ORGANIZATION ORGANIZATION OF THE MANUAL
1.
GENERAL To achieve the required degree of safety, this manual must be used in conjunction with the relevant regulations covering aircraft operation, such as aerial navigation laws in the operators country. It is essential for the crew to become familiar with the contents of this manual, special certification requirements and any information specific to customized configurations, and to check all revisions and related requirements.
2.
PAGE NUMBERING The numbering of pages within each section consists of the section number or designation, a dash and the consecutive number of the page beginning with “1”; e.g. for Section 3: 3-1, 3-2, etc. Figures are likewise numbered consecutively by section, such as Fig. 3-1, Fig. 3-2, etc.
Exceptions: –
The nu numbe berring of of th the Table of Contents pages preceding each section in this manual consists of the section number, a dash and the consecutive Roman numeral (lower case) of the page, beginning with ”i”; e.g. for Section 3: 3-i, 3-ii, etc.
–
The pa page num numb bers of of the the Flight Manual Supplements and Appendices consist of the section number, a dash, the number of the Supplement/Appendix, a dash and the consecutive number of the page; e.g. for FMS 9.1-17: 9.1-17–1, 9.1-17–2, etc.
–
Figures Figures withi within n a Flight Flight Manual Manual Suppl Suppleme ement nt and Appen Appendix dix are are numbered numbered consec consecuutively, such as Fig. 1, Fig. 2, etc.
The numbers of blank reversed pages are printed on the preceding page by using dual page numbering; e.g. 3-9/(3-10 blank). If, at a later date, pages have to be added to the initial printing, the new pages may carry the number of the preceding page plus a letter suffix; e.g. 2-6A, 2-6B, etc. 2.1
Flight Manual Supplements (FMS) Each FMS is self-contained and corresponds in its general arrangement to the basic Flight Manual, but only additional information or different data will be the subject of an FMS. Each FMS, although complete in nature, shall therefore be used in conjunction with the basic Flight Manual. A Log of Supplements is provided for each applicable subsection as an index listing the current supplements. The manufacturer retains the right to convert optional equipment to standard equipment at any time as a product improvement program. FLM coverage of the converted optional equipment, however, will remain as an FMS in Section 9 and also as an optional equipment item entry in the Equipment List. An entry in the STD EQPT EFFECTIVITY column of the Log of Supplements is used to indicate the converted optional equipment by providing an effectivity statement of the affected helicopters.

FMS’s of non-installed optional equipment and FMS’s of non-intentioned special operations, need not to be carried in the helicopter. These FMS’s can be filed in the binder “EXTRANEOUS FLIGHT MANUAL SUPPLEMENTS”. 2.2
Flight Manual Appendices (FMA) Each FMA is self-contained and corresponds in its general arrangement to the basic Flight Manual, but only additional information or different data will be the subject of a FMA. Each FMA, although althou gh complete in nature, shall therefore be used in conjunction with the approved Flight Manual. When two or more Appendices are issued, a Log of Appendices will be provided as an index listing the current Appendices.

EFFECTIVITY STATEMENTS
3.1
Definition of Effectivity identification The contents of this Manual applies to all the EC 135 helicopter model variants listed on the title page and defined in this Section. However, certain portions of the manual may apply to only specific models, variants, serial numbered helicopters, etc... Therefore, an effectivity identification system is used to indicate where differences brought about by helicopter modifications, Service Bulletins, customer options, variations of the basic model helicopter, etc. occur within the manual. This system comprises effectivity statements, identified by the word EFFECTIVITY followed by the definition of applicability. The applicability may be defined using: –
a spec specif ifie ied d mode modell or vari varian antt type type,,
–
an eigh eightt-di digi gitt nume numeri ric c indi indica cato torr,
–
a Servi Service ce Bull Bulleti etin n (SB) (SB) modi modific ficati ation on numb number er,, and/or and/or
–
a cl clear ear tex textt def defiiniti nition on..
The eight-digit numeric indicator begins with the four digits of the lowest assigned manufacturer’s serial number, to indicate first effectivity, and ends with the four digits of the highest assigned manufacturer’s serial number, to indicate last effectivity, of an unbroken sequence of assigned serial numbered helicopters. A hyphen is shown between the two numbers. Open ended effectivity is indicated by “9999” in the last effectivity, e.g. 0415-9999 indicates helicopter serial number S-415 and subsequent. An SB effectivity is indicated as either “Before SB...” or “After SB...” meaning respectively before and after incorporation of the specific numbered Service Bulletin on the helicopter. 3.2
Method of indicating Effectivity The amount of manual coverage required by the differences brought about by model, variants or modification differences (effectivity) varies from small or minor (portions of text) to extensive (entire pages). Therefore, the effectivity statements may apply to portions of a page or an entire page. Effectivity statements applying to portions of a page immediately precede and are located in the extreme left hand margin directly above the text to which they relate. When
OOM - 2
EASA APPROVED Rev. 0
FLIGHT MANUAL EC 135 T2+ Organization of the Manual
the defined applicability ends, an effectivity statement defined as “ALL” is used to mean that the information following applies again to all models, variants, etc. as listed on the FLM title page or, when applicable, as defined by the page effectivity statement. Effectivity statements applying to the entire page content will be located at the bottom of the page adjacent to the page number. Pages that are applicable for the basic series helicopter therefore, will not have an effectivity statement at the bottom of the page. 3.3
Incorporating pages having entire page Effectivity statements Compare the effectivity statements of those pages having identical page numbers and determine which page(s) applies to your helicopter (front and backpage, if necessary). Insert that page(s) in the FLM binder. Discard the page(s) which does not apply.
NOTE
4.
Do not discard pages having a page effectivity statement “After SB......” that at present may not apply to the helicopter unless however, it is absolutely certain that the stated Service Bulletin will never be incorporated.
REVISION SERVICE This manual is kept up-to-date by revisions and temporary revisions.
4.1
Revisions Revisions are issued periodically. They are printed on white paper and are incorporated into the Manual in accordance with a “Change Instructions” sheet which need not be inserted in the Manual. Revisions are numbered consecutively beginning with the No. 1.
4.2
Temporary Revisions Temporary revisions are provided to transmit information between revisions. They are printed on yellow paper and are accompanied by a “Change Instructions” sheet and an updated “List of Effective Temporary Revisions” page. Temporary revisions are numbered consecutively beginning with the No. 1; e.g. Temp. Rev. 1, Temp. Rev. 2, etc...
4.3
Revisions of Supplements Revisions of Supplements are issued as required. They are independent from revisions of the Basic Manual. Revisions of Supplements are numbered consecutively beginning with the No. 1 (The original is Rev. 0). They are printed on white paper and are incorporated into the Manual in accordance with a “Change Instructions” sheet which need not to be inserted in the Manual.
4.4

A vertical line next to changed text and callouts on illustrations may be used in lieu of a pointing hand. Shading and screening are used for diagrams and schematics to highlight the area containing the changed information. Extensively changed presentations may be indicated by a screen border around the affected area.
4.5
Procedure for minor changes in the Flight Manual In the event of minor errors (typing error, misprints) or minor changes, EUROCOPTER is authorized autho rized by EASA to release release a revision which needs not to be certified by the authorities. In this case the procedures for a normal revision apply, except of the revision number mentioned on the LEP and on the bottom of each page which follows the rules stated below: Example: Supplement 9.2–24, last revision was Rev. 4, afterwards on page 4 a typing error was found and has ha s been corrected. The revision revision for the minor minor change is numbered numbered with the next subsequent revision number (here 4.1), which has to be mentioned on the respective page and on the LEP. LEP. The next “normal” revision, approved by EASA (with a corresponding approval number), will be Rev. 5. Page

1.3
GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE HELICOPTER The EC 135 is a light twin-engined multi-purpose helicopter with five seats in the basic version and optional seat arrangements for up to eight persons. The pilot’s seat is on the RH side.
Engines: The EC 135 T2+ T2+ is powered powered by two two Turbomeca ARRIUS 2B2 engines with digital engine control (FADEC) system. The twin-engine reliability is enhanced by a fully-separated fuel system, a dual hydraulic system, a dual electrical system and a redundant lubrication system for the main transmission. Transmission: The main transmission is a two-stage flat design gearbox, with anti-resonance rotor isolation isolation system (ARIS). Main rotor: The helicopter is equipped with a four-bladed bearingless main rotor (BMR). The inboard flexbeam enables movement of the blades in all axes. Blade pitch angles are controlled through integrated glass/carbon fibre control cuffs. The main rotor control linkage system is of conventional design. The hydraulic system for the main rotor controls is designed as a duplex system with tandem piston (both systems are active). In case of a failure of one system, the remaining system has sufficient power to ensure safe flight operation and a safe landing. Antitorque system: The helicopter is equipped with a “Fenestron-type” antitorque system, having a tail rotor with 10 blades. The Fenestron is controlled via a “Flexball” type cable, routed from the pedals to the input control lever of the Fenestron. Fuselage: The primary structure consists mainly of sheet metal design. Cabin frame, bottom shell, doors, engine cowling and nose access panel are made of composite material. The cabin is accessible through six doors: two hinged doors for the front occupants, two sliding doors for the rear passengers, and two aft clamshell doors for the rear compartment. Tail boom: The tail boom can be separated from the fuselage, and consists of the horizontal tail plane with end-plates, vertical fin with integrated tail rotor, tail rotor gearbox and fairing. Fuel tanks: The fuel system comprises two fuel tanks, a fuel supply system, a refueling and grounding equipment and a monitoring system. The main tank and supply tank with overflow to the main tank and sufficient separated quantity for 20 minutes flight in OEI condition are installed under the cabin floor. Electrical system: The fully redundant electrical 28 V DC system is supplied by two generators and the battery. Landing gear: The EC 135 has two cross tubes and two skids.

Digi Digita tall data data disp displa lay y
A value that is within the normal operating range is displayed as shown in Fig. Fig . 2-8 a). A solid white rectangle associated with a parameter indicates the parameter shown by the needle (Fig. (Fig. 2-8 b). If AEO operation in the yellow range (above MCP) or if OEI operation in the 2.0 min. power band is detected, the digital data is yellow underlined (Fig. (Fig. 2-8 c). If AEO operation above TOP or if OEI operation above the 2.0 min. power band is detected, the digital data is red underlined and the line is flashing. For the 5 min. limit the counter is invisible. For the OEI 30 sec./2.0 min. power limit the counter is visible in conjunction with the topping symbol and the OEI HI or OEI LO indication, as shown in fig. fig. 2-7. The total time above OEI MCP is limited to 2 min. 30 sec.. Five seconds before the counter reaches zero a flashing red box appears around the word “LIMIT”. When the countdown has expired, the red box is fixed. When the OEI 30 sec. power limitation has been exceeded, the timer and the OEI HI display disappear and a fixed red limit box appears.
NOTE
D
If the helicopter is operated in the 30 sec./ 2.0 min. power band and the flashing red box appears, immediately reduce power in order to go to the next lower power band.
If one of the parameters is invalid, a yellow failure symbology replaces the information concerning the faulty parameter. For further FLI information refer to FLM sec.7.

SECTION 3 EMERGENCY AND MALFUNCTION PROCEDURES
3.1
GENERAL This section contains the recommended procedures for managing various types of emergencies, malfunctions and critical situations.
WARNING
AFTER AN ACTUAL EMERGENCY OR MALFUNCTION MAKE AN ENTRY IN THE HELICOPTER LOGBOOK AND, WHEN NECESSARY, THE AFFECTED SYSTEM LOGBOOK (E.G. ENGINE LOGBOOK). MAINTENANCE ACTION MAY BE REQUIRED AND NECESSARY BEFORE NEXT FLIGHT.
For definitions of terms, abbreviations and symbols used in this Section, refer to Section 1. 3.1.1
Basic rules These procedures deal with common emergencies. However, they do not prevent the pilot from taking additional action necessary to recover the emergency situation. Although the procedures contained in this Section are considered the best available, the pilot’s sound judgement is of paramount importance when confronted with an emergency. To assist the pilot during an inflight emergency, three basic rules have been established: 1. Mainta Maintain in aircra aircraft ft control control 2. An Anal alys yse e the sit situa uati tion on 3. Take ake prope properr acti action on
NOTE
3.1.2
It is impossible to establish a predetermined set of instructions which would provide a ready-made decision applicable to all situations.
Memory items Emergency procedure steps which shall be performed immediately without reference to either this Manual or the pilot’s checklist are written in boldface letters on a gray background (as shown here) and shall be committed to memory. Therefore, those emergency procedures appearing without boldface letters on a gray background may be accomplished referring to this Manual, and when time and situation permit.

Operating condition The following terms are used in emergency procedures to describe the operating condition of a system, subsystem, assembly or component:
3.1.4
Affected
Fails to operate in the normal or usual manner
Normal
Operates in the normal or usual manner
Urgency of landing NOTE
The type of emergency and the emergency conditions combined with the pilot’s analysis of the condition of the helicopter and his proficiency are of prime importance in determining the urgency of a landing.
The following terms are used to reflect the degree of urgency of an emergency landing:
LAND IMMEDIATELY IMMEDIATELY The urgency of landing is paramount. Primary consideration is to assure survival of the occupants. Landing in water, trees or other unsafe areas should be considered only as a last resort.
LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE Land without delay at the nearest adequate site (i.e. open field) at which a safe approach and landing can be made.
LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE The landing site and duration of flight are at the discretion of the pilot. Extended flight beyond the nearest approved landing area where appropriate assistance can be expected is not recommended. 3.1.5
Definition of terms The term
“OEI flight condition condition ....– Establish” is used as a leading step in some engine emergency procedures to express the following: 1. In case that power of affected engine tends to zero: –

engine torques is lower than the OEI torque limit. If this is fulfilled, re-check OEI power available by setting the affected engine to IDLE while maintaining the normal engine within appropriate OEI limit. D If engine power is sufficient for OEI flight and if a safe OEI landing can be
assumed, continue with the remaining steps of the relevant procedure. D If engine power is not sufficient for OEI flight or if a safe OEI landing is not
assured, LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. If necessary, re-establish power of affected engine before landing. After landing perform single engine emergency shutdown of affected engine.

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS Emergency situations will be indicated either by a red warning light on the WARNING PANEL coming on together with a gong signal, or a caution indication on the CAD and a yellow master caution light on the instrument panel. A red warning light indicates a hazard which may require immediate corrective action. A yellow caution indicates the possible need for future corrective action. The cautions, indicated at the CAD, are divided into three sections, SYSTEM I, MISC and SYSTEM II. SYSTEM I indicates the operating conditions of the left power plant or the system 1 of a redundant system. SYSTEM II provides the same features for the right power plant or the system 2 of a redundant system. MISC indicates the operating conditions of the non-redundant systems. The yellow master caution light in the pilot’s field of view leads the pilot’s attention to the indication(s) on the CAD whenever a caution has been activated there. Each caution (CAD-indication and master caution light) must be acknowledged by the pilot (copilot) by pushing the CDS/AUDIO RES button on the cyclic stick grip or the SELECT key on the CAD. Acknowledged cautions are indicated in sequence of arrival. In case of lack of space on the screen, further confirmed cautions will be stored on additional pages, which will be indicated by the “1 of 2” message on top of the middle column. They can be called up via the SCROLL key. Any new unconfirmed caution overlies the previous caution and is bordered by two flashing lines to draw the pilot’s attention to the new caution. It is always possible that a warning light or caution indication will come on unnecessarily. Whenever possible, check the light or indication against its associated instrument to verify that an emergency condition has actually occurred. Following is an alphabetical listing of the warning light indications (WARNING PANEL) and caution indications (CAD) with the relevant conditions, any further indications and the emergency procedures.

SECTION 4 NORMAL PROCEDURES
4.1
GENERAL This Section contains instructions and recommended procedures which are peculiar to the operation of this helicopter. For definition of terms, abbreviations and symbols used in this Section refer to Section 1.
NOTE D For para. 4.3.2 “Exterior Check” and para. 4.3.3 “Interior Check” observe: – All steps/checks which are mandatory before each flight are marked with an asterisk (L). – All other steps/checks in these two paras have only to be performed before the first flight of the day. D From para. 4.3.4 to para. 4.10 all steps/checks are mandatory.
4.2
PREPARATION FOR FLIGHT
EFFECTIVITY
NOTE
Helicopters equipped with dual controls Before helicopter operation with a passenger on copilot’s seat, cyclic stick and collective pitch lever on copilot’s side should be removed, copilot’s pedals ad justed to the most forward position and the dual control covers (see FMS 9.2-3) 9 .2-3) installed. If the covers are not available, cyclic and collective levers shall remain installed. However, in this case, the passenger must be briefed properly before starting engines not to interfere with any pilot’s control operation.
EFFECTIVITY
4.2.1
All
Flight Planning Refer to Sections 5 to determine required fuel, airspeeds and power settings for takeoff, climb, cruise, hovering and landing data necessary to accomplish the mission.
4.2.2
Mass and Balance The takeoff and anticipated landing gross mass and balance should be obtained before takeoff and checked against mass and load limits and center center of gravity restrictions (see Section 2).

FLIGHT MANUAL EC 135 T2+ Normal Procedures
4.3
PREFLIGHT CHECK
4.3.1
General The preflight check shall be accomplished in accordance with the Flight Manual. The preflight check is not a detailed mechanical inspection, but essentially a visual check of the helicopter for correct condition. When unusual local conditions dictate, the extent and/or frequency of this check shall be increased as necessary to promote safe operation.
NOTE D The following list contains only check items for the standard configuration. D In addition to these items, check antennas and all installed optional equip-
ment. D Make certain that all relevant intermediate and special inspections in accor-
dance with the Maintenance Manual have been complied with. D For optional equipment check items, refer to the respective Flight Manual
Supplement or Maintenance Manual.
4.3.2
Exterior Check The exterior check is laid out as a walk-around check, starting forward right at the pilot’s door, proceeding clockwise to the tail boom, to the left hand side (including the upper and lower areas of the helicopter) and is completed at the helicopter nose area.
NOTE D The helicopter shall be headed into the wind. D The area around the helicopter should be clear of all foreign objects. D To avoid excessive drain on the helicopter battery, particularly during cold
weather, all ground operations should be conducted using an external power unit (EPU). D When the battery is used, the operation of electrical equipment should be kept
to a minimum.

5.1.3.3 Inflight power check An inflight power check is established in addition to the ground power check. This inflight power check will mainly be used to establish a power check trend monitoring, i.e. on a daily basis. It is no alternative to the ground power check when a power check is required before flight by operational rules. Additionally an “Inflight Engine Power Check” page (EPC page) is implemented. This feature is a digital support when performing the “Inflight Engine Power Check”. It shows all the information necessary to perform the check. After successful completion the EPC data are directly displayed on this page. Complete data from the last performed EPC since CPDS power on or H/C take-off are displayed on the “Inflight Power Check Result Page”. For further details refer to sec. 7 para. 7.10.

5.1.3.4 Power trend monitoring A power trend monitoring should be established to observe the deterioration of the engines with time in service as well as potential engine malfunctions. Although the results from both the ground or inflight power checks can be used, it is recommended to use either always ground or always inflight power check results for establishing the power trend chart.
NOTE
The power check preconditions and the power check procedure have to be followed very accurately, otherwise the trend monitoring will not be reliable.
To establish a power trend chart, the N1 margin (defined as chart limit N 1 minus indicated N1) shall be recorded versus time in service. For each engine an average trend line shall be drawn based on the most recent five data points of operation.

SECTION 6 MASS AND BALANCE
6.1
GENERAL This section provides information required for helicopter loading and computing mass and balance. It shall be the pilot’s responsibility to make certain that:
6.1.1
–
the helico helicopter pter is is proper properly ly loaded loaded so so that the the entire entire flig flight ht is conduc conducted ted withi within n the Center of Gravity Limits.
–
all cargo cargo is is stowed stowed and and tied down down proper properly ly so that that in-fli in-flight ght shifti shifting ng is impos impossib sible le
–
proper proper tie-down tie-down equip equipmen mentt (i.e. (i.e. ropes, ropes, belts, belts, etc.) etc.) of suff sufficien icientt strength strength has has to be used. As many tie-down fittings as possible have to be used per single cargo item in order to reduce the individual load per fitting and to avoid inadvertent inflight shifting.
Mass definitions Basic empty mass The basic empty mass consists of the basic helicopter with required standard equipment, optional equipment, unusable fuel, and full operating fluids including transmission, gearbox and engine oils, hydraulic fluid, rotor brake oil.
Gross mass The gross mass is the sum of the basic empty mass and the pilot/crew, the passengers, the baggage/cargo and the fuel. This value will vary with mission. 6.1.2
Balance definitions Locations on and within the helicopter can be determined in relation to fuselage stations, buttock lines and waterlines, measured in millimeters (mm) from known reference points (Fig. (Fig. 6-1). Fuselage stations, buttock lines, and waterlines are planes perpendicular to each other. Reference plane is the plane at the longitudinal centerline of the helicopter perpendicular to the cabin floor.
Fuselage stations (F.S. or STA.) Fuselage stations are vertical planes perpendicular to, and measured along, the longitudinal axis of the helicopter. Station 0 is an imaginary vertical plane forward of the nose of the helicopter, from which all horizontal distances are measured for balance purposes (see also ”reference datum”). MANUFACTURER’S DATA Rev. 0
6-1
FLIGHT MANUAL EC 135 T2+ Mass and Balance
Buttock lines (B.L.) Buttock lines are vertical planes perpendicular to, and measured to the left and right along the lateral axis of the helicopter. Buttock line (0) is the plane at the longitudinal centerline of the helicopter.
Waterline (W.L.) Waterlines are horizontal planes perpendicular to, and measured along, the vertical axis of the helicopter. Waterline (0) is a plane below the lowest point on the fuselage of the helicopter.
Reference datum (RD) The reference datum (RD) is the station 0. It is located 2160 mm (85 in) in front of the Leveling Point (LP) (see Fig. Fig. 6-1).
Arm The arm, for longitudinal balance purposes, is the horizontal distance from the reference datum to the center of gravity of a given item. For other purposes, Fuselage Stations (F.S. or STA) may be used. For the EC 135 helicopter arm and fuselage station are the same.
Moment (Massmoment) (Massmoment) The moment is the mass of an item muliplied by its arm. Moment (kgmm)
= Mass (kg)
Arm (mm)
Center of Gravity (CG) Center of gravity is the point about which the helicopter would balance if suspended. Distance from the RD is found by dividing the total moment by the gross mass of the helicopter. Arm (mm) =
Sum of all moments (kgmm) Sum of all masses (kg)
CG Limits CG limits are the extremes of movements to which the helicopter CG can travel. The CG of the loaded helicopter must remain within these limits at takeoff, throughout flight, and at landing.

BASIC EMPTY MASS CENTER OF GRAVITY The procedure for establishing mass and moment (relative to the reference datum) of the empty helicopter is described in the EC 135 Maintenance Manual (MM). The MASS AND BALANCE RECORD (Form MBR-1) appended to this Section is used to maintain a continuous history of changes to the basic ’’as delivered” helicopter mass and balance data.
6.2.1
Mass and balance record The basic empty mass (BEM) and center of gravity (CG) location are determined through actual weighing carried out by the helicopter manufacturer. This data is then entered on the first line of the MASS AND BALANCE RECORD, Form MBR-1 which then becomes a permanent part of the Flight Manual. The MASS AND BALANCE RECORD must be updated (normally by transcribing the applicable information from the EQUIPMENT LIST) when necessary as follows: –
When add When additi itiona onall equipmen equipmentt is insta installe lled d on the heli helicop copter ter necessi necessitat tating ing a chang change e in the basic empty mass (as per definition), add the new entry or entries to the previous totals of basic empty mass and moment then compute the new basic empty mass, moment and CG Iocation (arm).
–
Likewi Likewise, se, when equip equipmen mentt is remove removed d from the the helicop helicopter ter,, subtract subtract the new new entry entry or or entries from the previous totals of basic empty mass and moment then compute the new basic empty mass, moment and CG location (arm).
At all times, the last mass and moment entries are considered the current basic empty mass and balance status of the helicopter. 6.2.2
Equipment list An EQUIPMENT LIST, Form EL-1 is appended to this Section and contains optional equipment of the particular helicopter when delivered. Each item on the list is provided with a number and description for identification, together with its mass, arm and moment. Those items of equipment that were installed when the particular helicopter was initially weighed are so indicated by a check (4) mark in the ,,Initial Weighing” column. Therefore the mass, arm and moment of these items are included in the basic empty mass (BEM) data found on the MASS AND BALANCE RECORD, Form MBR.

YAW SAS The yaw stability augmentation system (Yaw SAS) introduces limited authority control inputs into the tail rotor control. The Yaw SAS, automatically activated during the start procedures, operates in series with the command inputs of the pilot on the non-boosted section ot the tail rotor control. It operates by converting electrical signals from the yaw rate sensor (fibre optical gyro) into control inputs for the tail rotor via the yaw actuator and the yaw hydraulic. In case of power supply cut-off or a failure/malfunction of the fibre optical gyro or the yaw actuator a YAW SAS caution will be displayed on the CAD. In this case the pilot should disengage the Yaw SAS by pressing the SAS DCPL switch.

The 2-way switch allows either increasing the power of engine 1 (L+) and simultaneously decreasing the power of engine 2 (R–) or vice versa. For training purposes or in case of a FADEC failure a direct manual engine control is provided via two twist grips (see Fig. 7-10 and Fig. 7-11) at the collective pitch. The front grip controls engine 1, the aft one controls engine 2. To change from normal to manual mode the ENG MODE SEL switch has to be set from NORM to MAN position. ENG MANUAL caution appears on the CAD.

Now the pilot is able to control the engine by twisting the respective grip from the neutral position N towards MIN or MAX direction as required (see para. 7.3.3.1). As soon as the twist grip is turned out of the N position the TWIST GRIP caution comes on at the CAD. To change from manual mode back to normal mode the ENG MODE SEL switch has to be set from MAN to NORM position. The ENG MANUAL caution disappears. To regain the default constellation, set twist grip(s) to neutral (N) position. TWIST GRIP caution disappears.

Therefore a topping selection switch, located on the collective pitch panel, has been installed to allow the activation of the respective 30 seconds/ 2 minutes power limitations. In case of an engine failure, the 30 sec. limitations will be active (default). When the pilot does not need the 30 sec. power anymore, he is able to select the 2 min. limitations by pushing the topping switch. If required, the pilot may select the 30 sec. limitations again, by means of the topping switch. If all parameters (torque, TOT, N1) are below their MCP limiting values, the 30 sec. limitations are reset automatically. 7.4.3.7 7.4. 3.7 Eng Engine ine over overspe speed ed protec protectio tion n system system Each engine is monitored by an engine tachometer unit to prevent serious damage to the engine, in case of malfunction, by shut down. If during engine operation the OVSP FAIL caution indication comes on the overspeed protection system of the affected engine has failed and the engine is no longer protected against power turbine overspeed. If during engine operation the OVSP caution indication comes on in conjunction with the ENG FAIL caution indication, the affected engine will be shut down automatically due to an engine overspeed event. In order to prevent both engines being shut down by their overspeed protection system a cross inhibition function deactivates the overspeed protection system of the remaining engine in case of an overspeed event.

HIGH NR MODE This feature is implemented to increase the performance of the H/C for operation with gross mass above 2835 kg and/or CAT CAT A operation. When the HIGH NR mode is manually selected, the High NR mode switches automatically between nominal and high rotorspeed (NRO) according to Fig. Fig. 7-14. The High NR mode is mandatory for: – Flight with gross mass above 2835 kg – Cat A operation
NOTE
Although use of the HIGH NR mode is permitted for all other operations, its use is not recommended.
The pilot has to select the HIGH NR mode prior to takeoff by pushing the HI NR pb. “ON” illuminates on the push button. Additionally the advisory indicator HIGH NR illuminates (see Fig. Fig. 7-17). If the HI NR pb is pushed again the mode is deselected and the HIGH NR advisory goes off. When the HIGH NR mode is selected (HI NR pb shows ON), airspeed information provided by the ADC 2 to the VEMD lane 2 triggers the HIGH NR mode activation as follows:
1 – When the airspeed increases above 55 KIAS, the HIGH NR mode is automatically deactivated, so that NRO decreases to the nominal NRO. The HIGH NR advisory goes off. 2 – When the airspeed reduces below 50 KIAS, the HIGH NR mode is automatically re–activated and NRO increases by up to 3 %. The HIGH NR advisory comes on. NOTE
When the HI NR pb is selected at DA > 9000ft, no NRO /N2 increase/decrease happens, due to the normal NRO variation with density altitude.
In case of selected but not activated HIGH NR mode, the system automatically activates the high NRO, if: – no or invalid data from ADC 2 available – the CAD is switched off or failed – VEMD lower lane is switched off or failed
NOTE
7 - 18
For safety reasons the system also automatically activates the high NRO, even when HIGH NR mode is not selected, in case of CAD electrical power loss.

FUEL SYSTEM (FIG. (FIG. 7-18)
7.6.1
Storage Fuel is stored in underfloor compartments using two bladder type fuel cells comprising a main tank and a supply tank. The supply tank comprises two seperate sections, with different capacities, each supplying one engine. This ensures that the LOW FUEL cautions do not come on simultaneously. From the supply tank, located directly aft of the main tank, fuel is transferred to the engines. The main and the supply tank are interconnected via spill ports and transfer lines. The volume above the spill ports of the main and supply tank is a part of the main tank capacity.

–
Overte Overtempe mperatu rature re swit switches ches locate located d in the the heate heaterr suppl supply y duct duct
Distribution box and pipes are used from the standard ventilation system located under the copilot floor. The bleed air ejector valve assy utilizes dual metering valves driven by a common motor via a linear actuator. The bleed air sources are kept separate throughout the valve and do not mix prior to the venturi. The computer powers the motor to regulate the flow of bleed air via the interconnected valves. The valve position is constantly adjusted by the computer as a function of cabin air temp, as sensed by the cabin temp thermistor and the BLD HTG rheostat setting. The fully open and closed positions are monitored by micro switches. In case that an overheat switch will close the heater valves, the caution HTG OVTEMP on the CAD comes on. The unique feature of the ejector design is that it incorporates dual bleed air ports in a single valve. Cross bleed is eliminated by not allowing the bleed air to mix before the pressure in the venturi nozzle is equal to ambient pressure. The cabin air temperature is controlled by the BLD HTG rheostat located at the overhead panel. When the rheostat is rotated from the OFF position, the heater system is put into operation. The operation is indicated by an advisory message on the CAD. Further rotation of the rheostat will increase heater output until the desired temperature is reached. When the desired setting of the rheostat is reached, the temperature controller will automatically maintain the corresponding temperature. The heater is shut off by moving the BLD HTG rheostat to the OFF position. In case of OEI, both shut off valves are closed. The setting of the heater switch from NORM to EMER will reengage the heating system. The heater receives power from the No.2 DC essential bus via the HTG CONT circuit breaker and from the No.1 DC essential bus via the HTG MOTOR circuit breaker, both located on the overhead panel.
NOTE
Bleed air heating will not work at a cabin temperature of approx. 25°C or above or if “PULL for HEATING/DEFOG” HEATING/DEFOG” knob in center console console is in full down position.

Antiresonance-Rotorisolation Antiresonance-Rotorisolation System (ARIS) The purpose of the antiresonance-rotorisolation-system is to reduce the vibration created by the main rotor and transmitted to the airframe. This is provided by dynamic separation of the rotor and transmission from the airframe structure via 4 single-axle hydromechanic vibration isolators, incorporating metal bellows, pendulum mass and low viscosity fluid. The antiresonance-rotorisolation-system is installed between the main transmission and the airframe.
Vibration isolation: The vibrations generated by the main rotor cause periodic movements of the main transmission relative to the fuselage. This movements press and extract the primary bellow. bellow. In response to the travel of the primary bellow the pressure fluctuation causes the pendulum mass to swing in longer strokes, determined by the volumetric ratio. The system is tuned in such a manner that at the anti-resonance frequency the pressure forces caused by the primary bellow movement, the movement of the pendelum mass and the compression spring forces cancel each other and consequently the vibrations are reduced.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM The hydraulic system consists of two identical but independent pressure supply systems. The pressure supply system 1 is installed on the left forward part, system 2 on the right forward part of the main transmission. The pumps of both systems are driven by the main transmission. They equally supply the actuators of the main rotor control with operating pressure. System 2 also supplies the actuator of the tail rotor control. If one of the pressure supply systems fails, the normal system continues to supply the main rotor actuators and the operating force of the main rotor actuators decrease to half. On system 2 failure the tail rotor control operates without hydraulic boost. In case of low pressure in one hydraulic system the respective caution HYD PRESS comes on. 1 7

the FLIGHT mode
–
the CONFIGURATION mode and
–
the MAINTENANCE mode
7.12.2.1 7.12.2.1 Maintenance Maintenance mode mode The maintenance mode provides information about operating times, system failures, detected overlimits etc. which have been recorded during flight. For determination of appropriate maintenance action these information can be read out after flight. In addition the maintenance mode provides data loading functions, necessary for CPDS configuration (customization). When the “MAINT” mode is activated, the MAINTENANCE MENU page is automatically displayed on the VEMD upper screen. The CAD displays the message “MAINTENANCE MODE”.

If one parameter fails, the digital value disappears and the parameter turns into yellow. FLI DEGR caution appears on the CAD and FLI DEGR appears at the bottom (left or right) of the FLI page. During start mode, if TOT is invalid, the needle disappears and starting of engine is impossible. If the lost parameter was designated as “first limit” before the failure, the first limit status will change automatically to the next limiting parameter on the affected system. Thus, a pointer split may be encountered on the FLI which should not be tried to be matched by engine trimming. In case of loss of torque and nN1 signal of the same system, the parameters turn into yellow and FLI FAIL caution appears on the CAD and at the bottom (left or right) of the FLI page and the needle disappears.. Due to the fact that “normal” N1 is displayed as digital value but nN1 is presented by the pointer if designated as first limit parameter, both parameter, N1 and nN1 are displayed in yellow in case of N1 signal failure. If only nN1 is invalid, nN1 is displayed in yellow above the N1 indication. The message zone indicates messages concerning failures and detected overlimits that are either not visible in the current display status or require action by the crew e.g. to switch off a screen.

SECTION 8 HANDLING, SERVICE, MAINTENANCE
8.1
GENERAL This section describes ways an operator can ensure that the necessary handling, servicing and maintenance of the helicopter are accomplished.
NOTE
It is the operator’s responsibility to ensure that all airworthiness directives are complied with and that the handling, servicing and maintenance of the helicopter are accomplished when required and in accordance with the applicable Aviation Regulations.
In order to meet the above requirements, the helicopter operator should establish contact with the helicopter manufacturer or certified service station for service and information; and that all correspondence regarding the helicopter include the helicopter serial number found on the data plate secured to the RH fuselage structure. Helicopter and component maintenance manuals, and parts catalogs are available from the helicopter manufacturer. For definition of terms, abbreviations and symbols used in this section, refer to Section 1. 8.2
REFUELING
8.2.1
Refueling with anti–icing additives NOTE
D
Follow the anti-icing additive manufacturer’s instructions.
D
Before refueling, when using anti-icing additive, it is required to have 50 kg fuel in the main tank.
D
The operator must ensure that the fuel contains the permissible concentration of anti-icing additive.
Normal refueling: –
Hold Hold or attach attach the tube tube of the addit additive ive spra spray y at the the filler filler neck neck in such such a way way that that the additive mixes directly with the fuel flow.
–
During During refuel refueling ing,, spray spray the calcul calculate ated d additiv additive e quantity quantity at even even interva intervals ls so that that the amount of additive is spread evenly throughout the fuel quantity. Stop spraying when 20kg of fuel are still to be filled.
Barrel or gas can refueling: –
Use a fuel screen.
–
The proc procedu edure re as for for “norm “normal al refue refuelin ling” g” is to to be follo followed wed at at all times times..
–
If “normal “normal refueli refueling” ng” is not possible possible,, barrel barrel or can refuelin refueling g with anti-icin anti-icing g additive additive is not permissible.

DRAINAGE PROCEDURE
NOTE
Accomplishment of the drainage procedure is always necessary before every first flight of the day (see basic FLM, section 4). If the helicopter is parked for longer than a week and the main tank and the supply tank still contain either fuel to which anti–ice additive has been mixed by hand or fuel which had been preblended with anti–ice additive, the following drainage procedure is to be accomplished at least once a week. Additionally, in this case, the drainage procedure has to be accomplished again before the next flight.
8.3.1
Drainage procedure for removal of water accumulation from the main tank and from the supply tank: WARNING
NOTE
8-2
D
FUEL IS TOXIC AND DAMAGING TO HEALTH IF IT COMES INTO CONTACT WITH SKIN OR EYES OR IF FUEL VAPOURS ARE INHALED. THE APPLICABLE SAFETY REGULATIONS FOR HANDLING OF HAZARDOUS AND OF TOXIC MATERIALS HAVE TO BE OBSERVED.
D
TO PREVENT THE HAZARD OF FIRE AND EXPLOSION DUE TO SPARKING RESULTING FROM STATIC CHARGES, ALWAYS ESTABLISH THE SPECIFIED ELECTRICAL GROUND CONNECTIONS BEFORE STARTING DRAINING AND DO NOT REMOVE THEM UNTIL DRAINING HAS BEEN FINISHED.

Drainage is to be accomplished equally on all drain valves of the main tank and of the supply tank. To make sure that all accumulations of water are completely eliminated, the quantity of fuel/water mixture tapped off should not be less than 0.4 litres per tapping point. It is preferable to use the drain tool P/N 000.117 provided on helicopter delivery. To help determine the amount tapped off, it is useful to make a level indicator mark. To ease identification of the drain tool, it is recommended to mark it in the course of the initial accomplishment of the drainage procedure i.a.w. the work steps described below using the drain tool P/N 000.117. If the alternative drain tool P/N B13390 is used, the drain tool is briefly connected via a defueling hose to the drain valve by means of a bayonet catch through the openings in the forward and aft tank covers of the main tank and through those in the cover of the supply tank MANUFACTURER’S DATA Rev. 0
