E PLEBUS UNUM
The first graduate of West Point!
Who is Joseph Gardner Swift?
Graduated in 1802 and later returned as superintendent 1812-1814
Dissymmetry of Lift
What is the unequal amount of lift on opposite sides of the rotor disc.
This the definition of Land as Soon as Possible
What is "Land without delay at the nearest adequate site (i.e. an open field) at which a safe approach and landing can be made."
The is the primary regulatory publication for Army Aviation.
What is AR 95-1?
This what the letters PPC stand for.
Performance Planning Card
This was the year the first African American graduated from West Point.
What is 1870? (James Webster Smith)
The mathematical effect of increase of velocity on lift
What is square
This the Emergency Procedure for a Double Engine Failure in Flight
What is "Autorotation-Perform"?
Traffic Pattern Altitude at Lucas Stagefield
What is 1000 feet?
These are the environmental changes that necessitate me to recompute my PPC
What is an increase in temperature by 50C, increase of Pressure Altitude by 500 feet, or an increase of gross weight of 200 lbs.
The number of gallons in Lusk Reservoir, when the water is flowing the spillway, while Michie Stadium is under construction.
What is 79 million gallons, sir?
This is the angle between the airfoil chord line and resultant relative wind
What is the Angle of Attack? (AOA)
This the procedure if you lose an engine in flight
What is:
OEI Flight Conditions- Establish
Rotor Trim- Trim for Max
Affected Engine- Identify
Single Engine Emergency Shutdown- Perform
Land As Soon As Practicable
This is the minimum Ceiling and visibility requirement to depart Cairns AAF (KOZR)
What are 1000 foot ceiling and 3 miles visibility?
This the torque accuracy required when performing a hover check
What is 2%?
This is how the Cow is!
What is "She walks, she talks, she's full of chalk, the lacteal fluid extracted from the female of the bovine species is highly prolific to the nth degree."
This phenomenon occurs on a helicopter between 16-24 kts depending on airfoil design.
What is Effective Translational Lift (ETL)
This the Procedure to follow if you have an Engine Underspeed
1. OEI Flight Conditions Establish
2. Bleed Air Consumers- OFF
3. VAR NR sys Norm/Man - Check MAN
4. Affected Engine-Identify
5. N2 Trim Switch- Compensate for N2/NRO Drop and try to match torque
If torque match is not possible:
6. Twist Grip (affected engine) - Release stop plate and rotate towards FLIGHT until N2 and NRO stabilized in normal range and FLI needles match.
7. LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE
If no residual torque (aff eng) is available:
8. Single Engine Emergency Shutdown- Perform
What are the minimum VFR weather requirements to fly into the New Orleans Class B airspace?
What is the 3 miles visibility, Clear of Clouds?
The form number used to compute a weight and balance
What is the DD Form 365-4?
The answer to the question "What is the definition of leather?"
What is "If the fresh skin of an animal, cleaned and divested of all hair, fat, and other extraneous matter, be immersed in a dilute solution of tannic acid, a chemical combination ensues; the gelatinous tissue of the skin is converted into a non-putrescible substance, impervious to and insoluble in water; this sir, is leather."
In this aircraft this is the point in a rotorblade's position during forward flight, at which the Angle of Attack is at its maximum and its downward velocity is at its maximum.
What is the 9 o'clock position.
According to the RFM, this is the procedure to follow if you intend to transition to OEI Flight after experiencing an engine failure at an Out-of-Ground-Effect hover.
What is:
1. Collective Lever- Adjust to maintain NR
2. Airspeed- Increase if Possible
3. Collective Lever- Adjust to OEI Limits or Below
4. Rotor Speed- Trim to Max
5. Airspeed - Gain, 65 KIAS (Vy)
After reaching a Safe Altitude:
6. Collective lever - Reduce to OEI-MCP or below
7. Affected Engine- Identify
8. Single Emergency Shutdown- Perform
9. Land As Soon as Practicable
This the day the United States Army was born.
What is 14 June 1775?
This is the recurring time period required a US Army Category 2 Weight and Balance to be reviewed.
What is 90 Days?
