landing gear dampers act as springs and shock absorbers to cushion land ings and provide ground resonance stability. Provisions for ground handling wheels are incorporated on the skid tubes. Helicopter interior: The standard MD 520N requires a minimum crew of one pilot seated on the left side of the cockpit. The passengers sit to the right, abreast of the pilot. Seat belts are provided for all positions. An instrument panel is located forward of the seat at the aircraft center line. The panel incorporates standard flight and engine instruments in addi tion to warning and caution lights. The panel also contains adequate space provisions for various arrangements of communication and navigation equip ment. Seat belts are provided with several styles being offered. The seats and belts are easily removed. Cargo compartment benchtype seats may be easi ly folded out of the way or completely removed for accommodating cargo. During cargo carrying operations, the compartment floor serves as the cargo deck. Removable and interchangeable cargo tiedown fittings are available. Four doors are installed on the helicoptertwo on each side. The two for ward doors permit access to the forward compartment for pilot and passen gers. The two aft doors allow entry to the passenger/cargo compartment. Transparent tinted windows are contained in the doors. Powerplant: The power plant used is the Allison Model 250C20R/2 gas turbine engine with a takeoff power rating of 450 shp. Only 425 shp at 100 percent N2 RPM is used for takeoff; 375 maximum continuous shp provides sufficient power for all other flight modes. Limiting the maximum power to less than the maximum rated power pro vides a higher engine critical altitude. The power turbine governor provides automatic constant speed control of rotor RPM. Drive System: The overrunning clutch transmits power from the engine to the main drive shaft. The clutch has no external controls and disengages automatically dur ing autorotation and engine shutdown. The main drive shaft connects to the main rotor transmission input shaft. The engine oil cooler blower is belt driven off the main drive shaft. The oil cooler blower draws cooling air from the air inlet fairing to supply ambient air to the engine and transmission oil coolers and to the engine compartment. The main rotor transmission is mounted on the basic airframe structure above the passenger/cargo compartment. The transmission is lubricated by its own air cooled lubrication system. The main rotor static mast is nonrotating and is rigidly mounted to the mast support structure. The rotor hub is supported by the rotor mast.

Torque is transmitted independently to the rotor through the main rotor drive shaft. Lifting loads are prevented from being imposed onto the main transmission eliminating thrust loading of transmission parts. Anti Torque System: The NOTARR system is an antitorque system made up of an enclosed fan driven by the main rotor transmission through the aft transmission, a circu lation control tailboom, directjet thruster, and horizontal stabilizer with two vertical stabilizers. The left vertical stabilizer is connected to the pilots antitorque pedals. It operates similar to an airplane rudder. The stabilizer moves through ap proximately 29 degrees of motion, and is moveable to provide sufficient con trol power in an autorotation and to unload the thruster in forward flight for optimum cruise performance. A Yaw Stability Augmentation System (YSAS) controls the right vertical stabilizer and is driven by a small elec tromechanical actuator mounted within the horizontal stabilizer. The right stabilizer moves through approximately 15 degrees of motion. Signals for the yaw SAS are obtained from a yaw rate gyro and lateral accelerometer mounted under the right pilot seat. The YSAS is installed to enhance han dling qualities. In forward flight the vertical stabilizers in conjunction with the directjet thruster provide the required antitorque and directional control. Main rotor system: The helicopter utilizes a five bladed, fully articulated main rotor assembly with unique features. While contemporary helicopters use torsion tension straps in lieu of thrust bearing stacks to contain blade centrifugal loading and allow feathering, the MDHS strap pack arrangement goes three steps further. First, the strap configuration (while secured firmly to the hub) ac tually allows the centrifugal load exerted by one blade to be countered by the force exerted by the opposite two blades. Thus, very light centrifugal loads are sensed by the hub. Second, the Vlegs of the strap pack rotate as driving members to turn the blades. Finally the straps are configured to al low feathering and flapping of the blades. The main rotor blades are se cured to the hub with quick release lever type pins. Flight controls: Cyclic, collective, and adjustable pedal controls are provided at the left crew position (right position, military only). Adjustable friction devices, which may be varied to suit the individual pilot, are incorporated in the cyclic, col lective and throttle controls. In addition, electrical cyclic trim actuators al low flight loads to be trimmed out. Since stick control forces are low, a hy draulic boost system is unnecessary. An optional dual control system may be easily removed to provide room for passengers or cargo.

NOTE: In the event of a NR or N1 tach generator failure, the RE IGN P RST caution light
will illuminate and the continuous duty ignition exciter will remain energized until the engine is shut down or the auto reignition system is disarmed. The reignition system is armed under all operating conditions. Following any activation of the automatic reignition system as a result of flameout due to snow, ice, or water ingestion, inspect the engine in accordance with the appropriate Allison 250C20R/2 Operation and Maintenance Manual. Yawing of the helicopter may or may not follow an engine flameout and reigni tion sequence. Magnitude of the yaw will depend on forward speed and power being used. Failure or deactivation of the ENGINE OUT/low rotor waring system, renders the reignition system inoperative.

Cold weather operations: Fuels must meet antiicing capability of JP4 when operating at 4C (40F) or less. The 250C20R/2 (SP) engine does not require fuel antiice additives above fuel temperatures of 30 F (34C). However the continued use of antiice additives under all temperature conditions is recommended to provide addi tional protection against fuel system icing and microbiological contamina tion. Fuel filter: Upon completion of the flight in progress, further flight is prohibited until the fuel filter has been serviced following the illumination of the FUEL FILTER caution light. Fuel system purging: Further flight is prohibited until the fuel system is purged (see HMI) following: Engine flameout caused by fuel exhaustion. Draining fuel from antiice fuel filter (if installed) without the start pump on. Engine shutdown using emergency fuel shutoff valve. Motoring the engine without fuel in the fuel tank.

Left yaw (due to a reduction in torque) Drop in engine speed. Drop in rotor speed. Change in noise level.
NOTE: The amount of yaw is dependent upon the amount of torque at the moment of
power loss. High torque will cause a large yaw while low torque will cause a relatively small yaw.
WARNING adjusting collective to maintain rotor RPM within limits, then check
engine instruments and other indications to confirm engine trouble. Conditions: The failure indicators are actuated when N1 falls below 55% or NR falls below 453 NR (Ref. 95 1% N2). Procedures: Engine Failure In Cruise at 500 Feet AGL or Above
F
Adjust collective pitch according to altitude and airspeed to maintain rotor speed between 410 and 508 RPM. Apply pedal pressure as necessary to control aircraft yaw. Adjust cyclic control as necessary to control airspeed and flight path. Al low airspeed to stabilize at 129 Knots IAS or lower (refer to VNE plac ards).
F F
NOTE: At airspeeds above maximum autorotational VNE (129 KIAS or less Ref. Section II
VNE Placards), use aft cyclic to maintain aircrafts attitude and slow to desired airspeed as collective pitch is lowered. Increase collective as necessary after entering autorotation to prevent rotor overspeed. If desired, operate at minimum rotor speed to reduce rate of descent and/or extend glide distance. The minimum rate of descent with power off will be attained at 60 KIAS and 410 NR. FAA Approved Original
33
CSP520N1
The maximum glide distance with power off will be attained at 80 KIAS and 410 NR. Glide distances attained during an actual engine out autorotation may be less than the glide distances achieved during practice autorotations when operating at reduced RPM (N2/NR needles joined).
F
After confirming complete loss of power, time and altitude permitting, place twistgrip in cutoff and close fuel shutoff valve. Select landing area and maneuver as required. If operating at reduced rotor RPM to extend glide or reduce rate of de scent, restore rotor RPM by lowering collective prior to flare out. Flare as required for the terrain to reduce forward speed and rate of de scent. Level aircraft before ground contact. Touch down in a level attitude, increasing collective pitch to cushion land ing. Avoid the use of aft cyclic or rapid lowering of the collective pitch during initial ground contact or any subsequent ground slide.

CSP520N1
Procedures: Engine Failure Above 12 Feet and Below 500 Feet AGL The Height Velocity Diagram (Ref. Section V) depicts the combinations of air speeds vs. altitudes wherein a successful autorotation landing can be made in the event of an engine failure. Flight within the crosshatched regions repre sent airspeed/altitude combinations from which a successful autorotation land ing may be difficult to perform. Operation within the crosshatched area should be undertaken with caution.
F
In the event of a power failure during takeoff/low level flight, the collec tive pitch must be initially lowered to maintain rotor speed. The amount and duration of collective reduction depends upon the airspeed and height above the ground at which the power loss occurs. As the ground is approached, flare as required to reduce forward speed and rate of descent. Touch down in a level attitude, increasing collective pitch to cushion land ing. Avoid the use of aft cyclic or rapid lowering of the collective during initial ground contact or during ground slide.
Do not reduce collective pitch. Apply right pedal to prevent yawing. Increase collective pitch as necessary to cushion landing.
Turning the start pump ON may smooth out an erratic operating engine and/or restore power enabling the pilot to fly to a favorable landing area. However, do NOT disregard the need to land. If possible, fly at reduced power to the nearest safe landing area and land as soon as possible. Be prepared for a complete power loss at any time. FAA Approved Original

37. FIRE
The safety of the helicopter occupants is the primary consideration when a fire occurs. Therefore, if airborne, it is imperative that the pilot maintain control of the aircraft and land immediately. If the fire occurs on the ground or upon landing from an inflight fire, it is essential that the engine be shut down, crew and passengers evacuated and fire fighting begun immediately. If the situation permits, a MAYDAY radio call should be made before electrical power is OFF to expedite assistance from fire fighting and rescue personnel. Indications: A pilot must rely on his senses to detect fire on board the aircraft. The sound of electrical arcing, the smell of burning insulation, or the sighting of smoke and/or flame are all possible indicators of an on board fire. Also, the pilot may be notified of an on board fire by personnel outside the aircraft via visual or audio communication methods. At unprepared landing sites, dried grass or brush may catch fire if allowed to contact hot engine exhaust.
CAUTION
Procedures: Cabin Smoke and Fume Elimination Smoke and fume accumulation in the cabin can impede the pilots ability to maintain control of the aircraft and execute a safe landing. To protect the pilot and passengers from the effects of toxic fumes and smoke, ventilate the cabin: OFF OPEN OPEN AND FACING AFT
CAUTION
Cabin heat (if source of smoke is the cabin heat duct) Fresh air vent Pilot/Cabin door vents
F F
NOTE: If necessary, open pilots door (airspeed below 129 KIAS) to expedite smoke and
fume evacuation. Door will stabilize open a few inches in forward flight.
39
CSP520N1
A thorough preflight passenger briefing is essential for a quick and safe evacuation of passengers and crew when fire is involved. How to release seat belts, the opening of doors, the proper exiting of the helicopter keeping head and hands low to avoid the main rotor, are all critical to insure the safety of passengers and crew.
Pilots should be familiar with the operating instruction and hazards associated with the particular type of fire extinguisher installed in their aircraft. Classes (type) of fire for which it is approved, operating instructions, and hazards associated with its use are listed on the extinguisher. Use of a fire extinguisher on a cabin fire while still airborne is NOT recommended and should only be considered after all other means to extinguish and control the fire have been tried. The pilots first responsibility is to fly the helicopter and land immediately. Once on the ground, with passengers and crew evacuated, attention can be turned to extinguishing the fire. If a fire extinguisher is discharged in the cabin, use only the amount of extinguishing agent necessary to extinguish the fire. This will minimize the adverse effects of the particular agent being used in a confined and occupied space. Ventilate the cabin area as soon as possible after extinguishing the fire. Use extreme caution when attempting to extinguish an aircraft fire disregarded!
WARNING on the ground. The possibility of an explosion should not be ENGINE FIRE ON THE GROUND
Conditions: Engine fire during starting
An engine fire during start could be caused by an overloading of fuel in the combustion chamber and a delayed ignition of the fuel resulting in flame emanating from the engine exhaust. This condition is normally accompanied by a rapid rise in TOT. To extinguish the fire: Procedures:

Indications: Failure is indicated by an instrument needle fluctuation. A rise or drop of: N1 N2/NR TOT Torque Conditions: Failure Producing an Overspeed. Indications: Engine torque, TOT, N1 and N2/NR, suddenly increasing. Possible right yaw. Procedures:
F
Increase collective to load the main rotor, simultaneously rolling the twist grip toward the ground idle position until control of N2 speed is obtained. Manually control N2 speed (99100%) with the pilots twistgrip. If operating RPM cannot be controlled, close twistgrip to CUTOFF and make an autorotational landing. Immediate pilot action is necessary because engine torque, TOT, N2, and rotor rpm may suddenly increase above approved limits. When shutting down the engine, do not reduce collective pitch until the rotor rpm has decreased to within the normal operating range.

YSAS MALFUNCTION
Indications: YSAS malfunctions are normally indicated by a one inch shift in pedal trim position or aircraft oscillations in the yaw axis. Procedures:
F F
If YSAS malfunction is suspected, turn off the YSAS switch. Continue to monitor aircraft response. If the malfunction persists, pull the YSAS circuit breaker.
ONE WAY LOCK FAILURE NOTE: The oneway lock assembly is a selfcontained hydraulic unit that prevents aft
feedback forces in the longitudinal cyclic control system. Indications: Aft feedback in the cyclic at high airspeed and/or during pull ups from high airspeed or higher than normal forces required to move the cyclic longitudinally.
NOTE: If the oneway lock has a push rod shaft or check valve seizure in the closed
valve position, a pull or push of 10 to 20 pounds will be necessary to open the hydraulic relief valve and bypass the check valve. This additional pull or push will be required for each subsequent longitudinal movement of the cyclic stick. Temporary forces as high as 40 pounds may be experienced when flying in turbulence. Procedures:
F F
Reduce airspeed to 100 KIAS or less. Limit cyclic movement to those movements required to safely fly the heli copter. Abnormal or extreme control inputs are not necessary.
320
CSP520N1
WARNING confronted with any type of trim motor or switch malfunction. The
Establish a safe flight condition that produces the least cyclic control force. Normally straight and level at the last trimmed airspeed. Actuate the trim switch thru all positions in an attempt to restore trim capability and determine the extent of trim failure. If restored, trim to a near neutral position and land as soon as practical avoiding further trim ming. If trim failure is determined to be in all directions, and control of the he licopter can be maintained safely, check/reset TRIM circuit breaker. Land as soon as practical if unable to reestablish full cyclic trim control with the pilots cyclic.
321
CSP520N1
Conditions: Runaway trim Indications: An uncommanded longitudinal or lateral cyclic trim actuation. The cyclic may move to a full travel position or some intermediate position resulting in cyclic forces up to the maximum. Uncommanded movement can occur after cyclic trim switch actuation or as a result of an electrical short.
NOTE: Runaway cyclic trim failures can produce cyclic stick forces of approximately 30
pounds in the direction of the runaway. Although the forces required to move the cyclic will be higher than normal, the helicopter will respond normally to all cyclic inputs by the pilot. Procedures:
F
Establish a safe flight condition that produces the least cyclic control force.
Utilize left hand and legs, as necessary, to apply pressure against the cy clic stick to relieve the right hand loads and conserve strength for land ing. Use collective friction to prevent unwanted collective movement and associated power change. Be prepared to respond to any emergency re quiring the use of collective pitch. Actuate the trim switch thru all positions, several times if necessary, as this will generally reestablish trimming capability. When restored, trim to a near neutral position and land as soon as practical avoiding further trimming. If trim runaway is to the full forward position, accomplish landing into the wind and do not hover downwind in winds in excess of 15 knots.

Above 50 knots and 50foot altitude above terrain, select N2 between 99 and 100 percent for best comfort level. Use engine antiicing when OAT is below 5C (41F) and visible moisture conditions prevail.
Avoid extreme aircraft attitudes and maneuvers at low speeds. Uncoordinated turns/maneuvers may cause fuel starvation with
Controllability during downwind hovering, sideward and rearward flight has been demonstrated to be adequate in winds of up to 17 knots. Observe the crosshatched regions of Height Velocity Diagram
NOTE: Maneuvers that require large, rapid applications of collective pitch or antitorque
control may cause overshoots of torque and/or TOT limitations, especially when operating at or near maximum gross weight.
422
CAUTION
Do not perform intentional full touchdown autorotation with blade tracking reflectors installed on blade tips.
Make practice autorotation landings as follows: For autorotation descent, the twistgrip should be in the full open or ground idle position. However, if a practice autorotation landing (minimum engine power) is desired, rotate the twistgrip to the ground idle position. Increase collective pitch after establishing autorotation to prevent rotor overspeed if flight is at high gross weight or high density altitude. To re duce rate of descent or to extend gliding distance, operate at minimum rotor rpm. Restore ROTOR RPM (NR) by lowering collective prior to flareout. If a power recovery is desired, lower collective to full down, rotate the twistgrip to the full open position, verify that N2 is between 99 and 100 percent and that full engine power is available prior to increasing collective. Conduct practice autorotation at 129 knots IAS or below (see VNE placards). Maintain rotor between 410 and 508 by use of the collective control. Maximum gliding distance is obtained at 80 knots and 410 rotor rpm. Minimum rate of descent is obtained at 60 knots and 410 rotor rpm.
NOTE: Glide distances attained during an actual engine out autorotation may be less
than the glide distances achieved during practice autorotations when operating at reduced RPM (N2/NR needles joined). Touchdown in a level attitude. Avoid use of aft cyclic control or rapid lowering of collective pitch during initial ground contact or during ground slide.
423
Autorotation RPM: Normal rotor RPM (collective fully down) is 4855 RPM at 2516 pounds gross weight at sea level, 60 knots. Rotor speed will decrease approximately 7 RPM for each 100 pound reduction in gross weight and increase approxi mately 6 RPM for each 1000 foot increase in density altitude. For gross weights greater than 2516 pounds, increase collective control as required to maintain approximately 485 RPM.
Any object that is not properly secured may exit the aircraft
Items secured with Velcro (i.e., first aid kit, seat cushions) should not be considered properly secured. Secure or stow in the baggage compartment all loose equipment. Secure or remove unoccupied seat cushions. Use ear protection.
424
CAUTION
Care should be taken when rotating the twistgrip to the ground idle position and from ground idle to the cutoff position if the helicopter is parked on a icy or slippery surface (helicopter may spin in direction of main rotor blade rotation).
NOTE: Shut down the engine before exiting the helicopter unless safety or operational
considerations dictate otherwise.

CAUTION
Safe operation of the helicopter always has the highest priority. Utilize the following procedures only when they will not conflict with safe helicopter operation.
Certain flight procedures are recommended to minimize noise impact on sur rounding areas. It is imperative that every pilot subject the public to the least possible noise while flying the helicopter. Takeoff: Takeoff using maximum takeoff power at the speed for best rate of climb (Ref. Section V). Proceed away from noise sensitive areas. If takeoff must be made over noise sensitive area, distance (altitude) is best form of noise suppression. Cruise: Maintain 1000 feet minimum altitude where possible. Maintain speed of no more than 110 knots over populated areas. Keep noise sensitive areas to left side of helicopter. Coordinated turns at around the speed for best rate of climb cause no ap preciable change in noise. Sharper turns reduce area exposed to noise. Approach: Use steepest glideslope consistent with passenger comfort and safety. Keep noise sensitive areas to left side of helicopter.

Height Velocity Diagram (Ref. Figure 54) Description Airspeed/altitude combinations to be avoided in the event of an engine failure during takeoff are shown in the heightvelocity diagram. Conditions The height velocity diagram is based on sea level, standard day condi tions, over a smooth hard surface at 3350 pounds gross weight. Use of Chart:
CAUTION
Observe the crosshatched regions of the Height Velocity Diagram. These represent airspeed/altitude combinations from which a successful autorotation landing would be difficult to perform. Operation within the crosshatched area is not prohibited, but should be avoided.
The recommended takeoff profile line shows the airspeed/altitude combina tions recommended for takeoff. The unmarked region represents the area in which safe autorotational land ings may be performed with average pilot skill and reaction time. Gross Weight Limits for Height Velocity Diagram (Ref. Figure 55) Description The gross weight limits for this chart show the reduction in gross weight required as a function of density altitude in order for the Height Velocity curve to apply. Use of Chart Use chart to determine gross weight at which Height Velocity curve will apply for other density altitudes above sea level. Example WANTED: Gross weight for Height Velocity Diagram KNOWN: Density altitude = 2000 feet METHOD: Enter left side of chart at 2000 feet density altitude.

CAUTION
Be sure to select the appropriate hover performance chart for the type of equipment installed on the helicopter. Figure numbers marked with an asterisk (*) indicate data pertinent to an installed optional equipment item.
The Hover Ceiling vs Gross Weight charts are based on the following: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Winds of less than 3 knots Takeoff power at 100 % N2 Cabin heat and engine antiice OFF Electrical load of 10 amps Engine exhaust stacks with extended deflectors
Controllability during downwind hovering, sideward and rearward flight has been demonstrated to be adequate in winds up to 17 knots.
NOTE: Momentary excursions into the transient TOT/torque power ranges may occur
when hovering in a right crosswind at higher density altitudes and/or heavy gross weights. Use of Chart: The following example explains the correct use of the chart in Figure 56. To determine the maximum gross weight for hovering at 3.0 ft skid height, the pilot must know the pressure altitude and the outside air temperature. Example: WANTED: Maximum gross weight for hover at 3.0 feet skid height at takeoff power. KNOWN: PA = 8000 feet; OAT = 25C (77F) METHOD: Select the appropriate chart and enter the chart at 8000 PA. Move horizontally across to the 25 OAT line. At this point, move direct ly down to the bottom of the chart and read off the gross weight scale 3000 pounds. This chart may also be used to determine maximum pressure altitude for hovering at 3.0 feet skid height if the gross weight and the outside air temperature are known. Enter the bottom of the chart at the known gross weight, move up to the known OAT, move left and read the maxi mum hover ceiling pressure altitude. FAA Approved Original

WARNING CAUTION
Do not exceed engine/aircraft limits. Accessories required for safe flight should be operated during each check. Maintain separation from objects in air or on the ground. Reset altimeter if required after obtaining pressure altitude.
Use of Chart: The primary use of the chart is illustrated by the example below and by the sample arrows shown on the chart. To determine power check values, it is necessary to read and record engine TORQUE PRESSURE, TURBINE OUTLET TEMPERATURE, PRESSURE ALTITUDE, and OAT while the he licopter is flown in level flight at 100 percent N2. First, an adjustment to the OAT should be made before entering the chart (add 2.5C if the data was taken in a hover or 1C if the data was taken in forward flight). FAA Approved Original
520
Example 1: WANTED: Check engine performance DATA OBTAINED DURING FLIGHT: Torque = 91.0 psig TOT = 750C PA = 1000 feet OAT = 19C Specification TOT (from chart): 760C Compare the specification TOT of 760C with the TOT observed during flight (750C for this example). The TOT that was observed is lower than the specification TOT. If the TOT observed had been higher than the specification TOT read from the chart, some power deterioration will have occurred and the performance data given in this manual may not be obtained. Example 2: WANTED: Check engine performance DATA OBTAINED DURING HOVERING: Torque = 42.0 psig TOT = 650C PA = 8000 feet OAT = 7.5C

Turn off electrical switches and disconnect any external power from defueling. Static discharge spark in presence of fuel vapors can cause fire or an explosion.
Cold weather fuels: Grade JP4 (MILT5624), grade JP5, and grade JP8 (MILT3133A, or later) type fuels contain antiice additive which conforms to MIL127686 (or later). These fuels do not require additional antiice additive. Cold weather fuel mixtures To assure consistent starts at temperatures at or below 4C (40F), a mixture of AVGAS and jet fuels (other than JP4 or Jet B) may be used. The alternate avgasjet fuel mixture is not recommended for warm weather operation. Refer to Allison Operation and Maintenance Manual for additional cold weather fuel mix and blending instructions. Filling: The fuel system has two fuel cells that are interconnected for simultaneous flow and venting. Refuel the helicopter with the proper fuel as soon after landing as possible to prevent moisture condensation. Keep fuel nozzle free of all foreign matter. Fuel tank servicing is through the cell filler neck on the right side of the fuselage. The right side fuel cell contains the gravity filler port and cap. Check filler cap for security after refueling.
712
CSP520N1
Fuel draining: Fuel draining should be accomplished with helicopter as level as possible. The fuel system may be defueled in two ways: One is to defuel through the filler port, using a pump. The other method is to open the drain valve on fuselage underside. The fuel cell drain valve is springloaded closed and is opened by depress ing an internal plunger. After defueling, be sure to check drain valve for leakage.
CAUTION
DO NOT use Mobil SHC 626 oil in the engine oil system.
Make certain that oil tank filler cap is secured after servicing.
NOTE: Indicated oil level may be incorrect if aircraft is not level or has been ground
handled in a taillow attitude since last flight. Replenish with correct oil until oil level is at the dashed lines above the ADD mark on sight gauge.
CAUTION
Mixing of oils within an oil series, not in the same group, is not recommended. If oils of different groups are mixed, flush and reservice gearbox. Mixing of oils from different series is prohibited.
NOTE: If oil was drained from transmission cooler, ground run helicopter for 15 minutes
after replenishing with oil and recheck oil level at sight gauge. Replenish oil as necessary. This purges air from the oil cooling system and ensures that entire oil cooling system is full. Fill main transmission by lifting breatherfiller cap and inserting funnel into opening. Check that springloaded cap closes when funnel is removed. FAA Approved Original
713
CSP520N1
Aft transmission: A liquid level sight gauge for checking oil level is located on the lower right hand side of the transmission housing (Ref. Figure 74). Check oil level by viewing sight gauge. Servicing of the aft transmission should be performed by maintenance per sonnel.
CAUTION
Some commercial cleaning agents, such as readily available household cleaners, contain chemicals that can cause corrosive action and/or leave residue that can result in corrosion. Examples of cleaning agents that are not to be used are Fantastic and 409 type cleaners, or locally made strong soap cleaners.
NOTE: If necessary, seat upholstery may be thoroughly dry-cleaned with solvent. When
complete dry cleaning is performed, upholstery must be reflameproofed to comply with Federal Aviation Regulation Part 27.
714
CSP520N1
CAUTION
Wash helicopter exterior, including fiberglass and composite components and rotor blades, when necessary, using a solution of clean water and mild soap.
NOTE: Avoid directing soapy or clean water concentrations toward engine air intake
area and instrument static ports. Clean surface stained with fuel or oil by wiping with soft cloth dampened by solvent, followed by washing with clean water and mild soap. Rinse washed areas with water and dry with soft cloth.
CAUTION
Never attempt to dry plastic panels with cloth. To do so causes any abrasive particles lying on plastic to scratch or dull surface. Wiping with dry cloth also builds up an electrostatic charge that attracts dust particles from air.
After dirt is removed from surface of plastic, rinse with clean water and let air dry or dry with soft, damp chamois. Clean inside surfaces of plastic panels by using aircraft type plastic cleaner and tissue quality paper towels.
715
CSP520N1
NOTE: On transmission input gear oil seals with less that 2 hours of operation, some
seepage or wetting of adjacent surfaces is normal until seal is wetted and wornin (seated). If seepage continues at rate of one drop per minute or less, seal may be continued in service. Check transmission oil level and observe seepage rate after every 2 hours of operation. Shorter inspection periods may be required if seal leakage appears to be increasing. Engine oil leaks: Refer to engine operating and maintenance manual for definition of permis sible engine oil leakage. Landing gear damper hydraulic fluid leaks: Hydraulic fluid leakage from any landing gear dampers is not permissible. If leakage is present, damper assembly should be overhauled as required and a serviceable unit installed. If leaking landing damper is not replaced when leakage is noticed, continuation of damper in service can cause inter nal damage that might not otherwise occur.
NOTE: It is normal for a thin hydraulic oil film to remain on damper piston as a result of
wiping contact with piston seal. Newly installed dampers may also have slight oil seepage from oil trapped in end cap threads during damper assembly. Neither of these should be considered damper leakage or cause from damper replacement.
716
CSP520N1
Start engine (Ref. Section IV). After idle stabilizes, accelerate engine to 100 percent N2. Operate until oil temperature shows an increase and ammeter reads zero. Shut down engine (Ref. Section IV). Replenish fuel as necessary. Open movable air vents in each cargo door; positioning air vent openings downward. Install covers and equipment used to park and moor helicopter. Install static ground. Before next flight: Remove covers and equipment used to park and moor helicopter. Perform daily preflight check (Ref. Section IV).

PART I GENERAL
The MDHI AntiIce Airframe Fuel Filter is designed to strip the fuel of ice particles prior to entering the engine fuel system. Installation of the filter will delete the requirement for use of fuel containing antiice additives. The antiice airframe fuel filter incorporates a filter unit mounted in series between the aircraft fuel system and the engine fuel system. Electrical and mechanical equipment sense the buildup of ice in the filter unit and will automatically illuminate a cockpit caution on the annunciator panel. The pi lot then actuates a switch to activate the aircraft start pump. When the fil ter becomes fully clogged, a bypass valve contained in the filter unit opens and the fuel bypasses the filter element.

PART I GENERAL
The MDHI Emergency Float Kit, consists of inflatable bagtype floats intended for use in emergency landings only, during overwater operation. It is fur nished with squibactuated valves and with steel pressure vessels. The floats are normally carried in the stowed configuration, mounted as a com pact package on top of each skid. A presstotest indicator light is provided to check the condition of the electrical actuation circuits for each float. This indi cator is located on the caution and warning indicator panel. The circuit break er is located at the bottom of the circuit breaker panel. A recessed switch is provided on the cyclic stick for the pilot to initiate inflation when required. The switch activates valves allowing air or nitrogen stored in pressure vessels within the float packages to inflate the floats. An optional Night Landing Kit is available consisting of dual belly mounted sealed beam lights, a circuit breaker, and a three position switch installed on the collective control. Forward position illuminates the standard nose mounted landing light; center position is off; and aft position illuminates the belly lights. Night flight over water is permitted with the night landing light kit in stalled.
915
PART II LIMITATIONS
Night flight over water beyond autorotational capability to ground is prohib ited, unless 369D292032 Night Landing Kit is installed. Flight with floats inflated, or at time of inflation, is limited to the conditions of altitude and temperature presented on the EMERGENCY FLOATS INFLATED VNE PLACARD. Operations with the emergency floats inflated is limited to flight to a servicing facility for repacking and recharging the system. Environmental operating conditions: Operating temperature range Operational temperature range for over waterflight is: 25F (31.7C) minimum +117F (+47C) maximum Altitude limits floats inflated For water and ground landings, change of altitude is limited to 6500 feet below the altitude at inflation or to 6500 feet below the maximum alti tude to which the inflated floats are subsequently flown. This assumes the normal variation in ambient temperature associated with altitude changes.
NOTE: If the allowable altitude change noted above is exceeded, the minimum
operational float pressure (2.0 psig) for water and ground landings may not be available. Air speed limits: With floats stowed With floats stowed, airspeed limitations are the same as the basic heli copter. With floats inflated Airspeed with the floats inflated is limited (Ref. Figure 96). For float inflation Maximum speed for float inflation is 81 knots IAS at less than 6,000 feet altitude, 77 knots IAS at 6,000 feet altitude and above.

PART III EMERGENCY AND MALFUNCTION PROCEDURES EMERGENCY FLOAT INFLATION CAUTION
If emergency occurs at airspeeds greater than maximum permissible float inflation speed, i.e., 81 knots IAS at less than 6,000 feet altitude, 77 knots IAS at 6,000 feet altitude and above, reduce speed to an appropriate value prior to float inflation. Do not exceed airspeed limits of the EMERGENCY FLOATS INFLATED VNE placard.
Check float circuit breaker IN. Actuate float inflation switch. (Only momentary switch actuation is re quired.) FAA Approved Original
918
Inflation should be accomplished at 2,000 feet or less above landing sur face to minimize differential pressure change with altitude change. For overwater operation in conditions near the HeightVelocity Diagram, immediate pilot reaction will be required to ensure float inflation prior to water contact. Make a normal landing approach. Minimize forward speed prior to water contact. Recommended water contact speed 10 knots or less. Do not lower collective until forward speed is 5 knots or less. Landings have been dem onstrated at gross weights up to 3,350 pounds and touchdown speeds up to approximately 10 knots. If emergency occurs at night over water, the dual landing lights should not be illuminated above 1000 feet in order to preserve battery power. Ap proach and landing as noted above.
NOTE: Landings should be made with the helicopter as level as possible laterally and
the nose of the helicopter slightly high. Onefloatfirst landings may produce undesirable but controllable yaw.

CAUTION
Taillow landings on hard surfaces should be avoided, as stress damage to the float extensions may occur.
Inflight float inflation data: Float inflation time and altitude required for deployment are presented be low. Time is affected by temperature. Deployment altitude is based on a sta bilized autorotational rate of descent of 1800 feet per minute. It was calcu lated using the tabulated float inflation time, and a two second increment for pilot reaction time: Float Inflation Time Altitude Required For Deployment 9.0 sec 6.3 sec Temps up to 21C Temps above 21C
