as hose lines or cable assemblies, are
checked for functionality; chafe marks
are eliminated, or, if required, the
parts are replaced. Additionally, fuel
tanks undergo detailed inspection for
leaks, with all filters generally replaced
by new ones.
The known critical points of helicopter airframes are evaluated in detail, and,
when necessary, repaired according to standardised procedures. All actions are
documented in accompanying Work Reports to enable the current status to be
reconstructed in any inspection phase.

Helisafe V2 Usage Monitoring System (UMS)
In order to satisfy the CAT.POL.H.305 EASA requirement,

a Usage Monitoring System (UMS) has to be used. The installation
of the Helisafe V2 USM ensures that all relevant helicopter data
is recorded and monitored at all times, without the crew having
to spend any time doing so.
Description
In order to satisfy the CAT.POL.H.305 EASA requirement, a Usage Monitoring
System (UMS) has to be used. The system must satisfy the following require-
ments:
The system must record:

The date and time at which the recording is being made
The number of hours flown during a single day and the total flight time
of the helicopter
N1 (gas producer RPM) cycle count
N2 (power turbine RPM) cycle count (bei 2 Wellen TW)
Turbine temperature exceedance: value, duration
Power shaft torque exceedance: value, duration
Engine shaft speed exceedance: value, duration
Helisafe V2
Thanks to its compact design, the Helisafe V2 USM can either be installed on
the instrument panel, on the centre control stand, under the cabin floor or in
the cargo bay, depending on the type of helicopter.
The system automatically turns itself on when the battery is powered on. Data
regarding the engine time and operating time is recorded automatically from
the time at which the engine is started (N1). The actual flight time is also
recorded via an installed air/ground sensor. The recorded data is automatically
transmitted to an external server via a GSM antenna when the helicopter lands.
Pilots and mechanics do not have to upload the data, thus saving a great deal
of valuable time.
An alarm is automatically triggered if any of the limits are exceeded. In

addition, the optional Iridium device enables helicopters to be tracked. Alarm
thresholds can be set, which allows the system to also undergo preventative
maintenance and, as such, prevents components from suffering a total failure.
Benefits
Increased safety
Fully automatic system no extra work for the crew
Exceeded limits are recorded and flagged
STCs already exist for a wide range of helicopters
Low space requirements thanks to the compact design
Helicopters can be tracked (optional with the Iridium device)
Possibility of preventative maintenance
Short ground time

Pilot Assistance System Integration

Maximum visibility for safe helicopter operations
Ensure maximum flight safety. Rely on RUAG Aviations proven

system upgrades and engineering expertise to upgrade your
visibility for increased confidence. RUAG integrates SFERION, the
state-of-the-art pilot assistance solution from Airbus DS Electronics &
Border Security GmbH providing outstanding augmented reality
during limited visibility conditions. This is the only pilot assistance
system supporting all mission phases, including take-off, active
flight, approach, and landing based on high precision, real-time 3D
sensor-database fused information.
Safe landings and secure mission operations require reliable identification

of outside reference points. Limited visibility conditions, caused by extreme
weather fronts, whiteouts and brownouts, in dust, fog and smoke, make
landmarks unrecognizable. Safe flight operations and real-time decision-
making become more demanding.
Reliable reference points, even in limited visibility situations
Steady, high quality situational awareness is crucial for safe and effective
helicopter operations. When references points and landmarks are made
unrecognizable by limited visibility conditions, the approach, landing and
take-off phases become extremely challenging, especially with regards
to unseen obstacles and uneven terrain.

induced rotor down wash)

Integrate the SFERION solution with confidence

RUAG is your reliable upgrade partner for integration expertise and helicopter
availability. Efficient to integrate, the SFERION pilot assistance system for
heightened visibility is your best advantage for enhanced mission safety. The
only available solution combining both active flying and landing support,
the system provides real-time sensor and data fusion to create a 3D augmented
reality and the necessary reference points for increased safety in demanding
limited visibility conditions and situations.
