Question 5

How should DH be set?

Answer 5

10% below minimum authorised height

Question 6

Answer 6

Nope

Question 7

When modifying the AP, what are general rules?

Answer 7

1. Mode changes should be verbalised
   - E.g. FP: ”Engage airspeed and heading”, NFP: ”Airspeed and heading engaged”, FP: ”Check”
2. Flying pilot confirms mode engaged on their PFD
3. NFP advises of nav system changes

Question 8

When does “flyaway” get used and what does it mean?

Answer 8

Is stated by the FP on departure during the transition from the hover to ETL flight where should the aircraft become OEI a hover cannot be reentered

Basically: if we lose an engine from this point the aircraft cannot hover
Can be determined, if each engine is producing 64% TQ in the hover (OGE or IGE) then an OEI hover is not possible

Question 9

When does “committed” get used and what does it mean?

Answer 9

Is stated by the FP on approach when they believe that the aircraft cannot go around if OEI therefore the aircraft is committed to the landing

Question 10

What must be gathered/completed prior to a flight?

Answer 10

Met
NOTAMs
Weight and Balance (saved on objective)
PPDS (performance planning data sheet) (saved on objective)
Auth (on flightpro)
Flight notification
Prep crew brief (AGF onwards)

Question 11

What are the crew lookout sectors and how are they used?

Answer 11

Right seat: 11 —> 4 o’clock
Left seat: 1 —> 8 o’clock

Question 12

In forward flight when FLI is TQ, what is a good mental (not actual) limit?

Answer 12

It’s best if FLI does not go above 8 (JD Gouge)

Note: Forward flight is defined as 65kts+

Question 13

At what point does HIGE become HOGE?

Answer 13

Hover at 4ft AGL

HOGE = 20ft+
