In-flight uses of APU
The APU is not intended for routine in-flight use. Operation of the APU in flight shall be limited to essential operations only. Acceptable in-flight use includes:
1. EPs
2. Single engine training
3. practice autos
4. powering ECS during extreme temp ops
Exceeding Op’ing limits
-Anytime an operational limit is exceeded, an appropriate entry shall be made on a Maintenance Action Form (MAF). The entry shall state what limits were exceeded and include range, duration, and any additional data that would aid maintenance personnel.
-The flight display’s digital readout will display “XXX” in red when a TGT or torque limit is exceeded.
-If a limit is exceeded to the extent that a red “XXX” is indicated, the crew shall land as soon as practicable.
Engine Start Limitations
- The single- and dual-engine start envelopes are presented in Figure 4-3. For crossbleed starts, the receiving engine shall be at or above 24 percent Ng prior to advancing PCL to IDLE.
- Engine start with the main rotor blades or tail rotor pylon folded is prohibited.
- The start TGT limit is 851 °C until idle speed is attained.

Engine operation prohibited with…
Engine operation with gust lock engaged is prohibited.
XMSN limited by
- Nr
- Torque
- Oil px
- Oil T
Operation is governed by whichever limit is reached first.
N - Engine torques over 150% are displayed as red “XXX.”
XMSN Oil Pressure Operating Limits
During steady-state level pitch attitudes (i.e., level flight), the transmission oil pressure should be 45 to 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 Maintenance Action Form (MAF).
- Steady pressure outside of 45 to 60 psi, but within the normal limits of 30 to 65 psi.
- Fluctuations not to exceed a range of 10 psi, within the normal limits of 30 to 65 psi.
-During transient pitch or steady-state nose-high pitch attitudes (autorotations, downwind hovering, rearward flight, slope-up landings, etc.) transmission oil pressure fluctuations (including momentary fluctuations below 30 psi and transient drops below 20 psi for up to one second) are acceptable. Operating with pressure fluctuations below 30 psi shall be limited to 30 minutes.
-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 Maintenance Action Form (MAF).
XMSN Oil Temperature Operating Limits
-During any operating condition, no maintenance action is required if main transmission oil temperature is in the precautionary range continuously for 5 minutes or less.
-Prolonged Hovering in hot weather, 86 °F (30 °C), may cause main transmission 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.
