    On the H-60 helicopter, autorotation is achieved by fully 

    • Lowering collective pitch during climb.

    • Lowering collective pitch during descent.

    • Increasing collective pitch during climb.

    • Increasing collective pitch during descent.

    Correct Answer
    A. Lowering collective pitch during descent.
    Explanation
    Autorotation is a maneuver used in helicopters to safely land in the event of an engine failure. During autorotation, the helicopter's rotor blades are allowed to spin freely, generating lift from the airflow. To enter autorotation, the pilot needs to lower the collective pitch, which decreases the angle of attack of the rotor blades and reduces the overall lift. This allows the helicopter to descend smoothly and maintain control. Therefore, the correct answer is lowering collective pitch during descent.

    The acceleration control valve compares these two inputs to schedule the proper fuel-flow to the atomizer during a C-130 aircraft’s auxiliary power unit (APU) acceleration.

    • Revolutions per minute (rpm) and exhaust gas temperature (EGT).

    • Compressor discharge pressure and fuel pressure.

    • Compressor inlet temperature and rpm.

    • EGT and fuel pressure.

    Correct Answer
    A. Compressor discharge pressure and fuel pressure.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is compressor discharge pressure and fuel pressure. The acceleration control valve in the C-130 aircraft's auxiliary power unit (APU) uses these two inputs to determine the proper fuel-flow to the atomizer during acceleration. By monitoring the compressor discharge pressure and fuel pressure, the valve can adjust the fuel-flow accordingly to ensure optimal performance and efficiency of the APU.

     If the engines and rotors on an H-60 helicopter are not running, you can operate the auxiliary power unit (APU) continuously up to temperatures of 

    • 21 degrees (°) Celsius (C).

    • 37 °C.

    • 51 °C.

    • 87 °C.

    Correct Answer
    A. 51 °C.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 51 °C. The explanation for this is that the auxiliary power unit (APU) on an H-60 helicopter can be operated continuously up to temperatures of 51 °C. This means that as long as the temperature does not exceed 51 °C, the APU can be used even if the engines and rotors are not running.
