Question 1

Flight with Canopy Enclosure Open

Answer 1

Flight with the canopy open is prohibited, except for smoke/fume elimination.

Question 2

Maneuvering Limits

Answer 2

Intentional maneuvers beyond attitudes ± 30º in pitch and ± 60º in roll are prohibited.

Question 3

APU OPERATING LIMITS - CAUTION 1 (NR %)

Answer 3

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.

Question 4

Airspeed Limits With One Engine Inoperative

Answer 4

Maximum airspeed with one engine inoperative is the greater of:

1. 67% of V_NE determined from Figure 5-13 using the GROSS WEIGHT line. Above this, a successful autorotation may not be possible due to rapid NR decay.
2. The airspeed for minimum power determined from the applicable Chapter 7 cruise charts using the MAX END/MAX R/C lines.

Question 5

APU Operating Limitations

Answer 5

APU operation is prohibited during normal flight. After a fault or aborted start, wait 30 seconds after APU has stopped before attempting another start. After 2 consecutive start attempts, wait 20 minutes before a third start attempt. No more than three start attempts are permitted in one hour.

Question 6

APU OPERATING LIMITS - CAUTION 2 (XMSN Temp)

Answer 6

CAUTION: Do not operate the APU for more than 5 minutes at a XMSN TEMP 1 or 2 of 120 - 130º C. Shut down APU to prevent damaging accessory gearbox components.

Question 7

Maximum Airspeed for Searchlight Extension

Answer 7

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 V_NE.

Question 8

LIMITS - TORQUE (%) - Single Engine

Answer 8

Question 9

Landing Limits

Answer 9

Do not complete a landing on terrain which produces a pitch attitude change from a hover greater than 7º nose up or 12º nose down; or a roll attitude greater than 10º. Data is not available beyond these limits at gross weights above 17,650.

Question 10

Question 13

Airspeed Limits For Autorotation

Answer 13

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

Maximum Airspeed for Stores Jettison

Answer 22

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

1. Maximum airspeed for stores jettison is 130 KTAS
2. Hover to 45 KTAS (minimize side slip, if possible)
3. 45 - 130 KTAS (ball centered, if possible)

Question 28

Engine Starts At Ambient Temperatures of 61º F (16º C) and Below

Answer 28

Two consecutive start cycles may be made, followed by a 3 minute rest period, followed by two additional consecutive start cycles. A 30 minute rest period is then required before any additional starts.

Question 29

Engine Starts At Ambient Temperatures Above 61º F (16º C)

Answer 29

Two consecutive start cycles may be made. A 30 minute rest period is then required before any additional starts.

Question 30

Question 33

Engine Starter Limitations

Answer 33

The Air Turbine Starter (ATS) is capable of making the number of consecutive start cycles listed below, when exposed to the environmental conditions specified, with an interval of at least 60 seconds between the completion of one cycle and the beginning of the next cycle.

A starting cycle is the interval from start initiation and acceleration of the output drive shaft, from zero rpm, to starter dropout. The 60 second delay between start attempts applies when the first attempt is aborted for any reason and it applies regardless of the duration of the first attempt. If motoring is required for an emergency, the 60 second delay does not apply.

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

Question 35

Maximum Airspeed During Manual Stabilator Operations

Answer 35

Maximum airspeeds are based on stabilator position. The stabilator position and nominal airspeed restrictions are displayed on the FLT, FLT SET, and SYS pages, as described in Paragraph 2-46d.

Question 36

Answer 36

Intentional flight into moderate icing conditions is 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).

Question 37

Extended APU Ground Operations

Answer 37

During prolonged ground operations greater than 30 minutes observe XMSN TEMP 1 and XMSN TEMP 2 on the **SYS **page. If the temperatures exceed 130º C, 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.
