1-1. INTRODUCTION
The 206L4 LongRanger helicopter, its primary and auxiliary systems, as well as emergency equipment are described in this section. The main helicopter and its components are shown in Figure 1-1. The information in this Manufacturers Data is also applicable to 206L1+ and 206L3+ helicopters (Increased Gross Weight Upgrade kit 206-706-530 i n s ta l l e d per B H T- 2 0 6 - S I - 2 0 5 2 ) . I n f o r m a t i o n t h a t i s specifically applicable to 206L1+ and 206L3+ helicopters will be identified as 206L1+ and 206L3+ IGW Upgrade. The basic 206L4 as well as the 206L3+ IGW Upgrade helicopters have a fuel capacity of 112.0 U.S. gallons (110.7 gallons usable) [99.4 U.S. gallons (98.4 gallons usable) for the 206L1+ IGW Upgrade] distributed into three cells. The helicopters are designed to operate on standard aviation jet fuels. The helicopter is powered by a Rolls-Royce turboshaft engine, model 250-C30P, that provides 490 Shaft Horsepower (SHP) for takeoff and 370 SHP for maximum continuous operation. The drivetrain system provides a means of transmitting power from the engine to the main and tail rotor assemblies. The main rotor is a semi-rigid, seesaw, two blade design that employs a preconed and underslung feathering axis to ensure smooth operation. The tail rotor is a semi-rigid, delta hinged, two blade design. The flight controls are mechanical linkages that are actuated by conventional controls and are 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 pressurized fluid to operate the cyclic and collective flight control servo actuators. Operation of the system is electrically controlled by means of the hydraulic system switch. The helicopter can be equipped with various landing gear configurations including: low skid landing gear (stand ard ), high skid landing gear, float landing gear, or emergency flotation gear. 23 OCT 2008Rev. 11-7

FUSELAGE STATIONS

The forward section (Figure 1-1) utilizes aluminum honeycomb structure and provides the major load carrying elements of the forw ard cabin. It provides for pilot and passenger seating, fuel cell enclosure, and pylon support. The cabin area accommodates up to seven persons or 80 cubic feet (2.2 m3) of cargo. 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. Floor loading in the cabin area is limited to 75 pounds per square foot (3.7 kg/100 cm2). The crew and passenger doors contain a three-component wedge shaped window of blue tinted plastic with the lower forward section being used as a sliding window for ventilation. This sliding window is adjustable and the window handle functions not only as a handle to open, but also as a retainer to keep the window from sliding out of the track. The windshields are fabricated of tinted acrylic plastic and are supported by formed aluminum alloy sections. Two blue-tinted transparent lower windows (chin bubbles) fabricated of plastic are located in the lower cabin nose section. Two cabin roof windows (skylights) are provided in the roof of forward compartment. The right side cabin panel window is fixed and made of tinted plastic. The helicopter is equipped with five entrance/ exit doors for crew and passengers, as well as a variety of hinged doors and panels, which provide access for inspection and servicing. Crew and passenger doors are located on both sides of the fuselage, while a single litter door and a baggage compartment door are located on the left side of the helicopter.

Fuselage stations (FS or STA) are vertical planes perpendicular to, and measured along the longitudinal axis of the helicopter. Station zero is the reference datum plane and is located 55.16 inches (1401 mm) forward of the forward jack point centerline.

FUSELAGE TAILBOOM SECTION

The tailboom (Figure 1-1) is attached to the aft fuselage by means of four bolts. It consists of an aluminum alloy monocoque tailboom which supports the tail rotor drivetrain as well as a horizontal stabilizer with end plates, vertical fin, and fairings. Modifications of the tailboom, including installation of antenna, lights or equipment that change the mass or mass distribution of the helicopter, are not permitted without appropriate Bell Helicopter approval. The horizontal stabilizer is constructed of aluminum honeycomb. The stabilizer is an inverted airfoil that provides a downward resultant lift on the tailboom to maintain the cabin in a nearly level attitude throughout the cruise airspeed range and to aerodynamically streamline the fuselage to reduce drag. Leading edge slats are installed to improve pitch stability during climbs. A controllable trailing edge synchronized elevator modifies the downforce transmitted to the tailboom based on airflow across the unit. Th e le ad in g ed ges o f the e nd pla tes or dynamic dihedrals, located on each end of the horizontal stabilizer, are offset 5 to the left of centerline (Figure 1-2). The offset improves dihedral (roll) stability of the helicopter in forward flight. The vertical fin, constructed primarily of aluminum and honeycomb material, provides directional (yaw) stability. The leading edge of the fin is canted 5.5 outboard to reduce tail rotor thrust requirements during forward flight (Figure 1-2). It contains a top fairing to mount the anticollision light and a rubber bumper and tail skid to protect the tail rotor and w arn the pilot o f a tail-low landing attitude. 1-16Rev. 123 OCT 2008

Under normal operating conditions, this will allow the generator control unit/voltage regulator to monitor and control the output voltage of the starter generator and in turn connect the output of the generator to the 28 VDC bus through the generator line control relay. 1-40Rev. 123 OCT 2008

These 10- and 5-amp circuit breakers are located on the overhead panel (Figure 1-4) and protect the generator line control relay and the generator field relay. If either of these circuit breakers has tripped, they should be reset (once only). If the circuit breaker trips again, leave it out. A generator reset will not be possible under these conditions. 1-25-F-4. START SWITCH

The START switch (Figure 1-6) is located on the collective switch box. It contains a spring loaded contact that provides momentary contact in the START position.

The electrical system has one warning light and two caution lights associated. 1-25-H-1. BATTERY HOT WARNING LIGHT

The 17 amp/hour nickel cadmium battery incorporates an internal thermal switch that will illuminate the warning light if the internal battery temperature reaches 60C (140F). Turn BAT switch OFF and land as soon as practical. 1-25-H-2. BATTERY RELAY CAUTION LIGHT

The GEN FAIL light is controlled by the line control relay. The light will illuminate when the generator relay is de-energized and the generator output is not connected to the DC bus. The line control relay is energized by the DC control unit/voltage reg ulator w hen generator output climbs through a threshold of 24 2.4 VDC. Prior to the generator relay being energized, the GEN FAIL light is on. Once the generator relay is energized, the GEN FAIL light is extinguished. If this caution light illuminates in flight, the pilot should follow the generator failure procedures prescribed in the BHT-206L4-FM-1, Section 3 and land as soon as practical.

The electrical system design has provided a way for the helicopter to function (fly) without electrical bus power. If circumstances dictate that the pilot turns off both the generator and battery in flight, the electrical system is designed to operate the left boost pump directly from the battery (paragraph 1-25-F-1). In the event of a complete electrical failure, a fully charged battery will continue to operate the left boost pump for more than 3 hours. This will provide boosted fuel pressure to the engine and transfer fuel from the forward cells, making all of the fuel available and maintaining longitudinal CG on the helicopter.

BHT-206L4-MD-1 into the engine supply line and the pressurized fuel transfer feed lines servicing the ejector pump. The engine supply line fuel flows past the fuel pressure transducer, then to the fuel valve. When the fuel valve is opened, the fuel flow continues through to the airframe fuel filter, into the engine driven fuel pump, and into the fuel control unit. If the pilot has opened the throttle, fuel will flow from the fuel control unit, through the fuel nozzle, and into the combustion chamber. Fuel flow to the ejector pump When the BAT switch is turned ON, the boost pumps begin to operate, pumping pressurized fuel into the fuel manifold. The fuel enters the manifold through the boost pump one-way check valves and is directed into the engine supply line and the pressurized fuel transfer feed lines servicing the dual element ejector pump. There are two pressurized lines moving fuel forward, one for ea ch fue l bo os t pu mp, c on nec ted to its respective side of the ejector pump. That portion of the fuel flowing to the ejector pump flows through a screen mesh filter, an in-line check valve, through a flow switch and into the dual element ejector pump. The movement of the pressurized fuel through the ejector pump creates a venturi effect inside the pump. This venturi effect causes the transfer of fuel from the forward cells to the aft cell through the transfer return line. If the gravity standpipe is submerged in fuel and the boost pump(s) are running, there will be a constant circulation of fuel between the forward and aft cells.

All fuel cells are vented overboard by a common vent line. Fuel from the aft fuel cell is provided to the engine by two electric boost pumps which are mounted on a sump plate assembly at the bottom of the aft cell. Pressure fuel from the pumps is fed through a fuel manifold, fuel shutoff valve and airframe mounted fuel filter before reaching the engine. Pressure fuel is also directed by the manifold forward to a dual element ejector pump which in turn transfers fuel from the forward fuel cells to the aft fuel cell. A low fuel level detector and electrically operated sump drain valve are also mounted on the sump plate assembly at the bottom of the aft cell. The low level detector activates the FUEL LOW caution light (50 to 75 pounds) and the drain valve is activated by a switch on the lower right side of the aft fuselage. The switch is deactivated when the fuel valve switch is ON to prevent inadvertent activation during flight. A capacitance type fuel quantity gauging system using three probes is used to provide a signal to the fuel quantity indicator. One probe is located in the left forward fuel cell and two are located in the aft fuel cell. The upper probe in the aft fuel cell is also utilized as a transmitter which sends the electrical signals from the three probes to the fuel quantity indicator.

The recommended engine shutdown procedure includes turning OFF the fuel valve. This opens the alternate circuit and prevents power from reaching the left fuel boost pump while the BAT switch is OFF. If the fuel valve is not turned off, the left boost pump continues to operate and depletes the battery. Pulling the LEFT BOOST PUMP circuit breaker is not recommended.

1-26-C. FUEL CELLS


The helicopter has three crash-resistant bladder type fuel cells (Figure 1-9) that are serviced through a single point filler port located on the right side of the helicopter. These tanks have a combined capacity of 112.0 U.S. gallons (110.7 U.S. gallons usable) for 206L4 and 206L3+ IGW Upgrade and 99.4 U.S. gallons (98.4 U.S. gallons usable) for the 206L1+ IGW Upgrade. The aft cell is located below and behind the aft passenger seats and has a total capacity of 89 gallons for 206L4 and 206L3+ IGW Upgrade and 75.7 gallons for the 206L1+ IGW Upgrade. The forward cells are located under the mid passenger seats. Each forward cell has a capacity of 11.5 gallons (43.5 L). A standpipe permits fuel to gravity transfer from the aft to forward cells whenever the level of fuel in the aft cell is above the height of the standpipe. The gravity and pressure return lines that connect the aft and forward cells are routed along the floor of the main cabin and are covered by a protective floor panel.

1-26-E. FUEL MANIFOLD


The fuel manifold (Figure 1-9) directs fuel flow through a one-way check valve (which will close and prevent re-circulation in the event of a single boost pump failure), combines the flow from each pum p, and delivers fuel through a common line to the engine. A portion of the fuel from each boost pump is routed out of the manifold through a transfer feed line on the floor, an in-line filter, an in-line check valve, a flow switch, and into the respective side of the dual element ejector pump.

1-26-D. FUEL BOOST PUMPS


Two electric boost pumps (Figure 1-9) are mounted on a common sump plate on the lo w e r s e c ti o n o f t h e aft fu e l c e ll . E a c h individual pump is capable of sufficient pressure to supply fuel to the engine-driven fuel pump. A portion of the output from each pump (left or right) is also used for operating its respective side of the dual element ejector p u m p . E a c h b o o s t p u m p d e l i v e r s i ts pressurized fuel flow into the fuel manifold. The LEFT FUEL BOOST circuit breaker in the overhead panel is outlined by a yellow border to identify that it has an alternate electrical circuit (Figure 1-8). If a malfunction requires that OFF be selected for both the GEN and BAT switches, all DC bus power is lost. In this case, the only electrical component that continues to operate is the left fuel boost pump. This pump receives power from the battery through the fuel valve switch even though the BAT switch is OFF. This enables

1-26-F. FUEL PRESSURE TRANSDUCER


The fuel pressure transducer (Figure 1-9) converts a wet line pressure into an electrical sign al. The fuel pressure trans ducer is powered by 28 VDC power and measures the combined fuel boost pump pressure to the engine. This data is displayed on the fuel pressure gauge in the cockpit. The transducer is installed in the engine supply line prior to the fuel shutoff valve. The fuel pressure ga uge w ill d ispla y th e pro per pre ss ure indication with the BAT switch ON and boost pump(s) energized, regardless of fuel valve position.

BHT-206L4-MD-1 the refueling port. The FUEL VALVE switch is located on the lower right corner of the instrument panel and electrically controls the fuel valve. When the switch is in the ON position, fuel flows through the open valve and into the airframe fuel filter. When the switch is placed into the OFF position, the fuel valve closes and stops fuel flow to the engine.

MANUFACTURERS DATA

1-26-J. FUEL FLOW SWITCHES


A fuel flow switch (Figure 1-9) in each fuel feed transfer line continuously monitors fuel flow to the dual element ejector pump. These flow switches will activate the L/FUEL PUMP or R/FUEL PUMP caution light if fuel flow is inadequate in the fuel feed transfer line. Inadequate flow may be the result of boost pump failure, in-line filter clogging, or ejector pump clogging. If fuel flow is restricted, the system may not have sufficient pressure to operate the ejector pump.

1-26-H. AIRFRAME FUEL FILTER


The airframe fuel filter (Figure 1-9) is located on the rig ht side of the fo rward e ngine firewall. It is equipped with a built-in filter bypass valve and impending bypass switch that is electrically connected to an amber c a u t i o n l i g h t o n t h e c a u t i o n pa n e l . A t a p p ro x im a te ly 1 P S I D (d i ff er e n ti a l f ue l pressure), the FUEL FILTER caution light illuminates. The illumination of this light indicates that the filter is in impending bypass. The filter bypasses at approximately 4 PSID, however, there are no further cockpit indications. A red press-to-test button is located on the top of the filter head to check the electrical connection to the fuel filter caution light.

1-26-K. DUAL ELEMENT EJECTOR PUMP


The dual element ejector pump (Figure 1-9) is connected to each of the forward fuel cells and to the pressurized fuel feed transfer lines from the boost pumps. The ejector pump will utilize this pressurized fuel flow to create low pressure inside the ejector pump. This low pressure (venturi) effect will suck the fuel from the respective forward cell and move the fuel aft through a pressure transfer line between the ejector pump and the aft cell.

A float type low-level detector (Figure 1-9) is mounted on the sump plate in the aft fuel cell and is calibrated to activate the FUEL LOW caution light on the caution panel when approximately 10 gallons (50 to 75 pounds) of fuel remains in the aft tank.

An in-line fuel filter (Figure 1-9) with a mesh screen is installed in the pressure transfer feed line from each boost pump to the ejector pump. These filters protect components downstream in the fuel flow from debris and possible blockage. The in-line check valves are immediately downstream from the filters and are opened by fuel flow (pressure). The purpose of the in-line check valves is to prevent air from entering the fuel system in the event of a dual boost pump failure. To be more specific, if a check valve is defective and both boost pumps are inoperative, air may be drawn into the fuel system by the engine driven fuel pump once the fuel level in the aft cell is below the top of the fuel gravity feed standpipe. 1-50Rev. 123 OCT 2008

Three separate fuel quantity probes (one located in the forward left cell and two located in the aft cell) send signals that indicate fuel quantity (based on fuel levels and density) to the fuel quantity t r a n s m i t t e r. A m i c r o p r o c e s s o r i n t h e transmitter uses the information provided by the three probes to compute the weight of the fuel. The fuel quantity indicator then displays the combined fuel quantity in pounds. The pilot can monitor fuel quantity in the forward fuel cells independently of the aft fuel cell by selecting FWD on the FUEL QTY switch (206L4 and 206L3+ IGW Upgrade S/N 51244 and subsequent) located to the left of the fuel quantity indicator. Under normal conditions, in level flight, fuel begins transferring from the forward fuel cell to main fuel cell at the following approximate total fuel quantities: 206L3+ IGW Upgrade S/N 51001 through 51243 without FUEL QTY switch 206L4 and 206L3+ IGW Upgrade S/N 51244 and subsequent with FUEL QTY switch 206L1+ IGW Upgrade 476.0 pounds

There are four caution lights associated with the fuel system:

L FUEL PUMP/ R FUEL PUMP When the flow switches detect a problem in flow to the ejector pump, they illuminate the respective L/FUEL PUMP or R/FUEL PUM P caution light(s). A flow problem may indicate that the pump has failed or that the in-line filter is clogged. In the case of a single boost pump failure, pressurized fuel continues to flow to the engine and the ejector pump from the remaining boost pump. The pilot should descend below 6000 HP and land as soon as practical. If a dual boost pump failure should occur, the ejector pump will not function and cannot transfer fuel from the forward cells to the aft cell. In this case also, the pilot should descend below 6000 feet HP and land as soon as possible. All of the fuel remaining in the forw ard cells is tra ppe d a nd sho uld be considered unusable. Depending upon the level of fuel in the forward cells at the time of failure, this quantity may be as much as: 206L3+ IGW Upgrade S/N 51001 through 51243 without FUEL QTY switch 156.9 pounds

MANUFACTURERS DATA consists of the separator, bleed air tubing and hoses, compressor wash fittings, and other required hardware. The separator section has 281 filter elements and is positioned so that all inlet air must pass through the filter elements before entering the engine. Each of the filter elements or tube assemblies in the separator consists of a vortex generator bonded into an inlet tube and a second smaller tube to form a scavenge chamber. Particles such as dust, dirt or sand, entering the filter elements, are spun in the vortex g e n e r a t o r ( F i g u r e 1 - 11 ) a n d h u r l e d centrifugally into the scavenge chamber. They are ejected overboard by the venturi effect created by engine bleed air as it is discharged through the ejector tubes. This scavenge flow, which carries the particulate material with it, accounts for approximately 8% of the inlet air flow. A window is installed on each side of the cowling to permit visual inspection of the separator plenum chamber. The ejector tubes are mounted on each side of the cowling just below these windows. A compressor wash fitting permits the introduction of wash water directly into the engine inlet. Installation imposes no aerodynamic restrictions and has no effect on the maximum gross weight. The kit is equipped with a particle separator purge switch located o n t h e m i s c e l l a n e o u s c o n t r o l pa n e l (Figure 1-4). With the switch ON, engine bleed air is used to purge the particle separator plenum. Due to the pressure drop at the inlet and the use of bleed air to purge the system, there is a slight reduction of power available. With the switch OFF, slightly more engine power is available because of the reduction in bleed air use. On 206L1+ and 206L3+ IGW Upgrade helicopters without a particle separator purge switch, bleed air is continually provided to purge the particle separator plenum.

FUEL FILTER The fuel filter caution light illuminates when the differential pressure switch senses a difference between input and output pressure greater than 1 PSI. This pressure difference is an indication that the filter is becoming clogged. The filter will con tin ue to fu nction no rma lly un til the pressure differential reaches approximately 4 PSI. At this time, the bypass valve will open and permit fuel to bypass the filter enroute to the engine fuel pump. Proper pilot action is to land as soon as practical. The filter must be inspected/replaced prior to the next flight.

FUEL LOW The FUEL LOW light illuminates when approximately 50 to 75 pounds of fuel (approximately 10 gallons) remain in the aft cell. This caution light is activated by the low level detector which is mounted on the sump p l a t e i n t h e a ft c e l l a n d i s c o m p l e t e l y independent of the fuel quantity system. If the light illuminates, the pilot should verify the fuel quantity, then land as soon as practical. If there is a fuel transfer problem, the fuel quantity indicated may be higher than normal, indicating fuel is trapped in the forward cells and not available to the engine.

MANUFACTURERS DATA screen (or particle separator), the air inlet, and then into the compressor. The compressor compacts and increases the velocity of this incoming air, then discharges it into two external ducts that direct the air to the combustion section of the engine. An automatic bleed air system is incorporated to allow a portion of the compressed air to vent overboard during the start cycle. This will allow the engine speed to accelerate at a desired rate and minimize the opportunity for compressor stall to occur. As compressor speed increases, the pneumatically controlled bleed valve gradually closes. The combustion section burns the fuel at peak efficiency. After the igniter is energized and when fuel is introduced into the chamber at a precisely controlled rate, the mixture ignites. Combustion is even and continuous as long as the proper air/fuel mixture is maintained. The turbine section consists of a two-stage gas producer turbine, gas coupled to the two-stage power turbine. The gas producer turbine (N1) rotates at 50,940 RPM at 100% N1 speed and the two-stage power turbine (N 2) rotates at a constant 30,650 RPM at 100% N2 speed. The turbine section is designed to utilize the energy from combustion to drive various gear trains. These gear trains drive the components that will sustain the engine opera tion and provide a n ou tp ut to the helicopter drivetrain. The engine is horizontally mounted aft of the transmission and above the fuselage to simplify the drive system, improve the inlet/ exhaust arrangement, and to reduce cabin noise. The engine is supported by three bipod m o u n ts o n t h e e n g i n e d e c k t o p r o v i d e structural integrity. The transmission is coupled to the engine by means of the main input driveshaft and freewheeling unit.

1-28. POWER PLANT


The Rolls-Royce 250-C30P engine (Figure 1-12) is an internal combustion turboshaft engine featuring a free power turbine. The gas generator is composed of a single stage, single entry centrifugal flow compressor directly coupled to a two-stage gas generator turbine. The power turbine is a two-stage free turbine which is gas coupled to the gas gene ra tor tu rb ine . The integral reduction gearbox has front and rear drive splines to mate the helicopter drives. The engine has a single combustion chamber with single ignition. The output shaft centerline is located below the centerline of the engine turbine shafting and the single exhaust outlet is directed upward. The Model 250-C30P is a thermodynamically rated 650 shaft horsepower (SHP) engine. For installation in the 206L4 and on 206L1+ and 206L3+ IGW Upgrade helicopters, the maximum fuel flow the engine will receive has been set to 356 PPH. This fuel flow will produce approximately 575 SHP or 117% torque at sea level on a standard day. This flat rating is set lower than the thermodynamic limit to protect the drivetrain from excessive torque. Torque gauge markings create a derated limit. At takeoff the pilot may use 490 SHP or 100% torque (5 minute limit), and 370 SHP for continuous operation 75% torque. This combination of flat rating and derated limits will enable the helicopter to have consistent lifting performance from sea level to moderate altitudes (see performance charts in BHT-206L4-FM-1, Section 4 for detailed information). Air is supplied to the engine through air scoops on either side of the fuselage located immediately aft of the transmission cowling. The air is directed through a protective inlet 1-54Rev. 123 OCT 2008

The front support encloses the front bearing and supports it through five hollow inlet struts. The struts are hollow to provide an anti-icing capability using compressor discharge air. Oil pa s s a g e s a r e i n c o r p o r a t e d t o p r o v i d e lubrication of the compressor front bearing. The compressor rear bearing is mounted in the rear support assembly and is lubricated from the gearbox. The compressor impeller is machined from a single piece of forged titanium. The vanes transition from axial to centrifugal, eliminating the need for stators. At 100% N1 the compressor is rotating at 50,940 RPM. The compression ratio is approximately 8.5:1 (8.5 Bars or 123 PSI). This rapid compression will increase the temperature of the compressed air to approximately 291C (555F). The compressor impeller requires a considerable amount of shaft horsepower to pump air to provide the required air flow and pressure. The shaft horsepower required by the compressor rotor varies directly with air density and N 1 RPM, and the gas producer turbine rotor must develop the horsepower required. As a general rule, a compressor will consume approximately 2 HP for each horsepower at the output shaft. 1-28-A-1. COMPRESSOR BLEED SYSTEM

Operation of the engine during icing conditions could result in ice formations on the compressor front support. If ice were allowed to build up, airflow to the engine could be affected and performance decreased. The engine anti-icing system is designed to prevent ice formation on the compressor front support. The pilot activates the system by placing the ENGINE ANTI-ICING switch to the ON position (Figure 1-4). When the system is in operation, compressor discharge air, which has been heated due to compression, flows through the anti-icing valve (Figure 1-12) and tube to the compressor front support passages. Hot air flows between the double wall outer shell and into the five hollow radial struts. The hot air flowing through the radial struts exhausts either from small slots in the trailing edge of the struts or from the double wall bullet nose hub of the compressor front support. The compressor inlet guide vanes and front bearing support hub are the only engine components with anti-icing provisions. The bleed air shutoff valve is solenoid controlled. In the event of a total electrical failure, the system is fail-safe to on (no electrical power = anti-ice ON). 23 OCT 2008Rev. 11-57

Two features are used to control pressures in the compressor. The compressor liner has a narrow slot machined into the perimeter near the front. This slot is known as the inducer bleed port. During low RPM operation, air exits through the port, reducing drag. This reduction of drag allows rapid acceleration. At higher RPM, when maximum engine efficiency is required, air enters the compressor through this slot, increasing the

MANUFACTURERS DATA The turbines take advantage of the impact and reaction of the gases passing through the gas producer and power turbines. The turbines may be broadly classified as an impact, reaction type. Varying fuel flow changes the temperature of the gases passing through the turbine section and the amount of energy in the gas stream. This variation of gas energy will result in a change in the expansion rate of the gases as well as a change in gas velocity through the turbines. Consequently, any increase in gas temperature will result in an increase in the speed and torque developed by the turbines. 1-28-C-1. TURBINE OUTLET TEMPERATURE (TOT)

1-28-B. COMBUSTION SECTION


The combustion section (Figure 1-12) consists of an outer combustion case and a combustion liner. The combustion liner is located inside the outer case. The fuel nozzle and igniter plug are mounted in the aft end of the outer combustion case. Compressor discharge air enters the combustion case via two air tubes connected to the diffuser scroll. Air then enters the combustion liner through vanes and holes in the liner dome and skin. The air is mixed with fuel sprayed from the fuel nozzle and combustion takes place. Air enters the combustion liner in such a manner that the flame pattern is prevented from touching the wall of the combustion liner, thus insulating and protecting the liner from damage and deformation caused by excessive heat. Combustion is even and continuous as long as the proper air/fuel mixture is maintained. Approximately 20 to 25% of the air delivered to this section is required to burn the fuel. The other 75 to 80% is used to expand the gases and cool the internal parts. Approximately 2% of the air is used to seal oil passages.

T h e t e m p e r a t u r e o f t h e g a s e s pa s s i n g through the turbine is sensed by means of four thermocouples (Figure 1-12) located between the N1 and N2 turbine wheels.

BHT-206L4-MD-1 combustion is continuous and the ignition source is no longer required. Electrical power is supplied from the electrical bus and is protected by the 5-amp IGNTR circuit breaker. The start counter (if installed) is energized by the ignition system and is used to record the number of starts or attempted starts. The oil pump supplies a pressurized volume of oil for proper lubrication and cooling of the bearings and gears. A scavenge pump collects oil from the various sump cavities and returns it to the airframe mounted engine oil tank. The fuel nozzle atomizes and injects fuel into the combustion liner at the proper spray angle and pattern. The burner drain valves drain any unburned fuel from the combustion section following an engine shutdown or aborted start. During start, the drain valves close when the air pressure within the combustion section exceeds the air pressure on the outside of the combustion section by a predetermined value. The valves open on shutdown by means of spring action. The starter/generator is used as a DC motor to spool the engine during the starting cycle. Once the start is completed, the DC generator su p plie s all th e el ec tric al ne ed s o f th e helicopter and charges the battery. The engine-driven fuel pump assembly is a single element gear type pump that produces approximately 600 PSI. This high pressure is needed to operate the fuel control system. The pump receives filtered fuel from the airframe mounted fuel filter, increases the pressure, and delivers the high pressure fuel into the fuel control unit. The gas producer fuel control and power turbine governor serve as the fuel control system to provide speed governing of the power turbine rotor and overspeed protection for the gas producer turbine.

The torquemeter in the engine gearbox is a hydraulic type that uses the engine lubrication system as its oil (hydraulic) pressure source. The output oil pressure from the engine torquemeter is displayed on the cockpit torque indicator. In order to minimize f r i c t i o n e f f e c ts a n d p r o v i d e a c c u r a t e measurement of torque, the axial gear thrust on the helical torquemeter gear shaft is high. System pressure must always be greater than the torquemeter oil pressure. Therefore, it is necessary to regulate the system oil pressure to the relatively high value of 115 to 130 PSI. 1-28-D-2. ENGINE ACCESSORIES

Information on the various engine accessories (Figure 1-12) follows: The oil filter assembly includes an oil filter, oil pressure regulating valve, and an oil filter bypass valve.

The output of this tachometer generator is delivered to the dual tachometer turbine/rotor indicator and reflects power turbine (N2) RPM. The ignition exciter converts 28 VDC energy into high temperature/high amperage arcs at the igniter plug and is required during the starting cycle.

MANUFACTURERS DATA The oil cooler and blower assembly are mounted aft of the engine. The cooler blower is a part of the tail rotor drive system and forces air upward through the cooler core. Return oil from the engine flows through the oil cooler bypass valve. The bypass valve will direct oil away from the cooling fin ducts if the oil temperature is low. The valve is designed to regulate oil temperature between 71 and 81C (160 and 178F). The normal capacity of the engine oil tank is 6.0 US quarts (5.7 L). The oil level is checked by means of a dipstick mounted on the cap and adapter assembly of the oil tank. The oil tank provides port openings for the supply tube, vent tube, scavenge tube, temperature bulb, and drain valve. Engine oil pressure is monitored by routing regulated oil pressure through an external line to the engine oil pressure gauge in the cockpit. Oil temperature is monitored by the use of a temperature bulb mounted in the oil line at the base of the oil tank. That signal is delivered to the temperature side of the engine oil gauge and is protected by a 3-amp XMSN TEMP IND circuit breaker. 1-28-D-4. ENGINE FUEL AND CONTROL SYSTEM

The engine incorporates a dry sump oil system with an airframe mounted supply tank and an oil cooler located on the top aft section of the fuselage (Figure 1-13). The oil filter assembly, consisting of an oil filter, filter bypass valve, and pressure regulating valve, is located on the top of the gearbox. Magnetic chip detectors are installed at the bottom of the gearbox and at the engine oil outlet connection on the front of the gearbox. All engine oil system lines and connections are internal except the pressure and scavenge lines to the front compressor bearing and to the bearings in the gas producer and power turbine supports. The system is designed to furnish adequate lubrication, scavenging, and cooling as needed to the bearings, splines, and gears, regardless of the helicopter attitude or altitude. Jet lubrication is provided to all compressor, gas producer turbine, and power turbine rotor bearings, and to the bearings and gear meshes of the power turbine gear train, with the exception of the power output shaft bea rings. Th e pow er output shaft bearings and all other gears and bearings are lubricated by oil mist. Oil from the tank is delivered to the engine internal pressure pump. System oil pressure is regulated to 115 to 130 PSI by the pressure regulating valve. Pressurized oil passes through the filter and then to various points of lubrication. The scavenge pump returns the heated oil to the engine oil outlet port where it is routed to the oil cooler. 1-60Rev. 123 OCT 2008

BHT-206L4-MD-1 The gas producer fuel control and the power turbine governor provide for a fuel metering system. This system senses gas producer RPM, power turbine RPM, compressor discharge pressure, and throttle position to regulate and maintain fuel flow. The gas producer fuel control is the device that will meter fuel into the engine to determine idle speed, fuel flow for the initial combustion process, and start acceleration. When the throttle is in the full open position, the fuel control unit will control the fuel flow into the engine based upon the pneumatic signal received by the power turbine governor. The fuel control unit has been mechanically adjusted (flat rated) to restrict fuel flow to a maximum of 356 pounds per hour to deliver approximately 575 SHP. An accumulator is located in the pneumatic line between the power turbine governor and the gas producer fuel control. The accumulator dampens pressure signals from the power turbine governor to the fuel control due to torsional vibrations encountered from the rotor system and maintains a constant N1 RPM. The fuel nozzle has a single entry and a dual outlet orifice. This nozzle provides a finely atomized spray of fuel at all flow conditions that are required by the engine. It is designed to p ro v id e a n op t im u m s p ra y a ng l e f o r starting the engine and an even distribution of fuel into the combustion liner. The nozzle is equipped with a filter to minimize the possibility of contamination. The fuel control system maintains engine power output by regulating the gas producer speed. Gas producer speed levels are established by the action of the power turbine fuel governor, which senses power turbine speed. Power turbine speed (N 2) is selected by the pilot utilizing the BEEP switch on the collective. The power required to sustain the selected RPM is maintained by power turbine governor action on metered fuel flow. The power turbine governor sends pneumatic signals to the fuel control to increase or

MANUFACTURERS DATA decrease fuel flow to the combustion chamber based on N 2 RPM changes and movement of the collective. The engine controls consist of both the N 1 gas producer controls and the N 2 droop compensator controls. The gas producer controls are operated by a twist grip on the collective stick, and the droop compensator controls are operated from a bellcrank in the collective system. The twist grip throttle on the collective controls the gas producer fuel control and consists of a flexible control cable which extends from the throttle arm on the rear of the collective stick to a bellcrank assembly mounted on the engine deck. A control tube is connected between the bellcrank and a lever mounted on the fuel control shaft. 1-28-D-5. N2 DROOP COMPENSATOR SYSTEM

MANUFACTURERS DATA The droop com pen sator co ntrol system consists of a mechanical linkage between an idler in the collective system and a lever mounted on the power turbine governor shaft. Movement of the collective stick results in a repositioning of the governor shaft. This action provides droo p com pensation to prevent RPM variations as power changes are made. The system incorporates a linear actuator that is controlled electrically by a GOVernor RPM INCrease/DECRease switch mounted on the collective stick. The droop compensator maintains N2 engine RPM as power demand is increased. It is a direct mechanical linkage between the collective stick and the speed selector lever on the N2 governor and will maintain N2 RPM when properly rigged. Droop is defined as the speed change in N 2 engine RPM as power is increased from a no load condition. It is a characteristic designed into the governor system to prevent instability from developing as engine output is increased. Without this characteristic, N 1 speed would overshoot or hunt the value necessary to satisfy the new power condition. If N2 is allowed to droop other than momentarily, the reduction in rotor speed could become critical.

BHT-206L4-MD-1 Pilots are to record torque events for each flight. Maintenance personnel will convert the torque events into RIN to track the lives of all the required components. A torque event is defined as a takeoff (one takeoff plus the subsequent landing = 1 RIN) or a lift (internal or external). For example, if an operator performs six takeoffs and 10 sling loads, this would total 16 torque events (6 takeoffs = 6 events, 10 sling loads = 10 events, 6 + 10 = 16 events total).

D u r i n g a u t o r o ta t i o n , t h e s p r a g c l u t c h disengages and the rotational forces of the main rotor are utilized to drive the transmission accessories and tail rotor drive system.

1-29. RETIREMENT INDEX NUMBER (RIN)


Each component with a retirement life sensitive to torque events will be assigned a maximum Retirement Index Number (RIN). This RIN corresponds to the maximum allowed fat igu e d am a ge res ul ting fro m lifts an d takeoffs. A new component will begin with an accumulated RIN of zero that will be increased as lifts and takeoffs are performed. The operator will record the number of lifts and takeoffs and increase the accumulated RIN. When the max imu m R IN is re ach ed, the component will be removed from service. Certain components may be assigned a life in hours in addition to a RIN.

1-30-B. MAIN DRIVESHAFT


The main driveshaft (Figure 1-14) is designed to transfer power from the engine to the transmission during normal operations and to transfer drive from the transmission to the tail rotor system during autorotation. The main driveshaft rotates at 6016 RPM at 100% N2. The helicopter uses the Kaflex driveshaft, which provides a flexible drive coupling between the freewheeling unit and transmission. This flexing allows for the smooth transfer of torque when the transmission and freewheeling unit are not aligned. The driveshaft is made up of three rectangular plate sets in each coupling. Each coupling can be considered a truss work in which torque loads are carried as axial loads through the straight members of each plate. Preflight inspection consists of checking the flex frames for cracks and for condition and security.

1-30-D. TRANSMISSION OIL SYSTEM


The transmission oil system (Figure 1-16) includes a pump, a pressure regulating valve, an oil cooler, a filter element, and two spray jets. The pump is a constant volume type driven by the accessory gear, which delivers pressurized oil externally to the filter and housing assembly, cooler, and then returns it to the main transmission where spray jets lubricate the internal parts. A sight glass is located on the right side of the main transmission lower case where the oil level can be easily checked. A non-vented filter cap is located on the transmission top case. The oil system also provides lubrication for the freewheeling assembly mounted in the engine accessory gearcase. Pressurized oil is delivered from the transmission into a T-fitting on the cabin roof. Oil flowing out of the left side of the fitting is reduced in pressure and is utilized to lubricate the freewheeling unit. Oil flowing out o f t h e r i g h t s i d e o f th e f it t i n g d e l i v e r s regulated pressure into the transmission oil pressure gauge and into the oil pressure switch for the TRANS OIL PRESS caution light. The oil pump, rotor tachometer generator, and hydraulic pump are mounted together on the forward side of the transmission. The accessory drive gear drives these components using a 1.42 to 1 ratio.

BHT-206L4-MD-1 The pump output is between 6.0 to 6.7 gallons per minute (22.7 to 25.4 L/min). The pressure is regulated by the transmission oil pressure regulator valve and is set at 50 to 55 PSI. The pump scavenges oil from the lower case sump through a wire screen and the lower chip detector. Oil is then directed to the transmission oil filter assembly. The transmission oil pressure regulating valve, which is located on the left rear corner of the lower case, is used to adjust the oil pressure to normal operating limits and to relieve excess oil pressure back into the transmission case. The transmission oil filter and housing assembly, which is mounted on the aft side of the transmission, has a filter element, bypass i n d i c a t o r, b y p a s s v a l v e , t h e r m o s ta t , temperature bulb, and a temperature switch. The filter element, which is contained in the lower housing of the oil filter assembly, is a disposable, pleated paper element. The oil filter bypass indicator, which is located on the filter housing above the filter element, incorporates a spring-loaded magnet that is ported to the bypass valve. If the bypass valve opens due to a clogged filter element or extreme cold temperatures, the indicator button will extend to indicate an impe ndin g bypas s. The b ypass v alve assembly will open when excessive back pressure is caused by either a clogged filter element or extreme cold temperatures. It will then allow oil to bypass the filter element and to be directed to the thermostat and oil cooler. The tempe ra tu re bulb is located on the forward side of the filter housing and is electrically connected to the oil temperature indicator in the instrument panel. The transmission oil temperature switch is lo ca te d on th e oil fi lter h o us ing an d is electrically connected to the TRANS OIL TEMP caution light segment. When the oil temperature reaches 110C, the temperature switch will close and illuminate the caution light segment. The TRANS OIL PRESS caution

MANUFACTURERS DATA The oil cooler blower is mounted aft of the engine firewall on the helicopter structure and supplies air to the engine and transmission oil cooler. The cooler blower shaft is mounted on two sealed bearings and is connected to the forward and the aft short shafts. It passes through the blower assembly housing, and the blower impeller is bolted to the shaft. This shaft is part of the tail rotor driveshaft system and is used to power the blower. During normal operation, oil flows from the transmission to the cooler and back to the transmission. Two transmission oil cooler drain valves (pressure line/return line) are located inside the baggage compartment to allow for the draining of the transmission oil cooler when transmission oil is changed.

BHT-206L4-MD-1 The up stops mounted on the drag pins restrict the vertical movement of the transmission and all oscillatory movement. Tuning weights, which are bolted to the arm and flexure assemblies, provide for the fine-tuning and balance of the transmission mounting system. The arm and flexure assembly is the primary nodal beam component that isolates main rotor and transmission vibrations from the f u s e l a g e . T h e n o d a l b e a m i n s ta l l a t i o n develops a standing wave form to reduce fuselage vibrations throughout the helicopter's speed range. The arm assemblies are manufactured from aluminum alloy and are bushing-mounted to the fore and aft support assemblies. The flexure assembly, which is contained between the two arm assemblies, consists of a laminated elastomer flexure, shims, and shear pads bonded into metal brackets. Tellurium lead tuning weights, which are located on the end of the arm assemblies adjacent to the flexure, provide a method for tuning the nodal beam installation. The forward and aft support assemblies, which are manufactured from aluminum alloy, contain bonded elastomeric bearing and bushing members to isolate the arm and flexure assemblies from the fuselage.

1-30-E. TRANSMISSION MOUNTS


The transmission, mast, main rotor hub, and the blade assembly are supported by and isolated from the fuselage by means of the transmission mounts (nodal beam) and transmission restraint (Figure 1-14). This is accomplished through the use of four link attachments and two stop mounts bolted to the transmission. Attached to these are four link assemblies, which are secured to the four supports and the flexure assemblies. The support assemblies are bolted to the cabin roof shell and cabin roof beam. The support assemblies contain elastomeric bearing and bushing members to isolate and balance vibration inputs from the rotor into the flexure assemblies. These assemblies are the primary vibration-isolating component that dampens the 2/rev vibration from the rotor system from being transmitted into the cabin, providing for a vibration free ride throughout the helicopter's speed range. The transmission restraint restricts movement of the transmission through the use of an elastomeric bearing and bushing member secured to the transmission restraint support. This support is then bolted to the cabin roof shell and cabin roof beam along with two drag pins. The two stop mounts bolted to the transmission are installed over the drag pins.

1-30-F. TRANSMISSION RESTRAINT


The transmission restraint (Figure 1-14) is an elastomeric spring assembly enclosed in a steel housing. The restraint is secured in an isolation support that is mounted to the cabin roof beam. This restraint restricts forward, aft, and lateral transmission movement. The f o r w a r d a r m s o f t h e r e s t r a i n t c o n ta i n teflon-lined spherical bearings that are attached to the stop mounts, which in turn are secured to the transmission. The transmission is further restrained through the stop mounts by means of the up stops and drag pins.

T h e t w o s t e e l s t o p m o u n ts , w h i c h a r e attached to the lower a ft p ortion of the transmission case, limit vertical and oscillatory movement of the transmission. The two steel drag pins limit the oscillatory movement of the transmission through the stop mounts. Vertical restraint is limited by the up stops, which consist of a bonded upper and lower disc in contact with the stop mounts.

T h e p i tc h c h a n g e bearings are housed in the grips and are grease lubricated. The change in blade pitch angle is accomplished by rotating the grips on the yoke with an input at the pitch horns. The blades are attached to the grips with bolts which have hollow shanks that are used to install weight for static and dynamic balance o f t h e h u b a n d b l a d e a s s e m b l y. B l a d e alignment is accomplished by adjustment of the blade latches which engage the root end of the blade. The trunnion mates the rotor system to the mast, transmits drive to the yoke assembly, and serves as a pivot point for the rotor flapping axis. The yoke supports the main rotor system. It has two hollow and preconed journals to relieve stresses. Each journal has the hollow bore especially machined at the outboard end to fit a seal assembly, and the inboard end is machined to fit the tension-torsion (T-T) strap end fitting. The T-T strap, which consists of stainless steel wire wrapped around two steel ends, provides a connection between the grips and yoke. During rotor feathering, the flexibility of the strap allows the grip bearings to rotate on the yoke journals. The grip assembly is the structural member between the yoke and the main rotor blades. The outboard end of each grip has a machined hole for the blade retention bolt, and the grip body has drilled tangs to fit the blade latch bolt that retains the outboard end of the T-T strap.

1-30-G. MAIN ROTOR MAST


The main rotor mast (Figure 1-14) is attached to the transmission by means of a mast locking plate and studs in the top of the transmission case. The mast is a hollow, steel shaft that transmits rotational energy from the transmission to the rotor system. It has three sets o f sp lines a nd two threaded areas incorporated into its design. The upper spline is master splined to correctly position the main rotor trunnion. The swashplate drive splines, located in the mid portion of the mast, are machined to receive a collar set to which the swashplate drive link is attached. The lower splines are the drive splines where the rotational energy from the transmission is transmitted to the mast from the planetary gearing. The upper portion of the mast is threaded to receive the mast retaining nut.

1-31. MAIN ROTOR SYSTEM


The main rotor system (Figure 1-14) is a semi rigid, underslung hub, feathering axis rotor with two metal blades. The hub assembly is attached to the mast by means of a splined trunnion that also functions as the rotor flapping axis. The flapping bearings are grease lubricated roller bearings that assemble into the pillow block housing that is attached to the yoke and also serves to provide hub centering provisions together with the trunnion. The yoke serves as the pitch change axis, and the grips are attached 1-70Rev. 123 OCT 2008

1-31-A. MAIN ROTOR BLADES


The main rotor blades (Figure 1-14) have qualities of advanced aerodynamic efficiency, ruggedness, and simplicity. The blades have a

MANUFACTURERS DATA -11 twist and an airfoil characterized by a significant positive camber to the first 1/3 of the chord length and by the flat symmetrical surfaces of the aft 2/3. Through the use of a droop-snoot airfoil section, rotor blade efficiency is significantly improved compared to symmetrical blade shapes. A wide thrust margin for maneuverability and high efficiency in a hover are, in part, the result of this airfoil design. It is an all metal bonded assembly consisting of three structural members: an aluminum spar, spar closure, and a trailing edge strip. Skins, stabilized by honeycomb core, are bonded to the major section by adhesive applied under heat and pressure. Reinforcing doublers, grip plates, and drag plates are bonded to the blade butt end. The basic portion of the blade has a 13.026 inch (33.09 cm) chord. The flap restraint is installed on the main rotor hub trunnion and incorporates counterweights and springs which serve to limit flapping freedom during starting and shutdown, but permit normal flapping at operating RPM.

BHT-206L4-MD-1 means of a splined adapter and the first tail rotor driveshaft segment. The segmented tail rotor driveshaft consists of five segments that extend along the top of the tailboom. Each segment of the drive system is identical and interchangeable with the others.

Seven hanger bearing assemblies (Figure 1-14) support the driveshafts and flexib le, s teel, d isc co uplin gs. Tho mas couplings are used to both connect the shaft sections and allow continued alignment with the tailboom.

1-32-B. TAIL ROTOR GEARBOX


The tail rotor gearbox (Figure 1-14), located on the aft end of the tailboom, drives the left side mounted tail rotor. It contains two spiral bevel gears positioned at 90 angles to the other. The direction of drive is changed 90 and there is a speed reduction of 2.35 to 1.0 at the gearbox to achieve an output shaft speed of 2550 RPM. The magnesium housing is attached to the tailboom by means of four bolts and two alignment pins. The assembly includes a breather type filler cap, oil level sight gauge, and a combination electrical chip detector and self-closing valve. The chip detector consists of a self-locking bayonet probe with a permanent magnet at the end. Free ferrous metal particles in the oil will be attracted to the magnet, and when sufficient metal is attracted to complete the circuit between pole and ground, the T/R CHIP detector segment on the caution panel will illuminate. The valve automatically closes and prevents loss of oil when the electric chip detector is removed for inspection. It also serves as a drain plug. 23 OCT 2008Rev. 11-71

1-33. TAIL ROTOR HUB AND BLADE ASSEMBLY


The tail rotor assembly (Figure 1-14) is a delta hinge type that consists of a hub and two interchangeable blades. The yoke of the hub is made with a 4 twist for each blade. The aluminum alloy forged yoke is attached to the tail rotor gearbox shaft by means of a splined trunnion inside the yoke to provide a flapping axis for the assembly. At the time of assembly, spanwise balance is accomplished by using washers on the blade bolts at the yoke, and chordwise balance is accomplished by using weights and washers on the trunnion bearing housing restraining bolts. The tail rotor blades are all metal assemblies consisting of a stainless steel shell reinforced by a honeycomb filler and stainless steel leading edge abrasive strip. Ballast stations, located at the inboard trailing edge and the tip of the blades, are provided for mass balance of the blades. Weights used in these locations are determined when the blade is manufactured. The blades are attached to the yoke by means of spherical bearings (this provides for pitch change of the blades) that are mounted in the grip plates of the blades on the pitch change axis. Connecting linkage consists of push-pull tubes, bellcranks, levers, and supports that connect the pilot and copilot (if installed) tail rotor control pedals to the tail rotor pitch change mechanism. Tail rotor pitch control is accomplished by means of bellcrank, rod, and lever assembly mounted on the tail rotor gearbox which actuates a control tube through the hollow output driveshaft to the crosshead and pitch links. 1-72Rev. 123 OCT 2008

1-34. MAIN ROTOR FLIGHT CONTROLS


The flight controls (Figure 1-17 through Figure 1-20) are mechanical linkages that are actuated by conventional controls and used to control flight attitude and direction. Both the cyclic (longitudinal and lateral) and the collective controls incorporate hydraulic servo actuators. A synchronized elevator is linked into the fore and aft controls at the cyclic torque tube. The flight controls are routed beneath the forward seats, aft to the vertical control column, then up to the cabin roof. The vertical control column also serves as a primary cabin structure. Access doors on the aft side of the control column and seat panels are provided for inspection of control components and maintenance accessibility. Dual controls are installed as an option to provide dual flight control capability either for operations requiring a pilot and a copilot or for pilot training operations. Installation of dual controls provides a collective stick, cyclic stick, and a tail rotor control pedal assembly for the copilot. The pilot and copilot co ntrols a re similar in a ppe ara nce a nd relative position and the control input to the rotor system is the same. The control feel for the copilot controls is the same as that for the pilot controls. T he copilot c ontrols are connected to the pilot controls by means of a jackshaft, control tubes, and electrical wiring. Quick disconnects are provided for the copilot collective and cyclic. Aluminum alloy c ontrol tubes are u sed throughout the collective, cyclic, and tail rotor control system. Some control tubes are fixed in length with bonded end fittings, while others may have adjustable fittings. Bellcranks, levers, and supports are used throughout the collective, cyclic, and tail rotor control systems. These parts transmit or control change movements in the particular system in which they are installed.

MANUFACTURERS DATA

BHT-206L4-MD-1 servo actuator to the swashplate collective lever. Collective pitch control is transmitted to the main rotor controls by vertical movement of the swashplate. The servo actuator is mounted on a support, which is located on the cabin roof directly forward of the transmission, along with two servo actuators for the cyclic system. The collective stick is installed to the left of the pilot seat, and it extends upward and f o r w a r d t h r o u g h a f l e x i b l e c o v e r. T h e collective jackshaft provides a mounting point for the collective stick. An adjustable friction bearing mounted on the jackshaft allows the pilot to adjust the friction to his own requirements. A minimum friction adjustment clamp located at the left end of the jackshaft ensures that the collective stick will always have a preset minimum friction to eliminate collective bounce. The collective trunnion and lever is installed between the collective jackshaft and control tube. It ties the collective controls to the mixing lever of the cyclic controls. When the collective stick is moved to change rotor pitch, the cyclic control servo actuators and linkage will move to maintain the swashplate in its relative plane. For helicopters with dual controls, the copilot collective stick is installed at the left of the copilot seat with a fully functioning throttle control. A quick disconnect feature permits rapid removal of the copilot collective stick. A spring pin assembly is provided to ensure positive engagement of the stick.

1-34-A. CYCLIC FLIGHT CONTROLS


The cyclic flight controls (Figure 1-17) consist of a control stick, torque tube, yoke, hydraulic servo actuators, control tubes, and bellcranks. Movement of the control stick is transmitted through linkage and hydraulic servo actuators to the swashplate, which actuates the rotating controls to the main rotor. Servo actuators are incorporated to minimize the effort required to move the controls and to reduce main rotor feedback forces. The cyclic stick extends upward and forward from the front of the pilot seat. The torque tube connects to the cyclic stick support and provides a mounting point for the elevator controls. The cyclic system yoke extends aft from the cyclic stick support and jackshaft. Movement of the cyclic stick is transmitted to the mixing lever by means of the yoke. This mixing lever transmits cyclic movement to the swashplate through mechanical linkage and servo actuators. A balance spring is used in the system to minimize the cyclic stick mass imbalance forces and elevator induced forces in the longitudinal control system. For helicopters with dual controls, the copilot cyclic stick is installed in front of the copilot seat with all VFR control functions. A quick disconnect feature permits rapid removal of th e s tic k . If th e el ec tr ic al c o nn e c to r is disconnected, an adapter must be installed to pro vide circuit continuity. A spring pin assembly is provided to ensure positive engagement of the stick.

Alternate pedals may also be installed which allow the copilot to manually adjust the position of the pedal foot rests. Connecting linkage consists of push-pull tubes, bellcranks, levers, and supports that connect the pilot tail rotor control pedals to the tail rotor pitch change mechanism. Tail rotor pitch control is accomplished by means of bellcrank, rod, and lever assembly mounted on the tail rotor gearbox which actuates a control tube through the hollow rotor driveshaft to the crosshead and pitch links.

1-34-E. VERTICAL CONTROL COLUMN


The flight controls are routed beneath the pilot and passenger seats aft to the vertical control column then up to the cabin roof. This control column also serves as a primary cabin support structure. Access panels on the aft side of the column, the bottom of the helicopter, and seat panels are provided for i n s p e c t i o n o f c o n t r o l c o m p o n e n ts a n d maintenance accessibility. The cyclic controls are mixed with collective control through the mixing lever bellcrank located at the base of the control column.

1-34-D. TAIL ROTOR DIRECTIONAL CONTROLS


The tail rotor directional controls (Figure 1-20) include the control pedal assembly, pedal adjuster, control tubes, bellcranks, damper assembly, and a pitch control mechanism mounted through the tail rotor gearbox shaft. Moving the pedals causes pitch change in the tail rotor blades to offset the main rotor torque and to control the directional heading of the helicopter. The tail rotor control pedals mounted on the pilot's compartment deck are connected under the center console to a bellcrank pedal adjuster, which provides for manual adjustment of pedal position according to the pilot's needs. Alternate pedals may also be installed which allow the pilot to manually adjust the position of the pedal foot rests. For helicopters with dual controls, the copilot fully fu nc tion al ta il ro tor co ntr ol ped al assembly is installed on the floor in front of the copilot seat to provide a means for the copilot to control the tail rotor assembly. The control pedals are linked to the pilot pedals by

BHT-206L4-MD-1 The collective lever and link assembly is mounted to the swashplate support assembly and transfers collective inputs to the lower swashplate. Movement of the collective pitch lever actuates the collective sleeve assembly that in turn raises or lowers the swashplate and transmits collective input to the main rotor. The swashplate drive assembly consists of a collar set, idler drive link, and idler lever. The collar set is attached to the mast and the idler drive link is attached to the outer ring of the swashplate. This connects the upper swashplate to the mast, causing it to rotate with the mast. The pitch link assemblies connect the pitch horns on the blade grips to the swashplate which transmits control input from both the collective and cyclic controls.

MANUFACTURERS DATA pressurized hydraulic fluid flows to the three servo actuators (Figure 1-23). When it is energized (switch OFF), the pressurized hydraulic fluid is directed back to the reservoir and bypasses the three servo actuators. In case of a total electrical failure, the system is fail-safe ON (no electrical power = hydraulics ON). The cyclic and collective servo actuator support is installed on the cabin roof forward of the transmission. It serves as a mount for the three servo actuators and associated bellcranks. The collective servo actuator is mounted in the center position and the two cyclic servo actuators are mounted on the outboard positions. The hydraulic reservoir and cover are constructed from magnesium alloy. The reservoir is mounted on a brace and support forward of the main transmission. The hydraulic system has no specific cooling system. Heat is dissipated from the hoses and lines as air circulates beneath the forward cowling (radiation cooling to the atmosphere).

1-34-G. DUAL CONTROLS


Installation of dual controls provides a collective, cyclic, and a tail rotor control pedal assembly for the copilot. The copilot controls are connected to the pilot controls by means of the jackshaft, control tubes, and electrical wiring. Quick disconnects are provided for the collective and cyclic. The copilot controls do not provide electrical cargo release, flight idle stop, throttle bezel marking, starter switch, or landing light controls.

MANUFACTURERS DATA differential pressure across the filter is 70 10 PSI, the red button will rise. To prevent inacc urate ind ic atio ns o f clogg in g, the indicator will not work when the hydraulic fluid temperature is less than 2C (35F). The return line filter incorporates a bypass valve. If the filter element in the return line becomes clogged, the bypass valve will open and allow fluid to bypass the filter and return to the reservoir. 1-35-A-4. PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE

The hydraulic solenoid valve (Figure 1-22) is mounted on the cabin roof forward of the hydraulic pump and reservoir. The valve is electrically closed and is controlled by the HYDRAULIC SYSTEM switch on the m i s c e l l a n e o u s pa n e l ( F i g u r e 1 - 4 ) . T h e electrical circuit is protected by a 5-amp HYDR SYSTEM circuit breaker on the overhead console. Because the valve must have electrical power to close, the system is referred to as fail-safe ON. When the switch is turned off, hydraulic fluid bypasses the servos and returns to the hydraulic reservoir. 1-35-A-3. HYDRAULIC FILTERS

The hydraulic filters (Figure 1-22) are installed on a bracket on the forward right side of the cabin roof near the main transmission. Each filter assembly contains a filter indicator that indicates an impending clogged filter. The indicator consists of a red button mounted on t h e f i lt e r a s s e m b ly h o u s in g . W h e n t h e

The pressure relief valve (Figure 1-22) is installed forward of the transmission and on the left side of the cyclic and collective servo actuator support. During normal operations, the relief valve is in the closed position. If system pressure should increase to 1075 to 1375 PSI, the valve will open to prevent damage to the system by returning excess pressure into the return side of the solenoid valve. The valve will close when pressure returns to normal.
