2.3 FLIGHT ENVELOPE LIMITATIONS

2.3.1 AIRSPEED LIMITATIONS All airspeed limitations are Indicated Airspeeds. With doors closed:
With doors open or removed: NOTE Flight with any configuration not shown is prohibited. In all open doors configurations, loose objects shall not be in the cabin, cushions of unoccupied seats shall be removed and belts shall be stowed.

2.3.2 ALTITUDE LIMITATION 2.3.3 TEMPERATURE LIMITATIONS
- Maximum operating altitude in flight : Hp = 20000 ft (6096 m)
- Minimum temperature ................... : - 40C For cold weather operations, refer to SECTION 9 supplement 9-4. - Maximum temperature .................. : ISA+35C limited to +50C 2.3.4 LANDING AND ROTOR STOPPING LIMITATIONS ON SLOPE - Nose up........................................... : 10. - Nose down...................................... : 6. - Sideways......................................... : 8. 2.3.5 RUNNING LANDING LIMITATIONS Excluding emergencies and failures, maximum speed for performing: - Running landings............................ : 40 kt (74 km/h). 2.3.6 MANEUVERING LIMITATIONS Continued operation in servo transparency (where forces feedback is felt in the controls) is prohibited. Maximum load factor is a combination of TAS, H , and gross weight. Avoid such combination at high values associated with high collective pitch. The transparency may be reached during maneuvers, steep turns, hard pull-up or when maneuvering near VNE. Self-correcting, the phenomenon will induce an un-commanded right cyclic force and an associated down collective reaction. However, even if the transparency feedback forces are fully controllable, immediate action is required to relieve the feed back forces : decrease maneuver's severity, follow aircraft's natural reaction, let the collective pitch naturally go down (avoid low pitch) and counteract smoothly the right cyclic motion. Transparency will disappear as soon as excessive loads are relieved.
2-7
In maximum power configuration, decrease collective pitch slightly before initiating a turn, as in this maneuver power requirement is increased. In hover, avoid rotation faster than 6 sec. for one full rotation. 2.3.7 FLIGHT IN FALLING SNOW - Flight when visibility is greater than 1500 m (0.81 NM) : flight in falling snow is authorized. - Flight when visibility is within 800 to 1500 m (0.43 to 0.81 NM) : total flying time in falling snow is limited to 10 min. This time limit includes the time required to leave all snowy conditions, irrespective of the visibility. - Flight when visibility is lower than 800 m (0.43 NM) : flight in falling snow is prohibited.
NOTE Refer to SECTION 9 supplement 9-4 for check before flight.

2.4 VEHICLE LIMITATIONS
2.4.1 MAIN ROTOR LIMITATIONS
It is prohibited to use the rotor brake prior to engine shutdown. Minimum time between two consecutive breakings: 5 min.
NOTE Low NR aural warning < 360 rpm (continuous sound). High NR aural warning > 410 rpm(intermittent sound). 2.4.2 FIRST LIMITATION INSTRUMENT
NOTE The values (Ng = 100 %, T4 = 680 C, TRQ = 90%) are given as examples.
2-9
2.4.3 MAIN TRANSMISSION LIMITATIONS Tq limitations
NOTE Use of takeoff rating torque range has no time limit. 100 % torque corresponds to 478 kw (641 shp) at 386 NR rpm. 2.4.4 ENGINE LIMITATIONS Nf limitations
NOTE A NR rotor speed of 394 rpm corresponds to a Nf speed of 42452 rpm.

3.1 GENERAL
Emergency procedures describe the actions that the pilot must take relative to the various possible failures that can occur. Meanwhile, depending on the many variable external environments, such as the type of terrain overflown, the pilot may have to adapt to the situation according to his experience. To help the pilot in his decision process, four recommendations are used: LAND IMMEDIATELY Self explanatory. LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE Emergency conditions are urgent and require landing at the nearest landing site at which a safe landing can be made. LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE Emergency conditions are less urgent and in the pilot's judgment, he may proceed to the nearest airfield where he can expect appropriate assistance. CONTINUE FLIGHT Continue flight as planned. Repair at the destination according to the maintenance manual. NOTE Immediate actions that the pilot shall take are written in bold characters. 3.1.1 AUDIO WARNINGS On the SCU, a HORN] pushbutton is used to activate the audio warning. When HORN] pushbutton is pressed in: HORN. NOTE The pilot at the controls shall wear an adequate radio / ICS audio headset to monitor the audio warning through the ICS system. GONG A gong is generated each time a red warning appears on the warning panel.
3-1
CONTINUOUS TONE Two continuous tones can be heard: - When NR is below 360 rpm (310 Hz tone). - When take-off limitations are exceeded (285 Hz tone): * After 1.5 sec. delay if power remains within transient power limitations. * Immediately when transient power limitations are or may be exceeded during fast power increase. 1. Collective pitch..................... REDUCE to maintain NR in green arc or power within limitations. 2. Engine parameters............... CHECK. INTERMITTENT TONE An intermittent tone (310 Hz) is heard when the NR is above 410 rpm. Collective pitch......................... INCREASE to maintain NR in green arc.

a
APPROACH AND LANDING On a suitable area for autorotative landing: 1. FFCL.............................. RETARD. 2. Carry out an autorotative landing. 3.4.2 TAIL ROTOR CONTROL FAILURE
Symptom: jamming of pedals or pedals effectiveness loss. These conditions induce an inability to change tail rotor thrust with the pedals. WARNING LANDING IS MADE EASIER BY LANDING WITH A RH WIND COMPONENT. WHEN AIRSPEED IS LOWER THAN 20 KT, GO-AROUND IS IMPOSSIBLE DUE TO LOSS OF VERTICAL FIN EFFICIENCY. 1. Cyclic and collective............ ADJUST to set IAS to 70 kt (130 km/h) in level flight. 2.

..................... RESET in up position.
. On a suitable area for a running landing procedure: Make a shallow approach with a slight left sideslip. Perform a running landing, the sideslip will be reduced progressively as airspeed is reduced and collective is applied to cushion the landing.

1. GENERAL
The three axis Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS) SFIM 85 T 31 is intended to hold the attitudes (pitch, roll, yaw) and heading set by the pilot. Additional modes : - A/S : holds present airspeed. - ALT : holds present pressure altitude, - HDG : acquires and holds of heading selected on the HSI. - T/C : automatic yaw/roll co-ordination during turns. 1.1. Description of installation The AFCS or autopilot (AP) system includes the following items : - An AFCS computer linked to following sensors : . Vertical gyro . Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI) . Directional gyro and flux valve . Air data unit . Yaw pedal displacement detector . Lateral accelerometer (sideslip detector)
Figure 1 : AFCS system components.

This module monitors at different levels the operations of the pitch and roll channels by comparison of the output data from the vertical gyro and the instrument panel gyro horizon: . attitude sensors . control inputs generating system . control actuators In case of discrepancy or abnormal operation, this unit warns the pilot and disengages the faulty channel. The monitoring unit is automatically switched on as soon as one pitch or roll channel is engaged. - An AFCS control panel :
