Slopes

Question 1

Slope Limits + asymmetric load consids:

Answer 1

Lateral: 10º
Nose up: 7º
Nose down: 10º
Max Weight: 17650lbs

Asymmetric configs:
- 5º (roll)
- Caution when wind above 25kts

Question 2

Prior to setting up for a slope, what must be confirmed/checked:

Answer 2

Setup:
- Confirm FLT Page set
- Pre landing checks (Park brake)

Discuss:
- Crew slope limits refresh (17650lbs/5º for uneven loads)
- Confirm the slope area is clear
- Landing light use/fire risk?

Question 3

What are the three requirements for dynamic rollover?

Answer 3

Pivot point
Rolling Motion
Exceeding the critical angle

Question 4

Slope limits are in reference to what?

Answer 4

The aircraft hover attitude

Question 5

When should a slope landing be aborted?

Answer 5

• AoB/Pitch limits are likely to be exceeded
• Cyclic is restricted by an obstruction
• Brakes do not hold
• Aircraft slides or wheels cannot be held in position

Question 6

Explain the steps to complete a slope landing:

Answer 6

• Stable hover w/ setup complete
• Lower COL until first wheel makes contact
• Continue into slope CYC until complete ground contact
• Hold cyclic POSN, confirm 3 degree FM limits
• Lower COL untill 20%, centre the cyclic, lower COL fully
