16
Q

What are the notes regarding oil temperature limits?

A

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

Prolonged hovering in hot weather, 30°C (86°F) , may cause transmission oil temp to raise 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 maintenance is required

17
Q

What are the notes regarding oil Pressure limits?

A

Following conditions do not constitute an emergency situation, but may be indicative of a degraded lubrication system. Any discrepancy SHALL be documented on a MAF.

  1. Steady press outside 45-60psi, but within normal limits of 30-65psi
  2. Fluctuations not to exceed a range of 10psi, within the normal limits 30-65psi

During transient pitch or steady-state nose-high pitch attitudes (autos, downwind hovering, rearward flight, slope-up landings, etc) xmsn oil press fluctuations (including momentary fluctuations below 30psi and transient drops below 20psi for up to one sec) are acceptable. Operating with press fluctuations below 30psi shall be limited to 30 min

18
Q

Engine Oil Temp (ENG OIL T)

A

-50°-135°C - Continuous

135°-150°C - 30 min

NOTE

Normal idle range is 22-55psi
