UH-60L / S-70 Torque Split
I fly the S-70A-9 Black Hawk and have a question relating to ECU malfunctions. I understand that the UH60L is very similar to our S-70A-9 (General Electric T700-GE-701C engines)?
In our checklist, there is an EP to manage a torque split (any time the torques are split by >5 %), and an EP to manage an ECU malfunction with a low-side failure (when the residual tq on the malfunctioning engine is zero).
Some people are saying that the torque split cannot occur (ie that you will always end up with zero tq) and that the checklist EP is redundant. Both EPs result in the engine being placed in 'ECU lockout' in any case. Same people have said that the tq split checklist used to be in the US Army UH60L checklist but has been taken out.
Others say that a tq split can occur but no one claims to have experienced one.
Are their any UH60L pilots who can confirm whether the Tq Split EP is in their checklist or not? Has anyone experienced one?
Thanks!
