TD29 DQ

Describe the purpose and how to perform the Hover Power Check:

Purpose:

1. Determine whether aircraft weight exceeds maximum allowable gross weight

2. Verify aircraft gross weight

3. Determine sufficient power is available to perform the mission

How:

- Use hover height from PPC

- Perform hover at 3ft and in direction of takeoff

- P will monitor the aircraft instruments

- Verify hover power check by comparing actual TQ to predicated TQ

Describe how to perform the fuel consumption check:

-Initiate within 10 minutes of leveling off or entering mission profile, record the total fuel quantity and the time of reading

-Compute the fuel consumption rate +/- 50 lb/hr

-Complete the fuel check with 15-30 mins after taking initial reading.

-Determine whether the remaining fuel is sufficient to complete flight
