- Chapter 10. Helicopter Operations › Section 1. Helicopter IFR Operations › 10-1-1. Helicopter Flight Control Systems
order to be certificated for IFR operation, a specific helicopter may require the use of one or more of these systems, in any combination. d. In many cases, helicopters are certificated for IFR operations with either one or two pilots ... Certain equipment is required to be installed and functional for two pilot operations, and typically, additional equipment is required for single pilot operation. These requirements are usually described in the limitations section of the Rotorcraft Flight Manual…
- Chapter 4: Helicopter Components, Sections, and Systems › Hydraulics
Hydraulics Most helicopters, other than smaller piston-powered helicopters, incorporate the use of hydraulic actuators to overcome high control forces. [Figure 4-25] A typical hydraulic system consists of actuators, also called servos, on each flight control, a pump which ... usually driven by the main rotor transmission and a reservoir to store the hydraulic fluid. Some helicopters have accumulators located on the pressure side of the hydraulic system. This allows for a continuous fluid pressure into the system. A switch…

useful, especially during cold weather starting. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for engine starting using a GPU. The electrical system is turned on or off with a master switch. Turning the master switch to the ON position provides electrical energy ... electrical equipment circuits except the ignition system. Equipment that commonly uses the electrical system for its source of energy includes: • Position lights • Anticollision lights • Landing lights • Taxi lights • Interior cabin lights • Instrument lights • Radio equipment • Turn indicator Fuel gauges Electric…
- Chapter 11: Helicopter Emergencies and Hazards › System Malfunctions › Antitorque System Failure
System Malfunctions By 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 ... 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…

comprised of glass fiber reinforced material. The hub is a single piece of forged rigid titanium. The rigid rotor system is very responsive and is usually not susceptible to mast bumping like the semirigid systems because the rotor hubs ... fuselage to move together as one entity and eliminates much of the oscillation usually present in the other rotor systems. Other advantages of the rigid rotor include a reduction in the weight and drag of the rotor…
