Q

MANEUVER LIMITATIONS

A

Continued Operation in Servo Transparency (Where Force Feedback is Felt In The Controls) Is PROHIBITED

Maximum load factor is a combination of TAS, Hσ and gross weight. Avoid such combinations at high values associated with high collective.
Transparency may be reached during maneuvers, steep turns, hard pull-up or when maneuvering near VNE. Self-correcting, the phenomenon will induce an uncommanded right cyclic load and an associated collective down reaction. However, even if the transparency feedback loads are fully controllable, immediate reaction is required to relieve the feed back loads: reduce the severity of the maneuver, follow the aircraft’s natural reaction, let the collective decrease naturally (avoid low pitch) and smoothly counteract the right cyclic motion. Transparency will disappear as soon as excessive loads are relieved.
- In maximum power configuration, decrease collective slightly before initiating a turn, as for this maneuver the power requirement is increased.
- In hover, avoid rotation faster than 6 sec. per full rotation.

REFUELING

Fuel temperature must be within the above OAT limitations specified for the fuel actually used for refueling. The engine can operate with mixtures of normal and replacement fuels. The limitations associated with the mixture correspond to the most restrictive of all the fuels used for the mixture. In order to overcome the limitation of the most restrictive fuel, the helicopter fuel system shall be drained.

Q

STARTER GENERATOR

A

When starting the engine, the starter time is the time between selecting the engine starting selector to ON and the engine igniting. When performing an engine ventilation, the starter time is the duration that the
[CRANK] is pressed.

To prevent starter overheat damage, limit starter time to the following:
- 30 seconds ON
- 60 seconds OFF
- 30 seconds ON
- 60 seconds OFF
- 30 seconds ON
- 30 minutes OFF
The 30 minute cooling period is required before beginning another starting cycle.
