Question 3

Hover Power Check Standards

Answer 3

1. Position the aircraft in the vicinity of the takeoff point and in the direction of takeoff at the appropriate HVR height.
2. Verify the aircraft gross weight is accurate in the CAAS/FPLN by comparing performance planning data, HVR override predicted TQ and actual TQ.
3. Determine if sufficient PWR is AVAIL to complete the mission by comparing actual TQ to planned GO/ NO-GO TQ and Validation Factor.
4. Determine if aircraft performance (both single and dual engine) is sufficient/available to complete the mission.

Question 4

Wheeler Ground

Answer 4

“Ground, this is CARGOxx on Chinook parking for Juliet taxiway to runway 06 for ____ departure”

Question 5

Wheeler Tower

Answer 5

“Wheeler this is CARGOxx, at _____, holding short runway 06 for _____departure”

Question 6

Lightning Radio

Answer 6

“Lightning Radio; CARGO xx, single CH47, __ POB, entering the TFTA at _____ free flight to Blue Sector.”

Question 7

CTAF

Answer 7

“N, S, E, W OAHU traffic, CARGO xx, single CH47 at ____, traveling N to S at ____ feet”

Question 8

Hover Power Check

Answer 8

Vicinity and direction of Take-off at 10’ hover

Hover Override: 10’ / no wind
verify weight is correct and compare to PPC (MFD Perf Prog)

CAAS weight / PPC Weight
Adjust PPC torque value by weight differential (2% torque = 1000 lbs)

Dynamic Torque, CAAS Torque, PPC Torque

Double dynamic torque for single engine IGE Capability (external factors)

Go/No Go Torque (PPC) attempt all OGE maneuvers

Validation Torque (PPC) not exceeded gross weight for mission profile

Hover Override to 80’ to determine SE OGE capability
Double CAAS OGE HVR TRQ

Verify Fuel

Enough fuel and power for the mission

Hover Power Check complete

Question 9

Cruise Check

Answer 9

Ramp and Cabin every 30 mins

Mission equipment:
Lighting
ASE
Weapons

Mission Equipment:
Flight Director - Coupled/uncoupled, cues are valid
FPLN - Update winds and temp
Fuel:
Switches
Open CAAS Fuel Page
AUX/ERFS transferring into mains, no over pressurization, total fuel, fuel flow, bingo time
FPLN Summ - Identify current cruise leg trq and compare to dynamic trq
FPLN Fuel page - Identify next landing location, check fuel remaining and bingo amounts at that location

Sufficient fuel and power available
