I3002

Here is the BI 2 Kneeboard Card

=Vertical S-1 Pattern=
 * 1.	Trim the aircraft at 80 kias on a cardinal heading and assigned altitude.
 * 2.	Three seconds prior to a cardinal time, smoothly adjust power to establish a standard rate climb or descent. Continue maneuver for one minute (500 feet of altitude change). Check progress of maneuver at least every 15 seconds. Adjust power as required to complete maneuver on time. Maintain heading and airspeed.
 * 3.	Fifty feet prior to leveloff altitude, adjust power and attitude to level off on altitude, heading, and airspeed.
 * 4.	Trim the aircraft at 80 kias on assigned heading and new altitude for one minute.
 * 5.	Three seconds prior to the cardinal time, smoothly adjust power to establish a standard rate descent or climb in the opposite direction of the first half of the maneuver. Continue maneuver for one minute (500 feet of altitude change). Check progress of maneuver at least every 15 seconds. Adjust power as required to complete maneuver on time. Maintain heading and airspeed.
 * 6.	Fifty feet prior to leveloff altitude, adjust power and attitude to level off on altitude, heading, and airspeed.
 * 7.	Trim the aircraft at 80 kias on assigned heading and altitude.

=Instrument Auto= Below is what the book says but since the squadrons are no longer doing full auto's in the TH-57C anymore many instructors are doing a full auto to the ground in the sim. Be prepared to do your normal "B" model full auto, initiated by the instructor flipping the Fuel Valve switch to the off position and then "Down, right, transition, turn, attitude, NR ball, Attitude, Nr, Courseline, 200'-level, 150 collective full down, 100' flare (8-10°), 10-15'-pull pause level cushion cushion cushion." Keeping it level at the bottom requires a lot of back cyclic.

In the sims you can expect to do full autos to the deck, in the Aircraft you will do no Autos during your BI phase.


 * 1.	The instructor will initiate the maneuver by rolling the twist grip to flight idle and telling the student he has a simulated engine failure.
 * 2.	Establish the aircraft in a stable autorotative descent. Adjust nose attitude to 60 kias and collective to maintain rotor rpm in the green (94-95% optimum).
 * 3.	Turn in direction of last known wind.
 * 4.	Ensure harness is locked, a simulated mayday report is given, and transponder set to 7700.
 * 5.    Time and altitude permitting, consider executing Engine Restart in Flight Procedures.

If VMC is encountered above 200' AGL:
 * 6.    Continue flight in VMC and transition to Full Autorotation procedures.

If still IMC passing through 200' AGL:
 * 7.	Level the wings even if not headed into the wind.
 * 8.    At 150' AGL, ensure collective is full down.
 * 9.    At 75 to 100' AGL, smoothly establish an 8 to 10 degree nose up attitude (flare) on the attitude indicator (depending on gross weight and wind conditions) to reduce groundspeed and rate of descent.
 * 10.   At 10 to 15' AGL, coordinate up collective and forward cyclic to slow the rate of decent and lower the nose to level attitude.  Maintain heading with pedals.
 * 11.   Level the skids prior to touchdown (4 degrees nose up).  Use collective as necessary to cushion the landing and touchdown with 0 to 10 kts groundspeed.

=Main Generator Failure= MAIN GENERATOR FAILURE INDICATIONS:
 * Loadmeter to zero.
 * MAIN GEN or GEN FAIL caution light - ON.
 * (B) DC voltmeter indicates battery voltage.
 * (C) Voltmeter indicates 0

WARNING Note Note
 * With the battery switch OFF or battery exhaustion, both fuel boost pumps are inoperative. Descend below 6,000 feet pressure altitude.
 * With one or both boost pumps inoperative, minimum fuel is 20 gallons; 10 gallons is considered unusable.
 * Prior to shutting off all electrical power, the pilot must determine the equipment that is essential to the particular flight environment that will be encountered (e.g., flight instruments and fuel boost pumps).
 * In the TH-57C, time of operation of ESS No. 2 bus on battery power is approximately 40 minutes with pitot heat OFF and an 80-percent charged battery (approximately 35 minutes with pitot heat ON). To conserve battery power as needed for extended flights or for use of landing lights at destination, turn off unnecessary electrical equipment on the ESS No. 2 and NON ESS Bus.
 * With the NORMAL/RECOVER switch in NORMAL, failure of the main generator will result in illumination of the FUEL PUMP caution light because of loss of power to the nonessential bus.
 * Resetting the BUS/TIE RELAY circuit breaker will cause the main battery to power the nonessential bus, accelerating main battery depletion.

PROCEDURES:

1. GEN FIELD and GEN RESET circuit breakers - Check In. 2. MAIN GEN switch - Reset, then ON. If generator power is not restored: 3. MAIN GEN switch - OFF. 4. Unnecessary electrical equipment - OFF. (C) 5. NORMAL/RECOVER switch - Recover as Desired. (C) 6. Voltmeter Select Switch - MAIN BAT. 7. Descend below 6,000 feet. 8. Land as soon as practical. If power is restored: 9. Continue flight. Note
 * In the TH-57C, with the loss of the main battery after a main generator failure, the HSI and both RMIs will be inoperative for TACAN, LOC AND VOR approaches; however, the RMIs will still provide relative ADF bearing. VMC should be attained as soon as possible.
 * Be prepared for a possible electrical and/or engine compartment fire because of excessive wiring load or generator meltdown.

=Standby Generator Failure= If power not restored: If power restored:
 * 1. STBY GEN circuit breaker - In. Check voltmeter for indication.
 * 2. STBY GEN switch - OFF, Then ON.
 * 3. Land as soon as practical.
 * 4. Continue flight.
