The benefits of FNC treatment evident here on
rotor brake plate surfaces relative to corrosion growth and pad to rotor corrosion adhesion are similar to other published investigations on these topics documented to date, and will not be explored in depth in this paper.
I held at the "No
Rotor Brake Start Procedure" to conserve fuel.
Believe it or not, one pilot paged through the advisories and warnings on the MFD too quickly, released the
rotor brake while the gust lock was still engaged and destroyed the gust lock!
According to HAWE, hydraulic control of the yaw and
rotor brake shield gearboxes, rotor blades, tower, and foundations from wear and tear.
After researching maintenance diagrams and schematics, he discovered a
rotor brake could engage at high-rotor rpm when certain wires within the same bundle touched.
Demag DK Chain Hoists incorporate a Conical
Rotor Brake Motor, ergonomic push button, variable speed stepless option, overload clutch and the Demag exclusive load halt device.
The original travel drive unit was replaced by a system consisting of a Demag DRS Wheel Block at each corner of the transfer car and a Demag KBF (self-braking) Conical
Rotor Brake Motor, with a three-stage gearbox, driving two of the wheel-block units by a cross shaft.
It now looks as if naval technicians either wrongly set, or failed to set, a lifesaver device fitted to the
rotor brake.
A
rotor brake, for example, simply stops the movement of helicopter blades more quickly after engine shutdown than when they are allowed to coast down.
We grabbed the PCLs, shut down the engines, and stopped the rotor blades with the
rotor brake. The aircraft obviously was down--end of night.
