Avionics Electrical Technician First Class (AET1) SWE Practice Test

For all engine starts on MH-60 and MH-65, how many people shall be in the cockpit?

0 2 1 3

Correct Answer:

Explanation:

During engine start, the person at the controls is responsible for managing the start and watching engine parameters closely. For MH-60 and MH-65, only one person shall be in the cockpit during the start. This keeps the start sequence simple, ensures clear responsibility for monitoring N1/N2, ITT, rotor speed, and fuel flow, and reduces the risk of conflicting inputs or distractions during this critical phase. If a second crew member is needed for other tasks, they can assist from the cabin or outside once the engines are stable and the start is complete. Having the cockpit occupied by a single crewmember focuses attention and actions where they’re most needed, which is essential for a safe, controlled start.
