- Chapter 11: Helicopter Emergencies and Hazards › System Malfunctions › Antitorque System Failure
following the manufacturer’s recommendations regarding operating limits and procedures and periodic maintenance and inspections, many system and equipment failures can be eliminated. Certain malfunctions or failures can be traced to some error on the part of the pilot; therefore ... appropriate flying techniques and use of threat and error management may help to prevent an emergency Antitorque System Failure Antitorque failure usually falls into one of two categories. One is failure of the power drive portion of the tail rotor…

this reason, a flight instructor should observe recognized safety practices, as well as regulations during all flight operations. The student pilot who enrolls in a pilot training program commits considerable time, effort, and expense to achieve a pilot certificate. Students ... flight instructor and the success of the pilot training program based on their ability to pass the requisite FAA practical test. A competent flight instructor stresses to the student that practical tests are a sampling of pilot ability compressed into…

Servicing of Oxygen Systems Before servicing any aircraft with oxygen, consult the specific aircraft service manual to determine the type of equipment required and procedures to be used. Certain precautions should be observed whenever aircraft oxygen systems ... serviced. Oxygen system servicing should be accomplished only when the aircraft is located outside of the hangars. Personal cleanliness and good housekeeping are imperative when working with oxygen. Oxygen under pressure creates spontaneous results when brought in contact with petroleum…

from a single cyclic located in the center of the helicopter. The cyclic can pivot in all directions. Antitorque Pedals The antitorque pedals, located on the cabin floor by the pilot’s feet, control the pitch and therefore the thrust ... tail rotor blades or other antitorque system. See Chapter 5, Helicopter Components, Sections, and Systems, for a discussion on these other systems. [Figure 3-5] Newton’s Third Law was discussed in Chapter 2, General Aerodynamics, stating that for every…
- Chapter 13: Aircraft Landing Gear Systems › Anti-Skid › Anti-Skid System Tests
Ground Test Ground tests vary slightly from aircraft to aircraft. Consult the manufacturer’s maintenance manual for test procedures specific to the aircraft in question. Much of the anti-skid system testing originates from testing circuits in the anti-skid ... control unit. Built-in test circuits continuously monitor the anti-skid system and provide warning if a failure occurs. An operational test can be performed before flight. The anti-skid control switch and/ or test switch is used in conjunction…
