22
Q

Transmission Oil Temp Limits (paragraph 1)

A

During any operating condition, no maintenance action is required if transmission oil temp is in the precautionary range continuously for 5 min or less.

23
Q

Transmission Oil Temp Limits (paragraph 2)

A

Prolonged hovering in hot weather, 86°F (30°C), may cause transmission oil temp to rise into the precautionary range. Operation in the precautionary range for less than 30 min during any one flight under this condition is acceptable and no mx action is required.

24
Q

Transmission Oil Pressure Limits (paragraph 1)

A

During steady-state level pitch attitudes (i.e., level flight) the transmission 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.
1. Steady px outside of 45-60 psi, but within the normal limits of 30-65 psi.
2. Fluctuations not to exceed 10 psi, within the normal limits of 30-65 psi.

25
Q

Transmission Oil Pressure Limits (paragraph 2)

A

During transient pitch or steady-state nose-high pitch attitudes (i.e., 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 min.

26
Q

Transmission Oil Pressure Limits (paragraph 3)

A

During rotor engagement, a zero oil px 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.

27
Q

Rotor Engagement/Disengagement Limits

A

Maximum wind velocity for rotor engagement/disengagement is 45 knots from any direction.

30
Q

External Load Limits

A

Max AOB (40-90 KIAS)- 20°

31
Q

Hovering Limits

A
  1. Prolonged rearward flight and downwind hovering should be avoided to prevent accumulation of exhaust fumes in the helicopter and heat damage to the window on an open cabin door.
  2. Hovering turns at a rate in excess of 30°/sec.
  3. Dipping sonar operations at altitudes other than 70 feet.
    NOTE: Deviation of aircraft hover altitude from 70’ while TA is entering or entering the water may result in damage to the dipping sonar equipment due to ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE.
  4. Do not tow the transducer in the water above 8 KGS with array folded and 4 KGS with array unfolded.
    CAUTION: Exceeding 8 KGS with array folded or 4 KGS with array unfolded may cause TA cable separation.
