(POH 3-9) If the CARBON MONOXIDE light illuminates, what does it indicate and what actions are required? - Correct Answer-It indicates levated levels of carbon monoxide (CO) in the cabin. If in flight, open the nose and door vents and shut off the heater. If hovering, land or transition to forward flight. If symtoms of CO poisioning accompany warning light, land immediately. (POH 7-22, 3-10) If the low RPM horn and caution light activate, what do they indicate and what are required? - Correct Answer-"A low rpm hor and illuminated caution light indicate that rotor rpm may be below safe limits. 1. Immediately roll on throttle. 2. Lower collective. 3. In forward flight, apply aft cyclic. (POH 3-10)" Under what condition will the low RPM horn and caution light be disabled? - Correct Answer-The low RPM horn and caution light are disabled when the collective is full down. (POH 3-10, 7-18) Under what condition will the low RPM horn and caution light activate? - Correct Answer-Rotor RPM below 97% while the collective is in any position than full down. (POH 3-10) What could happen if a start is attempted while the main rotor blades are not approximately level? - Correct Answer-A tailcone strike could occur. Be sure that main rotor blades are approximately level at the end of the preflight check, prior to engine start. When flying solo, how should the baggage be distibuted? - Correct Answer-Fill the left baggage compartment to capacity before using the right seat and avoid placing ojects in compartments that could injure the occupant if the seat collapses during a hard landing. What continuous rotor RPM range must be avoided during start and run-up? Why? - Correct Answer-60 to 70%, to minimize tail resonance. On slippery surfaces, what must the pilot be prepared to do as the governor increases RPM? - Correct Answer-The pilot should be prepared to counter nose-right rotation with left pedal. During run-up and shutdown, the pilot should uncover his or her right ear, open the right door, and listen for what? - Correct Answer-The Pilot should listen for unusual bearing noise, because failing bearings will produce an audible whine or growl well before final failure. Is in-flight leaning of the mixture recommended? Why? - Correct Answer-No, because engine stoppage may result and there is no propeller to keep the engine turning should overleaning occur. What must be done when entering an autorotation above 4.000 feet to prevent an engine overspeed? - Correct Answer- Reduce the throttle slightly before lowering the collective. "To avoid inadvertent engine stoppage during a practice autorotation, how should the throttle be rolled off? Inadvertent: yanlışlıkla" - Correct Answer-The throttle should be rolled off smoothly for a small visible needle split. Do not chop the throttle to simulate a power failure. The R22 has a light, low inertia rotor system. Where is the most the energy required for an autorotation stored? - Correct Answer-In the forward momentum of the aircraft, not in the rotor.

(POH 4-10) "How should carburetor heat be used when operating below 18 inches MAP? Why? How should carburetor heat be used when operating above 18 inches MAP?" - Correct Answer-". Power settings blow 18 inches MAP: ignore gauge and always apply full carb heat. (CAT gauge is incorrect below 18 inches MAP) .Power settings above 18 inches MAP: Apply caburator heat as required to keep CAT gauge needle out of yellow arc." "Why could the pilot sometimes be unaware of carburetor ice formation and what is remedy to avoid this situation? Remedy:çare" - Correct Answer-Due to governor automatically increasing the throttle to maintain constant manifold pressure and RPM. Always apply carb heat as required whenever icing conditions are suspected. If the R22 is required with carb heat assist (on O-360 engines) when is it recommended that the control knob be unlatched to activate carb heat assist? - Correct Answer-Whenever the What happens as a result of a low G condition? - Correct Answer-Excessive flapping results in the main rotor hub assembly striking the main rotor mast with subsequent main rotor system separation from the helicopter. What recommendation should pilots follow in order to avoid low G conditions? - Correct Answer-"1. Maintain cruise speed between 60 KIAS and less than 0.9 Vne, but no lower than 57 KIAS. 2. Use maximum power-on RPM at all times during powered flight. 3. Avoid sideslip during flight (maintain in trim flight). 4. Avoid large, rapid forward cyclic inputs in forward flight. 5. Avoid abrupt control inputs in turbulance." At what wind speed and maximum density altitude has hover controlability been officially been officially substantiated? - Correct Answer-9.800 feet density altitude in a 17 knot wind from any direction. The performance data presented in Section 5 (Performance) was obtained under ideal conditions. What must the pilot be cautious about? - Correct Answer-Performance under other conditions may be substantially less. The hover performance data given is with carburetor heat off. Applying full carburetor heat reduces the hover ceilings by how much? - Correct Answer-Up to 2.000 feet. Under what temperature conditions has satisfactory engine cooling been demonstrated? - Correct Answer-"At an OAT of 38 C (100 F) at sea level or 23 C (41 F) above ISA altitude. ISA: ICAO Standard Atmosphere" Is operation within the shaded areas of the height velocity diagram prohibited? - Correct Answer-No, but it is not recommended. A max performance takeoff enters the shaded area. Where is the fuel located in reference to the helicopter center of gravity (CG) as fuel is burned? - Correct Answer-"Fuel is located aft of the helicopter CG, causing the CG to shift forward as fuel is burned. Note: This is why empty weight CG must be calculated as well as full fuel weigh CG. " What limits the amount of fuel that can be off-loaded to allow for greater payload? - Correct Answer-The amount of fuel that can be off-loaded is limited by the forward center of gravity location with empty fuel. What must be done following any modification that moves the empty center of gravity (CG) aft? - Correct Answer- Calculate weight and balance with full fuel and 130 lb pilot (135 lb with aux tank). If this calculation shows CG aft of the aft limit, instal fixed ballast in nose to comply with the solo pilot weight limitation in section 2. In regard to lateral center of gravity calculations, which side is positive and which side is negative? - Correct Answer-Right is positive, left is negative.
