Q

Transmission Oil Temperature Limitations

A

During any operating condition, no maintenance action is required if main transmission oil temperature is in the precautionary range continuously for 5 minutes or less.
Prolonged Hovering in hot weather, 86 °F (30 °C), may cause main transmission oil temperature to rise into the
precautionary range. Operation in the precautionary range for less than 30 minutes during any one flight under this
condition is acceptable and no maintenance action is required.

Q

Transmission Oil Pressure Limitations

A

During steady-state level pitch attitudes (i.e., level flight), the transmission oil pressure should be 45 to 60 psi. The following conditions do not constitute an immediate emergency situation, but may be indicative of a degraded lubrication system. Any discrepancy shall be documented on a Maintenance Action Form (MAF).
1. Steady pressure outside of 45 to 60 psi, but within the normal limits of 30 to 65 psi.
2. Fluctuations not to exceed a range of 10 psi, within the normal limits of 30 to 65 psi.

During transient pitch or steady-state nose-high pitch attitudes (autorotations, downwind hovering, rearward flight, slope-up landings, etc.) transmission oil pressure fluctuations (including momentary fluctuations below 30 psi and transient drops below 20 psi for up to one second) are acceptable. Operating with pressure fluctuations below 30 psi shall be limited to 30 minutes.

During rotor engagement, a zero oil pressure indication may indicate a no-oil-flow condition through the oil
lubrication system. Operating with a no oil pressure indication shall be limited to less than 1 minute and shall be documented on a Maintenance Action Form (MAF).

evolution or vice versa.
Maximum wind velocity for tail pylon or stabilator fold/spread operations is 45 knots from any direction.
