40
Q

What is the Main Rotor diameter of the Bell 407?

A

35 feet

41
Q

What is the MR hub constructed of?

A

glass/epoxy composite w/elastomeric bearings and dampeners which require no lubrication.

42
Q

What are the MR Blades constructed of?

A

They are a composite design constructed of glass/epoxy, spar, skins with a nomex core after body, with a nickel plated stainless steel leading edge strips.

43
Q

What type of T/R is system is installed on the B407?

A

The T/R is a 2 bladed teetering design, which has a 5.42 diameter. The tail rotor is mounted on the left side and rotates clockwise.

44
Q

What type of bearings are incorporated in the Tail Rotor?

A

Elastomeric, flapping and stops.

45
Q

What are the T/R blades constructed of?

A

Composite

46
Q

What is the T/R gearbox reduction and speed of rotation (rpm).

A

Gear reduction of 2.53 to 1, input rpm of 6317 and output rpm of 2500 rpm.

47
Q

At what % does the low rotor light and horn activate?

A

NR >95%, or <107%, no horn will sound on the high side, only a light.

48
Q

What is the function and purpose of the cyclic centering light?

A

When the cyclic is not centered a caution light will illuminate to prevent damage to the rotor hub. This light will only illuminate with the collective down and the aircraft on the ground.

49
Q

What does the acronym PRCU stand for?

A

Pedal Restrictor Control Unit

50
Q

Briefly what is the function and purpose of the PRCU.

A

The PRCU utilizes signals from speed sensors to activate a attenuating rotary solenoid to restrict left anti-torque pedal inputs.

51
Q

What two systems does the PRCU rely on for speed inputs?

A

Pitot and Static System

52
Q

At what airspeed does the Pedal Restrictor engage the left pedal stop?

A

55 KIAS +- 5 KIAS

53
Q

At what airspeed will the Pedal Restrictor retract and permit full T/R authority?

A

50 KIAS +/- 5 KTS

54
Q

Does the Pedal Restrictor incorporate any visual queues or warnings?

A

Yes, when fully engaged a message will illuminate on the annunciator panel “ENGAGED”

55
Q

At what PSI does the hydraulic system operate at normally?

A

1000 psi

56
Q

How many hydraulic filters are there on the Bell 407?

A

2, one on pressure side and one on the return side.

57
Q

Does the B407 hydraulic system utilize a bypass system?

What is unique about the bypass feature?

A

Yes, but only the return side incorporates a bypass for the filters.

58
Q

At what PSI will the High Pressure relief valve open?

A

1225 psi +/- 150 psi

Q

The hydraulic high pressure relief valve is normally closed, after it opens at what pressure will it reset?

A

When pressure drops below 1075 psi.

60
Q

What indication does the PIC utilize to determine when a hydraulic filter is approaching a impending clogged condition?

A

Each of the two filters is equipped with a small red button (LRB).

61
Q

At what pressure will the hydraulic filter LRB pop?

A

70 psi +- 10 psi

62
Q

When will the hydraulic caution light illuminate?

A

When pressure drops below 650 psi -/+ 100 psi.

63
Q

What are the major components of the electrical system.

A

Battery (24vdc), starter/gen, DC control unit, voltage regulator, relays, 28vdc buss, circuit breakers.

64
Q

What is absolutely essential to remember when executing a GPU start?

A

If the start was accomplished with battery off, make sure and turn it on prior to removing the GPU power. DO NOT attempt to power the system if GPU power was removed prior to turning battery on.

65
Q

What procedure MUST be completed if a GPU start was accomplished with battery off and GPU power removed with out the battery first turned on?

A

Shut down engine, perform Piston parking procedure,ensure proper voltage and restart.

66
Q

what is best glide airspeed in the 407?

A

80 Kts

67
Q

What is the minimum rate of decent in the B407?

A

55 kts.

68
Q

What speed is the maximum for Doors off?

A

100kts

69
Q

What is the maximum for sideward or rearward flight?

A

35 kts.

70
Q

What are the slope landing limitations of the B407?

A

10 degrees - Left, Right, tail down.

Nose down 5 degrees.

71
Q

How many hydraulic filters are there in the B407?

A

2, one on the pressure and one on the return.

72
Q

At what differential pressure will the hydraulic filters LRB, pop?

A

70 +/- 10 psi.

73
Q

Can temperature play a role in the LRB’s popping in the hydraulic system of the 407?

A

Yes, ambient temperatures 35f and below can cause them to pop.

74
Q

Where can you find the authority for the GW of 5250?

A

FMS 28

75
Q

At what pressure will the relief valve open to protect the hydraulic system from over pressure?

A

1225 psi +/- 150 psi and will close and reset at 1075 psi.
