Q

Anytime an operational limit is exceeded…

A

An appropriate entry shall be made on a MAF. The entry shall state what limit(s) were exceeded and include range, duration, and any additional data that would aid maintenance personnel.

Note: If a limit is exceeded to the extent that a red “XXX” is indicated, the crew shall land as soon as practicable.

Q

Minimum Planned Fuel on Landing

Study These Flashcards
A

Shall be no less than 225 lbs (approximately 20 mins) of fuel per main tank. With fuel less than 300 lbs per main tank, maintain balanced flight at AOBs greater than 30 degrees.

19
Q

APU Limits

Study These Flashcards
A

The APU is not intended for routine in-flight use. Operation of the APU in flight shall be limited to essential operations only. Acceptable in-flight use includes EPs, single engine training, practice autorotations, and powering the ECS during extreme temperature operations.

20
Q

Transmission is limited by:

Study These Flashcards
A

Nr, torque, oil pressure, and oil temperature

Note: Prolonged hovering in hot weather 95 degrees and high gross weight may cause temperatures to rise in the yellow precautionary range. Operations in the precautionary range for less than 30 mins durning any one flight under these conditions is acceptable.

21
Q

Transmission Oil Pressure Limitations

Study These Flashcards
A

During steady-state level pitch attitudes xmsn pressure should be between 45-60.

The following conditions do not constitute an immediate emergency situation, but may be indicative of a degraded lubrication system. Maintenance action shall be performed to prevent potential long-term damage to the gear box:

  • Steady state pressure outside of 45-60 but w/in normal 30-65.
  • Flux not to exceed a range of 10 psi within normal 30-65.

During transient pitch or steady-state nose-high pitch attitudes xmsn oil press flux (including momentary flux below 30 psi and transient drops below 20 psi for up to 1 sec) are acceptable. Press flux below 30 psi shall be limited to 30 mins

22
Q
