Helicopter Description
‘The Bell 206B-3 is a single engine, five place helicopter designed to takeoff and land on
any reasonably level terrain. Standard configuration provides for one pilot and four
passengers.
Airframe
“The fuselage consists of three main sections: the FORWARD SECTION which extends
from the cabin nose to the bulkhead aft of the passenger compartment, the
INTERMEDIATE SECTION which extends from the bulkhead aft of the passenger
compartment to the tailboom, and the TAILBOOM SECTION.
‘The 2068-II can be equipped with various landing gear configurations including: high skid
landing gear, float landing gear (standard), or emergency flotation gear.

Crew Compartment
The pilot's station is situated on the right side
of the crew compartment. The left side can
accommodate a passenger, or a copilot if the
dual controls are installed.
Electrical System
The helicopter is equipped with a 28 VDC electrical system.
The helicopter electrical power is provided by a nickel-cadmium
battery, a starter/generator and/or an external power
ae eB receptacle.

Fuel ge —
The basic aircraft has a fuel capacity of 92 U.S. Gallons
(@1 usable). The aircraft is designed to operate on
standard aviation jet fuels.
Powerplant
The Bell Model 206B-3 is powered by a Rolls
Royce turboshatt engine, model 250-C20B/J,
that provides 317 Shafl Horsepower (SHP) for
takeoff and270 SHP for maximum continuous
operation.GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Drivetrain and Rotors
The drivetrain system provides a means of transmitting
power from the engine to the main and tail rotor
assemblies. The main rotoris a semi-rigid, seesaw, two
blade dosign that employs a preconed and underslung
feathering axis to ensure smooth operation. The tail
rotor is a semi-rigid, delta hinged, two blade design.
Flight Controls and Hydraulics
The flight controls are mechanical linkages
that are actuated by conventional controls
and used to control flight attitude and
direction. Both the cyclic and the collective
controls incorporate hydraulic servo
actuators.
The main rotor controls consist of the
swashplate, drive link, and pitch links.
The hydraulic system provides pressurizad
fluid to operate the cyclic and collective flight
control servo actuators. Operation of the
system is electrically controlled by means ot
the hydraulic system switch.

performance information and
All performance charts are based on an engine
meeting minimum Rolls-Royce
The data shown is derived from actual flight
tests and are intended to provide information to
be used in conducting flight operations. This
performance data is applicable to the 250-

Section 6 of the Rotorcraft Flight Manual (BHT-
‘206B-3-FM-1) presents the data necessary for the
pilot to compute gross weight and center of gravity
for various load configurations, It is the pilots
responsibility to ensure that the maximum gross
