19.

A drive system failure may be indicated by:

a and b answers are correct

Unusual noise or vibration

20.

Engine fire during start on ground:

If engine starts, run at 60-70% RPM for a short time, shut down and inspect for damage

If engine starts, run at 60-90% RPM for a short time and continue flight

If engine starts you may continue with the normal check list

21.

If fuel contamination is suspected:

add the proper fuel additive to tanks.

cancel the flight end defuel.

continue to drain fuel until all contamination is eliminated

22.

If the engine governor malfunctions

grip throttle firmly to override the governor

land immediately

let the governor to correct the problem

23.

Land as soon as practical.

Land immediately.

Continue flight.

24.

Turn fuel shut off valve off

26.

The rotor brake may be operated:

Below 60% rotor RPM.

Below 50% rotor RPM.

30 sec after pulling the engine cut-off.

27.

The procedure to adopt when the tail rotor fails is:

Fly slow.

Neither.

Autorotate

28.

In order to allow for a greater payload, fuel can be off-loaded.

True in any case

The above action is limited by the forward CG location with empty fuel

29.

If there is a CHIP warning light, but no abnormal noises:

Continue flight.

Land as soon as possible.

Land as soon as practical.

30.

If right roll in low ‘G’ condition is encountered in flight:

Gradually apply aft cyclic to restore positive ‘G’ forces and main rotor thrust

Apply lateral cyclic to eliminate roll

Gradually apply forward cyclic

31.

FIRE IN FLIGHT:

If engine stops running, shut off fuel valve and execute autorotation landing

If engine is running Shut off fuel valve and execute autorotation immediately

Land as soon as practical

32.

Each time an item of equipment is installed or removed:

an entry must be made, and the new moment must be determined on the W&B record.

an entry must be made but there is no need for a new moment calculation

a new entry is not necessary to be made
