Q

ENGINE STARTING LIMITATIONS

A

During starting if N1 does not reach 58% in a total time of 45 seconds (or 60 seconds below 10 C FAT), close throttle and press starter button until TOT is below 200 C.

If engine fails to start on third attempt, abort start and make an entry on DA Form 2408-13-1. Starter engage time limits above do not apply to engine starting limitations should abort start procedures become necessary.

Q

TURBINE OUTLET TEMPERATURE (TOT) LIMITS

A

Caution

Exceeding the limits of 810 C TOT or 100% torque may cause N1 topping with resultant rotor droop.

17
Q

ENGINE RPM LIMITATIONS

A

Warning

Use of the throttle to control rpm is not authorized. (Refer to Chapter 9, Emergency Procedures and the USAAWC Flight Training Guide for exceptions.)

18
Q

N2 TRANSIENT OVERSPEED LIMITS

A

N2 transient overspeed limit is 15 seconds maximum. Shaded area represents allowable overspeed.

Explanation:

N2 transient overspeed is dependant upon engine torque.

0 - 32% Engine torque: 107% Engine RPM.

32% - 100% Engine torque: gradually decreases to 103% Engine RPM.

19
Q

WEIGHT LIMITATIONS

A

Maximum allowable ramp weight is 3,350 lbs.

Maximum allowable gross weight for hover/flight is 3,350 lbs.

Minimum front seat weight is 170 lbs.

NOTE

Use ballast as required to maintain basic weight CG within limits.

20
Q

LONGITUDINAL CENTER OF GRAVITY LIMITS

A

VMC Center of gravity limits are from station 106.0 to 114.2; however, the forward and aft limits are variable depending upon gross weight and aircraft configuration. Refer to Center of Gravity vs. Gross Weight Chart in Chapter 6.

NOTE

Station 0 (datum) is located 55.16 inches forward of forward jack point centerline.

IMC Longitudinal CG limits are from station 106 to 110 at GW of 2400 pounds to 3200 pounds and 106.9 to 110.0 at gross weights above 3200 pounds. Refer to Chapter 6.

DOOR(S) OFF

(1) No change from basic helicopter CG with only the aft cabin door(s) OFF.
(2) With one or both forward doors off, the longitudinal CG limits are the same as with doors on.
(3) Actual weight change shall be determined after doors, etc., have been removed and ballast readjusted, if necessary, to return basic weight center of gravity to within allowable limits.

21
Q

LATERAL CENTER OF GRAVITY LIMITS

A

NOTE

Lateral CG limits vary depending on longitudinal CG location. Refer to Lateral vs. Longitudinal CG limits chart in Chapter 6.

a. 3.0 inches left of helicopter centerline.
b. 4.0 inches right of helicopter centerline.

22
Q

FUEL BOOST PUMP LIMITATIONS

A

Fuel boost pumps shall be ON during normal operations.

Maximum operating - VFR 13,500 feet pressure altitude. - IFR 8,000 feet pressure altitude.

29
Q

FLIGHT RESTRICTION FOR HIGH POWER

VNE 80 knots with >85% TO 100% Torque applied.

30
Q

SLOPE LANDING/TAKEOFF LIMITATIONS

A

Slope operations shall be limited to slopes of 8 degrees or less.

CAUTION

Caution is to be exercised for slopes greater than 5 degrees since rigging, loading; terrain and wind conditions may alter the slope landing capability.

31
Q

AEROBATIC MANEUVERS

A

Aerobatic maneuvers are prohibited. Aerobatic flight is defined to be any intentional maneuver involving an abrupt change in aircraft attitude, an abnormal attitude, pitch angle greater than 30 degrees or roll angles greater than 60 degrees, or abnormal acceleration not necessary for normal flight.

32
Q

CONTROL MOVEMENTS

A

CAUTION

For gross weights greater than 3000 LBS and density altitudes greater than sea level, the directional control margin may be significantly reduced while hovering in winds from the right greater than 20 knots or for right sideward flight at speeds greater than 20 knots.

Abrupt control movements, including rapid and repetitive anti-torque pedals reversals are prohibited to avoid excessive stresses in the structure. This restriction in no way limits normal control application.
