TH-57 Limits Flashcards
What are the Nf power Minimums and Maximums?
How are overspeeds determined?
Minimum Nf is 97%
Max continuous Nf is 100%
Overspeeds are determined on a sliding scale
What is the Nf avoid range?
A 71% to 88% Nf steady state speed avoidance range is required for all operations.
What is considered “steady state” when talking about the Nf avoid range?
Remaining at an Nf speed for more than one second.
When are you allowed to operate in the Nf avoid range?
-During transient operations
-During pretakeoff checks when rotating the twist grip to 70% Ng (Nf should not purposely stabilize in this range)
-During an autorotation when Nf splits away from Nr.
What is the idle engine Ng?
62 +/-2%
What is the normal Ng operating range, and what is the maximum transient Ng allowed?
60% to 105% Normal operating range
106% for 15 seconds Maximum transient
What are the Minimum Engine oil Px limits?
Ng < 79% Min 50psi
79% 94% Min 90 psi
Ng > 94% Min 115 psi
What is the Maximum oil pressure and what is the exception?
Max 130 Psi
Allowed up to 150 psi immediately after a cold start
What is the engine oil temperature range?
0 to 107 deg C
What are your rotor engage, disengage limits?
40 Kts Max from the front
25 kts Max from either side
17 Kts Max from the rear
What is the Start ToT Limits?
up to 810 deg C No limit
810-927 deg C 10 seconds
927 deg C Max
What are your powered on ToT Limits?
up to 738 deg C No limit
738-810 deg C 5 minutes
810-843 deg C 6 seconds
843 deg C Max
What is the minimum fuel reserve for the TH-57?
10 Gallons
What is the Nr power on and power off Limits?
Power on: Min 97% Max 100%
Power off: normal operating range is 90-107%
What is the Nr avoid range?
Continuous operation in the 50-60% range could cause isolation mount damage.
What are the continuous Transmission oil pressure limits? What is the Min and Max?
Continuous operation between 30 psi and 50 psi.
Minimum pressure is 30 psi, Maximum pressure is 70 psi.
What’s required if Transmission oil pressure is between 50 and 70 psi? What could happen when operating in this range?
It SHALL be documented on a MAF after flight. There is no detrimental affect to the transmission when operating between 50 and 70 psi.
What are the Transmission oil Temperature limits?
15 to 110 deg C
