Limits Flashcards
If a limit is exceeded to the extent that a red “XXX” is indicated the crew shall __________________.
Land as soon as practicable
The engines are limited by what five things?
Ng, Np, TGT, oil pressure, and oil temperature
A start cycle is defined as what?
Starter initiation, acceleration in Ng, and starter dropout/disengagement.
Operation of the APU shall be limited to essential operations only. Acceptable in-flight use includes:
- Emergency procedures
- Single-engine training
- Practice autorotations
- Powering the ECS during extreme temperature operations.

105-117% — 20 sec.
117-120% — 12 sec.
120% — MAX
CAUTION: (Np) During engagement, extended operation in the ___ to ___ and ____ to ____ ranges may cause engine damage.
20-40% and 60-75%
Nr Limit
<96% — AVOID
96-101% — Continuous
101-120% — Precautionary
120% — MAX

135-144% — 10 sec.
144% — MAX
Ng Limit
0-102.2% — Continuous

107% — MAX
Transmission Temperature Limit
-50-105C — Continuous
105-120C — Precautionary
120C — MAX
During any operating condition, no maintenance action is required if main XMSN oil temperature is in the precautionary range for 5 minutes or less.
Prolonged hovering in hot weather 86F (30C) may cause main XMSN oil temperature to rise into the precautionary range. Operation in the precautionary range for less than 30 minutes during any one flight under this condition is acceptable and no maintenance action is required.
Transmission Px Limit
20 psi — Minimum
20-30 psi — Idle and transient
30-65 psi (45-60 psi in level flight) — Continuous
65-130 psi — Precautionary
130 psi — MAX
During rotor engagement, a zero oil pressure indication may indicate a no-oil flow condition through the oil lubrication system. Operating with a no oil pressure indication shall be limited to less than 1 minute and shall be documented on a MAF.
During steady state pitch attitudes, XMSN oil pressure should be 45-60 psi. The following conditions do not constitute an immediate emergency situation, but may be indicative of a degraded lubrication system. Any discrepancy shall be documented on a MAF.
- Steady px outside of 45-60 psi, but within normal limits of 30-65 psi.
- Fluctuations not to exceed a range of 10 psi, within normal limits of 30-65 psi.
During transient pitch or steady-state nose high attitudes, XMSN oil pressure fluctuations (including momentary fluctuations below 30 psi and transient drops below 20 psi for up to 1 second) are acceptable. Operating with pressure fluctuations < 30 psi shall be limited to 30 minutes.
Engine Oil Temperature Limit
-50 to 135 C — Continuous
135-150 C — 30 minutes
150 C — MAX
Engine Oil Px Limit
22 psi — Minimum
22-26 psi — Precautionary
26-100 psi — Continuous
100-120 psi — Precautionary
120 psi — MAX
