Q

Extended APU Ground Operations

A

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 (266° F) the APU shall be shutdown and the transmission fluid 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.

Q

APU NR Caution

A

CAUTION
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.

Q

APU Transmission Oil Temp Caution

A

CAUTION
Do not operate the APU for more than 5 minutes at a main transmission oil temperature of 120 – 130° C. Shut down APU to prevent damaging accessory gearbox components.

19
Q

WEIGHT LIMITATIONS

A

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

20
Q

Airspeed Limits For Autorotation

A

Maximum airspeed for autorotation is 145 KTAS. Above 145 KTAS, drag on the rotor system will cause NR to decay.

21
Q

Airspeed Limits With One Engine Inoperative

A

Maximum airspeed with one engine inoperative is the greater of:

a. 67% of VNE determined from figure 5-13 using the GROSS WEIGHT line. Above this, a successful autorotation may not be possible due to NR decay.
b. The speed for minimum power determined from the Chapter 7 or Chapter 7A cruise charts using the MAX END/MAX R/C lines.

22
Q

Maximum Airspeeds During Manual Stabilator Operations

A

Maximum airspeeds are based on stabilator position. The stabilator position and nominal airspeed restrictions are displayed on the FLT page, FLT SET page, as well as the SYS page, as described in paragraph 2.68.

23
Q

Maximum Rearward/Sideward Flight Speed

A

Maximum rearward/sideward flight speed is 45 KTAS for all gross weights.

24
Q

Maximum Airspeed for Searchlight Extension

A

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

25
Q

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

A

Maximum airspeed with symmetrically loaded external fuel tanks (2 or 4) installed is 130 KTAS to prevent structural damage to the airframe.

26
Q

Maximum Airspeed for Stores Jettison

A

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

a. Maximum airspeed for stores jettison is 130 KTAS.
b. Hover to 45 KTAS (minimize side slip, if possible).
c. 45 to 130 KTAS (ball centered, if possible).

27
Q

Maximum Airspeed for External Tanks Jettison

A

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.

28
Q

MANEUVERING LIMITS

A

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

29
Q

Prevent Excessive Tail Rotor Loads

A

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.

30
Q

Flight with Canopy Enclosure Open

A

Flight, hovering flight, and air taxiing with the canopy enclosure open are prohibited, except for smoke/fume elimination.

31
Q

Landing Limits

A

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.

32
Q

External Tanks

A

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

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

33
Q

Flight into Turbulence

A

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

34
Q

Flight In Icing Conditions

A

Intentional flights into moderate icing conditions are 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).

35
Q

Flight In Instrument Meteorological Conditions

A

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

36
Q

Rotor Limitations – Start and Stop Limits

A

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

37
Q

USE OF FORCE TRIM

A

Force trim will not be selected OFF except in a failed or partial failed mode.

38
Q

NP NOTES

A

NOTE
• It is not abnormal to observe a NP1 and NP2 speed split during autorotation descent when the engines are fully decoupled from the transmission. A speed increase from 101% reference to 103% is possible for 701C only.

• Maximum NP vertical tape indication is 120 %

39
Q

Oil Pressure NOTE

A

NOTE
It is normal for oil pressure to be high during first start when oil is cold. Oil pressure should return to normal after 5 minutes operation at idle speed. During these 5 minutes, do not accelerate above ground idle speed until oil pressure can be held at or below maximum limit throughout acceleration.

40
Q

Excessive Tail Rotor Scissors Loads

A

Avoid agressive 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.
