1. PURPOSE.
To clarify the intent of "Speed Selectors - AS REQUIRED (minimum of 103% Nr)" in the BEFORE
LANDING procedures.
2. GENERAL.
The following information clarifies the BEFORE LANDil'iG procedure in Section U and r ecommends the
"CONTINUOUS" Rotor RPM limits in Section V be observed,
Beeping speed selectors to maximum during BEFORE LANDING check. provides an added safeguard
against excessive rotor droop in the event an engine is lost during approach and landing. Light gross weights
reduce the probability of rotor drooping excessively upon single engine loss.
Since pilots perform the BEFORE LANDING check while several minutes of flight are r emaining, rotor
speeds above the "continuous" limit in Section V are recognized as acceptable. The brief period of slightly
high rotor speeds occurring once after an extended mission at normal gross weights is not excessive,
considering total !light time. But during extended instrument approaches and repeated "closed traffic"
landings, the normal procedures result in significant periods oJ operation at rotor speeds above the
"continuous" limit. The greatest exposure lo the highest rotor speeds occurs during training missions
at light gross weights.
3, INSTRUCTIONS.
Operating above the continuous limit (103% Nr), even intermittently, for signlficant percentages of
mission flight time will degrade the service life of main r otor components. It is recommended that on

1. PURPOSE .
To provide interim information and procedures which will give the user more knowledge regarding main
rotor blade outboard spar failures and allow continued operation of the helicopter in such a manner as to
reduce the possibility of these failures.
2, GENERAL.
As the result of recent flight testing by the contr actor, actual in-flight blade loads have been measured
in the outboard fifteen inches of the main rotor blade spa.r, This is the area outboard of the bim seal
where previous failures have occured. These measur ed loads generally indicate that almost all operations
above 19, 500 pounds gross weighl (with the exception of hover) causes some fatigue damage to th<" outboard
spar area. Conversely, operations at gross weights below 19,500 pounds do not gener ally cause fatigue
damage except during flared approaches I. G. E., the amount of fatigue damage done during any flight
eventually builds up until a crack opens up in the spar. Current blade inspections are designed to find that
crack before it becomes long enough to cause loss of the tip area. In general, the more high grossweight
operation, the sooner a crack may occur. Several cr acks have now been detected at between 700 and 1000
hours of blade time. The degree to which the instructions below can be followed will effect the time at which
a cr ack starts.

3. INSTRUCTIONS.
The following instructions are not intended t.o restrict essantial mission operations, but rather lo caution
and advise against non-essential operation in specific flight regimes which contribute to blade crack
initiation. The following night modes should be minimized where mission r equire ments allow:
(1) Operational time at gross weight above 19, 500 pounds. Do not exceed 19,500 pounds
for training purposes,
(2) Operational flight tlme spenl in the 20-40 kias level flight r egime at all gross weights.
(3) Transition from the approach mode to a hover IGE or to no-hover minimum groundspeed
landings. (Smoothly performed roll-on landings are preferred where terrain conditions permit).

INTRODUCTION
SCOPE. This manual contains the oecessai·y ln-
formation for safe and efficient operation of lhe HH-
3F helicopte1·. These instructions provide you with a
general lmowledge of the helicopter, ils characteristics,
and specific normal and emel'gency operating pro-
cedures. Your flying exper ience is recogni1.ed, and
therefore, basic flight principles are avoided.
PERMJSSIBLE OPERATIONS. The Flight Manual
takes a "positive approach'' and normally states
only what you can do. Unmmal operations or con-
figurations (such as asymmetrical loading) are pr o-
hibited unless specifically covered herein.
INTERIM CHANGE SYSTEM. Essential and urgent
changes to lhis technical manual shall be issued by
an Interim Change System . These changes shall be
distributed to you on a non-scheduled, as needed
basis to disseml nate important information at the
enrliesl possible date and eliminate m;.ny of your
page change collation problems associated wHh large
revisions.
Interim Changes shall consist of three types:
(1) brief write-in instructions, (2) supplemcnlal
µages, paragraphs, and illustralions, and (3)
replacement or additional pages. Write-in
Instructions indicated musl be made directly on the
affected page. Supplemental pages must be inserted
next to the affected page of U1e manual as instructed
on the change. Replacement and additional pages
must be collated into the manual and superseded
pa.gos removed.
The changes shall be issued ln message or
printed for m. All shall have a change number
(or control purposes which you must enter on
Lhe Interim Change Summary (flyleaf) in this
manual.
ii
Periodically all Interim Changes will be considered
to become a permanent part of lhe basic manual
and shall be incorporated as a formal, printec,t
amendment or revision.
WARJ'1INGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES. The following
definitions apply lo ''Wanli.ngs." ·•cautions," and
" Notes•· found throughout the manual.

The helicopter is equipped with two General Electric
T'58-GE-5 engines (figures 1-1 aud 1-2) each rated
at 1500 SHP.
The T58 engine Is a compact turboshaft englne with
high power-t()- welght ratio and uses the free turbine
principle. The power turbine is mechanically inde-
pendent or the gas generator and, within Lhe power
lurbine governing range, power turbine speed is in-
dependent of output power. High torque is available
al low output speeds, providing rapid acceleration
characteristics. The engines are mounted side-by-
side above the cargo compartment, forward of lhe
main ~ear box. Each engine consists of the following
major components : an axial-flow compressor , com-
buslion chamber, a two-stage gas gener ator turbine,
and a single-stage free power turbine, which 1s in-
dependent or the gas generator turbine. The gas
generator consists of the compressor, annular com-
l>ustor, and two-stage gas gener ator turbine . The
free turbine principle provides a conslanlfree tur-
bine speed output which results ina constant r otor
rpm. Variations in power requirements. to main-
ta in constant free turbine speed, are accomplished
by automatic increases or decreases in gasgenerator
speed. A hydro-mechanical fuel metering unit pro-
vides maximum engine performance without exceedlng
safe englne operating limits. In the normaloperating range
engine speed is selecled by posilionlng the speed
selector. The integraled fuel control system delivers
atomized fuel in controlled amounts to lhe combustion
clnamber. Flow of fuel and air thxough the combustion
chamber is continuous, and once the mixture is ignited,
corubustlon is sell-sustained. Changes in air pressure,
air temperature, helicopter velocity, and rotor
operali.on all affect englne performance. The engine
fuel control system automatically maintains selected
power turbine speed by changing fuel flow to incr ease
01· decrease gas genera.tor speed as required, thus
regulating outpul power to match the load under chang-
ing conditions. A start bleed valve, mounted on the
compressor, aulomatlcally opens during the starling
cycle Lo bleed approximately 6. 7% oCcompressor dis-
charge airflow overboard. This decreases compres-
sor discharge pressure wbjch lessens the possibility
of compressor stall and allows the starter to accel-
erate the gas generator faster . The valve automati-
cally opens when the starter ls engaged and remains

atLxiliary start fuel shut- off valve Is insta1lcd be-
tween the englne fuel control and flow divider. This
valve, when closed, s huls ofi auxiliary by-pass
starting fu el now. The valve may be used by the
pilot du ring the starling cycle to reduce starting fuel
flow which decreases the possibility of a hot start.
COMPH.ESSOn.
The ten-sLage compressor consists of the compressor
rotor and stator. The compressor rotor is supported
by the front frame section and lhe compressor rear
Crame section. The stator is bolled between the front
frame seclion and compressor rear frame. The
prima1·y purpose or the compressor ls lo compress
air for combustion. Ambient air enters through the
front fl'ame and is dit'ccted lo the compressor Inlet,
passes through ten stages of compression , and is
directed to the combustion chambers. The inlet
guide vanes (2, figure 1- 1) and the fir st three stages
of the stator vanes (3, figure 1-1) are variable and
change their angular position, as a function of com-
pressor inlet temperature and gas generator speed,
lo prevent stall of the compressor.
COMBUSTION CHAMBER.
In the combustion chamber fuel is added to the
compressed air. This mixture is ignited, causing
1-4
a rapid expansion of gases loward lhe gas generator
t-urbine seclion. As the air enters the combustion
section, a porlion goes into the combustion chamber
where il is mixed with the fuel and ignited, while the
remaining air forms a bhmket between the outer com-
bustion casing and the combustion liner (5, figure
1-1), for cooling purposes. Once combustion is
started by tho two ign.iler plugs, lt Is selfsustaining.
Arter the air has been expanded and increased in
velocity by combustion, it is passed thr ough the
first-stage turbine wheel of lhe gas generator turbine
(6, figure 1-1).
GAS GENERATOR TURBINE.
The two-stage gas gencratorturbine(6, figure 1-1) is
the rotating component which Is coupled directly to
the compressor. Il extracts the required power from
the exhaust gases to drive the compressor. The tur-
blnc nozzles that comprise the stator blades direct
the exhaust gases to the turbine wheels.
POWER TURBINE.
The power turbine (7, figure 1-1) Is bolted to the
rear flange of the second stage rurblne casing. The
engine utilizes tbe free turbine principle, in which
engine output power is provided by the power turbine
rolor which is mechanically independent of the gas
generator rotor. This rotor derives its power Crom
the gases which are directed to il by the gas generator

turbine no:tzles. Within the normal operating range,
power lurbine speed may be maintained or r egulated
independent of output power. This principle also
provides mo1·e rapid accelerat!.on because of the
availability of high engine torque al low output speeds.
GAS G!!:NERATOR SPEED (Ng).
Gas ~enen.lor speed (Ng) is primarily dependent
upon fuel flow and is monitored by Lho engine fuel
control unil. The principal purpose of monitoring
Ng ls to conLrol acceleration and decelention
ctiaraclerislics, prevent -:,verspeed, and establish
a minimum idle setting. Gas generalol' speed con-
trols mass airflow pumped through lhe engine and
consequently the power available to the power turbine.
FREE POWER TURBINE SPEED (Nr).
'rhe [ree power turbine speed (Nr) is dependent upon
speed sl:llector position and rotol' load. The fuel
control monitors Nf to r egulate fuel flow to maintaln
an essenlially constant power turbine speed for a
given speed selector position.
ENGIN E FUEL SYSTEM.
The engine fuel systems (figur e 1-3}, one for each
engine, consist or an engine-driven pump, a dynanuc
filter, a fuel control unll, a static filler, an oil
cooler, a flow divider, a fuel manilold and associaled
piping. The fuel conll·ol uult is supplied fuel from
the engine-driven fuel pump. Metered fuel from Lhe
engine fuel control unil is piped th1·ough an oil-fuel
heat exchanger and then enters the flow divider
connecteddlrectly to the fuel manifold on the engine.
For normat Oighl, 1·otor speed is selected by posi-
tioning the speed selectors and the engine fuel confrols
will meter fuel lo maintain the selected roto1· speed.
Engine-Driven Fuel Pump.
A dual operation engine-<il'iven fuel pump, mounted
on each engine, consistini< or a positive displacement
type gear pump and a centrifugal boost pump, is buill
inlo a s ingle housing. Power for each pump is
furnished from the engine accessory drive section
by means of a splined sbail. This shaft drives U1e
fuel pump and simultaneously acts as a link to
1-5

transm~t gas generator speed information to the
engine fuel control unit.
Engine Fuel Co:1trol Url'..t.
The engine fuel control units, one located on each
engine, are hydro-mechanical units thal l'eg1late
engine fuel flow to maintain, as selected, a constant
free power turbine speed and lhus maintain a con-
stant rotor speed (Nr) . Fuel from lhe engine fuel
pump enters the fuel control unit through lhe inlet
and passes through lhc: fu<d filler. The fuel control
has a fuel melerini; section and a compuling seclion.
The metering section selects the rate of flow to the
combllslion chambers, based on information received
from the computing sections. The metering section
has a metering valve and a pressure regulating
valve. The pressure regulating valve maintains a
constant pressure across the main metering valve
by by-passing excess fuel back to the engine fuel
pump inlel. The metering valve is positioned in
response to various internal operating signals, and
meters fllel to the engine as a function of these in-
tegrated signals. The engine fuel control unit per-
forms the following functions: prevents compressor
stall, turbine overtemperature, rich or lean blow-
outs; governs gas generator idle and maximum speeds;
and schedules inlet guide and stator vane positions
to provide optimum compressor performance.
SPEED SELECTORS (ENGINE SPEED SELECTOR
LEVERS),
Two speed selectors marked NUMBER 1 ENGINE
and NUMBER 2 ENGINE are located on the overhead
engine control quadrant (figures 1-4 and 1-5).
Marked positions on the overhead quadrant are SHUT-
OFF, GRD IDLE, MIN GOV, and 100% SPEED. The
speed selectors are connecled directly to the fuel
slopcock and indirectly Lo the fuel metering valve in
the fue l control unit. When the speed selectors are
in the SHUT-OFF position, fuel flow to the fuel
nozzles is stopped by means of a stopcock that pre-
vents fuel from entering the combustion chambers.
The stopcock is open whenever the speed selector
is 6 degrees or more from the SHUT-OFF position
and is closed when the speed selector is 3 degrees
or less from the SHUT-OFF position . The GRD
IDLE position schedules fuel flow to produce approxi-
mately 56 percent Ng. Gas ~enel'ato1· idle speed will
vary with inlet air t~mperature. A limit slop al
GRD IDLE prevents ina.dvertent retarding of the
speed selectors below the idle speed or the engines.
The speed selectors may be retarded from the limit
stop by exerting a downwal·d and rearward pressure
on the speed selectors. The MIN GOV position of
the speed selector is the point where the governing
rn11ge of the power turbine is entered and is approxi-
mately 87%Nr, When the speed selector is at the
full forward position, lhe engine is p1·oducing maxi-
mum power turbine speed. Engine speed trim
swilches a1·e inslalled on lhe collective pitch stick
grip lo provide accurale speed changes and engine
synchronization. With the speed selectors in ,the
governing range, any force tending lo slow the rotor
system (such as increases in collective pilch) will
1-6
be sensed by U1e fuel control unit which will attempt
to maintain constant Nr by increasing power.
ENGINE SPEED TRIM SWITCHES.
The engine speed trim switches located on each
collective pilch lever grip (figure 1-6) are used to
make adjustments lo power turbine speed and for
engine synclu·onizalion. The switches are marked
E:NG TRIM , 1 and 2, - (plus) and - (minus). The
switches provide electrical power to actuators, ln
lhe overhead control quadrant, which are connected to
the speed selectors. The speed selectors are posi-
tioned by the actuators for adjustment to the desired
power turbine speed. Moving the ENG TRIM switches
forward will cause increases in power turbine speed
and moving the switches aft will cause decreases in
power turbine speed. When the desired power tul'bine
speed is attained, the switches are released and will
return to the spring-loaded center position. The ENG
TRIM switches receive electrical power from the DC
primary bus through circuit breakers, under the
general heading ENGINE (SPEED TRIM, 1- ENG-2)
located on the center overhead DC circuit breaker
panel.
EMERGENCY FUEL CONTROL LEVERS.
Two emergency fuel control levers, one for each
engine, marked EMER FUEL CONTROL, are located
om each side of the engine control quadrant (figure 1-5).
The emergency fuel control levers operate indepen-
dently and are used in event of fuel control unit
mallunction. Each emergency fuel control lever has
positive stops (marked OPEN and CLOSE) and is con-
nected directly, by a flexible cable and linkage, to
the main metering valve in each engine fuel control
unil. The primary function of the emergency fuel con-
trol lever is lo manually override the automatic features
of the fuel control. The emergency fuel control lever
must be used with eA'treme cauLion as il has direct
control of fuel How. Misuse can cause engine over-
sµeed or overtemperature. The lnilial position of the
fuel metering valve is dependenl upon the automatic
features of the fuel control as established by the setting
of Lhe speed selector. The emergency fuel control
lever is mechanically connected to a cam within the
fuel control. This cam, when actuated by advancing
the lever, contacts the fuel metering valve. Once
contact is established, further advancement of the
emergency fuel control will manually control fuel flow,
which in turn regulates engine power output. The
emergency fuel control is unable to reduce the position
of the metering valve below that called for by the speed
selectors. Contr ol below this point will depend upon
the type of mallunction encountered. In all instances
of emergency fuel control operation, it musl be r e-
membered that the speed selectors must not be re-
larded beyond the GRD IDLE position. The fuel stop-
cock is located downstream of lhe metering valve and
is actuated by the speed selectors. Placing the speed
selector in the SHUT-OFF position will stop
engine fuel flow regardless of emergency fuel
conLrol lever posiLion.

STARTER SYSTEM.
The starling system consists of a starter, starter
r elay, slarl bleed valve, auxiliary start shul-o[f
valve, starter button, modi:! St:ilec;tor swilch, and
al.HJrl i:;wilch. The system operates on 28 volts DC
from the primary bu::; and is protected by circuit
l.n·eaktH'S, marked S'J.'AHTKH. 1 ENG 2, localed on
the overhead circuil breaker panel. The engine
i:;tarlini; system (figwe 1-7) has two modes of opera-
lion: normal and manual. The normal mode pro-
vidt!S a completely a.ulomalic i:;tart which lndude!>
automatic sta.rte1· drop out aite1
· en~inti llle-uff. 'T'he
manual mode provides an alternate m eans of starting
when using external eleclrical power or the batlery.
In this mode, the ituLomatic starter drop-oul fcalu r,e
is by-passed. In either mode, the start bleed valve
operates aulomalically and Lhe auxiliary start futd
shut-off valve may be operated by lhe pilol. The
i:;tarter has a duty cycle limited to 30 seconds con-
tinuous cn.nking, a mi11imum cooling period of three
minutes between start attempts, and a maximum of
Uu·ee stru:t attempts in any 30-minute period. Be-
fore the starte1· ca11 be energized, APU, external,
or battery power is required. During start, as the
enrtir1e speed seleclor lever is advanced to the GRO
IDLE position, the stop-cock opens and allows fuel
lo pass through the flow divider and to enter lhe
number one (low pressure) manifold lo lhe nozzles
where it is mixed with compressor disc.:harl,!;e air.
As the fuel-alr mi>.1.ure leaves the tHW.zles, lL l s
lgnUecl by the two igniter plugs In the combustion
chamt>er and enters a sustainecl combustion process .
Starter Drop Out.
Starter operation and drop out may be 111onlto1·Hd by
noting the mag-netic compass headinp: prior to 0111,rlne
start. When Lhe starter is P.nAt'l{iztid, LhH compass
will swing to a new headin~. When norma I start
cir cuit ls used lhe sta1·ter will automatically drop
out when starter amperage falls below 100 ,. 15
amperes (45 to 53 percent Ng), The compass should
then swing back to ils original headlni; sl1~nifying
the startel' has dropped out. When lhe manual start
circuit is used, the starter wi11 only dl'op out when
U1e abort switch is actuated.
Start Bleed Valve.
The start bleed valves, located on each engine,
operate automatically during the start cycle and
require no specific pilot action. The function of lhe
valve is to raise the compressor stall line during
the st:u·t cycle in order to increase the relabllity
T. 0. 1H-3(H)F-1
of the start system. This is accomplished by bleeding
approximately 6. 7 percent of the compressor dis-
charge air flow at ground tdle and by delaying 1he
closing or the valve 3 to 7 seconds beyond the point
where the starter, ignition circuit, and •alve circuit
ue de-energized simultaneously. The bleed val'e re-
mains fully closed during all regimes oi engine opera-
tion except during stanir1g.
Starter nunons.
A slarter bullon is located on each speed selector lever.
The stai·ter is energized by holding the speed select01'
lever in the SHUT-OFF position and 1110111en1arily de-
pressing lhe starter button. This energizes the
starter relay and completes the circuit to thP starter.
When using normnl starting mode, after e11i.:-i11e lite-
off and the electrical power load to starter <iecreases,
the starter l'elay will automatically drop out, de-
energl:>.ing the stareer. When using the manual mode,
the respectivf! speed selector must be pulled clown 10
actu::ltP the abort switch which in turn drops oul the
starter.
St:u-ler Abort Switch.
A starter abort switch is located in each sp~cd se-
lector le,·er . The switch is accua1ed by pullini: down
on the speed selector le•er. This action breaks
electrical circuil continuity to the ignilion system and
the stru·ter relay.
Mode Selector Switch.
The mode selector switch with marked position:.
MANUAL and NORMAL under che general heading
START MODE is localed on the overhead control
panel. When the switch is placed in the NORMAL posi-
tion, the automatic drop-out function uf the starter re-
lay is energized allowing the starter lo remain ener-
gized lo 45 to 53lj, Ng, When the switch is placed In
Lhe MA:-.'1JAL position, the automatic drnp-oul foature
of the stai·ter relay is by-passed allowing 1hc starter
to remain energized until the abort switch is uctualc<.l
manually. The switch operates on 28 volts DC
from the primary bus.
Auxlliarv Start Fuel Shut-off Valves.
Two auxiliary start fuel shut-off valves. one for each
eni,rlne, are loc:ated in the engine compartment and arc
instaUed between the engine fuel control and Clow
divider. When the valve is actuated during lhe start
cycle of either engine, Lhe flow or auxillai·y by-pass
s1ar1in~ fuel is blocked. This blockage decreases lite
total amount of fuel now durin~ slaning, thus dimin-
ishing the possibility of an overtemperature condition
due to exressive Cue! flow. The valves operate on 28
volts DC fr om lhe primary bus and are pt·otecled by the
main starting rirc:uir br eakers.

must be closed before the valve will operate. Either
the pilot or copilot's switch will control the operation
of both valves. The switch operates on 28 volts DC
from the pl'imary bus.
IGNITION SYSTEM.
Each engine ignilion system consists of a capacitor-
discharge ignition unit, two ignitor plugs, and a
control circuit. The system provides ignition for
starting only; during engine operation, the flrune in
the combustion chamber is self-sustaining. The ig-
nition system is mounted on the engine. The system
is controlled by a llucc-position switch mounted on
the overhead switch panel. When the switch is in the
NORM position, the ignilion unil operates in con-
junction with the starter. The ignition system is dc-
ene1·gized when the starter is dc-cne1·gized. The
ignition system operates on current from the DC
primary bus through the starter control system.
Ignition Switches.
Two ignition switches, one for each engine, located
on the overhead switch panel (figure 1-4), are
marked IGNITION, 1 ENG, 2 . Each switch has three
marked positions, TEST, OFF, and NORM. The
switches are normally in the NORM position. When
the switch is in the NORM position with the starter
engaged, lhe ignition unit is energized. Holding
the switch in the spring-loaded TEST position ener-
gizes the ignition unit only. The TEST position is
used (for ground operation only) without the sta1·ter
to test the ignition circuit. A clicking can be hea1·d
when the switch is placed in TEST position. When
the switch is in the OFF posili:on, the ignition unit is
de-energized. The engine may be motored by using
the starter without. ignition. The speed selector
must be in the SHUT-OFF position before the starter
and ignition systems can be energized.
TORQUEMETERS.
Two torquemeters (1 and 45, iigltre 1-8), one for
lhe pilol and one for the copilot, are located on the
instrument panel. Each dual-pointer indicator,
marked PERCENT TORQUE, contains two pointers,
marked 1 aud 2, which indicate input torque in per-
cent of maximum engine power output of each engine.
The electrically actuated torquemeter dials, cali-
brated in percent torque, are graduated in increments
of 5 percent from Oto 150 percent. The torque-
meters ope1·ate 011 26 volts AC and arc protected
by circuit breakers, marked 1 ENG TORQUE SEN-
SOR, located on the copilot's AC circuit panel,and
2 ENG TORQUE SENSOR, located on the pilot's
AC circuit l>reakeJ· panel. The torqucmetcrs in-
dicate the amount of torque being applied to the
main gear l>ox by the engines. The torque sensing
cells are located in the main gear box and arc hy-
dromechanical in nature, sensing any shift in the
bevel gear al the input from each engine. Oil
pressures within the cells are sensed by pressure
lransmilleJ'S and transmitted electrically to the
torquemeters.

ENGINE GAS GENERATOR (Ng) TACHOMETERS.
Two engine gas generator tachometers (22 and 33,
figure 1-8), ooe for each engine, are localed on Lhe
instrument pru1el, and indicate the speed of lhe gas
l{enerator in percent rpm. Each tachometer has
Lwo dials and pointers. The outer dial and pointer in-
dicates gas generator speed from zero to 100 percent,
in increments of two percent. The small vernier dial
and pointer, located In the upper left-hand position
of the tachometer, indicates gas generator speed
from zero to ten, in increments of one percent. The
gas generator tachometer generator is driven by the
engine oil pump shaft. The electrical power produced
by the gas generator tachometer generator is pro-
portional to gas generator rpm (100%Ng = 26300 gas
generator r pm).
Ne AND Nr TRIPLE TACHOMETERS.
Two triple tachometers (2 and 46, figure 1-8), one
for the pilot and one for the copilot, are located on
the instrument panel. Each tachometer contains three
pointers: the pointe1·s marked 1 and 2 indicate the
power turbine speed (Nf) of the No. 1 and 2 engines,
respectively; the pointer marked R indicates U1e main
rotor rpm (Nr). The engine tachometers are pow-
ered by their own tachometer generators which are
driven by the powc1· turbine through a flex cable,
which is routed lo the fuel control on which they are
mounted. The main rotor tachometer is powered
by ils own tachometer generatorI located on the
accessory section of the gear box, and driven by the
accessory gears. The lachomelers are read in
percent rpm (100% Nr = 18966 power l'urbine rpm
and 100% Nr = 203 rotor rpm).
POWER TURBINE INLET TEMPERATURE (T5)
INDICATORS.
Two power turbine inlet temperarure indicators (23
and 34, figure 1-8), marked PWR TURB INLET
TEMP, are located on the instrument panel. The
indicators ::u·e graduated in degrees Centigrade and
operate from thermocouples, located forward of the
power turbine in the second-stage b.1rbine casing,
on each engine. The maximum power turbine inlet
temperature is indirectly controlled by the gas
generator speed adjustment of the fuel control.
ENGINE OIL PRESSURE INDICATORS.
Two engine oil pressure indicators (25 and 36, figure
1-8), one for each engine, are located on the instru-
ment panel. The indicators are powered by 26 volls
AC from the autotransformer and are protected by
circuit breakers marked OIL PRESS 1 ENG on the
copilot' s AC circuit breaker panel and OIL PRESS 2
ENG on the pilot's AC circuit breaker panel. Pres-
su1·e is indicated in PSI.
ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE INDICATORS.
Two engine oil temperature indicators (26 and 37,

engine is located on the copilot's AC ci1·cuil breaker
µancl and for the No. 2 engine on the pilot's AC
circuit breaker panel.
ROTOR SYSTEMS.
The rotor systems consist of a single main r otor and
an anti-torque tall rolor. Both systems arc drlven
l>y lhe two engines through the transmission system
and are controlled by the flight contr ols.
MAIN ROTOR SYSTEM.
The main rotor system consists of the main r otor
head assembly and lhe 1
·otor blades. The head
assembly, mounted directly above the main gear box,
consists of a hub asseml.>ly and a swashplate assembly.
The hub assembly, consisting of five s leeve- spindle
assemblies and five hydraulic dampers clamped be-
tween two parallel plates, is splined lo the main
r otor dr ive s haft. The rool ends of tho five rotor
blades are attached to the s leeve-spindle assemblies,
which per01it each blade lo £lap vertically, hunt
horizontally, and rotate aboul their span-wise axi s.
Anli-flapplng restrainers llmit the upw111·d movement
of lhc blades. Droop stops limil the downward
111ovcment of the blades. Both are in operation when
the L>lades are stopped or turning at low speed.
When speed is lnCl'eased lo approximately 25 perce1tt
(50 1·pm) rotor speed, centrifugal force automatically
releases the antl-flapplng r estrainers. The droop
stops release at approximately 75 per cent (152 r pm)
rotor speed. The hydraulic dampers minimize
hunting movement of the blades about the vertical
hinges as they rotate, prevt:,nl shock lo lhe blades
when the rotor is starled 0 1· s lopped, and aid in the
prevention of g1
·ound resonance. The flvo nll metal
main rotor blades are of lhe pressu1·izcd spar type,
Identified as BlM® blades. The blades arc con-
sti·ucted or aluminum alloy with the exception of
for~cd steel cures which attai;h the root ends of the
blades to the sleeve- spindle assemblies on the main
rotor hub. Each blade consists, basically, or a
hollow extruded aluminum sµu pressurized with
nitrogen, 23 aluminum blade pockets, a tip cap,
an aluminum root cap, a i:,teel cuff, a pressure
(BIM) Indicator, nn air vtLlve, and an abrasion strip.

accumulation of molsture inside the blade. Each
blade is balanced statically and dynamically within
tolerances that pe1·mil individual replacemenl of the
blades. In addition, a pretrack number is stenciled
on each blade to eliminate the necessity for blade
tracking. Balancing and the assignment or a pr e-
lrack number is done during manufacture or overhaul.
The swashplate assembly consists of an upper
(rotating) swashplate, which is driven by lhe rolor
hub, a.nd a lower (stationary) swashplate, which is
secured by a scissors assembly to the main gear box
to prevent rotation. Both swashplates are mounted on
a ball-ring and socket assembly, which keeps them
parallel at all times, but allows them to be tilled,
rasicd, or lowered simultaneously by components of
the main rotor flight control system, which CO!lnect
to arms on the lower (stationary) swashplate. Cyclic
or collective pitch changes, intr oduced at the
stationary swas
