Question 9

APU Caution

Answer 9

Avoid prolonged operation at 94%-96% NR with the APU running. The APU clutch will oscillate from engaged to disengaged. This creates high loads on the clutch and shall be avoided.

Question 10

APU Operating Limitations

Answer 10

APU operation is prohibited during normal flight. After a fault or aborted start, wait 30 seconds after APU has stopped before attempting another start. After 2 consecutive start attempts, wait 20 minutes before third start attempt. No more than 3 start attempts are permitted in one hour.

Do not operate the APU for more than 5 minutes at a XMSN TEMP1 or 2 of 120 - 130° C. Shutdown APU to prevent damaging accessory gearbox components.

Question 11

Extended APU Ground Operations

Answer 11

During prolonged ground operations greater than 30 minutes, observe XMSN TEMP 1 and XMSN TEMP 2 on the SYS page. If the temperatures exceed 130°C, the APU shall be shutdown and the transmission allowed to cool for 30 minutes prior to resuming APU ground operations; or transmission fluid may be cooled by operating an engine with rotor turning. There is no requirement to remove transmission side panels during extended APU ground operations. However, the transmission fluid will not get as hot under high ambient temperature conditions if the side panels are removed.

Question 12

Weight limits

Answer 12

The aircraft maximum gross weight is 20,260 pounds, except for non-tactical ferry flights, which may not exceed 23,000 pounds.

Question 13

Autorotation airspeed limits

Answer 13

Maximum airspeed for autorotation

is 145 KTAS. Above 145 KTAS, drag on the rotor system will cause NR to decay rapidly.

Question 14

Airspeed Limits With One Engine Inoperative

Answer 14

The greater of:

1. 67% of VNE. Above this, a successful autorotation may not be possible due to rapid NR decay.
2. The airspeed for minimum power.

Question 15

Maximum Airspeeds During Manual Stabilator Operations

Answer 15

Maximum airspeeds are based on stabilator position. The stabilator position and nominal airspeed restrictions are displayed on the FLT, FLT SET and SYS pages.

Question 16

Maximum Rearward/Sideward Airspeed

Answer 16

45 KTAS for all gross weights

Question 17

Maximum Airspeed for Searchlight Extension

Answer 17

The searchlight is designed for operation (extend/retract/rotate) at speeds up to 90 knots. However, as long as operation is not attempted, the light head can be left in any extended position at speeds up to VNE.

Question 18

Maximum Airspeed with Symmetrically Loaded External Fuel Tanks (2 or 4) Installed

Answer 18

130 KTAS to prevent structural damage to the airframe.

Question 19

Maximum Airspeed for Stores Jettison

Answer 19

Jettison of external armament stores is not authorized except for emergency conditions and then only from unaccelerated flight during:

1. Maximum airspeed for stores jettison is 130 KTAS
2. Hover to 45 KTAS (minimize sideslip, if,possible)
3. 45 to 130 KTAS (ball centered, if possible)

Question 20

Maximum Airspeed for External Tanks Jettison.

Answer 20

Jettison of external fuel tanks is not authorized except for emergency conditions and then only from airspeeds less than 100 KTAS. Jettison from level flight if possible, and if not, jettison at an airspeed which minimizes the rate of descent at the time of jettison.

Question 21

Maneuvering limits

Answer 21

Intentional maneuvers beyond attitudes ±30° in pitch or ±60° in roll are prohibited.

Question 22

Excessive Tail Rotor Scissors Loads

Answer 22

Avoid aggressive directional and lateral control inputs greater than 1 inch/second when conducting combat maneuvers requiring a left turn. This is to prevent excessive tail rotor scissors loads.

Question 23

Excessive Tail Rotor Loads

Answer 23

Avoid large pedal step inputs in arresting right hovering / low speed yawing turns greater than 60°/second. This is to prevent excessive tail rotor drive system loads.

Question 24

Flight with Canopy Enclosure Open

Answer 24

Prohibited except for smoke/fume elimination.

Question 25

Landing limits

Answer 25

Do not complete a landing on terrain which produces a pitch attitude change from a hover greater than 7° nose up or 12° nose down; or a roll attitude greater than 10°. Data is not available beyond these limits at gross weights above 17,650.

Question 26

External Tanks. With external fuel tanks (2 or 4) containing fuel, symmetrically installed, the following restrictions apply:

Answer 26

1) Normal load factor of 2 Gs shall not be exceeded. (2) Maneuvers are limited to those required to takeoff, climb to optimum altitude, heading/course corrections, obstacle avoidance, descend and land. (3) 230 gal external fuel tanks shall be in the flight stow position (4° nose-up) with respect to the waterline (WL). (4) Rapid and step-shaped pedal inputs in excess of 1/2 in. shall be avoided. (5) Operation of the aircraft with the 230-gallon Extended Range Fuel System (ERFS) is prohibited during operations where hostile fire is highly probable.

Question 27

Turbulence

Answer 27

Flight into known or forecast extreme turbulence or into known severe turbulence is prohibited.

Question 28

Icing conditions

Answer 28

Intentional flight into moderate icing conditions is prohibited. Flight into known or forecast trace or light icing conditions is authorized and not considered a hazard unless the condition is encountered for an extended period (over one hour).

Question 29

IMC

Answer 29

The aircraft is not qualified for IMC flight. The backup flight instruments are required to be installed and operational for all flights.

Question 30

Rotor Limitations - Start and Stop Limits

Answer 30

Maximum wind velocity for rotor start or stop is 45 knots to prevent droop stop damage.

Question 31

Force trim

Answer 31

Will not be selected off except in a failed or partial failed mode.

Question 32

Engine Starts At Ambient Temperatures of 61°F (16°C) and Below.

Answer 32

Two consecutive start cycles may be made, followed by a 3 minute rest period, followed by two additional consecutive start cycles. A 30 minute rest period is then required before any additional starts.

Question 33

Engine Starts At Ambient Temperatures Above 61° F (16° C).

Answer 33

Two consecutive start cycles may be made. A 30 minute rest period is then required before any additional starts.
