When you bend the trailing edge of the trim tab DOWN for track adjustment, what will happen to that blade?
It will fly or track lower
It will fly or track higher
It will depend upon the speed of the helicopter
It will sweep forward
When you bend the trailing edge of the trim tab UP for track adjustment, what will happen to that blade?
It will fly or track lower
It will fly or track higher
It will depend upon the speed of the helicopter
It will sweep forward
When you start tracking activities what position should the trim tab be in before starting the first track check?
Full up deflection
Full down deflection
It doesn't matter
Neutral position
On the Hughes or Boeing 500, how are the blade adjustments made for tracking in a hover and in Flight?
Bend the outboard trim tab only in flight
Bend both the inboard and the outboard Trim tabs
Bend specified zones along the trailing edge of the blades as there are no trim tabs on these blades
Bend specified zones along the trailing edge of the blades as the trim tabs are for ground track only
Where will you feel a 1:1 vertical vibration and what is its most likely cause?
In your seat base and it will indicate the helicopter is out of balance
In your seat base and it will indicate the helicopter is out of track
In your stomach and it will indicate the helicopter is out of balance
In your stomach and it will indicate the helicopter is out of track
Where will you feel a 1:1 lateral vibration and what is its most likely cause?
In your seat base and it will indicate the helicopter is out of balance
In your seat base and it will indicate the helicopter is out of track
In your stomach and it will indicate the helicopter is out of balance
In your stomach and it will indicate the helicopter is out of track
What device is used with the Chadwick Helmuth Vibration Analyser to measure the amplitude of a vibration and in what units of measure that it will provide?
An accelerometer is used and it will be measure in revolutions per minute (RPM)
A magnetic pick-up is used and it will be measure in revolutions per minute (RPM)
An accelerometer is used and it will be measure in inches per second (IPS)
A magnetic interrupter is used and it will be measure in inches per second (IPS)
Which type of Main Rotor head design will you adjust blade sweep with a drag link or latch assemblies to adjust chord wise balance during the dynamic balance process?
A rigid rotor head
A semi-rigid rotor head
A fully articulated rotor head
A semi-automatic rotor head
On a rotor head that has adjustments for both chord wise and span wise balance, which adjustment is completed first during the static or dynamic balance process?
Chord wise balance
Span wise balance
It doesn't matter
Whichever requires the greater adjustment
