Fam 3 MPTS version

=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
 * 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.

Note
 * 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).
 * (C)- 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 BAT switch OFF during flight.
 * (C)- 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 nonessential bus.
 * (C)- 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 CBs — 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
 * (C)- 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.

=DC Load meter and Voltmeter= If the loadmeter or voltmeter fluctuates erratically, pegs or goes to zero: 1. Generator — Cycle. If the problem is corrected: 2. Continue the flight. If the problem is not corrected: 3. Use generator failure procedures.

CAUTION
 * Sustained loadmeter indications greater than 70 percent may be caused by an electrical fire.

=Overheated Battery= A temperature sensing system is incorporated in the TH-57 to warn the crew of a possible thermal runaway condition. This system has a two stage sensing system located directly under the battery. 1. Batt Temp If the battery case temperature is 54°C +/-3° or higher the "BAT TEMP" light will come on. Turn the Battery switch off and flight may be continued. 2. Batt HOT If the battery case temperature is 60°C +/-3° or higher the "BAT HOT" light will come on. Turn the Battery switch off and land ASAP.

=Electrical Fire= PROCEDURES: *1. BAT switch — OFF. (C)*2. STANDBY GEN switch — OFF. (C)*3. STBY ATT IND switch — OFF in VMC. *4. MAIN GEN switch — OFF. If fire persists: *5. Land immediately.

If fire extinguishes: *6. Land as soon as possible.

If electrical power is required to restore minimum equipment for continued flight, proceed as follows: 7. All circuit breakers — Out. (C)8. Check BAT RELAY circuit breaker — In. 9. BAT switch — ON. 10. MAIN GEN FIELD and MAIN GEN CBs — In. 11. MAIN GEN switch — Reset, then ON. (C)12. STBY GEN RELAY circuit breaker = In. (C)13. STBY GEN switch — ON. (C)14. STBY ATT IND switch — ON. 15. CBs for essential equip—In one at a time in order of importance.

Note
 * Ensure corresponding bus supply circuit breakers are in to provide power to desired electrical equipment.
 * Voltmeter will not indicate battery voltage until battery bus supply and voltmeter circuit breakers are in.
 * Flight operation can be maintained without battery and generator. Instruments powered by the 28-Vdc power system, however, will be inoperable.

=Smoke and Fume Elimination= Indications:
 * Fumes in cockpit
 * Smoke in cockpit
 * Equipment failure.

PROCEDURES: *1. ECS and DEFOG blower — OFF. *2. Vents/windows — Open. *3. Slip or skid A/C to eliminate smoke and fumes. *4. Land as soon as possible.

=Fuselage Fire= PROCEDURES: *1. Land immediately. *2. Emergency shutdown — Complete.

WARNING
 * Fire extinguisher fluid vapors are dangerous and their use should be limited to a well ventilated area. A moving TH-57 with the cabin vents and windows open is considered to be a well-ventilated area.

Note
 * A sideslip may be desirable to keep the flame from spreading.

=CRM - Assertivness= WHAT IS ASSERTIVENESS?
 * The willingness/readiness to actively participate, state and maintain a position, until convinced by the facts that other options are better.
 * Requires the initiative and the courage to act.

COMFORT LEVEL
 * Comfort level is the degree to which you feel comfortable with what is happening, while taking into account that flying a mission can be dangerous and demanding.
 * Whenever comfort level is exceeded, "Speak Up".

BARRIERS TO ASSERTIVENESS
 * Position of Authority
 * Experience
 * Rank
 * Lack of Confidence
 * Fear of Reprisal
