WARNING

Personnel performing operations, procedures, and practices which are included or implied in this technical manual shall
observe the following warnings. Disregard of these warnings and precautionary information can cause serious injury or loss
of life.
BATTERY ELECTROLYTE
Battery electrolyte is harmful to the skin and clothing. If potassium hydroxide is spilled on clothing or other material, wash
immediately with clean water. If spilled on personnel, immediately flush the affected area with clean water. Continue
washing until medical assistance arrives. Neutralize any spilled electrolyte by thoroughly flushing contacted area with water.
CARBON MONOXIDE
When smoke, suspected carbon monoxide fumes, or symptoms of anoxia exist, the crew should immediately ventilate the
cockpit.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI)
No electrical/electronic devices of any sort, other than those described in this manual or appropriate airworthiness release and
approved by USAATCOM AMSAT-R-ECU, are to be operated by crewmembers or passengers during operation of this
helicopter.
FIRE EXTINGUISHER
Exposure to high concentrations of extinguishing agent or decomposition products should be avoided. The liquid should not
be allowed to come into contact with the skin, as it may cause frost bite or low temperature burns.
HANDLING FUEL AND OIL
Turbine fuels and lubricating oils contain additives which are poisonous and readily absorbed through the skin. Do not allow
them to remain on skin longer than necessary.
HIGH VOLTAGE
All ground handling personnel shall be informed of high voltage hazards when making external cargo hookups.
NOISE
Sound pressure levels in this helicopter during some operating conditions exceed the Surgeon General’s hearing conservation
criteria, as defined in DA PAM 40-501. Hearing protection devices, such as the aviator helmet or ear plugs are required to
be worn by all personnel in and around the helicopter during its operation. When window guns are firing, when flights exceed
100 minutes during any 24 hour period, or when speeds are above 120 knots, helmet and ear plugs shall be worn by all
crewmembers.
WEAPONS AND AMMUNITION
Observe all standard safety precautions governing the handling of weapons and live ammunition. When not in use, point all
weapons in a direction offering the least exposure to personnel and property in case of accidental firing. Do not walk in front
of weapons. SAFE the machinegun before servicing. To avoid potentially dangerous situations, follow all procedural
warnings in text.
ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION
Do not stand within six feet of Aircraft Survivability Equipment (ASE), ALQ-156, ALQ-162, and ALQ-144 transmit
antennas when the ASE equipment is on. High frequency electromagnetic radiation can cause internal burns without causing
any sensation of heat. The HF radio transmits high power electromagnetic radiation. Serious injury or death can occur if you
Change 8

a

*TM 1-1520-237-10

touch the HF antenna while it is transmitting. Do not grasp, or lean against the antenna when power is applied to the
helicopter.
ALQ-144
Do not continuously look at the ALQ-144 infrared countermeasure transmitter during operation, or for a period of over 1
minute from a distance of less than 3 feet. Skin exposure to countermeasure radiation for longer than 10 seconds at a distance
less than 4 inches shall be avoided.

CHAPTER 2
AIRCRAFT AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Section I AIRCRAFT
2.1 GENERAL.

2.3 UH-60L.

This chapter describes the UH-60A, UH-60L, and EH60A helicopter’s systems and flight controls. The functioning of electrical and mechanical components is simplified
where more detailed knowledge is not necessary.

The UH-60L helicopter is the same as the UH-60A helicopter except engines T700-GE-701C replace T700-GE700. The main transmission is replaced by an improved
durability gearbox (IDGB).

2.2 UH-60A.

2.4 EH-60A.

UH−60A

The UH-60A (BLACK HAWK) (Figure 2-1) is a twin
turbine engine, single rotor, semimonocoque fuselage, rotary wing helicopter. Primary mission capability of the helicopter is tactical transport of troops, supplies and equipment. Secondary missions include training, mobilization,
development of new and improved concepts, and support of
disaster relief. The main rotor system has four blades made
of titanium/fiberglass. The drive train consists of a main
transmission, intermediate gear box and tail rotor gear box
with interconnecting shafts. The propulsion system has two
T700-GE-700 engines operating in parallel. The nonretractable landing gear consists of the main landing gear and a
tailwheel. The armament consists of two 7.62 mm machineguns, one on each side of the helicopter in the forward
cabin. Detailed descriptions of these systems are given in
these chapters. For additional weight information, refer to
Chapters 5, 6, and 7. Kit installations for the helicopter
consist of range extension tanks, rescue hoist, medical
evacuation, infrared suppression, blade anti-icing/deicing,
blackout devices, snow skis, winterization and static/
rappelling kit. Refer to this chapter and Chapter 4 for kit
descriptions.

UH−60L

EH

The EH-60A helicopter is a modified UH-60A (Figure
2-1) with a crew of four. The Mission equipment consists
of electronic systems with modifications that will ensure
that the mission requirements are met. The EH-60A system
includes air conditioning, helicopter survivability equipment, and avionics equipment. An electronics compartment
within the transition section is used for avionics equipment.
The compartment can be entered from the right side of the
helicopter. The mission systems employ two operators: The
DF (ESM) operator controlling the electronics surveillance
functions, and the electronics countermeasure (ECM) operator controlling the active countermeasure functions. The
EH-60A can operate independently or in conjunction with
up to two additional, similarly equipped, aircraft. When
operating in the multisystem mode, secured air-to-air communications are provided for automatic tasking between
aircraft. Secured air-to-ground communications are also
provided for voice reporting purposes.

2.5 DIMENSIONS.
Principal dimensions of the helicopter are based on the
cyclic stick and tail rotor pedals being centered and the
collective stick being in its lowest position. All dimensions
are approximate and they are as shown on Figure 2-2.
2.6 TURNING RADIUS AND GROUND CLEARANCE.

WARNING
Main rotor clearance in Figure 2-3 is
shown with cyclic centered and level
ground. Cyclic displacement or sloping
terrain may cause rotor blade clearance
to be significantly less.
For information on turning radius and ground clearance,
see Figure 2-3.
2.7 COMPARTMENT DIAGRAM.
2.7.1 Compartment Diagram. UH The fuselage is divided into two main compartments, the cockpit and cabin.
The cockpit (Figure 2-4) is at the front of the helicopter
with the pilots sitting in parallel, each with a set of flight
controls and instruments. Operation of electrical controls is
shared by both. The cabin compartment contains space for
crew chief seating, troop seating, litter installation and
cargo. Restraint of cargo is by tiedown rings installed in the
floor. Two stowage compartments (Figure 6-11), at the rear
of the cabin over the main fuel tanks, are for flyaway equipment. The equipment storage compartments are reached
from inside the cabin. A gust lock control, APU accumulator handpump and pressure gage, and APU ESU are also
installed (Figure 2-5).
2.7.2 Compartment Diagram. EH A fixed observer
seat is installed to allow observation of either operator position (Figure 2-6). Floor attachments are provided for securing rack mounts and seats. Blackout curtains may be
used to eliminate any light intrusion into the cockpit during
night operations, or any glare on the operator’s console
during day operations. Blackout curtains may be used between cockpit and cabin during NVG operations.
2.8 UPPER AND LOWER CONSOLES.
All cockpit electrical controls are on the upper and lower
consoles and instrument panel. The upper console (Figure
2-7), overhead between pilot and copilot, contains engine
controls, fire emergency controls, heater and windshield

Change 10

wiper controls, internal and external light controls, electrical systems and miscellaneous helicopter system controls.
The rear portion of the upper panel contains the dc essential
bus circuit breaker panels. The lower console (Figure 2-8)
next to the base of the instrument panel and extending
through the cockpit between the pilot and copilot, is easily
reached by either pilot. The console is arranged with communication panels, navigational panels and flight attitude/
stability controls. The rear part of the console houses the
battery bus and battery utility bus circuit breaker panels,
and parking brake handle.
2.9 LANDING GEAR SYSTEM.
The helicopter has a nonretractable landing gear consisting of two main gear assemblies and a tailwheel assembly.
The landing gear permits helicopter takeoffs and landings
on slopes in any direction. The system incorporates a jack
and kneel feature that permits manual raising or lowering
of the fuselage for air transportability. A landing gear
weight-on-wheels (WOW) switch is installed on the left
landing gear to control operation of selected systems (Table
2-1). The switch is deactivated when the weight of the helicopter is on the landing gear. On helicopters equipped
with ESSS fixed provisions, a WOW switch is also installed on the right landing gear drag beam to provide ac
underfrequency cutout and external stores jettison. The left
WOW switch provides all other WOW functions as without
ESSS provisions and the EMER JETT ALL capabilities.
See Table 2-1 for reference.
2.9.1 Main Landing Gear. The main landing gear is
mounted on each side of the helicopter forward of center of
gravity (Figure 2-1). Each individual landing gear has a
single wheel, a drag beam, and a two-stage oleo shock strut.
The lower stage will absorb energy from landings up to 10
feet-per-second (fps). Above 10 fps the upper stage and
lower stage combine to absorb loads up to 39 fps (about
11.25 Gs).
2.9.2 Wheel Brake System. Main landing gear wheels
have disc hydraulic brakes. The self-contained selfadjusting system is operated by the pilot’s and copilot’s tail
rotor pedals. The brakes have a visual brake puck wear
indicator. Each wheel brake consists of two steel rotating
discs, brake pucks and a housing that contains the hydraulic
pistons. The parking brake handle, marked PARKING
BRAKE, is on the right side of the lower console (Figure
2-8). A hand-operated parking brake handle allows brakes
to be locked by either pilot or copilot after brake pressure is
applied. The parking brakes are applied by pressing the toe
brake pedals, pulling the parking brake handle to its fully
extended position, and then releasing the toe brakes while
holding the handle out. An advisory light will go on, indi-

LIGHTS ADVSY.
2.9.3 Tail Landing Gear. The tail landing gear (Figure
2-1) is below the rear section of the tail cone. It has a
two-stage oleo shock strut, tailwheel lock system fork assembly, yoke assembly, and a wheel and tire. The fork
assembly is the attachment point for the tailwheel and allows the wheel to swivel 360°. The tailwheel can be locked
in a trail position by a TAILWHEEL switch in the cockpit

indicating LOCK or UNLK (Figure 2-8). The fork is
locked by an electrical actuator through a bellcrank and
locking pin. When the pin is extended, the switch will indicate LOCK. When the pin is retracted, the switch will
indicate UNLK. Power to operate the locking system is by
the dc essential bus through a circuit breaker marked

2.10.3 Vertical Instrument Display System (VIDS).
The VIDS (Figure 2-9) consists of a vertical strip central
display unit (CDU), two vertical strip pilot display units
(PDU), and two signal data converters (SDC). Those read-

ings are shown by ascending and descending columns of
multicolored lights (red, yellow, and green) measured
against vertical scales which operate in this manner: the
segments will light in normal progression and remain on as
the received signal level increases. Those scales will go off
in normal progression as the received signal level decreases.
Scales with red-coded and/or amber-coded segments below
green-coded segments operate in this manner: When the
received signal level is zero or bottom scale, the segments
will light in normal progression and will remain on. When
the first segment above the red or amber range goes on, all
red-coded or amber-coded segments will go off. These segments will remain off until the received signal level indicates a reading at or within the red or amber range. At that

time all red-coded or amber-coded segments will go on and
the scale display will either go on or go off in normal progression, depending upon the received signal level. The
CDU and PDUs contain photocells that automatically adjust lighting of the indicators with respect to ambient light.
If any one of the three photocells should fail, the lights on
the vertical scales of the PDUs or CDU may not be at the
optimum brightness for the ambient conditions. The DIM
knob on the CDU contains an override capability which
allows the pilot to manually set the display light level. The

display. The No. 1 engine instruments on the CDU and
copilot’s PDU, receive signal data from the No. 1 SDC
(CHAN 1). The No. 2 engine and main transmission instruments on the CDU and pilot’s PDU, receives signal data
from the No. 2 SDC (CHAN 2). If either SDC fails, the
corresponding CHAN 1 or 2 light will go on, and it is
likely the pilot’s or copilot’s PDU and the corresponding
instruments will fail. Failure of a lamp power supply within
an SDC will cause every second display light on the CDU
to go off. Both SDCs receive % RPM 1 and 2, % RPM R
and % TRQ information from both engines. Therefore if
one SDC fails only one PDU will provide % RPM 1 and 2
and % TRQ for both engines.

2.10.4 Central Display Unit (CDU). The CDU (Figure
2-9) contains instruments that display fuel quantity, transmission oil temperature and pressure, engine oil temperature and pressure, turbine gas temperature (TGT), and gas
generator speed (Ng) readings. Those readings are shown
by ascending and descending columns of multicolored
lights (red, yellow, and green) measured against vertical
scales. If the instrument contains low range turnoff (red or
yellow lights below green lights) they will go off when the
system is operating within the normal range (green). If the
instrument contains yellow or red lights above the green
range, the green as well as the yellow or red will stay on
when operating above the green range. The operating
ranges for the different instruments are shown in Figures
5-1, 5-2, and 5-3. Digital readouts are also installed on the
TOTAL FUEL quantity, TGT, and Ng gages.
2.10.4.1 Lamp Test System. The lamp test provides a
means of electrically checking all CDU scale lamps, digital
readouts, and % RPM RTR OVERSPEED lights on the
PDUs. When the PUSH TO TEST switch on the CDU is
pressed, all CDU scale lamps should light, digital readouts
should display 888, and three RTR OVERSPEED lights
on the PDUs should be on.

Change 10

2.10.4.2 Dim Control. The DIM control allows the pilot
to set a desired display light level of the CDU and PDUs in
accordance with the ambient light, or override the auto-dim
sensors. If the auto-dim circuitry should fail or malfunction,
turn the DIM control fully clockwise to regain illumination
of the CDU and PDUs.
2.10.4.3 CDU and PDU Digital Control. An ON, OFF
DIGITS control switch is on the CDU (Figure 2-9) to turn
on or off the digital readout displays on the CDU and PDUs.
If a digital processor fails, all digital displays will go off.
2.10.5 Pilot’s Display Unit (PDU). The PDU (Figure
2-9) displays to the pilot engine power turbine speed (%
RPM 1 and 2), rotor speed (% RPM R), and torque (%
TRQ). Readings are shown by ascending and descending
columns of multicolored lights (red, yellow, and green)
measured against vertical scales. A TEST switch provides
a means of electrically checking all PDU scale lamps and
digital readouts. When the TEST switch is pressed, all PDU
scale lamps should light and digital readouts should display
188. The % RPM indicators contain low range turnoff below the normal operating range. Three overspeed lights at
the top will go on from left to right when a corresponding

TM 1-1520-237-10

rotor speed of 127%, 137%, and 142% is reached. Once a
light is turned on, a latch prevents it from going off until
reset by maintenance. Power for the PDUs is from No. 1
and No. 2 ac and dc primary buses through circuit breakers

marked NO. 1 AC INST/NO. 1 DC INST and NO. 2 AC
INST/NO. 2 DC INST respectively. See Figures 5-1, 5-2,

2.11 DOORS AND WINDOWS.
2.11.1 Cockpit Doors. The crew compartment is
reached through two doors, one on each side of the cockpit.
The doors swing outward and are hinged on the forward
side (Figure 2-1). Each door has a window for ventilation.
Installed on the back of each door is a latch handle to allow
unlatching the door from either inside or outside the cockpit. Emergency release handles are on the inside frame of
each door (Figure 9-1). They allow the cockpit doors to be
jettisoned in case of an emergency. There is an emergency
release pull tab on the inside forward portion of each cockpit door window for pilot egress.

2-1). Single-action door latches allow the doors to be
latched in the fully open or fully closed positions. Each of
the two doors incorporate two jettisonable windows, for
emergency exit (Figure 9-1).
2.11.3 Crew Chief/Gunner Windows. The Crew
Chief/Gunner Stations have forward sliding hatch windows,
split vertically into two panels (Figure 2-1). A springloaded security latch is installed on each gunner’s aft window, to prevent the window opening from the outside. The
dead bolt lock requires activation of the security latch lever
from inside the helicopter. Another window latch bar is
actuated to allow the forward window to be moved to a

2.11.2 Troop/Cargo (Cabin) Doors. Aft sliding doors
are on each side of the troop/cargo compartment (Figure

stowed position. The windows may be opened to move a
machine gun into position for firing.
2.11.4 Door Locks. Key door locks are installed on
each of the cabin, cockpit and avionics compartment doors.
A common key is used to lock and unlock the doors from
the outside to secure the helicopter. Each crew chief/gunner
sliding window is locked from the inside only.
2.12 CREW SEATS.
2.12.1 Pilots’ Seats.

WARNING
Do not store any items below seats. Seats
stroke downward during a crash and any
obstruction will increase the probability
and severity of injury.
The pilots’ seats provide ballistic protection and can be
adjusted for the pilots’ leg length and height. The pilot’s
seat is on the right side, and the copilot’s is on the left.
Each seat has a one-piece ceramic composite bucket attached to energy absorption tubes. Each seat is positioned
on a track with the bucket directly above a recess in the
cockpit floor. Crash loads are reduced by allowing the seat
and occupant to move vertically as single unit. Occupant
restraint is provided by a shoulder harness, lap belts, and a
crotch belt.

WARNING
To prevent injury to personnel, do not release either the normal or emergency vertical adjust levers unless someone is sitting in the seat. The extension springs are
under load at all times. With seat at lowest position, the vertical preload on the
seat could be as high as 150 pounds. If no
one is in the seat and vertical adjust lever(s) is released, the seat will be snapped
to the highest stop. Anyone leaning over
the seat or with hands on guide tubes
above linear bearings, will be seriously injured.
a. Seat Height Adjustment. Vertical seat adjustment is
controlled by a lever on the right front of the seat bucket.
Springs are installed to counterbalance the weight of the
seat. The lever returns to the locked position when released.

Change 10

b. Forward and Rear Adjustment. The seat is adjusted
for leg length by a locking lever on the left front of the seat
bucket. The lever is spring-loaded and returns to the locked
position when released.
c. Emergency Tilt Levers. The emergency tilt release
levers are on each side of the seat support frame. The seat
may be tilted back into the cabin for removal or treatment
of a wounded pilot. Seat tilting can be done from the cabin
only when the seat is in the full down and aft position. On
RA-30525 seats, tilting is achieved by pushing the tilt levers in toward center, and then pulling the seat top rearward. On D3801 and D3802 seats, tilting is achieved by
pushing the tilt levers outboard, and then pulling the seat
top rearward.
d. Emergency Vertical Release Lever. The emergency
vertical release lever permits the seat to drop to the lowest
adjustment point for tilting. The emergency vertical release
lever is on the upper center back of RA-30525 seats, and is
actuated by pulling right on the lever. The emergency vertical release pedal is on the lower back of the D3801 and
D3802 seats, and is actuated by pushing down on the foot
operated pedal.
e. Seat Belts. The pilot’s and copilot’s seats each contain a shoulder harness, seat belt, and a crotch strap connected to a common buckle assembly. All belts and straps
have adjustment fittings. The attachment buckle has a
single-point release that will be common in configuration
on the pilot’s and copilot’s seats; they may be of the lift
lever or rotary release configuration, when the lanyard is
pulled or the release is turned all belts and straps will release simultaneously.
2.12.2 Protective Armor. Armor protection is provided
for the body of the pilot and copilot against 7.62 mm rounds
from the side and from the back and below. Armored wings,
attached to the cockpit interior, consist of a sliding panel at
the outboard side of each seat. A release lever at the front
of each panel permits sliding the panel aft to allow rapid
entrance and exit, as well as freedom of movement for the
seat occupant.
2.12.3 Crew Chief/Gunner Seats.

WARNING
Do not store any items below seats. During a crash any obstruction will increase
the probability and severity of injury.

TM 1-1520-237-10

Two outward facing seats (Figure 2-10), one on each
side of the helicopter at the front of the cabin, are for the
crew chief/gunners. Each seat faces a window. Each seat is
a cable-supported steel tube assembly with a fire-resistant,
high strength fabric seat and backrest. Each seat contains
two lower energy attenuators designed and oriented to reduce personal injury in a crash. Each seat has a complete
lap belt and dual torso-restraint shoulder harness attached
to a dual action rotary release buckle. The shoulder harness
is connected to inertia reels on the seat back and bottom.
This gives the wearer freedom to move about his station.
On helicopters equipped with improved crewchief/gunner’s
restraint system, the restraint system is equipped with a
single action rotary release buckle with a guard. A release
plate must be pressed to allow rotation of release, preventing inadvertent handle rotation from contact with equipment, etc. The inertia reel lock control is replaced by a
shorter push/pull manual locking control. Push in and the
inertia reel is manually locked in place. When the control is
pulled out, the reel will lock on sudden pull.
2.13 TROOP PROVISIONS.

WARNING
Do not store any items below seats. During a crash any obstruction will increase
the probability and severity of injury.
UH In addition to crew chief and gunner seats, troop
seats may be installed for 13 persons. Each troop seat has a
belt and shoulder harness for body restraint. The backs and

seat pans are attached through cables to the cabin ceiling
and through cables and rods to seat fittings installed in the
floor. The seats may be installed in any quantity from 1 to
13. Each seat contains two lower energy attenuators designed and oriented to reduce personnel injury. In Row 1,
do not install a passenger/troop seat in the most forward
center position directly behind the cockpit center console.
When seats are removed from the cabin and stowed in the
storage compartment, adjustments must be made for weight
and balance using data in Figures 6-3 and 6-12.

Section II EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT
2.14 FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEMS.
Fire detection and fire extinguishing systems are installed so that a fire may be detected and put out at either
engine or the APU installation, without affecting the remaining two. The engines and APU are monitored by infrared radiation type sensing units, and protected by a main
and reserve high-rate discharge type fire extinguisher installation.
2.14.1 Fire Detection System. A detection system
provides fire warning to the cockpit in case of fire in either
main engine compartment or in the APU compartment. The
system consists of five radiation-sensing flame detectors,
control amplifiers, and a test panel. Two detectors are installed in each main engine compartment and one detector
is in the APU compartment (Figure 2-1). The flame detectors are solid-state photoconductive cells providing continuous volume optical surveillance of the monitored areas. In
case of fire, the detectors react to the infrared radiation and
send a signal to one of the three control amplifiers which in
turn signals the fire warning assembly lighting the proper
T-handle (Figures 2-7 and 2-13). Also, the master FIRE
warning lights will go on if a fire is detected (Figure 2-9).
The detector system automatically resets itself, with warning lights off, when the infrared radiation source ceases to
emit.
2.14.2 Fire Detector Test Panel. A test switch on the
FIRE DETR TEST panel on the upper console (Figure
2-7), when moved to positions 1 or 2, sends a test signal
through the system to put on the fire warning lights and
verify proper system operation to, but not including, the
photo cells. The No. 1 TEST position lights # 1 and # 2
ENG EMER OFF T-handles and APU T-handle and
checks all firewall mounted detectors. The No. 2 TEST
position lights # 1 and # 2 ENG EMER OFF T-handle
only, and checks all deck mounted detectors. The engines
and APU are completely enclosed within their own firewall
compartment, thus reducing the possibility of a false fire
warning from outside sources. Electrical power to operate
the No. 1 and No. 2 detector system is by the dc essential
bus through circuit breakers marked FIRE DET, NO. 1
ENG and NO. 2 ENG, respectively. Power to operate the
APU detector system is by the battery bus through a circuit
breaker marked APU FIRE DET.
2.14.3 Fire Extinguishing Systems. A high-rate discharge extinguishing system provides a two-shot, main and
reserve capability to either main engine compartment or
APU compartment. Two containers are each filled with liq-

uid and charged with gaseous nitrogen. The containers are
mounted above the upper deck, behind the right engine
compartment (Figure 2-1). Both containers have dual outlets, each with its own firing mechanism. Each extinguishing agent container has a pressure gage, easily viewed for
preflight inspection. The system also has a thermal discharge safety port that will cause a visual indicator on the
right side of the fuselage to rupture, indicating that one or
both containers are empty. Electrical power to operate the
No. 1 main and No. 2 reserve outlet valves is by the No. 2
dc primary bus through a circuit breaker, marked FIRE
EXTGH. Power to operate the No. 2 main and No. 1 reserve fire bottles outlet port valves and the directional control valve is by the battery utility bus through a circuit
breaker on the lower console marked FIRE EXTGH.
2.14.4 Fire Extinguisher Arming Levers (THandles). One APU T-handle is on the upper console
(Figure 2-7) marked APU, and two engine fire extinguisher
T-handles are on the engine control quadrant, marked #1
ENG EMER OFF and #2 ENG EMER OFF (Figures 2-4
and 2-13). The handle marked #1 ENG EMER OFF is for
the No. 1 engine compartment, the handle marked #2 ENG
EMER OFF is for the No. 2 engine compartment, and
APU is for the auxiliary power unit compartment. When a
handle is pulled, dc power actuates the fire extinguisher
logic module to select the compartment to which the fire
extinguisher agent is to be directed, and also energizes the
circuit to the fire extinguisher switch. The ends of the
handles house fire detector warning lights.
2.14.5 Fire Extinguisher Control Panel.

WARNING
In case of fire when ac electrical power is
not applied to the helicopter, the reserve
fire extinguisher must be discharged. Fire
extinguisher agent cannot be discharged
into No. 2 engine compartment if ac electrical power is not applied to helicopter.
The switch, marked FIRE EXTGH, on the upper console (Figure 2-7), has marked positions RESERVE-OFFMAIN. The switch is operative only after one of the ENG
EMER OFF or APU lever (T-handle) has been pulled.
When the switch is placed to MAIN, after an ENG EMER
OFF lever has been pulled, the contents of the main fire
extinguisher bottle are discharged into the corresponding

Change 9

2-25

TM 1-1520-237-10

compartment. When the FIRE EXTGH switch is placed to
RESERVE after an ENG EMER OFF lever has been
pulled, the contents of the opposite fire extinguisher bottle
are discharged into the selected compartment. The contents
of the fire extinguisher bottle discharge into the compartment of the last lever pulled.
2.14.6 Crash-Actuated System. A crash-actuated system is part of the fire extinguisher system. An omnidirectional inertia switch is hard-mounted to the airframe to
sense crash forces. Upon impact of a crash of 10 Gs or
more, the switch will automatically fire both fire extinguishing containers into both engine compartments. Electrical
power is supplied from the battery utility bus through a
circuit breaker on the lower console, marked FIRE EXTGH.

a. UH One hand-operated fire extinguisher (Figure 9-1)
is mounted on the cabin wall left of the gunner’s seat. A
second fire extinguisher is on the copilot’s seat.
b. EH Four hand operated portable fire extinguishers are
installed. One mounted on the right gunner window, one on
the left pilot seat, one on the DF operator seat, and one on
the ECM operator seat. The extinguishers are held in place
by a quick-release spring.
2.15 CRASH AXE.
UH One axe (Figure 9-1) is installed between the pilots’
seats in the cabin.

Section III ENGINES AND RELATED SYSTEMS
2.17 ENGINE.
The T700 engine (Figure 2-11), is a front drive, turboshaft engine of modular construction. One is mounted on
the airframe at either side of the main transmission. The
engine is divided into four modules: cold section, hot section, power turbine section, and accessory section.
2.17.1 Cold Section Module. The cold section module
(Figure 2-11), includes the inlet particle separator, the compressor, the output shaft assembly, and line replaceable
units (LRUs). The inlet particle separator removes sand,
dust, and other foreign material from the engine inlet air.
Engine inlet air passes through the swirl vanes, spinning the
air and throwing dirt out by inertial action into the collector
scroll, after which it is sucked through by the engine-driven
blower and discharged overboard around the engine exhaust duct. The compressor has five axial stages and one
centrifugal stage. There are variable inlet guide vanes and
variable stage 1 and stage 2 vanes. LRUs mounted on the
cold section module are the electrical control unit (ECU)
700 , or digital electronic control (DEC) 701C , anti-icing
and start bleed valve, history recorder 700 , or history
counter 701C , ignition system, and electrical cables.
2.17.2 Hot Section Module. The hot section module
(Figure 2-11) consists of three subassemblies; the gas generator turbine, stage 1 nozzle assembly, and combustion
liner. LRUs on the hot section module are ignitors 701C
and primer nozzles and ignitors 700 . The gas generator
turbine consists of a gas generator stator assembly and a
two-stage air cooled turbine rotor assembly which drives
the compressor and the accessory gear box. Stage 1 nozzle
assembly contains air cooled nozzle segments. The nozzle
assemblies direct gas flow to the gas generator turbine. The
combustion liner is a ring type combustor cooled by air
flow from the diffuser case.
2.17.3 Power Turbine Section Module. The power
turbine module (Figure 2-11), includes a two stage power
turbine, exhaust frame, and the shaft and C-sump assembly.
The LRUs mounted on the power turbine section module
are the thermocouple harness, torque and overspeed sensor,
and Np (% RPM 1 or 2) sensor.
2.17.4 Accessory Section Module. The accessory
section module (Figure 2-11) includes the top mounted accessory gear box and a number of LRUs. The LRUs
mounted on the module are the hydromechanical unit
(HMU), engine driven boost pump, oil filter, oil cooler,
alternator, oil and scavenge pump, particle separator

blower, fuel filter assembly, chip detector, oil filter bypass
sensor, radial drive shaft, fuel pressure sensor, and oil pressure sensor.
2.18 ENGINE FUEL SUPPLY SYSTEM.
The engine fuel supply system consists primarily of the
low pressure engine driven boost pump, fuel filter, fuel filter bypass valve, fuel pressure sensor, hydromechanical unit
(HMU), pressurizing and overspeed unit (POU) 700 , or
overspeed and drain valve (ODV) 701C .
2.18.1 Engine Driven Boost Pump. A low pressure
suction engine driven boost pump is installed on the front
face of the engine accessory gear box (Figure 2-11). It assures that the airframe fuel supply system is under negative
pressure, lessening the potential of fire in case of fuel system damage. Lighting of the #1 or #2 FUEL PRESS caution light at idle speed and above could indicate a leak, or
failed engine driven boost pump.
2.18.2 Fuel Filter. The fuel filter is a barrier type full
flow filter with integral bypass. An electrical switch lights
the caution panel #1 FUEL FLTR BYPASS or #2 FUEL
FLTR BYPASS caution light to indicate filter bypass. In
addition, a red button on the filter housing pops out when
filter element differential pressure indicates impending bypass. Power for the fuel filter bypass lights is from the No.
1 and No. 2 dc primary busses through circuit breakers
marked NO. 1 and NO. 2 ENG WARN LTS respectively.
2.18.3 Fuel Pressure Warning System. The engine
fuel pressure warning system for each engine consists of a
pressure switch that turns on the FUEL PRESS caution
light. Fuel pressure caution lights, marked #1 FUEL
PRESS and #2 FUEL PRESS will light when fuel pressure drops below 9 psi. This light can go on when fuel
pressure drops, due to failure of the low pressure boost
pump or an air leak in the suction fuel system. The effect
will vary depending upon the size of the leak. The effect
will be more serious at low engine power. A large enough
leak may cause a flameout. Power for the No. 1 engine fuel
pressure warning system is supplied by the No. 1 dc primary bus through the NO. 1 ENG WARN LTS circuit
breaker. Power for the No. 2 engine fuel pressure warning
system is supplied by the No. 2 dc primary bus through the
NO. 2 ENG WARN LTS circuit breaker.
2.18.4 Engine Fuel System Components. Control of
fuel to the combustion system is done by the HMU. The
HMU, mounted on the rear center of the accessory gear box

Figure 2-11. Engine T700 (Sheet 2 of 2)
(Figure 2-11), contains a high pressure pump that delivers
fuel to the POU/ODV. Various parameters are sensed by
the HMU and influence fuel flow, variable geometry position, and engine anti-ice start bleed valve operation. Fuel
from the HMU flows to a POU 700 or ODV 701C .
2.18.4.1 Pressurizing and Overspeed Unit.
700 The POU sends some of the fuel through the fuel start
manifold tube to the primer nozzles and allows back flow
of high pressure air for purging. The rest of the fuel is sent
through the main fuel manifold to the injectors for starting
acceleration and engine operation. It purges fuel from the
primer nozzles after light off. It purges fuel from the primer

nozzle and main fuel manifold on shutdown. It also reduces
fuel flow to prevent an engine overspeed when the overspeed system is tripped as sensed by the ECU.
2.18.4.2 Overspeed and Drain Valve. 701C The ODV
sends fuel through the main fuel manifold to the injectors
for starting acceleration and engine operations. It purges
fuel from the main fuel manifold and allows back flow of
high pressure air for purging. It shuts off fuel flow to prevent an engine overspeed when the overspeed system is
tripped as sensed by the DEC. It also shuts off fuel to
prevent hot starts when activated by the hot start preventor
(HSP).

2.19 ENGINE ALTERNATOR.

2.20 IGNITION SYSTEM.

2.19.1 Engine Alternator. 700 The engine alternator
(Figure 2-11) supplies ac power to the ignition exciter and
electrical control unit (ECU). It also supplies a signal to the
Ng SPEED cockpit indicator. All essential engine electrical
functions are powered by the alternator.

The engine ignition system is a noncontinuous ac powered, capacitor discharge, low voltage system. It includes a
dual exciter, two igniter plugs, ignition leads, and ENGINE
IGNITION keylock switch.
2.21 HISTORY RECORDER.

a. When the alternator power supply to the ECU is interrupted, a loss of % RPM 1 or 2 and % TRQ,indications
will occur, with corresponding engine(s) increasing to
maximum power (high side).
b. When the alternator Ng signal is interrupted, a loss of
Ng cockpit indication will occur with a corresponding ENG
OUT warning light and audio.
c. A complete loss of engine alternator power results in
affected engine(s) increasing to maximum power (high
side) with a loss of cockpit indications of % RPM 1 or 2,
% TRQ, and Ng SPEED; and an ENG OUT warning light
and audio will occur. Overspeed protection is still available.

700

The engine history recorder is mounted on the right side
of the swirl frame (Figure 2-11). It displays four digital
counters which records information for maintenance purposes only. The history recorder will only operate with an
ECU.
2.22 HISTORY COUNTER.

701C

The engine history counter is mounted on the right side
of the swirl frame (Figure 2-11). It displays four digital
counters which records information for maintenance purposes only. The history counter will only operate with a
DEC.
2.23 THERMOCOUPLE HARNESS.

2.19.2 Engine Alternator. 701C The engine alternator
(Figure 2-11) supplies ac power to the ignition exciter and
digital electronic control (DEC) unit. It also supplies a signal to the Ng SPEED cockpit indicator. All essential engine electrical functions are powered by the alternator.
a. When the alternator power supply to the DEC is interrupted, 400 Hz 120 VAC aircraft power is utilized to
prevent engine (high side) failure. There will be a loss of
the associated cockpit Ng indication and activation of an
ENG OUT warning light and audio. Overspeed protection
is still available.
b. When the alternator Ng signal is interrupted, a loss of
the associated engine Ng indication, and an ENG OUT
warning light and audio will occur. Because the DEC can
utilize 400 Hz 120 VAC aircraft power, there will be no
loss of associated % RPM 1 or 2 and % TRQ indications.

2-30

Change 8

A seven probe harness measures the temperature of the
gases at the power turbine inlet. It provides a signal to the
ECU 700 , or DEC 701C , that relays it to the history recorder 700 , or history counter 701C , through the signal
data converter (SDC) to the cockpit temperature gage.
2.24 TORQUE AND OVERSPEED AND % RPM
SENSORS.
Two sensors are installed on the exhaust frame of the
engine. One sensor provides the power turbine governor
and tachometer signal to the ECU 700 , or DEC 701C . The
other sensor feeds the torque computation circuit and overspeed protection system.

TM 1-1520-237-10

2.25 ENGINE BLEED-AIR SYSTEM.
Two bleed-air ports are incorporated on the engine. The
outboard port supplies bleed-air to the engine air inlet antiicing system as described in Section III. The inboard port
ties into the pressurized air system. Air from this port is
supplied to the cabin heating system and can be supplied to
the other engine for crossbleed starts.
2.26 ENGINE ANTI-ICING SYSTEMS.
2.26.1 Engine Anti-Icing.

CAUTION

The engine can incur FOD by improper
use of these systems and the other antiice/deice systems. For example, ice shedding off the windshield can cause FOD
damage to the engines.
a. The engine is anti-iced by two systems; the first described in subparagraph b is called an engine anti-ice system and a second described in paragraph 2.26.2 is called
the engine inlet anti-icing. Both of these systems are turned
on by the ENG ANTI-ICE NO. 1 and NO. 2 switches
(Figure 2-7).
b. Engine anti-icing is a combination of bleed-air and
heated engine oil. Anti-icing is controlled by a solenoidoperated air valve. The engine anti-ice/start bleed valve
opens during starting and will remain open at low power
settings until engine reaches 88 to 92% Ng, depending on
the outside air temperature, with anti-ice OFF. The engine
anti-ice/deice system is designed so that in the event of an
electrical failure the valve reverts to the anti-icing mode
and turns on an advisory light indicating #1 ENG ANTIICE ON or #2 ENG ANTI-ICE ON. Axial compressor
discharge air is bled from stage five of the compressor casing, routed through the anti-icing/bleed valve, and delivered to the front frame through ducting. Within the swirl
frame, hot air is ducted around the outer casing to each
swirl vane splitter lip and inlet guide vanes. The hot air is
directed within each vane by a series of baffles. Hot engine
oil passing within the scroll vanes in the main frame prevents ice buildup. Water, snow, and solids are carried out
through the inlet particle separator discharge system.
Switches marked ENG ANTI-ICE NO. 1 or NO. 2 OFF,
and ON, control engine and inlet anti-ice. At the ON position, compressor bleed-air is supplied continuously. Power
to operate the anti-icing system is by the No. 1 and No. 2
dc primary buses respectively, through circuit breakers,
marked NO. 1 ENG ANTI-ICE and ANTI-ICE WARN,

NO. 2 ENG ANTI-ICE and ANTI-ICE WARN respectively.
2.26.2 Engine Inlet Anti-Icing.
a. The engine air inlets are anti-iced by bleed-air from
the engines. Four advisory lights on the caution/advisory
panel, marked #1 ENG ANTI-ICE ON, #2 ENG ANTIICE ON, #1 ENG INLET ANTI-ICE ON and #2 ENG
INLET ANTI-ICE ON are provided for the engines. The
#1 and #2 ENG ANTI-ICE ON advisory lights will go on
when the ENG ANTI-ICE NO. 1 and ENG ANTI-ICE
NO. 2 switches are placed ON. When the anti-ice system is
operating and an engine is started, the inlet anti-ice valve
for that engine will close. The #1 and #2 ENG INLET
ANTI-ICE ON advisory lights operate from temperature
sensed at the engine inlet fairing. When the temperature
reaches about 93°C (199°F), the temperature switch will
turn on the appropriate ENG INLET ANTI-ICE ON advisory light. If this light goes on with the switches at ENG
ANTI-ICE NO. 1 and NO. 2 OFF, it indicates that heat is
being applied to that engine inlet and a malfunction exists.
Inlet anti-icing will turn on if dc primary power failure
occurs; dc electrical power is applied to keep the valve
closed. Functioning of ENG INLET ANTI-ICE is controlled as follows:
(1) Above 13°C (55°F) - Illumination of the ENG INLET ANTI-ICE ON advisory light indicates a system malfunction.
(2) Above 4°C (39°F) to 13°C (55°F) - The ENG INLET ANTI-ICE ON advisory light may illuminate or may
not illuminate.
(3) At 4°C (39°F) and below - Failure of ENG INLET ANTI-ICE ON advisory light to illuminate indicates
a system malfunction. Do not fly the aircraft in known icing
conditions.
b. At engine power levels of 10% TRQ per engine and
below, full inlet anti-ice capability cannot be provided due
to engine bleed limitations. Power to operate the valves is
normally provided from the No. 1 and No. 2 dc primary
buses, respectively, through circuit breakers marked NO. 1
and NO. 2 ENG ANTI-ICE, respectively. During engine
start, power to operate the No. 1 engine inlet anti-ice valve
is provided from the dc essential bus through a circuit
breaker marked NO. 1 ENG START. The #1 and #2 ENG
INLET ANTI-ICE ON advisory lights receive power from
No. 1 and No. 2 dc primary buses, through circuit breakers,
marked NO. 1 and NO. 2 ENG ANTI-ICE WARN, respectively.

2.27 ENGINE OIL SYSTEM.
Lubrication of each engine is by a self-contained, pressurized, recirculating, dry sump system. Included are oil
and scavenge pump, emergency oil system, monitored oil
filter, tank, oil cooler, and seal pressurization and venting.
The oil tank is a part of the main frame. Each scavenge line
has a screen at the scavenge pump to aid fault isolation. A
chip detector with a cockpit warning light is in the line
downstream of the scavenge pump.
2.27.1 Engine Emergency Oil System. The engine
has an emergency oil system in case oil pressure is lost. Oil
reservoirs built into the A and B sumps are kept full during
normal operation by the oil pump. Oil bleeds slowly out of
those reservoirs and is atomized by air jets, providing continuous oil mist lubrication for the bearings. A #1 ENGINE
OIL PRESS or #2 ENGINE OIL PRESS caution panel
light will go on when indicated oil pressure drops below 25
psi on helicopters without modified faceplates on the instrument panel 700 , or below 20 psi on helicopters with modified faceplates 700 , or 22 psi 701C . Power for the caution
lights comes from the No. 1 and No. 2 dc primary buses
through circuit breakers marked NO. 1 and NO. 2 ENG
WARN LTS respectively.
2.27.2 Oil Tank. The oil tank is an integral part of the
engine. Tank capacity is 7 US quarts. The filler port is on
the right. Oil level is indicated by a sight gage on each side
of the tank. Servicing of the tank is required if the oil level
reaches the ADD line. Overservicing is not possible because extra oil will flow out the filler port. The scavenge
pump returns oil from the sumps to the oil tank through six
scavenge screens, each one labeled for fault isolation.
2.27.3 Oil Cooler and Filter. The oil cooler (Figure
2-11) cools scavenge oil before it returns to the tank. Oil
from the chip detector passes through the oil cooler and is
cooled by transferring heat from the oil to fuel. After passing through the oil cooler, oil enters the top of the main
frame where it flows through the scroll vanes. This further
cools the oil and heats the vanes for full-time anti-icing.
The vanes discharge oil into the oil tank. If the oil cooler
pressure becomes too high, a relief valve will open to dump
scavenge oil directly into the oil tank. Oil discharged from
the oil pump is routed to a disposable-element filter. As the
pressure differential across the filter increases, the first indicator will be a popped impending bypass button. As the
pressure increases further, this indication will be followed
by an indication in the cockpit #1 or #2 OIL FLTR BYPASS, after which a filter bypass will occur. Power for the
caution lights is from the No. 1 and No. 2 dc primary buses
respectively, through circuit breakers marked NO. 1 and
NO. 2 ENG WARN LTS. During cold weather starting, or

2-32

on starting with a partially clogged filter, the high-pressure
drop across the filter will cause the bypass valve to open
and the caution lights to go on. The impending bypass indicator has a thermal lockout below 38°C to prevent the
button from popping. A cold-start relief valve downstream
of the filter protects the system by opening and dumping
the extra oil to the gear box case.
2.27.4 Engine Chip Detector. The chip detector is on
the forward side of the accessory gear box. It consists of a
housing with integral magnet and electrical connector, with
a removable screen surrounding the magnet. The detector
attracts magnetic particles at a primary chip detecting gap.
A common oil discharge from the scavenge pump is routed
to a chip detector wired to a cockpit caution light marked
CHIP #1 ENGINE or CHIP #2 ENGINE. If chips are
detected, a signal is sent to the cockpit to light a caution
light, marked CHIP #1 ENGINE or CHIP #2 ENGINE.
Power to operate the engine chip detector system is from
the No. 1 and No. 2 dc primary buses respectively, through
circuit breakers marked WARN LTS, under the general
headings NO. 1 ENG and NO. 2 ENG.
2.28 ENGINE START SYSTEM.
The pneumatic start system uses an air turbine engine
start motor for engine starting. System components consist
of an engine start motor, start control valve, external start
connector, check valves, controls and ducting. Three pneumatic sources may provide air for engine starts: the APU,
engine crossbleed, or a ground source. When the start button is pressed, air from the selected source is directed
through the start control valve to the engine start motor.
The #1 ENGINE STARTER or #2 ENGINE STARTER
caution light will go on at this time and remain on until the
starter drops out. As the engine start motor begins to turn,
an overrun clutch engages causing the engine to motor. As
the engine alternator begins to turn, electrical current is
supplied to the ignition exciter. Ignition will continue until
either the ENGINE IGNITION switch is moved to OFF
or starter dropout occurs. The ENG POWER CONT lever
is advanced to IDLE detent for light-off and acceleration.
A starter speed switch terminates the start cycle when cutoff speed is reached (52% to 65% Ng SPEED) and turns
off the starter caution light and engine ignition. Malfunction of the starter speed switch may be overcome by manually holding the start button pressed until reaching 52% to
65% Ng SPEED. To drop out the starter, manually pull
down on the ENG POWER CONT lever. To abort a start,
pull down on the ENG POWER CONT lever and move to
OFF in one swift movement. Power to operate the No. 1
engine start control valve is from the dc essential bus
through a circuit breaker marked NO. 1 ENG START.
Power to operate the No. 2 engine start control valve is

TM 1-1520-237-10

from the No. 2 dc primary bus through a circuit breaker
marked NO. 2 ENG START CONTR. For the 701C engine only, fuel flow to the engine will be automatically shut
off if TGT TEMP exceeds 900°C during the start
sequence 701C .
2.28.1 Engine Ignition Keylock. An ENGINE IGNITION keylock is installed on the instrument panel (Figure
2-9), to short out and prevent ignition exciter current flow
when the switch is OFF and the starter is engaged. The
switch is marked ENGINE IGNITION OFF and ON.
When the switch is ON, the shorts are removed from both
engine alternators, allowing exciter current to flow when
the engine alternator begins to turn. The ENGINE IGNITION is normally ON during flight and turned OFF at
shutdown. One switch serves both engines. If the switch is
OFF, neither engine can be started, although motoring capability remains. When an engine is to be motored without
a start, make certain the ENGINE IGNITION switch is
OFF. To prevent a possible hot or torching start never turn
the ENGINE IGNITION switch ON after motoring has
started. Abort start procedures must be done to remove excess fuel from the engine if a start was attempted with the
switch OFF.
2.28.2 APU Source Engine Start. The APU provides
an on-board source of air and auxiliary electrical power.
The APU bleed-air output is enough to start each engine
individually at all required combinations of ambient temperatures and enough to start both engines simultaneously
within a reduced range of ambient temperatures (Figure
5-5). The AIR SOURCE HEAT/START switch must be
at APU. Refer to Section XII for complete APU description.
2.28.3 Crossbleed Engine Start System. Crossbleed
engine starts are used when one engine is operating and it is
desired to start the other engine from the bleed-air source of
the operating engine. To make a crossbleed start, the operating engine must be at least 90% Ng SPEED. When the
AIR SOURCE HEAT/START switch is placed to ENG,
both engine crossbleed valves will open. Pressing the start
button for the engine not operating will cause the start valve
for that engine to open at the same time the crossbleed
valve for the starting engine will close, and remain closed
until starter dropout occurs. At 52% to 65% Ng SPEED,
the starting engine start valve will close, stopping bleed-air
flow to the starter. Power to operate the bleed shutoff valve
is from No. 1 dc primary bus through a circuit breaker
marked AIR SOURCE HEAT/START.
2.28.4 External Source Engine Start. The external
start pneumatic port (Figure 2-1) is on the left side of the
fuselage. It is the attachment point for a bleed-air line from

an external source for engine starting or helicopter heating
on the ground. The assembly contains a check valve to
prevent engine or APU bleed-air from being vented. The
external air source pressurizes the start system up to the
engine start control valves, requiring only that electrical
power be applied. If an emergency start is made without ac
electrical power, No. 1 engine must be started first because
the No. 2 engine start control valve will not operate without
dc primary bus power.
2.29 ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM.
The engine control system consists of the ECU 700
DEC 701C engine quadrant, load demand system and speed
control system.
2.29.1 Electrical Control Unit (ECU). 700 The electrical control unit controls the electrical functions of the engine and transmits operational information to the cockpit. It
is a solid-state device, mounted below the engine compressor casing. The ECU accepts inputs from the alternator,
thermocouple harness, Np (% RPM 1 and 2) sensor, torque
and overspeed sensors, torque signal from opposite engine
for load sharing, feedback signals from the HMU for system stabilization, and a demand speed from the engine
speed trim button. The ECU provides signals to the %
RPM 1 and 2 indicators, % TRQ meter, TGT TEMP
indicator, and history recorder.
NOTE
Phantom torque may be observed on the Pilot Display Unit (PDU) torque display of a
non-operating engine while the aircraft’s
other engine is operating during a ground
run. Phantom torque readings of up to 14%
have been observed on the PDU of the nonoperating engine. During startup of the nonoperating engine, its ECU will produce a
normal, positive torque signal which displays the correct torque signal on the respective PDU.
a. In case of an ECU malfunction, the pilot may override the ECU by momentarily advancing the ENG
POWER CONT lever to the LOCKOUT stop, then retarding it to manually control engine power. To remove the
ECU from lockout, the ENG POWER CONT lever must
be moved to IDLE.
b. The torque matching/load sharing system increases
power on the lower-torque engine to keep engine torques
approximately equal. The system does not allow an engine
to reduce power to match a lower power engine. If an en-

Change 8

2-33

TM 1-1520-237-10

gine fails to the high side, the good engine will only attempt to increase torque upward until its Np is 3% above
the reference Np.
c. The temperature limiting system limits fuel flow
when the requirement is so great that the turbine temperature reaches the limiting value of 837°C to 849°C. Fuel
flow is reduced to hold a constant TGT. It is normal to see
a transient increase above the 850°C TGT TEMP when the
pilot demands maximum power (Figure 5-1 transient limits). TGT limiting does not prevent overtemperature during
engine starts, compressor stall, or when the engine is operated in LOCKOUT (Paragraph 9.3e).

CAUTION

Delay in release of NO. 1 and NO. 2 ENG
OVSP TEST A and TEST B button may
result in Ng recycling below idle, resulting
in subsequent engine stall and TGT increase. To avoid damage, TGT must be
monitored during overspeed check.
d. Overspeed protection protects the power turbine from
destructive overspeeds. The system is set to trigger at
106%61% RPM 1 or 2 and will result in an initial reduced
fuel flow and will cycle until the cause of the overspeed is
removed or % RPM is reduced manually. Two momentary
switches marked NO. 1 and NO. 2 ENG OVSP TEST A
and TEST B on the upper console (Figure 2-7), are used to
check the circuits. Testing individual circuits A and B indicates that those systems are complete and performing correctly. Dual closing of A and B serves to check out the
actual overspeed system itself, the overspeed solenoid and
the POU. This check must be done only on the groundby
designated maintenance personnel. The overspeed protection is not deactivated when in LOCKOUT. Power to operate the overspeed system is from two independent
sources: the engine alternators as the primary source, and
the No. 1 and No. 2 ac primary buses as alternate backup
source in case of alternator failure. Circuit protection is
through circuit breakers marked NO. 1 ENG OVSP and
NO. 2 ENG OVSP.
2.29.2 Digital Electronic Control (DEC).
701C The digital electronic control unit controls the electrical function of the engine and transmits operational information to the cockpit. It contains a microcomputer processor in a conductive composite molded case. The DEC
can be fully powered by either the engine alternator or by
the 400 Hz, 120 VAC aircraft power. It incorporates logic
that will eliminate the torque spike signal during engine
start and shutdown.
2-34

Change 10

a. The DEC accepts inputs from the alternator, thermocouple harness, Np (% RPM 1 and 2) sensor, torque and
overspeed sensors, RPM R sensor and collective position
transducer for improved transient droop response, torque
signal from opposite engine for load sharing, feedback signals from the HMU for system stabilization, and the engine
speed trim button for Np demand speed reference.

CAUTION

Delay in release of TEST A/B button may
result in Ng recycling below idle, resulting
in subsequent engine stall and TGT increase. To avoid damage, TGT must be
monitored during overspeed check.
b. The DEC provides signals to the % RPM 1 and 2
indicators, % TRQ meter, TGT TEMP indicator, and engine history counter. It also provides signal validations or
selected input signals within the electrical control system.
Signals are continuously validated when the engine is operating at idle and above. If a failure occurred on a selected
input signal, the failed component or related circuit will be
identified by a preselected fault code (Figure 2-12) displayed on the engine torque meter. These codes are defined
in terms of engine torque. They are displayed for 4 seconds
on, 2 seconds off, starting with the lowest code and rotating
through all applicable codes, then repeating the cycle. They
will only be displayed 30 seconds after both engines are
shutdown with 400 Hz, 120 VAC power applied. They may
be recalled by maintenance and the engine restarted. The
pilot can suppress the fault code display of an engine by
depressing the associated cockpit overspeed test button
(TEST A/B). The pilot may recall it by again depressing
the associated cockpit overspeed test button.
c. In case of a DEC malfunction, the DEC may be recalled by maintenance only, and the engine restarted once
action has been performed.
d. The torque matching/load sharing system increases
power on the lower-torque engine to keep engine torques
approximately equal. The system does not allow an engine
to reduce power to match a lower power engine. If an engine fails to the high side, the good engine will only attempt to increase torque upward until its Np is 3% above
the reference Np.
e. The transient compensation system provides significant droop improvement during some maneuvers by monitoring engine torque, collective rate of change, and RPM R
speed rate of change.

TM 1-1520-237-10

f. The temperature limiting system limits fuel flow when
the TGT TEMP reaches the dual engine 10 minute limiting value of approximately 866°C. The automatic contingency power limiting will switch to a higher single-engine
2 1/2 minute temperature limiting value of approximately
891°C when the opposite % TRQ is less than 50%. Fuel
flow is regulated to hold a constant TGT. It is normal to see
a transient increase above the 903°C TGT TEMP limit
when the pilot demands maximum power (Figure 5-2 transient limits). TGT limiting does not prevent overtemperature during engine starts, compressor stall, or when the engine is operated in LOCKOUT (Paragraph 9.3e).
g. The hot start prevention system (HSP) is a part of the
DEC. It prevents overtemperature during engine starts. The
HSP system receives Np, Ng, and TGT signals. When Np
and Ng are below their respective hot start reference and

TGT TEMP exceeds 900°C, an output from the HSP system activates a solenoid in the ODV. This shuts off fuel
flow and causes the engine to shut down. The HSP system
requires 400 Hz, 120 VAC aircraft power be provided to
the DEC. The pilot can disable the HSP for emergency
starting purposes by pressing and holding the overspeed
test button (TEST A/B) for the engine being started during
the engine start sequence.
h. Overspeed protection protects the power turbine from
destructive overspeeds. The system is set to trigger at
120%61% RPM 1 or 2 and will result in a fuel flow
shut-off causing the engine to flame out. When % RPM is
reduced below the overspeed limit, fuel flow is returned to
the engine and engine ignition will come on to provide a
relight. This cycle will continue until the overspeed condition is removed. Two momentary switches marked NO. 1

individual circuits A and B indicates that those systems are
complete and performing correctly. Dual closing of A and
B switches serve to check out both the overspeed system,
and the overspeed drain valve (ODV). This check must be
done only on the ground by designated maintenance personnel. The overspeed protection is not deactivated when in
LOCKOUT. Power to operate the overspeed system is
from two independent sources: the engine alternators as the
primary source, and the No. 1 and No. 2 ac primary buses
as alternate backup source in case of alternator failure. Circuit protection is through circuit breakers marked NO. 1
ENG OVSP and NO. 2 ENG OVSP.

701C

2.29.3 Engine Control Quadrant. The engine control
quadrant (Figure 2-13) consists of two ENG POWER
CONT levers, two ENG FUEL SYS selector levers, and
two ENG EMER OFF T-handles. A starter button is on
each ENG POWER CONT lever. Each ENG POWER
CONT lever has four positions: OFF-IDLE-FLYLOCKOUT. Movement of the ENG POWER CONT levers moves a cable to mechanically shut off fuel or set
available Ng SPEED. The lever is advanced to FLY for
flight. This ENG POWER CONT lever setting represents
the highest power that could be supplied if demanded.
Power turbine speed (% RPM 1 or 2) is not governed until
the power lever is advanced from IDLE. The engine quadrant secondary stop, two stop blocks, the quadrant assem-

TM 1-1520-237-10

bly, and a latch on each ENG POWER CONT lever prevent moving the levers below IDLE detent. When
shutdown is required, the ENG POWER CONT lever must
be pulled out slightly, at the same time the latch release
must be pressed, then the ENG POWER CONT lever can
be moved below IDLE detent. After being moved momentarily to LOCKOUT, the ENG POWER CONT lever is
used to manually control Ng SPEED and % RPM 1 or 2.
With the ENG POWER CONT lever at LOCKOUT, the
automatic TGT limiting system is deactivated and TGT
must be manually controlled. The overspeed protection system is not deactivated when at LOCKOUT.
2.29.4 Load Demand System. With ENG POWER
CONT lever at FLY, the ECU 700 or DEC 701C and
HMU respond to collective signals to automatically control
engine speed and provide required power. During emergency operations, when the ENG POWER CONT lever is
moved to LOCKOUT and then to some intermediate position, the engine will still respond to collective signals.
2.29.5 Engine Speed Control System. An engine
RPM control switch on the collective grips (Figure 2-14)
controls the speed of both engines simultaneously. There is
no individual trim capability. It is used to supply a signal to
the ECU 700 , or DEC 701C for controlling % RPM 1 and
2 as required. The ENG RPM control switch allows adjustment between 96% and 100%. The pilot can override the
copilot’s control. Power for ENG RPM control system is
from the No. 2 dc primary bus through a circuit breaker
marked SPEED TRIM.
2.30 HOVER INFRARED
SYSTEM (HIRSS).

SUPPRESSOR

SUB-

The hover IR suppressor (Figure 2-2) provides improved
helicopter survivability from heat-seeking missiles throughout the flight envelope. The HIRSS kit has no moving parts.
It contains a three-stage removable core which reduces
metal surface and exhaust gas temperature radiation and
prevents line-of-sight viewing of hot engine surfaces. The
HIRSS channels hot exhaust gasses through the three-stage
core and inner baffle to induce the flow of cooling air from
the engine bay and the inlet scoops. The three-stage core
and inner baffle cold surfaces are coated with lowreflectance material. For further cooling, hot exhaust gas is
ducted outboard and downward by the engine, away from
the helicopter by the exhaust deflector, where additional
cooling air is provided by the main rotor downwash. Installation of each HIRSS module requires removal of the standard engine exhaust module and aft cabin door track fairings. HIRSS modules are installed on the basic airframe
equipped with HIRSS fixed provisions by two airframe
mounts. The aft fairings are installed using existing mount-

ing points and hardware. While operating in a non-hostile
environment, the inner baffle can be removed to enhance
helicopter performance.
2.31 ENGINE INSTRUMENTS.
The instrument displays (Figure 2-9) consist of ENG
OIL TEMP and PRESS, TGT TEMP, gas generator Ng
SPEED, power turbine speed (% RPM 1 or 2), rotor speed
% RPM R, engine torque % TRQ, and FUEL QTY to
provide the pilots with engine and subsystem monitoring.
Continuous indications of those parameters are indicated on
vertical scales, digital readouts and caution lights. Instruments without low range turn-off feature: % TRQ, TGT
TEMP, Ng SPEED, ENG OIL TEMP and XMSN TEMP
will remain on as parameter increases and go out as it decreases (Figure 5-1). Power for lighting the displays is from
the No. 1 and No. 2 ac primary and No. 1 and No. 2 dc
primary buses through the signal data converters.
2.31.1 Engine Oil Temperature Indicator. Each engine has an oil temperature sensor wired through the signal
data converter to a vertical scale instrument, marked ENG
OIL TEMP, on the central display unit; and to an engine
oil temperature caution light, marked ENGINE OIL
TEMP, on the caution/advisory panel.
2.31.2 Engine Oil Pressure Indicator. Each engine
has an engine oil pressure transmitter, downstream of the
oil filter, that sends readings to a vertical scale indicator,
marked ENG OIL PRESS, on the instrument display
panel; and to an engine oil pressure caution light, marked
ENGINE OIL PRESS, on the caution panel. The lower
precautionary and prohibited ranges will go out when
reaching the bottom of the normal range. 700 It may be
possible that during IDLE operations, the ENGINE OIL
PRESS caution light will go on. 700 If ENGINE OIL
PRESS caution light comes on at IDLE, verify oil pressure
is acceptable by setting Ng SPEED at 90%, check that
engine oil pressure is at least 35 psi. As pressure increases
above 100 psi 700 , or 120 psi 701C the respective prohibited scale changes to red.
2.31.3 TGT Temperature Indicator. The TGT indicating system consists of thermocouples transmitting to a TGT
TEMP indicator. The indicator assembly has two digital
readouts that indicate precise temperatures.
2.31.4 Gas Generator Speed (Ng) Indicator. The Ng
speed indicating system shows Ng speed for each engine.
The system consists of one alternator winding and Ng

the lower section of the instrument face plate. The threedigit readouts provide a closer indication of Ng SPEED.
2.31.5 Engine Power Turbine/Rotor Speed Indicator. Power turbine and rotor speed are indicated for each
engine on a single instrument marked % RPM 1 R 2 on the
display panel with three vertical scales (Figure 5-1). Power
turbine speed is indicated in % RPM 1 or 2 and rotor speed
% RPM R. Rotor speed is sensed by a speed sensor on the
right accessory module. Power turbine speed is sensed by a
speed sensor on the engine exhaust frame. At the top of the
panel are three warning lights that indicate varying degrees
of rotor overspeed. These lights remain on, once tripped,
and must be manually reset.

2.31.6 Torque Indicator. The torque indicating system
shows the amount of power the engine is delivering to the
main transmission. A torque sensor mounted on the exhaust
case measures the twist of the power turbine shaft, and
transmits this signal to the ECU 700 , or DEC 701C and
signal data converter into the torque indicator marked %
TRQ on the display panel, displaying readings for both
engines. Digital readouts giving torques for each engine are
at the top of the indicator. A photocell on the lower center
of the display will automatically adjust the lighting of the
% RPM and % TRQ indicators with respect to ambient
light.

TM 1-1520-237-10

Section IV FUEL SYSTEM
2.32 FUEL SUPPLY SYSTEM.
A separate suction fuel system is provided for each engine. Fuel is stored in two interchangeable, crashworthy,
ballistic-resistant tanks. The fuel system consists of lines
from the main fuel tanks, firewall-mounted selector valves,
prime/boost pump and fuel tanks, and engine-driven suction pumps. The prime/boost pump primes all fuel lines if
prime is lost, and also acts as an APU boost for APU starts
and operation. A selector valve, driven by cable from the
ENG FUEL SYS selector lever on the engine control
quadrant (Figure 2-13) permits operation of either engine
from either fuel tank. The engines and APU are suction fed,
the APU is fed from the left main fuel tank by a separate
fuel line. All fuel lines are routed in the most direct manner. The fuel line network includes self-sealing breakaway
valves that contain fuel in case of helicopter crash or malfunction. All engine fuel lines are self-sealing with the exception of the APU fuel line.

gine that normally feeds from the empty or low-level tank
is moved to XFD. This connects that engine to the other
tank through the crossfeed system. A check valve in each
crossfeed line prevents air from an inoperative engine’s fuel
line crossing to the operating one.
2.32.3 Fuel Filter. The engine fuel filter has a bypass
valve and bypass warning device. The filter is mounted on
the forward left side of the engine accessory gear box. An
impending bypass warning is incorporated on the filter
housing in the form of a popout button. The bypass valve
opens to assure continuous fuel flow with a blocked filter.
At the same time the valve opens, an electrical switch
closes to light the #1 or #2 FUEL FLTR BYPASS caution
light. Power to operate the bypass warning system is from
the No. 1 and No. 2 dc primary buses through circuit breakers marked NO. 1 and NO. 2 ENG WARN LTS, respectively.
2.33 ENGINE FUEL PRIME SYSTEM.

2.32.1 Fuel Tanks. Both main fuel tanks are crashworthy, self-sealing and interchangeable. Each tank contains a
pressure refuel/defuel valve, fuel quantity and low-level
sensors, high-level shutoff valve, low-level shutoff valve,
check valve sump drain, and a self-sealing breakaway vent
valve. (Refer to Table 2-4 for tank capacity.) Fuel tank
drains are in the sumps to permit removal of sediment and
water and provide fuel sampling.
2.32.2 Engine Fuel System Selector Control. Each
fuel system has a selector valve which is manually operated
through the ENG FUEL SYS selector lever on the overhead engine control quadrant (Figure 2-13). There is an
ENG EMER OFF T-handle on each side of the quadrant
which is arranged so that pulling the handle engages the
ENG FUEL SYS selector lever, bringing it to OFF. The
ENG FUEL SYS selectors are connected to the fuel selector valves with low-friction flexible push-pull cables. Each
lever can be actuated to three positions: OFF, DIR, and
XFD. With the selectors at OFF, the control valves are
closed, allowing no fuel flow to the engines. When the
selectors are moved forward to DIR, the selector valves are
opened, providing fuel flow for each engine from its individual fuel tank. If a tank is empty, or you wish to equalize
fuel in the tanks, the ENG FUEL SYS selector of the en-

NOTE
Priming engines using sump mounted fuel
boost pumps is described in paragraph
8.41.3.
A toggle switch on the upper console, marked FUEL
PUMP, FUEL PRIME, OFF and APU BOOST (Figure
2-7), when moved to FUEL PRIME, energizes the prime/
boost pump and solenoid valves to each main engine fuel
supply line and to the solenoid valve for the APU fuel feed
system. Advisory panel indication is displayed during this
mode by a light marked PRIME BOOST PUMP ON.
Prime pump capacity is not enough to prime an engine
when the opposite engine is running. Engines should therefore be primed individually with both engines off. The
prime/boost pump is actuated and the engine prime valve is
opened whenever the engine starter is operating. This provides fuel pressure to aid in a successful engine start. When
the engine speed reaches starter dropout speed, engine fuel
prime valve will close and the prime/boost pump will also
stop operating if the FUEL PUMP switch is OFF. Power
to operate the prime boost system is from the battery bus
through a circuit breaker marked FUEL PRIME BOOST.

2.34 FUEL QUANTITY INDICATING SYSTEM.
All internal fuel is continuously gaged with the FUEL
QTY gage system (Figure 2-8). The system consists of two
tank unit sensors (probes), one in each tank, a dual channel
fuel quantity gage conditioner, and a dual channel lowlevel warning system. The tank units are connected to the
fuel quantity gages marked FUEL QTY 1-2 on the central
display panel. A separate total fuel quantity readout numerically displays the total quantity of fuel on board. The
system may be checked out by pressing the FUEL IND
TEST pushbutton on the miscellaneous switch panel. The
vertical scales of the FUEL QTY indicator and the digital
readout should show a change, and the #1 and #2 FUEL
LOW caution lights on the caution/advisory panel should
flash. When the button is released, the scales and digital
readout will return to the original readings. The fuel quantity indicating system is powered by the No. 1 ac primary
bus through a circuit breaker, marked NO. 1 AC INST.
2.34.1 Fuel Low Caution Light. Two low-level sensors, one on each probe, provide signals which activate two
low-level caution lights indicating #1 FUEL LOW or #2
FUEL LOW. Those lights flash when the fuel level decreases to approximately 172 pounds in each tank. The illumination of these lights does not mean a fixed time period
remains before fuel exhaustion, but is an indication that a
low fuel condition exists. The fuel-low caution lights are
powered by the No. 1 dc primary bus through a circuit
breaker marked FUEL LOW WARN.
2.34.2 Fuel Boost Pump. The helicopter fuel system
contains an electrically-operated submerged fuel boost
pump in each fuel tank. When the pumps operate, they
provide pressurized fuel to the engine fuel inlet port. Each

2-40

Change 8

boost pump is controlled by a switch on the FUEL BOOST
PUMP CONTROL panel (Figure 2-8). The two-position
switch for each pump, marked ON-OFF, activates the
pump for continuous operation to maintain a head of fuel
pressure at the engine fuel inlet port, regardless of engine
boost pump discharge pressure. An advisory light near each
control switch indicates pump pressure and operation. A
check valve in each pump discharge line prevents fuel recirculation during fuel boost operation, and prevents loss of
engine fuel line prime. #1 or #2 FUEL PRESS caution
light going on is also an indicator to turn on boost pumps.
Power to operate the boost pumps is provided from the No.
1 and No. 2 ac primary buses through circuit breakers
marked NO. 1 and NO. 2 FUEL BOOST PUMP, respectively.
2.34.3 Refueling/Defueling. A pressure refueling and
defueling system provides complete refueling and defueling
of both tanks from one point on the left side of the helicopter (Figure 2-26). Closed circuit refueling uses the pressure
refueling system and its components. No electrical power is
required for the system during refueling or defueling. The
tank full shutoff valve is float-operated. A dual high-level
shutoff system acts as back up for each other. The two
high-level float valves close, causing a back pressure to the
fueling/defueling valve at the bottom of the tank, closing
the refuel valve. The tank empty automatic shutoff system
is a function of the low-level float valve opening to allow
air to be drawn into the line, closing the defuel valve. A
filler neck between the fuselage contour and the fuel cell is
a frangible (breakaway) connection. Gravity fueling is done
through filler neck on each side of the fuselage for the
respective tanks. Gravity defueling capability is provided
through the drains.

Section V FLIGHT CONTROLS
2.35 FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEMS.
NOTE
Flight near high power RF emitters such as
microwave antennas or shipboard radar may
cause uncommanded AFCS and/or stabilator
control inputs. Electromagnetic interference
(EMI) testing has shown that the master caution light may illuminate before or simultaneously with any uncommanded stabilator
trailing edge movement, with 4° or 5° of
movement being the maximum.
The primary flight control system consists of the lateral
control subsystem, the longitudinal control subsystem, the
collective pitch control subsystem, and the directional control subsystem. Control inputs are transferred from the
cockpit to the rotor blades by mechanical linkages, and
hydraulic servos. Pilot control is assisted by stability augmentation system (SAS), flight path stabilization (FPS),
boost servos, and pitch, roll and yaw trim. Dual cockpit
controls consist of the cyclic stick, collective stick and pedals. The pilot and copilot controls are routed separately to a
combining linkage for each control axis. Outputs from the
cockpit controls are carried by mechanical linkage through
the pilot-assist servos to the mixing unit. The mixing unit
combines, sums, and couples the cyclic, collective, and yaw
inputs. It provides proportional output signals, through mechanical linkages, to the main and tail rotor controls.
2.35.1 Cyclic Stick. Lateral and longitudinal control of
the helicopter is by movement of the cyclic sticks through
push rods, bellcranks, and servos to the main rotor. Movement in any direction tilts the plane of the main rotor blades
in the same direction, thereby causing the helicopter to go
in that direction. Each cyclic stick grip (Figure 2-14) contains a stick trim switch, marked STICK TRIM FWD, L,
R and AFT, a go around switch, marked GA, trim release
switch, marked TRIM REL, a panel light kill switch,
marked PNL LTS, a cargo release switch, marked
CARGO REL, and a transmitter ICS switch, marked RADIO and ICS. Refer to major systems for a complete description of switches on the cyclic grip.
2.35.2 Collective Pitch Control Stick. The collective
sticks change the pitch of the main rotor blades, causing an
increase or decrease in lift on the entire main rotor disc. A
friction control on the pilot’s lever can be turned to adjust
the amount of friction and prevent the collective stick from
creeping. The copilot’s stick telescopes by twisting the grip
and pushing the stick aft to improve access to his seat. Each

collective stick has a grip (Figure 2-14) with switches and
controls for various helicopter systems. These systems are:
landing light control, marked LDG LT PUSH ON/OFF
EXT and RETR; searchlight controls, marked SRCH LT
ON/OFF , EXT, L, R, and RETR; servo shutoff control
switch, marked SVO OFF 1ST STG and 2ND STG; engine speed trim switch, marked ENG RPM INCR and
DECR; and cargo hook emergency release switch, marked
HOOK EMER REL; HUD control switch, marked BRT,
DIM, MODE, and DCLT. All switches are within easy
reach of the left thumb. For a complete description of
switches and controls, refer to major system description.
2.35.3 Mixing Unit. A mechanical mixing unit provides
control mixing functions which minimizes inherent control
coupling. The four types of mechanical mixing and their
functions are:
a. Collective to Pitch - Compensates for the effects of
changes in rotor downwash on the stabilator caused by collective pitch changes. The mixing unit provides forward
input to the main rotor as collective is increased and aft
input as collective is decreased.
b. Collective to Yaw - Compensates for changes in
torque effect caused by changes in collective position. The
mixing unit increases tail rotor pitch as collective is increased and decreases tail rotor pitch as collective is decreased.
c. Collective to Roll - Compensates for the rolling moments and translating tendency caused by changes in tail
rotor thrust. The mixing unit provides left lateral input to
the main rotor system as collective is increased and right
lateral input as collective is decreased.
d. Yaw to Pitch - Compensates for changes in the vertical thrust component of the canted tail rotor as tail rotor
pitch is changed. The mixing unit provides aft input to the
main rotor system as tail rotor pitch is increased and forward input as tail rotor pitch is decreased.
2.35.4 Collective/Airspeed to Yaw (Electronic Coupling). This mixing is in addition to collective to yaw mechanical mixing. It helps compensate for the torque effect
caused by changes in collective position. It has the ability
to decrease tail rotor pitch as airspeed increases and the tail
rotor and cambered fin become more efficient. As airspeed
decreases, the opposite occurs. The SAS/FPS computer
commands the yaw trim actuator to change tail rotor pitch
as collective position changes. The amount of tail rotor
pitch change is proportional to airspeed. Maximum mixing

2-41

TM 1-1520-237-10

occurs from 0 to 40 knots. As airspeed increases above 40
knots, the amount of mixing decreases until 100 knots, after
which no mixing occurs.

2.35.6 Tail Rotor Pedals. The pedals contain switches
that, when pressed, disengage the heading hold feature of
FPS below 60 KIAS. Adjustment for pilot leg length is
done by pulling a T-handle, on each side of the instrument
panel, marked PED ADJ. The pedals are spring-loaded and
will move toward the operator when unlocked. Applying
pressure to both pedals simultaneously will move the pedals for desired leg position. The handle is then released to
lock the pedal adjusted position.

2.35.5 Tail Rotor Control. The tail rotor control system
determines helicopter heading by controlling pitch of the
tail rotor blades. Inputs by the pilot or copilot to the control
pedals are transmitted through a series of control rods,
bellcranks, a mixing unit, control cables and servos to the
pitch change beam that changes blade pitch angle. Hydraulic power to the tail rotor servo is supplied from No. 1 or
the backup hydraulic systems.

2.36 FLIGHT CONTROL SERVO SYSTEMS.
2.36.1 Primary Servos. Main rotor control loads are reacted by three, two-stage primary servos mounted on the
upper deck above the cabin, forward of the main gear box.
Each primary servo contains two independent, redundant
stages with only the mechanical input linkage in common.
If one stage becomes inoperative due to pressure loss, a
bypass valve within the depressurized stage will open, preventing hydraulic lock. Electrical interlocks prevent both
flight control servos from being turned off simultaneously.
If the input pilot valve to the servo becomes jammed, bypass automatically occurs. Automatic bypass is indicated to
the pilot by lighting of the associated PRI SERVO PRESS
caution light.

2.36.2 Tail Rotor Servo. Tail rotor control loads are reacted by a two-stage tail rotor servo mounted on the tail
gear box. With the TAIL SERVO switch at NORMAL,
the first stage of this servo is powered by the No. 1 hydraulic system. When the TAIL SERVO switch is moved to
BACKUP, the second stage is powered by the backup system. Should the first stage become inoperative, the backup
pump will come on and power the second stage. All aerodynamic loads are then reacted by the second stage.

position. To turn off the first stage primary servos, the SVO
OFF switch is placed to 1ST STG. To turn off the second
stage servo, the switch is placed to 2ND STG. The systems
are interconnected electrically so that regardless of switch
position, a system will not shut off unless there is at least
2350 psi in the remaining system. The servo shutoff valve
operates on current from the No. 1 and No. 2 dc primary
buses through circuit breakers marked NO. 1 and NO. 2
SERVO CONTR respectively.
2.36.4 Flight Control Servo Low-Pressure Caution
Lights. The first, second, and tail rotor stage servo hydraulic low-pressure caution lights are marked #1 PRI
SERVO PRESS, #2 PRI SERVO PRESS, and #1 TAIL
RTR SERVO, and will go on if the pressure is below its
respective switch setting, or if the servo pilot valve becomes jammed. The servo switches and warning lights operate on direct current from the No. 1 and No. 2 dc primary
buses through circuit breakers, marked NO. 1 SERVO
WARN and NO. 2 SERVO WARN, respectively.
2.36.5 Pilot-Assist Servos. Pilot assist servos are normally powered by the No. 2 hydraulic system. If the No. 2
hydraulic pump fails, the pilot assist servos and pitch trim
actuator are powered by the backup hydraulic pump. The
following units are pilot-assist servos: collective, yaw, and
pitch boost servos, which reduce control forces; and three
(pitch, roll, yaw) SAS actuators which transfer the output
of the SAS controllers into control actuations.
2.36.6 Boost Servo. There are three boost servos, collective, yaw, and pitch, installed between the cockpit controls and mixing unit, which reduce cockpit control forces.
The collective and yaw boost servos are turned on and off
by pressing the button marked BOOST on the AUTO
FLIGHT CONTROL panel (Figure 2-15). The pitch boost
servo is turned on when SAS 1 or SAS 2 is ON. The boost
shutoff valves receive power from the dc essential bus
through a circuit breaker, marked SAS BOOST.
2.36.7 Pilot-Assist Controls. An AUTO FLIGHT
CONTROL panel (Figure 2-15), in the lower console, contains the controls for operating the pilot-assist servos and
actuators. The panel contains SAS 1, SAS 2, TRIM, FPS,
BOOST and the FAILURE ADVISORY/POWER ON
RESET lights/switches. STICK TRIM and TRIM REL
switches on the cyclic sticks, are manually operated by either pilot or copilot.

2.37 AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM
(AFCS).
The AFCS enhances the stability and handling qualities
of the helicopter. It is comprised of four basic subsystems:
Stabilator, Stability Augmentation System (SAS), Trim
Systems, and Flight Path Stabilization (FPS). The stabilator
system improves flying qualities by positioning the stabilator by means of electromechanical actuators in response to
collective, airspeed, pitch rate and lateral acceleration inputs. The stability augmentation system provides short term
rate damping in the pitch, roll, and yaw axes. Trim/FPS
system provides control positioning and force gradient
functions as well as basic autopilot functions with FPS engaged.
2.37.1 Stability Augmentation System (SAS).
NOTE
As the vertical gyro comes up to speed or
when the system is shutdown, the derived
pitch/roll rate signal which feeds SAS 1 will
cause small oscillations in pitch and roll
SAS actuators. This is a temporary situation
and can be eliminated by turning SAS 1 off.
The SAS enhances dynamic stability in the pitch, roll,
and yaw axes. In addition, both SAS 1 and SAS 2 enhance
turn coordination by deriving commands from lateral accelerometers which together with roll rate signals are sent to
their respective yaw channels automatically at airspeeds
greater than 60 knots. The SAS 1 amplifier circuitry operates on 28 vdc power from the dc essential bus through a
circuit breaker marked SAS BOOST providing excitation
for the electronic components within the amplifier. AC
power from the ac essential bus through a circuit breaker
marked SAS AMPL is also required for normal operation
of the SAS. The SAS amplifier uses the vertical gyro roll
output to derive roll attitude and rate for the roll SAS commands and an ac-powered yaw rate gyro for the yaw SAS
commands. Loss of ac power to the vertical gyro or SAS
amplifier causes erratic operation of SAS 1 due to loss of
the reference for the ac demodulators. When this condition
is encountered, the pilot must manually disengage SAS 1.
In case of a malfunction of the SAS 2 function, the input
will normally be removed from the actuator and the SAS 2
fail advisory light on the AUTOFLIGHT CONTROL
panel will go on. If the malfunction is of an intermittent

TM 1-1520-237-10

nature the indication can be cleared by simultaneously
pressing POWER ON RESET switches. If the malfunction is continuous, the SAS 2 should be turned off. With
SAS 1 or SAS 2 off, the control authority of the stability
augmentation system is reduced by one-half (5% control
authority). Malfunction of the SAS 1 system may be detected by the pilot as an erratic motion in the helicopter
without a corresponding failure advisory indication. If a
malfunction is experienced, SAS 1 should be turned off.
SAS actuator hydraulic pressure is monitored. In case of
loss of actuator pressure, or if both SAS 1 and SAS 2 are
off, the SAS OFF caution light will go on.
2.37.2 Trim System. When the TRIM is engaged on
the AUTO FLIGHT CONTROL panel, the pitch, roll and
yaw trim systems are activated to maintain position of the
cyclic and tail rotor controls. Proper operation of the yaw
trim requires that the BOOST on the AUTO FLIGHT
CONTROL panel be on. The tail rotor and lateral cyclic
forces are developed in the electromechanical yaw and roll
trim actuators. Both yaw and roll trim actuators incorporate
slip clutches to allow pilot and copilot control inputs if
either actuator should jam. The forces required to break
through the clutch are 80-pounds maximum in yaw and 13
pounds maximum in roll. The longitudinal force is developed by an electrohydromechanical actuator operated in
conjunction with the SAS/FPS computer. When the pilot
applies a longitudinal or lateral force to the cyclic stick
with trim engaged, a combination detent and gradient force
is felt. The pilot may remove the force by pressing the
thumb-operated TRIM REL switch on the pilot/copilot cyclic grip. The pedal gradient maintains pedal position
whenever the trim is engaged. By placing feet on the pedals, the pedal switches are depressed and the gradient force
is removed. The pedals may then be moved to the desired
position and released. The pedals will be held at this position by the trim gradient. The pedal trim gradient actuator
also includes a pedal damper. The pedal damper is engaged
continuously, independent of electric power and the TRIM
switch on the AUTO FLIGHT CONTROL panel. Operation of the trim system is continuously monitored by the
SAS/FPS computer. If a malfunction occurs, the SAS/FPS
computer will shut off the trim actuator(s) driving the affected axis, and the TRIM FAIL and FLT PATH STAB
caution light will illuminate. If the malfunction is of an
intermittent nature, the indication may be cleared by simultaneously pressing both POWER ON RESET switches. In
addition to the trim release switch, a four-way trim switch
on each cyclic stick establishes a trim position without releasing trim. With trim engaged, the trim position is moved
in the direction of switch movement. The cyclic is moved
by the trim switch in one direction at a time. When FPS is
engaged, the TRIM switch changes the pitch and roll attitude reference instead of the cyclic stick position reference.

Figure 2-15. Automatic Flight Control System
(AFCS) Switch Panel
The trim system release feature permits the pilot or copilot
to fly the helicopter with light stick forces. The push-on/
push-off TRIM switch on the AUTO FLIGHT CONTROL panel or the TRIM REL switches on the pilot/
copilot cyclic grips may be used to release trim. When the
switch is ON, the trim system provides gradient and detent
holding force for pitch, roll, and yaw. When turned off, the
trim system is released and light cyclic control forces are
present.
2.37.3 Flight Path Stabilization (FPS).

WARNING
Pedal trim switches must be pressed while
changing the helicopter heading during
hover. Do not hold hover heading against
yaw trim force. A rapid release of pedal
trim force will allow the FPS heading hold
feature to immediately correct to the last
known engaged heading. This can result
in rapid, divergent helicopter heading deviations.

TM 1-1520-237-10

a. Proper FPS operation requires that the BOOST,
TRIM and SAS 1 and/or SAS 2 functions have been selected on the AUTO FLIGHT CONTROL panel. Although not required for proper operation, the FPS performance will be improved by the proper operation of the
stabilator in the automatic mode. To use the FPS features,
the pilot first assures that BOOST, SAS and TRIM are on
and operating, and then turns the FPS switch ON. The
desired pitch and roll attitude of the helicopter may be established in one of these ways:
(1) Pressing the STICK TRIM switch to slew the
reference attitude to the desired attitude.
(2) Pressing the TRIM REL switch on the pilot/
copilot cyclic grip, manually flying the helicopter to the desired trim condition, and releasing
the TRIM REL switch.
(3) Overriding the stick trim forces to establish the
desired trim condition, and then neutralizing
stick forces by means of the trim switch.
b. The trim attitude, once established, will be automatically held until changed by the pilot. At airspeeds greater
than 60 knots, the pitch axis seeks to maintain the airspeed
at which the trim is established, by variation of pitch attitude. When pitch attitude is changed by means of the
STICK TRIM switch, there is a delay from the time that
the STICK TRIM switch input is removed until the new
reference airspeed is acquired. This is to allow time for the
helicopter to accelerate or decelerate to the new trim speed.
The yaw axis of the FPS provides heading hold at airspeeds
less than 60 knots and heading hold or turn coordination at
airspeeds greater than 60 knots. For heading hold operation
at airspeeds less than 60 knots, the helicopter is maneuvered to the desired heading with feet on pedals. When
trimmed at the desired heading, the pilot may remove feet
from pedals, at which time the existing heading becomes
the reference, which is automatically held. To change heading, the pilot may activate one or both pedal switches, trim
up on the desired heading and remove feet from pedals. At
airspeeds greater than 60 knots, heading hold will be automatically disengaged, and coordinated turn engaged under
these conditions:
(1) STICK TRIM switch is actuated in the lateral
direction.
(2) TRIM REL switch is pressed and roll attitude
is greater than prescribed limits.
(3) About 1/2 inch cyclic displacement and a roll
attitude of about 1.5°. Heading hold is auto2-46

Change 10

matically reengaged and turn coordination disengaged upon recovery from the turn when the
lateral stick force, roll attitude, and yaw rate are
within prescribed limits.
c. To make a coordinated turn, the pilot enters a turn in
one of these ways:
(1) Changing reference roll attitude by pressing the
STICK TRIM switch in the desired lateral direction.
(2) Pressing TRIM REL switch on the cyclic grip
and establishing the desired bank angle with
feet off pedal switches.
(3) Exerting a lateral force on the cyclic stick to
achieve the desired bank angle, and then neutralizing the force with the STICK TRIM
switch.
(4) Keeping a lateral force on the cyclic stick for
the duration of the turn.
d. In each of these ways the ball should remain automatically centered during the entry and recovery from the
turn. If feet are on the pedals, care must be taken not to
apply too much force to the pedals to oppose their motion.
If the pilot intentionally miscoordinates the helicopter, the
result will be a pedal force roughly proportional to sideslip.
The pilot may release the pedal force by pressing the cyclic
TRIM REL switch with feet on pedals. During transition
through 60 knots airspeed, the pilot may feel a slight pedal
motion due to a switching transient which may occur when
the commanded coordinated turn pedal position differs
slightly from the pilot-commanded position. The FPS monitoring is automatic. If a malfunction is detected, the FLT
PATH STAB caution light will go on and the FPS will
either continue to operate in a degraded mode, such as
without heading hold, or without airspeed hold; or may
cease to function altogether. The pilot must take over
manual flight of the helicopter, and may either turn the FPS
off or evaluate performance to determine the degree and
type of degradation, and continue flight with the remaining
features. To help evaluate the nature of the degradation,
eight failure advisory indicators are displayed on two
FAILURE ADVISORY switches on the flight control
panel. These tell the pilot the type of sensor or actuator
which has experienced the failure. If a light goes on, it may
be turned off by pressing the lighted switch. All failure
advisory lights will be on at initial application of power.
The pilot may attempt to clear the indication of temporary
malfunction by simultaneously pressing both FAILURE
ADVISORY switches. If the FLT PATH STAB caution

TM 1-1520-237-10

light goes off, it may be assumed that normal operation is
restored. All FPS functions are provided by automatically
moving the cockpit controls.
2.38 STABILATOR SYSTEM.
a. The helicopter has a variable angle of incidence stabilator to enhance handling qualities. The automatic mode
of operation positions the stabilator to the best angle of
attack for the existing flight conditions. After the pilot engages the automatic mode, no further pilot action is required for stabilator operation. Two stabilator amplifiers
receive airspeed, collective stick position, pitch rate, and
lateral acceleration information to program the stabilator
through the dual electric actuators. The stabilator is programmed to:
(1) Align stabilator and main rotor downwash in low
speed flight to minimize nose-up attitude resulting from
downwash.
(2) Decrease angle of incidence with increased airspeed to improve static stability.
(3) Provide collective coupling to minimize pitch attitude excursions due to collective inputs from the pilot. Collective position sensors detect pilot collective displacement
and programs the stabilator a corresponding amount to
counteract the pitch changes. The coupling of stabilator position to collective displacement is automatically phased in
beginning at 30 KIAS.
(4) Provide pitch rate feedback to improve dynamic
stability. The rate of pitch attitude change of the helicopter
is sensed by a pitch rate gyro in each of the two stabilator
amplifiers and used to position the stabilator to help dampen
pitch excursions during gusty wind conditions. A sudden
pitch up due to gusts would cause the stabilator to be programmed trailing edge down a small amount to induce a
nose-down pitch to dampen the initial reaction.
(5) Provide sideslip to pitch coupling to reduce susceptibility to gusts. When the helicopter is out of trim in a
slip or skid, pitch excursions are also induced as a result of
the main rotor downwash on the stabilator. Lateral accelerometers sense this out of trim condition and signal the stabilator amplifiers to compensate for the pitch attitude
change (called sideslip to pitch coupling). Nose left (right
slip) results in the trailing edge programming down. Nose
right produces the opposite stabilator reaction.

tuator will restrict total maximum movement of the stabilator to about 35° if failure occurs full down, or about 30°
if failure occurs full up. The stabilator actuators receive
power from the dc essential bus and No. 2 dc primary bus
through circuit breakers marked STAB PWR. Since the dc
essential bus is powered by the battery, it is possible to
manually slew one actuator using battery power only. If the
stabilator is slewed up, regain automatic control by manually slewing stabilator full down, then push AUTO CONTROL RESET twice. Otherwise, when only one actuator
is slewed, it causes a very large mismatch between the two
actuator positions. This is detected by the fault monitor and
shuts down the automatic mode upon attempted engagement. Automatic control function sensors, airspeed sensors,
pitch rate gyros, collective position sensor, and lateral accelerometer receive power from the ac essential bus and
No. 2 ac primary bus through circuit breakers marked
STAB CONTR.
2.38.1 Stabilator Control Panel. The stabilator control
panel (Figure 2-8), on the lower console, provides electrical
control of the stabilator system. The panel contains a MAN
SLEW switch, a TEST button, and AUTO CONTROL
RESET switch with a push-to-reset feature. The automatic
mode will allow the stabilator to be automatically operated
from about 39° trailing edge down to 9° trailing edge up.
Manual operation is also restricted to these limits. If a malfunction occurs in the automatic mode, the system will
switch to manual, ON will go off in the AUTO CONTROL window, and the STABILATOR caution and
MASTER CAUTION lights will go on and a beeping tone
will be heard in the pilot’s and copilot’s headphones. It
may be possible to regain the auto mode by pressing the
AUTO CONTROL RESET. If the automatic mode is regained, ON will appear in the AUTO CONTROL switch
window and the caution lights will go off. The stabilator
automatic mode is held in the energized state within the
stabilator control amplifier. On certain occasions during interruption of dc power, such as switching of generators, it is
possible to have conditions where the stabilator automatic
mode may shut down. If the automatic mode shuts down
during flight because of an ac power failure, the helicopter
shall be slowed to 80 KIAS before power is restored. In this
case the AUTO CONTROL RESET switch may be
pressed to reengage the auto mode. If the automatic mode
is not regained, the MASTER CAUTION must be reset,
which turns off the beeping tone, and the stabilator controlled throughout its range with the MAN SLEW switch.
When initial power is applied to the stabilator system, it
will be in automatic mode. The TEST switch is used to
check the AUTO mode fault detector feature and is inop-

2.38.2 Stabilator Position Indicator. Two STAB
POS indicators (Figure 2-9) are on the instrument panel.
They give pilots a remote indication of stabilator position.
The copilot’s STAB POS indicator may vary from the pilot’s indicator as much as 2°. The indicator range is marked
from 45° DN to 10° up. The stabilator position indicator
system is powered from the ac essential bus 26V through a
circuit breaker marked STAB IND.

2.38.3 Cyclic-Mounted Stabilator Slew Up Switch.
Installed on each cyclic stick below the grip (Figure 2-14)
is a pull-type stabilator manual slew up switch. The switch
provides the pilot and copilot with rapid accessibility to
stabilator slew up. The cyclic slew switch is wired in parallel with the stabilator panel MAN SLEW-UP switch position. When the switch is actuated, the stabilator trailing
edge will begin to move up and continue until the up limit
stop is reached or the switch is released.

Section VI HYDRAULIC AND PNEUMATIC SYSTEM
2.39 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM.
The three hydraulic systems are designed to provide full
flight control pressure. The components of the hydraulic
systems are three hydraulic pump modules, two transfer
modules, a utility module, three dual primary servos, one
dual tail rotor servo, four pilot-assist servos, an APU accumulator, an APU handpump, and a servicing handpump.
There are three hydraulic pressure supply systems, number
1, number 2, and backup. All are completely independent
and each is fully capable of providing essential flight control pressure for maximum system redundancy. Complete
redundancy is accomplished by the backup pump providing
hydraulic power to both number 1 and/or number 2 systems
if one or both pumps fail. If two systems lose pressure,
there will be a slight restriction in the maximum rate of
flight control movement due to only one pump supplying
both stages with hydraulic power. An automatic turnoff feature is provided. When the SVO OFF switch (Figure 2-14)
is moved to 1ST STG or 2ND STG position, that stage of
the primary servos is turned off. When the SVO OFF
switch is moved to 1ST STG, the first stage of the primary
servos is turned off. A malfunction in the second stage will
cause first stage (which was turned off) to automatically
turn back on in case the backup system does not take over
the function of the failed second stage. If the second stage
is initially turned off, the sequence is reversed. An additional hydraulic handpump is provided for APU start system.

2.40 HYDRAULIC PUMP MODULES.
The hydraulic pump modules are combination hydraulic
pumps and reservoirs. The No. 1, No. 2, and backup pump
modules are identical and interchangeable with each other.
The No. 1 pump module is mounted on and driven by the
left accessory module of the main transmission. The No. 2
pump module is mounted on and driven by the right accessory transmission module. The backup pump module is
mounted on and driven by an ac electric motor. The reservoir part of each pump module has a level indicator window marked, REFILL, FULL, and EXPANSION. A pressure relief and bleed valve protects the pump from high
pressure in the return system. The pump has two filters: a
pressure filter and a return filter. A red indicator button on
each filter will pop out when pressure goes up 70 610 psi
above normal. The pressure filter has no bypass. The return
filter has a bypass valve that opens when return pressure
reaches 100 610 psi above normal. Each pump has three
check valves: one at the external ground coupling, one at
the pressure side, and one at the return side. A fluid quantity switch, mounted on top of each pump module, senses
fluid loss for that system. When the piston in the pump
module moves down to the REFILL mark, the piston
closes the switch, turning on a caution light marked RSVR
LOW. Each hydraulic pump has two temperature sensitive
labels mounted on the side. When a temperature level is
reached a circle turns black. There are two types of labels
used on the pumps. When the temperature label indicates
that a temperature of 132°C (270°F) has been exceeded, an
entry shall be made on DA Form 2408-13-1. The aircraft
should not be flown until appropriate maintenance action
has been taken.
2.40.1 Number 1 Hydraulic System. Number 1 hydraulic system operates with the rotor turning, and supplies
the first stage of all primary servos and the first stage of the
tail rotor servo. The system components are an integrated
pump module, a transfer module, first stage primary servos,
and first stage tail rotor servo. The primary servos are controlled by the SVO OFF switch (Figure 2-14). The switch
can turn off either first or second stage of the primary servos but not both at the same time. First stage tail rotor

servo can be manually turned off by a two-position switch
marked TAIL SERVO, on the miscellaneous switch panel
(Figure 2-8). If the fluid quantity of the number one pump
reservoir becomes low, a microswitch will complete an
electrical circuit to close the first stage tail rotor servo
valve. If fluid continues to be lost and the #1 HYD PUMP
caution light goes on, the first stage tail rotor shutoff valve
will open, allowing backup pressure to supply first stage
tail rotor. The logic modules automatically control the hydraulic system. The tail rotor servo is a two-stage servo but,
unlike the primary servos, only one stage is pressurized at a
time.
2.40.2 Number 2 Hydraulic System. The number 2
hydraulic system, which also operates with the rotor turning, supplies the second stage primary servo and the pilotassist servos. System components are the integrated pump
module, transfer module, second stage primary servos, and
pilot-assist modules. Second stage primary servos can be
manually turned off by the SVO OFF switch. The pilotassist servos cannot be turned off collectively, but SAS,
TRIM and BOOST servos can be manually turned off by
switches on the AUTO FLIGHT CONTROL panel. If
fluid quantity of the number two pump reservoir becomes
low, the pilot-assist servo becomes inoperative. If fluid continues to be lost, the #2 HYD PUMP caution light will go
on.

adequate three-phase ac power source. An internal depressurizing valve in the backup pump module reduces the output pressure of the pump upon startup of the electric motor.
This valve unloads the electric motor by reducing torque
requirement at low rpm. After about 0.5 second when main
generator is operating, or 4 seconds when operating from
APU generator or external power, the valve is closed and
3000 psi pressure is supplied to the hydraulic system. This
sequence reduces the current demand during backup system
startup. Pressure sensing switches in the number 1 and
number 2 transfer modules constantly monitor the pressure
output of the number 1 and number 2 pumps. Loss of pressure initiates the backup operation. The system then provides emergency pressure to maintain full flight control capability. A WOW switch on the left main landing gear
provides automatic operation of the backup pump when the
helicopter is in the air, regardless of BACKUP HYD
PUMP switch position, and disables the backup pump ac
thermal switch. A pressure sensing switch at the tail rotor
monitors supply pressure to the first stage tail rotor servo.
The backup pump can supply pressure to the first stage tail
rotor servo if the number 1 pump loses pressure. This gives
the pilot a backup tail rotor servo even with the loss of the
primary hydraulic supply, or #1 RSVR LOW. If a leak in a
primary servo system depletes the backup system fluid, the
backup reservoir level sensing switch will turn on the
BACK-UP RSVR LOW caution light, and the pilot must
manually turn off the leaking primary system.

2.40.3 Backup Hydraulic System.
2.41 HYDRAULIC LEAK DETECTION/ISOLATION
SYSTEM.
CAUTION

Whenever the No. 1 ac generator is inoperative (failed, or not on line) and the
BACKUP PUMP PWR circuit breaker is
out for any reason, ac electrical power
must be shut off before resetting
BACKUP PUMP PWR circuit breaker.
Otherwise, it is possible to damage the
current limiters.
The backup hydraulic pump system supplies emergency
pressure to the number 1 and/or number 2 hydraulic systems whenever a pressure loss occurs. It also supplies pressure to the number 2 stage of the tail rotor servo in case of
a loss of pressure in the first stage of the tail rotor servo or
#1 RSVR LOW indication. This system supplies hydraulic
pressure to all flight control components during ground
checkout. The backup system also provides a hydraulic
pressure for automatic recharging of the APU start system
accumulator. The backup hydraulic system pump module is
driven by an electric motor which can be powered by any

The leak detection/isolation (LDI) system protects the
flight control hydraulic system by preventing the further
loss of hydraulic fluid in case of a leak. The LDI system
uses pressure switches and fluid level sensors for monitoring pump hydraulic fluid level, and pump pressure for primary and tail rotor servos, and pilot-assist servos. When a
pump module reservoir fluid level switch detects a fluid
loss, the logic module follows the sequence detailed in Figure 2-16 to isolate the leak. To accomplish this, the logic
module operates the required shutoff valve(s) to isolate the
leak and turns on the backup pump when required. In the
cockpit the RSVR LOW caution light for that system
lights. Backup pump and shutoff valve(s) operation is automatic through the logic module. If, after the isolation sequence, the leak continues, the leakage is in the stage 1 or
2 primary servos and the appropriate SVO OFF switch
must be moved to the off position by the pilot. By placing
the HYD LEAK TEST switch to TEST, all leak detection/
isolation system components are checked electrically. After
a leak test has been made, the HYD LEAK TEST switch
must be moved to RESET momentarily, to turn off caution
and advisory lights that were on during the test. The

BACK-UP PUMP ON advisory light will remain on for
about 90 seconds. Refer to Chapter 8 Section II for test
procedure. Except for the HYD LEAK TEST switch, the
hydraulic leak system consists of components of 1st stage,
2nd stage and backup hydraulic systems. A WOW switch
contact prevents hydraulic leak tests from being made in
flight. Power to operate the hydraulic leak test system is
from the No. 2 dc primary bus through a circuit breaker,
marked NO. 2 SERVO CONTR and dc essential bus
through a circuit breaker, marked BACKUP HYD
CONTR.
2.42 TRANSFER MODULES.
The No. 1 and No. 2 transfer modules connect hydraulic
pressure from the pump modules to the flight control servos. Each module is an integrated assembly of shutoff
valves, pressure switches, check valves, and restrictors. The
modules are interchangeable.
2.42.1 No. 1 Transfer Module. This module has a
transfer valve, a pressure switch, a 1st stage primary shutoff
valve, a 1st stage tail rotor shutoff valve, a restrictor, and
check valves. The transfer valve is spring-loaded to the
open or normal position. If 1st stage hydraulic pressure is
lost, the valve automatically transfers backup pump pressure to the 1st stage system. The 1st stage primary shutoff
valve lets the pilot or copilot shut off 1st stage pressure to
the primary servos and prevents both stages from being
shut off at the same time. The pressure switch lights the #1
HYD PUMP light on the caution advisory panel when
pressure drops below 2000 psi and also sends a signal to a
logic module that pressure is lost in the 1st stage hydraulic
system. The restrictor allows fluid to circulate for cooling
under no-flow conditions. If a fluid leak develops past the
transfer module, the check valves prevent fluid loss on the
return side of the transfer module.
2.42.2 No. 2 Transfer Module. The No. 2 transfer
module is like the No. 1 module except that it supplies 2nd
stage pressure. The pilot assist shutoff valve turns off pressure to the pilot assist module. The 2nd stage primary servo
shutoff valve turns off pressure to the 2nd stage of the primary servos. The pressure switch turns on the #2 HYD
PUMP caution light on the caution/advisory panel when
2nd stage system pressure is below 2000 psi, and also sends
a signal to a logic module that pressure is lost in the 2nd
stage system.

2-52

Change 6

2.42.3 Utility Module. The utility module connects hydraulic pressure from the backup pump to the No. 1 and
No. 2 transfer modules, the 2nd stage of the tail rotor servo,
and the APU accumulator. A pressure switch on the module
senses the backup pump operating and turns on the
BACK-UP PUMP ON advisory light on the caution/
advisory panel. If the flow rate through the module to the
APU accumulator goes over 1-1/2 gpm, a velocity fuse
shuts off flow.
2.42.4 Logic Modules. Two logic modules, one in the
left relay panel and the other in the right relay panel, are
used to control the operation of the hydraulic systems. The
logic modules continually monitor the operation of the hydraulic systems by inputs received from pressure switches,
fluid level switches on the pump modules, and inputs received from control switches in the hydraulic system. The
outputs of the logic modules will either turn on lights on
the caution/advisory panel notifying the pilot of a failure,
and/or turn off one or more valves due to a system malfunction. All switching functions of the hydraulic logic
modules are automatic, except as shown by a dagger (†)
which indicates crewmember action (Figure 2-16).
2.43 RESERVOIR FILL SYSTEM.
A handpump and manual selector valve are on the right
side upper deck of the helicopter for system servicing. Refer to Figure 2-25 for servicing. The three hydraulic system
reservoir levels can be seen from the fill pump location.
The handpump reservoir contains a sight gage above the
handpump crank. A 1-quart level mark indicates a requirement for refill. Refer to Section XV this chapter for servicing.
2.44 PNEUMATIC SUBSYSTEM.
A pneumatic subsystem operating from bleed-air furnished by the main engines, the APU, or an external pneumatic power source, is used to drive the main engine starter,
for heating system operation and external extended range
tank fuel transfer. Bleed-air from the main engines is used
for engine inlet anti-icing subsystem operation. The heating
subsystem and the extended range fuel tanks use bleed-air
supplied by the main engines during flight, and on the
ground by the main engines, APU, or external source. The
subsystem contains check valves at each bleed-air source,
and a shutoff valve at each main engine.

TM 1-1520-237-10

Section VII POWERTRAIN SYSTEM
2.45 POWERTRAIN.
The powertrain consists of inputs from two engines, a
main transmission, intermediate gear box, tail gear box and
connecting drive shafting. Power from the engines is transmitted to the main transmission module through input modules. The main transmission is mounted on top of the cabin
between the two engines (Figure 2-1). It mounts and powers the main rotor head, changes the angle of drive from the
engines, reduces rpm from the engines, powers the tail rotor drive shaft and drives the accessory module. The main
transmission consists of five modules: two input modules;
the main module; and two accessory modules. The main
transmission has a built-in 3° forward tilt.
2.45.1 Input Module. The input modules are mounted
on the left and right front of the main module and support
the front of the engines. They contain an input bevel pinion
and gear, and a freewheel unit. The freewheel unit allows
engine disengagement during autorotation, or in case of a
nonoperating engine, the accessory module will continue to
be driven by the main rotor. The input module provides the
first gear reduction between engine and main module.
2.45.2 Accessory Module. One accessory module is
mounted on the forward section of each input module. Each
accessory module provides mounting and drive for an electrical generator and a hydraulic pump package. A rotor
speed sensor is mounted on the right accessory module and
provides signals for the VIDS. On the UH-60L an additional rotor speed sensor is mounted on the left accessory
module which provides input signals to the DEC for improved transient droop response.
2.45.3 Main Module. The main module contains the
necessary gearing to drive the main rotor and tail rotor
systems. It provides a reduction in speed from the input
module to the main module and the tail drive shaft.
2.46 MAIN TRANSMISSION LUBRICATION
SYSTEM.

CAUTION

UH−60A EH Prolonged nose-down attitudes
of 5 degrees or more may cause high main
transmission oil temperature.

The transmission incorporates an integral wet sump lubrication system that provides cooled, filtered oil to all
bearing and gears. The ac generators on the accessory modules also receive oil for cooling. Oil under pressure is supplied through internally cored oil lines, except for the pressure and return lines of the oil cooler. Refer to servicing
diagram for oil specification and servicing (Table 2-4). The
lubrication system includes two lubrication pumps that are
combination pressure and scavenge types operating in parallel. The main transmission may run at cruise flight for 30
minutes with loss of all oil. Main transmission oil pressure
may fluctuate when the aircraft is known to be in a nose-up
attitude (i.e., slope landings or hover with an extreme aft
CG). Pressure regulating and bypass valves protect the lube
system by returning excess high pressure oil back to the
inlet side of the pump. A two-stage oil filter and various
strainers in the sump prevent contamination. The oil filter
has a visual impending bypass indicator (red button) that
protrudes when the first stage filter becomes contaminated.
When the button pops the filter element must be replaced to
reset. A thermal lockout prevents button popping when oil
is cold and thick. The oil cooler uses a blower driven by the
tail rotor drive shaft to cool oil before it enters the various
modules. The oil cooler has a thermostatic bypass valve
that directs oil flow around the cooler when the oil temperature is below 71°61°C. Other warning and monitoring systems on the main transmission are: MAIN XMSN OIL
TEMP and PRESS caution lights, and XMSN TEMP and
PRESS oil temperature gages. An oil pressure switch on
the left accessory module, the farthest point from the
pumps, causes the MAIN XMSN OIL PRESS caution
light to go on when the pressure drops to 1462 psi. The
transmission oil temperature warning system is triggered by
an oil temperature switch at the oil cooler input to the main
module, near the tail takeoff drive shaft flange. A caution
light, MAIN XMSN OIL TEMP goes on when transmission oil temperature reaches 120°C. Temperature for the
gage is sensed between the sump and the pump. Pressure
readings are taken at the main module manifold. Electrical
power for the warning systems, except chip detection, is
from the No. 2 dc primary bus, through the MAIN XMSN
circuit breaker on the overhead circuit breaker panel.
2.46.1 Transmission Oil Temperature Indicator.
The transmission oil temperature indicator marked XMSN
TEMP is a part of the central display unit (Figure 2-9).
Refer to Chapter 5 for limitations. Power to operate the
temperature indicator and MAIN XMSN OIL TEMP caution light is provided from the No. 1 and No. 2 ac primary

buses through the signal data converters and the No. 2 dc
primary bus through a circuit breaker, marked MAIN
XMSN.
2.46.2 Transmission Oil Pressure Indicator. The
transmission oil pressure indicator, marked XMSN PRESS,
is a part of the central display unit (Figure 2-9). Refer to
Chapter 5 for limitations. Power to operate the pressure
indicator and MAIN XMSN OIL PRESS caution light is
provided from the No. 1 and No. 2 ac primary buses
through the signal data converter and No. 2 dc primary bus
through a circuit breaker marked MAIN XMSN.
2.46.3 Transmission Chip Detector System. The
transmission chip detector system consists of chip detectors
on the left and right input modules, left and right accessory
modules, the main gear box module, and caution lights
marked CHIP INPUT MDL-LH, CHIP INPUT MDLRH, CHIP ACCESS MDL-LH, CHIP ACCESS
MDL-RH and CHIP MAIN MDL SUMP. These detectors provide warning of chips in any of five areas of the
main transmission system. Each chip detector incorporates
a self-sealing provision so that it can be removed for visual
inspection without loss of oil. The magnetic plugs on each
chip detector attract ferrous particles at any of the detector
locations. The fuzz burn-off feature prevents false warnings
by burning off small chips and fuzz. The fuzz burn-off feature is deactivated when oil temperature reaches 140°C.
Deactivation of the fuzz burn-off feature does not disable
detection and illumination of caution lights. The main
transmission chip detector is also connected to a 30 second
time delay relay to allow small chips and fuzz to burn off
and/or wash away. Chips that are too large to burn off or
wash away trigger the detection system which illuminates a
caution light on the caution/advisory panel. The pilot or
maintenance personnel must check the caution/advisory
panel before removing power to determine the location of
the chip. The system is powered by the dc essential bus
through a circuit breaker on the upper console circuit
breaker panel marked CHIP DET.
2.46.4 Built In Test (BIT) Chip Detectors.
NOTE
The MASTER CAUTION PRESS TO RESET light may or may not extinguish after
being pressed to reset while the chip detectors BIT is in progress.
BIT chip detectors will automatically test for a continuous circuit from the caution/advisory panel to the individual
chip detector when power is first applied. Chip detector

caution lights illuminate during test and extinguish after
successful completion of test. When first placing the BATT
switch ON, the CHIP INPUT MDL-LH, CHIP ACCESS
MDL-LH, CHIP INT XMSN, CHIP TAIL XMSN,
CHIP INPUT MDL-RH, and CHIP ACCESS-RH illuminate immediately for approximately 45-70 seconds and then
extinguish. The CHIP MAIN MDL SUMP caution light
illuminates after a 30 second delay for approximately 30
seconds and then extinguishes. A caution light that does not
illuminate indicates a failed test on its chip detector circuit.
2.47 TAIL DRIVE SYSTEM.
Six sections of drive shaft connect the main module to
the tail rotor gear box. The shafts drive the oil cooler blower
and transmit torque to the tail rotor. Each shaft is dynamically balanced tubular aluminum. Multiple disc (flexible)
couplings between sections eliminate universal joints. The
shafts are ballistically tolerant if hit by a projectile and are
suspended at four points in viscous-damped bearings
mounted in adjustable plates and bolted to fuselage support
brackets.
2.47.1 Intermediate Gear Box. Mounted at the base of
the pylon is the oil-lubricated intermediate gear box (Figure
2-1). It transmits torque and reduces shaft speed from the
main gear box to the tail gear box. The intermediate gear
box may run at cruise flight for 30 minutes, with loss of all
oil. An internal metal fuzz suppression chip/temperature
sensor detects metal particles and gear box overtemperature
conditions, to light caution panel lights marked CHIP INT
XMSN and INT XMSN OIL TEMP.
2.47.2 Tail Gear Box. The oil-lubricated tail gear box
(Figure 2-1) at the top of the tail pylon transmits torque to
the tail rotor head. The gear box mounts the tail rotor,
changes angle of drive and gives a gear reduction. It also
enables pitch changes of the tail rotor blades through the
flight control system. The gear box housing is magnesium.
The tail gear box may run at cruise flight for 30 minutes
with loss of all oil. An internal fuzz suppression metal chip/
temperature sensor detects metal particles, and gear box
overtemperature conditions, to light caution panel lights,
marked CHIP TAIL XMSN and TAIL XMSN OIL
TEMP.
2.47.3 Intermediate and Tail Gear Box Chip/
Temperature Systems. The intermediate and tail gear
boxes contain identical chip/temperature sensors that indi-

TM 1-1520-237-10

cate in the cockpit when the gear box temperature is too
high, or a chip is present. The chip detectors incorporate a
fuzz burn-off feature which eliminates false warning due to
fuzz and small particles. When a chip is detected and will
not burn off, a caution light on the caution/advisory panel
will go on, indicating CHIP INT XMSN or CHIP TAIL
XMSN. Power to operate the chip system is provided from
the dc essential bus through a circuit breaker marked CHIP

DET. The oil temperature sensor is a bimetal strip that
reacts to temperatures. When the oil temperature reaches
140°C a switch closes to turn on a caution capsule in the
cockpit, marked INT XMSN OIL TEMP or TAIL XMSN
OIL TEMP. Power to operate the oil temperature system is
from the No. 2 dc primary bus through a circuit breaker
marked MAIN XMSN.

Section VIII MAIN AND TAIL ROTOR GROUPS
2.48 ROTOR SYSTEMS.
The rotor system consists of a main rotor and tail rotor.
Both systems are driven by the engines through the transmission system, with pitch controlled by the flight control
system.
2.49 MAIN ROTOR SYSTEM.
The main rotor system consists of four subsystems: main
rotor blades, hub, flight controls and the bifilar vibration
absorber. Four titanium-spar main rotor blades attach to
spindles which are retained by elastomeric bearings contained in one-piece titanium hub. The elastomeric bearing
permits the blade to flap, lead and lag. Lag motion is controlled by hydraulic dampers and blade pitch is controlled
through adjustable control rods which are moved by the
swashplate. When the rotor is not turning, the blades and
spindles rest on hub mounted droop stops. Upper restraints
called antiflapping stops retain flapping motion caused by
the wind. Both stops engage as the rotor slows down during
engine shutdown. Blade retaining pins can be pulled from
the blade spindle joint and the blades folded along the rear
of the fuselage. The bifilar vibration absorber reduces rotor
vibration at the rotor. The absorber is mounted on top of the
hub and consists of a four arm plate with attached weights.
Main rotor dampers are installed between each of the main
rotor spindles modules and the hub to restrain hunting (lead
and lag motions) of the main rotor blades during rotation
and to absorb rotor head starting loads. Each damper is
supplied with pressurized hydraulic fluid from a reservoir
mounted on the side of each damper. The reservoir has an
indicator that monitors the reserve fluid. When the damper
is fully serviced, the indicator will show full gold.
2.49.1 Main Rotor Blades. Four main rotor blades use
a titanium spar for their main structural member. The structure aft of the spar consists of fiberglass skin, Nomex honeycomb filler and a graphite/fiberglass trailing edge. The
leading edge of each blade has a titanium abrasion strip, the
outboard portion of which is protected by a replaceable
nickel strip. Electro-thermal blankets are bonded into the
blades leading edge for deicing. A Blade Inspection Method
(BIMt) indicator (Figure 2-17), is installed on each blade
at the root end trailing edge to visually indicate when blade

spar structural integrity is degraded. If a spar crack occurs,
or a seal leaks, nitrogen will escape from the spar. When
the pressure drops below minimum the indicator will show
red bands. A manual test lever is installed on each BIMt
indicator to provide a maintenance check. The blades are
attached to the rotor head by two quick-release expandable
pins, that require no tools to either remove or install. To
conserve space, all blades can be folded to the rear and
downward along the tail cone. When mooring, the blades
can be tied down with a fitting on the bottom of each blade.
2.49.2 Main Rotor Gust Lock. The gust lock prevents
the blades from rotating when the helicopter is parked. The
gust lock is designed to withstand torque from one engine
at IDLE, and thus allow engine maintenance checks independent of drive train rotation. The locking system consists
of a locking handle at the rear of the cabin (Figure 2-5), a
GUST LOCK caution light on the caution/advisory panel
(Figure 2-9), and a locking device and teeth on the tail rotor
takeoff flange of the main transmission. The lock shall only

be released when both engines are shut down. Power to
operate the caution light is provided from the No. 1 dc
primary bus through a circuit breaker marked LIGHTS
ADVSY.
2.50 TAIL ROTOR SYSTEM.
A cross-beam tail rotor blade system provides antitorque action and directional control. The blades are of
graphite and fiberglass construction. Blade flap and pitch
change motion is provided by deflection of the flexible
graphite fiber spar. This feature eliminates all bearings and
lubrication. The spar is a continuous member running from
the tip of one blade to the tip of the opposite blade. Electrothermal blankets are bonded into the blade leading edge for
deicing. The tail rotor head and blades are installed on the
right side of the tail pylon, canted 20° upward. In addition
to providing directional control and anti-torque reaction,
the tail rotor provides 2.5% of the total lifting force in a
hover. A spring-loaded feature of the tail rotor control system will provide a setting of the tail rotor blades for balance flight at cruise power setting in case of complete loss
of tail rotor control.

Section IX UTILITY SYSTEMS
2.52 WINDSHIELD WIPERS.
Two electrically-operated windshield wipers are installed, one on the pilot’s windshield and one on the copilot’s windshield (Figure 2-1). Both wiper arms are driven
by a common motor through flexible drives and converters.
Power to operate the windshield wiper system is from No.
1 ac primary bus through a circuit breaker, marked
WSHLD WIPER.
NOTE
The use of rain repellent on the windshields
will improve visibility above speeds of 50
KIAS. Rain repellent may be locally purchased.
2.52.1 Windshield Wiper Control.

CAUTION

To prevent possible damage to windshield
surface, do not operate windshield wipers
on a dry windshield.
Control of the windshield wipers is through a springloaded rotary switch on the upper console (Figure 2-7). The
switch is labeled WINDSHIELD WIPER, with marked
positions PARK-OFF-LOW-HI. When the switch is
turned from OFF to LOW or HI, the wipers will operate at
the corresponding speed. The wipers will stop at any position when the switch is turned OFF. When the switch is
turned to PARK, the wipers will return to the inboard
windshield frame and stop. When the switch is released, it
will return to OFF.
2.52.2 Windshield Anti-Ice/Defogging System.

CAUTION

Continued use of a faulty windshield antiice system may result in structural damage (delamination and/or cracking) to the
windshield.

Pilot’s, copilot’s and center windshields (on helicopters
equipped with center windshield anti-ice system) are electrically anti-iced and defogged. Transparent conductors imbedded between the laminations provide heat when electrical power is applied. The temperature of each panel is
controlled to a heat level of about 43°C (109°F). The windshield anti-ice system fault monitoring circuit prevents
windshield burnout when the windshield surface heat is
above 43°C (109°F). If heat increases, the monitor circuit
will turn off the system. Three switches, one for the pilot,
one for the copilot and one for the center windshield, (when
equipped) are on the upper console (Figure 2-7) with markings of WINDSHIELD ANTI-ICE PILOT-OFF-ON, and
COPILOT-OFF-ON. On helicopters equipped with center
windshield anti-ice an additional switch to control the center windshield is marked WINDSHIELD ANTI-ICECTR-OFF-ON. Power to operate the anti-icing system is
provided by the No. 1 and No. 2 ac primary buses through
circuit breakers marked PILOT WSHLD ANTI-ICE and
CPLT WSHLD ANTI-ICE. On helicopters equipped with
center windshield anti-ice, pilot and center windshield antiice circuit breakers are marked WINDSHIELD ANTI-ICE
PILOT and CTR. Power to control the anti-ice system is
provided by the No. 1 and No. 2 dc primary buses through
circuit breakers marked CPLT WSHLD ANTI-ICE and
PILOT WSHLD ANTI-ICE respectively. On helicopters
equipped with center windshield anti-ice system, control
circuit breakers for pilot’s and center windshield are on the
No. 2 dc primary bus and are marked WINDSHIELD
ANTI-ICE PILOT and CTR. If the APU generator is the
sole source of ac-generated power, the backup pump and
the windshield anti-ice cannot be used simultaneously.
2.53 PITOT HEATER.
Pitot tube heat is provided by heating elements within
each pitot tube head. Power to operate both heating elements is controlled by a single switch on the upper console,
marked PITOT HEAT OFF and ON. When the switch is
placed ON, current flows to the heating elements. Current
sensors in the circuits sense the current flow and keep the
caution lights, marked LFT PITOT HEAT and RT PITOT HEAT, turned off. If a heating element fails, the
current sensor will detect no current flow, and turn on the
caution light for that pitot tube. Power to operate the pitot
tube heaters is provided from the No. 2 ac primary bus for
the right pitot tube, through a circuit breaker marked RT
PITOT HEAT, and from the No. 1 ac primary bus for the
left pitot tube, through a circuit breaker marked LEFT PI-

2.54 ROTOR BLADE DEICE KIT.

CAUTION

Blade deice operation with erosion strips
installed may cause blade damage.
The rotor blade deice kit (Figure 2-18) consists of the
following: deice control panel, deice test panel, system controller, power distributor, main and tail sliprings, main and
tail blade heating elements, droop stop heaters, caution
lights, outside air temperature (OAT) sensor, a modified
ambient temperature sense line and an icing rate meter subsystem. The blade deice system provides improved mission
performance in icing conditions by applying controlled
electrical power to integral heating elements in the main
and tail rotor blades, causing the ice bond layer to melt,
allowing symmetrical ice shedding. Droop stop heaters apply heat to the droop stop hinge pins, to prevent icing and
permit proper operation. The heaters are electrically powered continuously whenever the blade deice system is operating, either with the power switch ON, or the system in
the TEST mode. The blade deice system, excluding
element-on-time (EOT) failure, may be ground checked using the APU generator. To prevent generator overload when
only the APU generator is operating, an interlock system is
installed to inhibit blade deice test if the backup pump is
operating. If the backup pump should go on during the test
cycle, the MR DE-ICE FAIL caution light will go on immediately, alerting the crew to an invalid test attempt. The
test cycle must then be initiated again. The OAT sensor,
installed below the windshield, provides a signal to the controller for heating EOT of the rotor blades. The lower the
OAT, the longer EOT will be. To reduce power requirements, the blades are deiced in cycles. Power to operate the
blade deice is provided from the No. 1 and No. 2 ac primary buses and No. 2 dc primary bus through circuit breakers, marked ICE-DET, DE-ICE CNTRLR, and DE-ICE
PWR TAIL ROTOR, on the mission readiness circuit
breaker panel in the cabin. Main blade deice power is
routed through current limiters in the deice junction box.
When one main generator is inoperative, deice power can
be supplied by the APU generator.
2.54.1 Blade Deice System Operation. The ice detector is operational anytime power is applied to the heli-

2-58

Change 8

copter. The ice detector senses ice accumulation on a vibrating probe by a change in probe frequency. The
frequency change is processed by the ice rate meter. The
ice rate meter provides a visual display of icing intensity, T
(trace), L (light) blue, M (moderate) yellow, and H (heavy)
red. Also, the ice rate meter sends a signal to the ICE
DETECTED caution light when the BLADE DE-ICE
POWER switch is off, informing the pilot of the requirement to turn on the system. When the system has been
turned on by placing the POWER switch ON, the ice detector aspirator heater is turned on, and the ICE DETECTED caution light is turned off. If the MODE switch
is at AUTO, the rate meter sends an ice rate signal to the
controller. The controller processes the ice rate signal to
produce heater element-off-time, and the OAT signal to
produce the heater EOT. The controller sends command
signals through the main rotor sliprings to the system distributor which responds to controller signals by switching
power in sequence to the main rotor blade heater zones.
Tail rotor blade power is switched directly by the controller
and sent through the tail rotor sliprings to the tail rotor
blades. A tail blade distributor is not required since the
power is applied to the four tail blades simultaneously. The
deice control panel contains a rotary switch which allows
automatic or manual control of blade heater element-offtime. In AUTO (automatic), the ice rate signal is passed on
to the controller, which results in off-time variations proportional to the ice rate. In MANUAL, T, L, or M, fixed
signals are transmitted to the controller, resulting in fixed
element-off-time. Ice rate subsystem malfunctions are indicated by the appearance of a FAIL flag on the rate meter
face, requiring operation of the blade deice system in one
of the three manual modes. MANUAL mode should also
be used when the rate meter has no indicated malfunction,
but any of these three conditions has occurred: 1. Pilot has
determined by his judgment of ice intensity that the ice rate
system is inaccurate. 2. Torque required has increased to an
unacceptable level. 3. Helicopter vibration has increased to
an unacceptable level. During a single main generator failure, blade deice will be dropped until the APU is started
and the APU generator switch is placed ON. Even though
the APU generator switch is ON and providing power to
the blade deice system, the APU GEN ON advisory light
will not be on because of one main generator operating.

2.54.3 Blade Deice Test. The BLADE DE-ICE TEST
panel (Figure 2-18) allows the pilot to check the blade deice system for failures that are otherwise dormant during
the normal TEST mode, but that can allow abnormal operation during use. The panel accomplishes this by introducing selected failure signals into the system and requiring
the deice controller built-in-test circuitry to function in a
specific manner. The blade deice test should be done during
the ground checkout before each flight when blade deice
use is anticipated. In the NORM position, the test panel
allows system test to be done without the introduction of
false failure signals. Thus, the system should complete its
self checkout cycle without failure indications on the caution panel. In the SYNC 1 and SYNC 2 positions, the test
panel interrupts the distributor sync line and provides the

2-60

controller with a false sync input. The controller must interpret these false signals as indications of distributor failure, and produce MR DE-ICE FAIL caution light for both
cases. In the OAT position, the test panel short circuits the
OAT sensor input to the controller. BITE circuitry within
the controller must sense the simulated failure and turn on
both the MR DE-ICE FAIL and TR DE-ICE FAIL caution lights. In the EOT position, the test panel biases BITE
circuitry in the controller and the OAT sensor to simulate
malfunctioning primary EOT timing circuits. The biased
BITE circuit is thus deceived into believing that the primary circuits are in error. The controller must turn on both
the MR DE-ICE FAIL and TR DE-ICE FAIL lights when
this occurs. The test panel also functions automatically during blade deice system use to sense contradictory signals
from the deice power circuits. If electrical power remains
applied to either the main or tail rotor heating elements
after the controller signals a FAIL condition or when the
system is OFF, then the corresponding PWR monitor light
on the BLADE DE-ICE TEST panel turns on. The light
informs the crew that further action is required to isolate
the deice loads indicated. The test panel provides a reliability check of critical deice system functions. The pilot, after
doing the indicated tests properly, can be confident that the
deice system primary and BITE electronics are functioning
within specified tolerances.
2.54.4 Blade Deice Test Panel. The control for selecting test functions of the blade deice system is on the
BLADE DE-ICE TEST panel (Figure 2-18). Two PWR

the opening between the pilot’s compartment and the cabin.
Velcro tape is bonded to the cabin structure and the curtains
with an adhesive. Loops are attached to the curtains to aid
removal.
2.56 WIRE STRIKE PROTECTION SYSTEM.
On helicopters equipped with wire strike protection provisions, the system (Figure 2-1) is a simple, lightweight,
positive system with no motorized or pyrotechnic components used to cut, break, or deflect wires that may strike the

helicopter in the frontal area between the tires and fuselage,
and between the fuselage and main rotor in level flight. The
system consists of nine cutters/deflectors located on the fuselage and landing gear/support. They are: upper cutter on
the rear of the sliding fairing, the pitot cutter/deflector on
the front of the sliding fairing, windshield post and wiper
deflectors, door hinge deflector, step extension and step deflector, landing gear joint deflector, main landing gear
cutter/deflector, and tail landing gear deflector.
2.57 FLIGHT DATA RECORDER (ON HELICOPTERS EQUIPPED WITH FLIGHT DATA RECORDER
KIT).
The flight data recorder system installed in the aft transition avionics compartment is a crash survivable digital
tape recorder providing 25 hours of recorded data on a
continuous loop magnetic tape. Flight data input to the recorder is sent from different locations throughout the helicopter. The recorder begins to record data as soon as ac and
dc essential power is supplied to the helicopter. Electrical
power to operate the data recorder system is provided from
the dc essential bus and ac essential bus through circuit
breakers marked FLT REC on the mission readiness circuit breaker panel. There are no controls provided to the
pilot or copilot for control of the recorder.
2.58 DATA COMPARTMENTS.
Data Compartments are on each cockpit door (Figure

Section X HEATING, VENTILATING, COOLING,
AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL UNIT
2.59 HEATING SYSTEM.
The subsystem consists of a heated air source, cold air
source, mixing unit, temperature sensing unit, overtemperature sensor, controls, ducting and registers. The heating
system is a bleed-air system and bleed-air supplied in flight
by the main engines, and on the ground by the main engines or the APU. An external connector allows connection
of an external ground source in to the pneumatic system,
that can provide heat when connected. Power to operate
electrical components of the heating system is by the No. 1
dc primary bus through a circuit breaker, marked AIR
SOURCE HEAT/START.
2.59.1 Winterized Heater. The winterized heater consists of a high bleed-air flow mixing valve and a modulation valve. The mixing valve is of enough capacity to keep
the interior temperature of the helicopter at 4°C (39°F), to
ambient temperatures down to -54°C (-65°F). The mixture
sensor controls air mixing to allow control of temperature
used for cabin heat. Bleed-air is mixed with ambient air to
get the desired temperature selected by the variable temperature control on the HEATER control panel (Figure
2-7). Bleed-air is regulated with the modulation valve for
downstream mixing with ambient air when the HEATER
control switch is ON. Overtemperature is prevented by two
overtemperature sensors that deenergize solenoid valves
when bleed-air temperature reaches about 90° to 96°C
(194° to 205°F) at the inlet to the mixing valve or in the
mixing chamber. The temperature sensors control current
flow to the on-off solenoid and the winterization solenoid to
hold them energized, allowing bleed-air to flow to the mixing chamber. When the ENG ANTI-ICE switch is placed
ON or a dc power failure occurs, the winterization solenoid
will deenergize. An interlock system between engine antiice system and the heater winterization solenoid valve prevents engine overbleed by reducing bleed-air flow to the
heater when an ENG ANTI-ICE switch is ON. Operation
of the winterization heating system is the same as in Paragraph 2.59.3.
2.59.2 Heat and Ventilation Controls. A variable
control air mixing valve assembly is used to control the
temperature of air for cabin heating in the helicopter.
Bleed-air from the engine, APU, or external source is mixed
with ambient air to obtain the desired temperature determined by the setting of the sensor in the downstream air
flow. Regulation of the diaphragm position is by a solenoid.
Should the HEATER control switch (Figure 2-7) be turned
OFF, or dc power fail, bleed-air will shut off. The valve

2-62

also has a thermal protective switch that deenergizes the
solenoid if mixed air temperature is over 90° to 96°C (194°
to 205°F). The mixture temperature sensor downstream of
the mixing valve regulates flow output temperature. The
sensor is regulated from the cockpit through a control linkage at the overhead console. The temperature control is
marked HEATER OFF, MED, and HI. Ventilation is controlled through a panel on the upper console marked VENT
BLOWER. When the switch is placed ON, dc power to the
solenoid allows bleed-air to mix with outside air.
2.59.3 Normal Operation.
1. APU or engine - Start (Refer to paragraph 8.22
or 8.23).
2. AIR SOURCE HEAT/START switch - As required. ENG if engine is operating; OFF for
heat from external air source.
3. HEATER ON-OFF switch - ON.
4. VENT BLOWER switch - OFF for maximum
heat.
5. HEATER control - As desired.
2.60 VENTILATION SYSTEM.
2.60.1 Ventilation System. UH The helicopter is ventilated by an electrically-operated blower system controlled
through the VENT BLOWER control panel on the upper
console (Figure 2-7). The VENT BLOWER switch is
marked OFF and ON. When ON, the blower forces ambient air into the cabin ducts. The No. 2 ac primary bus
powers the blower through a circuit breaker, marked HEAT
& VENT. It is also controlled by dc power from the No. 2
dc primary bus through the VENT BLOWER switch protected by a circuit breaker, marked HEAT VENT. Ram air
vents for cooling the cockpit area are on each side of the
upper console and at the front of the lower console (Figure
2-4) and are controlled by turning the nozzle to control the
opening.
2.60.2 Ventilation System. EH In addition to the standard ventilation system, the EH-60A has a ventilation system which operates in conjunction with the air conditioning
system. The system is controlled from the ECS control
panel on the upper console (Figure 2-7). When the AIR
COND switch is placed in the FAN position, fresh air

TM 1-1520-237-10

is drawn from outside the helicopter into the plenum chamber, mixed with inside air and circulated through the helicopter.
2.60.3 Normal Operation.
1. APU, rotor or external power - Operating.
2. VENT BLOWER switch - ON.
2.61 Air Conditioner System. EH The vapor-cycle
system (air conditioner) cools the cabin and cockpit areas.
It consists of a heli-rotor compressor, evaporator, condenser, associated valves, protective pressure and temperature switches, a filter, service valves, a liquid indicator and
an electrical control system. A sight glass in the liquid line
gives an indication of refrigerant liquid servicing level,
when the system is operating. The temperature controller
assembly, in the aft cabin, processes the input signals from
the temperature selection rheostat in the cockpit and the
cabin temperature sensor, and provides the power to the hot
gas bypass valve solenoid. The electrical control box, in the
transition section, contains the relays, time delays, elapsed
time meter and fault indicators for the vapor-cycle system.
The control box routes the power to the electrical components. Inputs from the remote control and temperature controller are channeled to their respective electrical interface
in the control box. Across the front of the enclosure are
four fault indicators HI and LO PRESS, and HI and LO
TEMP, which are tripped to indicate red when a fault is
received. These indicators provide visual signals of a fault
occurring, even if it is only temporary, and they can be

manually reset for reuse by pressing in the fault indicator.
The air conditioner system is protected to prevent evaporator freezing. The system may be operated at any ambient
temperature without causing damage, shown in Table 2-2.
Power to operate the air conditioner system is provided
from the No. 2 ac primary bus and controlled from the No.
1 dc primary bus through a breaker marked ECS CONTR
. Control of the air conditioner is through the ECS control
panel on the upper console (Figure 2-7). The panel contains
a temperature control rheostat with an increasing arrow indicator to COOL, two mode selection switches marked
COOL-OFF-FAN and HTR-OFF-ON. The temperature
control rheostat is used with the COOL switch to set the
desired cabin temperature. Placing switch to COOL will
cause AIR COND ON advisory light to illuminate. Selection of the COOL mode on the cockpit AIR COND control panel starts a phased sequence of events leading to full
operation of the air conditioner system. To prevent a sudden surge in 115 vac power, the major electrical components are started at spaced intervals.
2.62 AUXILIARY HEATER SYSTEM.

EH

Incorporated in the air conditioner plenum chamber is an
auxiliary heating system to supplement the bleed air heater.
The electrically operated heater is controlled by a switch on
the upper console ECS control panel marked HTR ON &
OFF. The heater element will operate continuously as long
as the switch is ON. With the HTR switch ON and the
AIR COND switch placed in the FAN position the CABIN
HEAT ON advisory light will illuminate. An overtemperature protection is provided at 205°F if there is a heater
malfunction.

Section XI ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS
2.63 ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEMS.
Alternating current (ac) is the primary source of power.
The primary electrical system consists of two independent
systems, each capable of supplying the total helicopter
power requirements. The prime source of each system is a
115/200 vac generator. A subsystem feeds two independent
ac primary buses and an ac essential bus. A portion of each
ac primary bus load is converted to 28 volts direct current
(vdc) by two 200 ampere ac/dc converters. The 28 vdc is
distributed by two independent dc primary buses and a dc
essential bus. Emergency power is provided by a generator
driven by the auxiliary power unit (APU). The APU generator is capable of supplying all flight-essential ac and dc
bus loads. In addition, the APU generator can supply power
to the blade deice system (when installed) if one main generator should fail. Should a second generator fail, the blade
deice load will be dropped and the APU generator will
power the remaining ac bus loads. An electric power priority feature allows either the No. 1 or No. 2 main generator
to automatically supersede the APU generator, which, in
turn, automatically supersedes external power. A 24-volt
battery provides backup dc power.
2.64 DC POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM.
Primary dc power is obtained from two converters
(transformer-rectifiers) with a battery as the secondary
power source. There is no external dc power connector
(Figure 2-19).
2.64.1 Converters. Two 200-ampere converters, each
normally powered by the No. 1 and No. 2 ac primary buses
respectively, turn ac power into dc power and reduce it to
28 volts. The converter output is applied to the No. 1 and
No. 2 dc primary buses whenever ac power is applied to the
ac primary buses. If one converter’s output is lost, the converter load will be transferred to the operating system, and
a caution light, marked #1 CONV or #2 CONV will go on.
Power to light the caution light is provided by the battery
bus through a circuit breaker marked, AC CONV WARN.
2.64.2 Battery.
a. A 24-volt dc 5.5 ampere hour 20-cell nickel cadmium
(nicad) battery provides secondary or emergency dc power.
The battery is in the cabin section behind the copilot. It
supplies dc power to the battery and battery utility buses
(Figure 2-19) for operating dc essential equipment during
primary dc malfunction. Power to the battery bus is controlled by the BATT switch on the upper console. It has
marked positions OFF and ON. The battery utility bus is
2-64

Change 4

connected directly to the battery. During No. 1 and No. 2
dc primary source malfunction, the dc essential bus is powered by the battery bus as long as the battery is at least 35%
charged and the BATT switch is ON. When only battery
power is available, the battery life is about 22 minutes day
and 14 minutes night for a battery 80% charged. The BATT
switch should be ON when either external power, APU
generator or main generator power is applied to the helicopter. This will recharge the battery. When the battery is
the sole source of dc power, the BATT switch should be
turned OFF immediately upon obtaining a BATT LOW
CHARGE caution light. A malfunction of both dc primary
sources will light caution lights marked #1 and #2 CONV.
If the BATT switch is left ON, the battery will be completely discharged in less than 3.5 hours. If the maintenance
light and both cockpit utility lights are left on, the battery
will be completely discharged in less than 7 hours. Power
to light the caution light is from the battery bus through a
circuit breaker marked BATT & ESNTL DC WARN EXT
PWR CONTR.
b. A 24-volt dc 9.5 ampere hour sealed lead acid battery
(SLAB) provides secondary or emergency dc power. The
battery is in the cabin section behind the copilot. It supplies
dc power to the battery bus, battery utility bus and dc essential bus (Figure 2-19) for operating dc essential equipment during primary dc malfunction. Power to the battery
bus is controlled by the BATT switch on the upper console.
It has marked positions OFF and ON. The battery utility
bus is connected directly to the battery. The dc essential
bus is powered by the battery bus as long as the BATT
switch is ON. When only battery power is available, the
battery life is about 38 minutes day and 24 minutes night
for a battery 80% charged. The BATT switch should be
ON when either external power, APU generator or main
generator power is applied to the helicopter. This will recharge the battery. When the battery is the sole source of dc
power, the BATT switch should be turned OFF immediately upon obtaining a BATT LOW CHARGE caution
light. This is done so that battery power can be conserved
for an APU start. A malfunction of both dc primary sources
will light caution lights marked #1 and #2 CONV. If the
BATT switch is left ON, the battery will be completely
discharged in less than 6 hours. Power to light the BATT
LOW CHARGE caution light is from the battery bus
through a circuit breaker marked BATT & ESNTL DC
WARN EXT PWR CONTR.
2.64.3 DC Monitor Bus. EH The dc monitor bus is normally energized by the No. 1 and No. 2 converters when
the generators are operating, and is powered by the No. 2

2.64.4 Quick Fix Power. EH Mission equipment dc
power is provided from the No. 1 dc primary bus, and is
controlled by Q/F PWR switch on the upper console.
2.64.5 Battery Charger/Analyzer. A charger/analyzer
system restores the battery charge and determines the condition of the battery. The system charges the battery
through a converter whenever ac power is available on the
helicopter and the BATT switch is ON. The analyzer system monitors battery charge and lights a caution light indi-

cating BATT LOW CHARGE when the charge lowers to
35% to 45% of battery capacity. If battery charge continues
to lower, at 30% to 40% of battery capacity, the dc essential bus will be disconnected from the battery. At 35% capacity the battery can provide two APU starts. Another
analyzer circuit monitors battery temperature. When the internal temperature reaches 70°C (158°F), or if a battery cell
dissimilarity condition exists, a caution panel light will go
on, indicating BATTERY FAULT (only on helicopters
equipped with nickel-cadmium batteries). Then the charger/
analyzer should automatically disconnect the battery from
the charging circuit. As a backup, placing the BATT switch

2.65 AC POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM.
A primary ac power system (Figure 2-19) delivers regulated three phase, 115/200 vac, 400 Hz. Each system contains a 30/45 kilovolt-ampere generator mounted on and
driven by the transmission accessory gear box module, a
current transformer, a generator control unit, and current
limiter, all of which are interchangeable. System outputs
are applied to the No. 1 and No. 2 ac primary buses. Caution lights will go on, indicating #1 GEN or #2 GEN whenever generator output is interrupted. Another caution light
goes on, indicating AC ESS BUS OFF when there is no
power to the ac essential bus. Individual generator controls
are provided on the upper console (Figure 2-7), with
marked positions of TEST, OFF/RESET, and ON. A generator main bearing caution system is installed on each
main generator to light a caution light, marked #1 GEN
BRG or #2 GEN BRG, to indicate a worn or failed bearing. The caution light will remain on until power is removed. The auxiliary bearing will allow 10 additional hours
of operation after the light goes on. Therefore, it should not
be a cause for mission abort. Power to operate the caution

NOTE
NOTE
When the GEN BRG caution light remains
on for more than 1 minute, make an entry on
the DA Form 2408-13-1.
2.65.1 Generator Control Units (GCU). The GCUs
monitor voltage from the No. 1, No. 2 and APU generators
and take the generator(s) off-line where malfunctions occur.
Underfrequency protection is disabled in flight by the
WOW switch.
2.65.2 AC Secondary Bus. EH The ac secondary bus
is powered by the No. 1 and No. 2 generators when they are
operating and their outputs are acceptable (Figure 2-19).
Current limiters protect the system from excessive current
draw. If the No. 1 and No. 2 generators are off, the APU
generator will supply the ac secondary bus if the output is
acceptable, the backup hydraulic pump is off, the blade
deice is off, and the weight of the helicopter is on the
wheels. The ac secondary bus can also receive power from
external power when the weight of the helicopter is on the
wheels, and the No. 1, No. 2 and APU generators are off,
and the backup hydraulic pump is not operating.
2.66 AUXILIARY AC POWER SYSTEM.
An auxiliary ac power system (Figure 2-19), is a backup
ac power source, providing electrical power for ground
checkouts. The system consists of a 115 vac three-phase,
400 Hz 20/30 kVA, air-cooled generator mounted on and
driven by the APU, a current transformer and a generator
control unit. If the primary ac generators are not operating,
the auxiliary ac power output will be applied through contactors to the No. 2 ac primary bus and through contactors
and current limiters to the No. 1 ac primary bus. An advisory light on the caution/advisory panel will go on, indicating APU GEN ON when the APU generator is operating,
and the APU generator switch is ON. APU GEN ON light
will be on only when supplying power to the system, it will

If the APU generator is the sole source of ac
generated power, all equipment may be operated, except that when the backup pump is
on, the windshield anti-ice and EH air conditioner are prevented from being used.
2.66.1 Generator Control Switches. Generators are
controlled by a three-position generator switch on the upper
console (Figure 2-7). The switch ON position energizes the
generator and permits connection of generator ac output to
the ac loads. TEST permits you to test the generator ac
output without connecting to the generator loads. OFF/
RESET deenergizes the generator and permits generator
recycling if the generator is disabled and disconnected from
its loads. The control switch is manually placed to RESET
and then back to ON.
2.66.2 External AC Power System.

CAUTION

Do not connect a source of dc power to
the external ac connector.
An external ac power connector, on the right side of the
helicopter (Figure 2-1), accepts ground source of 115 vac,
three-phase, 400 Hz power. The system is controlled by a
switch on the upper console (Figure 2-7), marked EXT
PWR-RESET-OFF and ON. External power will be introduced into the system if acceptable external power is connected, the EXT PWR switch is ON, and no other generating source is operating. An advisory light on the caution/
advisory panel will go on, indicating EXT PWR

Section XII AUXILIARY POWER UNIT
2.67 AUXILIARY POWER UNIT (APU) SYSTEM.
The auxiliary power unit system (Figure 2-21) consists
of an auxiliary power unit (APU), accessories, controls, a
monitoring system, and a starting system. The APU system
provides pneumatic power for main engine starting and
cabin heating, and electrical power for ground and emergency in-flight electrical operations.
NOTE
The APU is not qualified for normal inflight
use.
APU system accessories include a prime/boost pump,
hydraulic accumulator, hydraulic handpump, hydraulic start
motor, and ac generator. The hydraulic accumulators and
handpump, in the aft midsection cabin ceiling (Figure 2-5),
provide the hydraulic pressure for driving the APU starter.
If the APU does not start, the hydraulic accumulator can be
recharged by pumping the hydraulic handpump. The hydraulic utility module and backup pump, on the left forward
deck within the main rotor pylon, will automatically recharge the depleted hydraulic accumulator for the next APU
start. The APU controls are in the cockpit on the upper
console. Indicator lights on the caution/advisory panel provide cockpit monitoring of the APU. An indicator panel in
the cabin will indicate reason for APU shutdown on BITE
indicators. The BITE indicators are incorporated in the
APU electronic sequence unit (ESU), and will indicate reasons for APU shutdown. Those indicators can be monitored
during APU operation without interrupting normal operating systems. During a start, the ESU compares input signals
from speed, time, and temperature sensors on the APU to
specified values stowed in the ESU memory, and performs
functional steps as a result of the comparison. The system
also provides for APU protective shutdown in case of turbine overspeed, underspeed, high exhaust temperature, low
oil pressure, or loss of electrical power or sequence failure.
Each major sequence step will have a visual indication of
go/no-go. The ESU samples predetermined parameters of
exhaust temperature, turbine speed and oil pressure. If any
one of the predetermined values are exceeded, the APU
will shut down, and appropriate BITE indication is made.
On helicopters modified with improved ESU, if a momentary malfunction occurs (i.e., a power interruption other
than switching of the APU CONTR switch) the APU will
shut down and the APU CONTR switch must be placed at
OFF and then back ON, to restart the APU. There is also
an output signal to the caution/advisory panel to turn on the
APU ON advisory light, indicating the APU is operating.

Power to operate the APU and ESU is provided from the
battery bus through a circuit breaker marked APU CONTR
INST.
2.68 APU.
The auxiliary power unit (Figure 2-21) consists of a gas
turbine shaft power section, a reduction gear drive, and
appropriate controls and accessories. The accessory gear
box provides an axial pad with a 12,000 rpm output drive
for the APU ac generator, rpm pad for mounting the APU
start motor, rpm drive pad for the APU fuel assembly. A
magnetic pickup mounted on the accessory gear box senses
engine speed. The APU is lubricated by a self-contained oil
system. Refer to Figure 2-25 for servicing.
2.68.1 APU Controls. The APU control, on the upper
console (Figure 2-7), consists of a CONTR switch and an
APU fire extinguisher T-handle. The APU CONTR switch,
with marked positions OFF and ON, controls the operation
of the APU. Placing the switch ON starts the APU and
allows it to operate. The APU is off when the switch is
OFF. The APU FAIL caution light will be on any time the
APU automatically shuts down. The APU OIL TEMP HI
caution light is on when APU oil temperature is above normal range. During ground operation at high ambient temperatures the APU OIL TEMP HI caution light may go
on. If this occurs, the APU should be shut down immediately to prevent damage. After a 30-minute cooling period,
the oil level should be checked. If OK, the APU may be
restarted. The control system receives electrical power from
the battery bus through a circuit breaker marked APU
CONTR INST on the lower console. When illuminated,
the APU T-handle warns the pilot/ copilot of a fire in the
APU compartment. When the T-handle is pulled, it turns
off fuel to the APU, sends a stop signal to the ESU, arms
the fire extinguisher system, and sets the extinguisher direction control valve to the APU. During APU starts using
battery power, if the fire extinguisher is required, FIRE
EXTGH RESERVE must be used. The T-handle microswitch receives electrical power from the battery utility
bus through a circuit breaker marked FIRE EXTGH on the
lower console circuit breaker panel.
2.68.2 APU Fuel Control System (Helicopters
equipped with (T-62T-40-1 APU). This system consists
of a fuel pump and a control assembly. The fuel pump is
protected by a filter. Fuel pump output flow passes through
another filter before entering the control assembly. A governor and flow metering valve controls fuel flow to the
engine during ignition, permitting automatic starting under

all ambient conditions, and controls the turbine at a constant speed once it has accelerated to operating speed. An
electronic speed sensing device provides automatic fuel
flow, ignition, and operation of the APU.
2.68.3 APU Fuel Control System (Helicopters
equipped with GTC-P36-150 APU). The fuel control
system includes a fuel pump and metering section. The fuel
pump is protected by an integral inlet filter. Fuel pump
output flow passes through a filter screen before entering
the metering assembly. Fuel pump discharge pressure is
limited by an ultimate relief valve which, when activated,
bypasses fuel flow back to the pump inlet. Fuel metering is
accomplished by the torque motor metering valve as a
function of an electrical signal from the electronic sequence
unit (ESU). For accurate fuel metering, a constant, pressure
drop across the metering valve is maintained by the differential pressure regulating valve. The fuel solenoid valve is
energized by the ESU following the initiation of APU start.
This allows fuel to flow to the engine. The fuel control
assembly subsequently provides fuel according to a preprogrammed schedule to effect efficient acceleration. The
fuel solenoid valve will close completely without visible
leakage from the minimum operating fuel pressure to 110%
of the maximum operating fuel pressure.

2-72

2.68.4 APU Fuel Supply System. APU fuel is supplied to the APU from the left main fuel tank. The FUEL
PUMP switch must be at APU BOOST for all APU operation, except engine priming. The APU prime/boost shutoff valve is a two-position, open-closed unit mounted on
the APU compartment firewall where it also functions as a
firewall shutoff valve. The valve is pilot-operated from the
upper console FUEL PUMP switch as well as by the FIRE
EXTGH APU T-handle. If the APU does not start and the
APU ACCUM LOW advisory light is not on, the manual
override lever on the accumulator manifold should be
pulled to attempt another start, and held until the APU has
reached self-sustaining speed.
2.69 ACCUMULATOR RECHARGE.
The accumulator recharge cycle starts when the APU
has reached operational speed and the APU-driven generator comes on the line. The pressure switch for the accumulator causes the APU ACCUM LOW light to go on and
the backup system pump to develop pressure. The APU
accumulator pressure should be at least 2800 psi before
attempting an APU start. The accumulator is recharged
from the backup pump which runs for 90 seconds after the
accumulator low-pressure switch is actuated. When the

TM 1-1520-237-10

winterization kit is installed, an additional identical accumulator is installed in parallel with the original accumulator. Discharge and recharge of the added accumulator is the
same, except a 180-second recharge cycle for the two accumulators will take place when the accumulator pressure
switch senses low accumulator pressure. Both accumulators
are charged or discharged simultaneously. If the accumulators do not fully charge during the first 180 seconds of the
backup pump operating cycle, the pump will continue to
operate in 180-second segments, or until the BACKUP
PUMP PWR circuit breaker is pulled, or 115 vac power is
removed. The backup system pump shuts down after recharge, unless required for other purposes. Should the accumulator pressure drop, the backup system pump restarts
to replenish the accumulator charge. The rate of accumulator charge is limited to protect the backup system from

possible depletion due to ballistic damage to the APU start
system. Should the APU not start, the accumulator may be
recharged by these methods, after the APU CONTR switch
is OFF. An electric ground cart powering the backup hydraulic pump or a hydraulic ground cart connected to the
backup hydraulic system through the ground test quickdisconnects or by using the handpump in the aft upper
cabin. The APU CONTR switch should not be turned ON
again or the BATT switch turned OFF until after the ESU
BITE indicators have been checked. The handpump may
also be used to top off the accumulator charge if the charge
has dropped due to a low temperature condition. A pressure
gage mounted in the aft cabin (Figure 2-5) indicates the
charge. Check valves prevent draining of the accumulator
charge through the system.

be in DIM mode.
2.70.5 Upper and Lower Console Lights. NVG
lights for the upper console, cockpit flood secondary lights,
engine control quadrant, flight control panel, miscellaneous
switch panel, boost pump control panel, ESSS related panels, range extension fuel management panel, retransmission
control and rescue hoist panels, and compass are illuminated from the No. 1 ac primary bus through dimmer controls marked CONSOLE LT UPPER and LOWER. Circuits are protected by circuit breakers marked LIGHTS
UPPER CSL and LIGHTS LWR CSL. All other lower
console panels are illuminated by the lower console auxiliary utility light next to the copilot’s seat.
2.70.6 Utility Lights. All utility lights are dual (blue/
green-white) (Figure 2-4). Two portable cockpit utility
lights with coiled cords are attached to the upper console by
removable brackets, one on each side of the console. The
lights may be adjusted on their mountings to direct the light
beams or they may be removed and used portably. All utility lights are controlled by a rheostat or a pushbutton on the
end of each casting. The lens casting of the lights may be
turned to change from white to blue/green and/or spot to
flood. An auxiliary utility light, located at the right rear of
the copilot’s seat, is used to illuminate some panels on the
lower console for night flight. On helicopters equipped with
a transition equipment bay, a utility light is installed on the
bay shelf to provide bay lighting EH . The utility lights operate in the same manner as above. Make certain cockpit
utility lights are OFF when not in use. The utility lights
operate from the battery utility bus through a circuit breaker
marked UTIL LTS CKPT. On helicopters 97-26744 and
subsequent, utility lights operate from the battery bus
through a circuit breaker marked UTIL LTS CKPT.
2.70.7 Cabin Dome Lights. Three dome lights are provided for cabin lighting (Figure 2-5). Control of cabin lights
is from the upper console by a control marked CABIN

TM 1-1520-237-10

DOME LT (Figure 2-7) with intensity control and a light
color selector switch. The intensity control has marked positions OFF and BRT, and the light level control may be
adjusted to any position between the two extremes. The
light color selector switch has marked positions WHITE,
OFF, and BLUE. To place the switch from OFF to
WHITE, the switch must first be pulled out to clear a detent. This prevents accidentally placing the switch to
WHITE. Dimming control for the cabin dome lights is
from a control on the left side of the pilots seat (Figure
2-4), marked CABIN DOME LT, with marked positions
OFF and BRT. Power to operate the cabin dome light system is provided from the No. 1 ac primary bus through a

and cockpit utility lights are OFF when not in use.
2.71 EXTERIOR LIGHTS.
2.71.1 Searchlight.

CAUTION

Landing and searchlight have less than
one foot ground clearance when extended.
Use caution when ground taxiing over
rough terrain when landing light and/or
searchlight are extended.
UH The searchlight (Figure 2-1) is mounted on the right
bottom of the nose section, and is controlled from either
collective pitch stick. The 150 watt light can be moved
forward through a 120° arc from the stow position. It can
also be turned 360° in either a right or left direction on its
axis. The light is operated by a switch labeled SRCH LT
ON, OFF, BRT, and DIM (Figure 2-4). Directional control
of the light is provided through the four-position searchlight control switch, labeled EXT (extend), RETR (retract),
L (left), and R (right). When the SRCH LT switch is

placed ON, the lamp will go on, arming the control switch.
Placing the control switch to EXT causes the light beam to
move forward at a rate of about 12° per second. If the
switch is placed to OFF the light will extinguish. To retract
the searchlight, place the switch to RETR. Refer to Chapter 5 for extend/retract limitations. An infrared filter can be
installed on the controllable searchlight to enhance viewing
objects outside the helicopter when wearing the night vision goggles. With the IR filter installed, maximum wattage
lamp to be used is 250 watt. An OUTPUT switch on the
searchlight dimmer under the pilot’s seat, is placed at
NORM when dimming feature on searchlight is desired.
When in BYPASS position, the searchlight cannot be
dimmed. The IR filter shall not be used with a 450 watt
lamp installed. The dimming feature of the controllable
searchlight provides a variable light level from 250 to 0
watts to the pilot and copilot through a switch on each
collective grip marked SRCH LT ON - OFF. Push ON OFF BRT DIM to control power to the light and the DIM/
BRT mode selector. When the light is on, the BRT DIM
switch may be moved to select the desired light level. When
the desired level is reached, the switch is released to the
center position. Power to light and control the searchlight is
provided from the dc essential bus through circuit breakers,
marked LIGHTS, CONTR PWR and SRCH CONTR.
The IR filter may be removed for unaided night flight.
2.71.2 Landing Light. One 600-watt landing light is
mounted on the left side beneath the nose section and is
controlled from both collective pitch stick grips (Figure
2-14). The light can be extended 107° from the stowed
position. A dual function switch is used to operate the light.
The LDG LT PUSH ON-OFF switch controls lighting and
EXT, RETR controls light position. When the light is ON
(LDG LT ON advisory light should be on) and the switch
is at EXT detent, the light can be positioned at any point
between stowed and fully extended, or it will continue to
extend until reaching its limit and power is removed. When
the switch is held at RETR the light retracts to the stowed
position. When the light reaches its stowed position, power
is automatically removed from the motor. The LDG LT
PUSH ON-OFF switch must be pushed OFF (LDG LT
ON advisory light should go off). Refer to Chapter 5 for
extend/retract limitations. During extension, the travel
speed is about 12° per second, and during retract, about 30°
per second. Power to light and control the landing light is
supplied from the No. 1 dc primary bus through circuit
breakers, marked LIGHTS, RETR LDG, CONT and
PWR.
2.71.3 Anticollision Lights. This light system contains
four strobes in two separate units, one beneath the aft fuselage and one on top of the aft pylon section. The lights
are controlled by two switches on the upper console (Figure

Change 3

2-75

TM 1-1520-237-10

2-7) labeled ANTI COLLISION LIGHTS UPPER,
BOTH, LOWER and DAY, OFF, NIGHT. The system
consists of a dual power supply and two interchangeable
day/night anticollision lights. The dual supply system provides separate outputs for the aft fuselage light and the
pylon mounted light. Each anticollision light assembly contains two lamps, the upper lamp within a red lens for night
operation and the lower within a clear lens for day operation. Proper operation is selected by placing the switch to
DAY or NIGHT. The desired strobe(s) is selected by placing the switch to UPPER, LOWER or BOTH. If at
BOTH, the lower fuselage and the aft pylon lights will
alternately flash. If the selector switch is placed to UPPER
or LOWER, only that light will flash. To discontinue operation of the anticollision light(s), the DAY-NIGHT
switch is placed to OFF. Power to operate the anticollision
light system is provided from the No. 2 ac primary bus
through a circuit breaker, marked LIGHTS, ANTI COLL.
2.71.4 Position Lights. Position lights (Figure 2-1) are
outboard of the left and right landing gear support and top
tail pylon. The lights are red on the left, green on the right,
and white on the tail. Control of the position lights is
through the upper console panel containing two switches,
marked POSITION LIGHTS, DIM, OFF, BRT, and
STEADY, FLASH. When the intensity switch is placed to
DIM or BRT, all three lights go on at once. If the
STEADY-FLASH switch is placed to FLASH, the three
lights will flash. The STEADY position causes the lights to
remain on continuously. Power to operate the position lights
is provided by No. 2 dc primary bus through a circuit

2-76

breaker, marked POS LTS. Infrared position lights are installed within close proximity of the standard position
lights. NVG operation is selected through a toggle switch
on the upper console (Figure 2-7) marked NAV LTS, with
switch positions NORM and IR. Position lights are to be
selected through a switch marked POSITION LIGHTS,
DIM, OFF, or BRT, and mode of operation through a
switch marked STEADY or FLASH. Power for control of
the IR lights is from the No. 2 dc primary bus through a
circuit breaker marked IR LTS.
2.71.5 Formation Lights. These lights (Figure 2-1) are
on top of the main pylon cowling, tail drive shaft cover,
and horizontal stabilator. The system consists of four green
electroluminescent lights. The lights are controlled by a
single rotary selector switch, marked FORMATION LT,
with marked positions OFF and 1 through 5. Position 5 is
the brightest. When NVG operations are required, IR lights
may be used to enhance viewing outside the helicopter. IR
lights are selected through a toggle switch on the upper
console (Figure 2-7) marked, NAV LTS, NORM, and IR.
This switch shares operation with the IR position lights
when operating in a NVG environment. Dimming of the IR
lights is done with the FORMATION LT control, as used
with the electroluminescent formation lights. Selection of
position 1 through 4 causes the IR formation lights to illuminate at the same intensity. Position 5 causes the lights to
illuminate brighter. Power to operate the formation lights is
provided from the No. 2 ac primary bus through two circuit
breakers, marked LIGHTS, FORM LV and HV.

TM 1-1520-237-10

Section XIV FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS
2.72 PITOT-STATIC SYSTEM.
Two electrically-heated pitot tubes with static ports are
aft and above the pilot’s and copilot’s cockpit doors. The
right pitot tube is connected to the pilot’s instruments and
the left pitot tube is connected to the copilot’s instruments.
Tubing connects the pitot tube static pressure ports to the
airspeed indicators and the altimeters. In addition to standard instrumentation, airspeed data is sensed for operation
of stabilator, flight path stabilization, and command instrument system. Refer to Section IX for pitot tube heater system.
2.73 ATTITUDE INDICATING SYSTEM.
Helicopter pitch and roll attitudes are sensed by the pilot’s and copilot’s vertical displacement gyroscopes, that
apply attitude signals to the vertical situation indicators
(VSI) for visual display (Figure 2-9). Signals are applied
through the VERT GYRO select switches to the remote
indicator on the vertical situation indicators. Helicopter
pitch and roll attitudes are shown on the pilot’s and copilot’s vertical situation indicators. The indicator face contains a fixed bar, representing the helicopter, a movable
sphere with a white horizon line dividing the two colors,
white above and black below, a fixed bank angle scale and
a bank index on the moving sphere. Relative position of the
fixed bar (helicopter) and the horizon line indicates the helicopter’s attitude referenced to the earth horizon. A ROLL
trim knob on the lower left of the VSI permits adjustment
of the roll index about 14°66° right and left from zero. A
PITCH trim knob on the lower right of the VSI permits
adjustment of the indicator sphere 14°66° for dive and
7°63° for climb from zero index. If a power failure or
unbalance occurs in the pilot’s or copilot’s vertical displacement gyroscope, a gyroscope power failure flag will
appear, indicating ATT, warning the pilot or copilot that
pitch and roll attitude signals are not being sent to his indicator. To restore attitude information to the indicator, the
pilot or copilot should press his VERT GYRO select
switch on the MODE SEL panel so that ALTR appears in
the switch window. This causes the ATT flag on the indicator to disappear, and pitch and roll signals are supplied
from the operating gyro, restoring attitude information display. Refer to Chapter 3 for description of VERT GYRO
select switch.
2.74 TURN RATE INDICATING SYSTEM.
A 4-minute turn rate (turn and slip) indicator is at the
bottom center of each VSI (Figure 2-9). The pilot’s and
copilot’s indicators operate independently of each other

through TURN RATE switches on the MODE SEL panels. Each system consists of a rate gyro, a turn slip indicator
and a select switch. The VSI contains a moving turn rate
needle and a fixed turn rate scale for indicating rate and
direction of turn. During straight flight the needle is positioned at the center of the scale. When the helicopter turns,
the rate-of-turn signal from the rate gyroscope deflects the
needle in the proper direction to indicate the turn. Amount
of deflection is proportional to the rate-of-turn. A oneneedle width deflection represents a turn of 1.5° per second.
The VSI also contains a slip indicator that shows uncoordinated turns. If a power failure or unbalance occurs in the
pilot’s or copilot’s rate gyroscope, the associated VSI signal will be lost. To restore rate-of-turn information to the
indicator, the pilot or copilot will press the TURN RATE
switch on his MODE SEL panel so that ALTR appears in
the switch window. This applies alternate rate gyroscope
signals from the operating gyroscope to the indicator.
Power to operate the pilot’s turn rate system is provided
from the dc essential bus through a circuit breaker, marked
PILOT TURN DETR. The copilot’s system is powered
from the No. 1 dc primary bus through a circuit breaker,
marked CPLT TURN RATE GYRO. Refer to Chapter 3
for a description of the TURN RATE select switch.
2.75 AIRSPEED INDICATOR.
Two airspeed indicators (Figure 2-9), are installed on the
instrument panel, one each for the pilot and copilot. The
indicators are differential pressure instruments, measuring
the difference between impact pressure and static pressure.
Instrument range markings and limitations are contained in
Chapter 5, Section II, System Limits.
2.76 ALTIMETER/ENCODER AAU-32A.
Two altimeters are installed on the instrument panel
(Figures 2-9 and 2-22). The altimeter encoder functions as
a barometric altimeter for the pilot and a barometric altitude sensor for the AN/APX-100 transponder in mode C.
The copilot’s functions only as a barometric altimeter. The
system is equipped with a continuously operating vibrator
to improve altitude measuring accuracy. The altimeter’s operating range is from -1000 feet to 50,000 feet. The face of
the instrument has a marked scale from zero to nine in
50-foot units. The operating indicators and controls are a
100-foot pointer, 100-foot drum, 1,000-foot drum, 10,000foot drum, barometric pressure set knob, barometric pressure scale window and warning flag. The warning flag is
only used in conjunction with the encoder. A counter window next to the sweep hand contains the three digital drums

battery allows continuous operation for a minimum of one
year when aircraft 28 vdc power is not applied. The clock
has two modes of operation, clock mode (C) and the
elapsed time mode (ET). Power to operate the clock is provided by the No. 1 dc and No. 2 dc primary buses through
circuit breakers marked CPLT ALTM and PILOT ALTM
respectively.
2.81 MASTER WARNING SYSTEM.
Two master caution lights (Figures 2-9 and 2-23) one
each side for the pilot and copilot, marked MASTER
CAUTION PRESS TO RESET, are on the master warning panel. They light whenever a caution light goes on.
These lights alert the pilots and direct attention to the
caution/advisory panel. The master caution lights should be
reset at once to provide a similar indication if a second
condition or malfunction occurs while the first is still
present. The master caution light can be reset from either
pilot position. Four amber warning lights, also on the master warning panel, require immediate action if they go on.
The markings are #1 ENG OUT, #2 ENG OUT, FIRE,
and LOW ROTOR RPM. The LOW ROTOR RPM
warning light will flash at a rate of three to five flashes per
second if rotor rpm drops below 96% RPM R. In addition,
if % RPM R drops below 96% or Ng drops below 55%, a
low steady tone is provided. The low rotor rpm tone is
inhibited on the ground through the left landing gear
weight-on-wheels switch. The engine Ng steady tone is not
inhibited. The ENG OUT warning lights and tone will go
on at 55% Ng SPEED and below. Refer to paragraph 2.14.1

2.81.1 Caution/Advisory Light System. The caution/
advisory panel, (Figures 2-9 and 2-24) is on the left of
center of the instrument panel. The caution section (upper
two-thirds) of the panel, indicates certain malfunctions or
unsafe conditions with amber lights. The advisory section
(lower one-third) of the panel shows certain noncritical
conditions with green lights. Each light has its own operating circuit and will remain on as long as the condition that
caused it to light up exists. The caution and advisory lights
are powered by the No. 1 dc primary bus through a circuit
breaker, marked LIGHTS CAUT/ADVSY. Refer to major
systems for a complete description of caution-advisory
panel capsules. Refer to Table 2-3 for a brief description of
each fault.

DIM and TEST, on the lower left of the caution/advisory
panel (Figure 2-24). Placing the switch to TEST simultaneously checks all lights on the caution/advisory and the
master warning panels and #1 and #2 FUEL LOW caution
lights and LOW ROTOR RPM warning lights will flash.
When the pilot’s PILOT FLT rotary intensity control is
moved from the OFF position, placing the BRT/DIMTEST switch to BRT/DIM causes the caution/advisory
lights and master warning lights to change intensity. When
the lights are dim and power is removed, the light intensity
will return to bright when power is reapplied. The TEST
switch position receives power from the No. 1 dc primary
bus through a circuit breaker, marked LIGHTS CAUT/
ADVSY. The BRT/DIM switch position receives power
from the dc essential bus through a circuit breaker, marked
CAUT/ADVSY PNL, on the No. 1 circuit breaker panel.
Dimming of the cockpit indicator lights operates with the
CAUTION panel dimming system.

2.81.2 Caution/Advisory BRT/DIM - TEST Switch.
Testing of the caution/advisory lights is done through a

Section XV SERVICING, PARKING, AND MOORING
2.82 SERVICING.

2.84.3 Gravity Refueling.

Servicing information is given by systems or components. Points used in frequent servicing and replenishment
of fuel, oil and hydraulic fluid are shown in Figure 2-25.
Fuel and lubricant specifications and capacities are in Table
2-4. Table 2-5 contains a listing of acceptable commercial
fuel.

1. Ground helicopter to fuel truck or other suitable
ground.

2.83 SERVICE PLATFORMS AND FAIRINGS.

3. Remove fuel filler caps and refuel. Refer to
Table 2-4 for fuel quantities.

Service platforms are a part of the engine cowlings, providing access to the engines. Each service platform is about
46 inches long and 18 inches wide. It is capable of supporting a static weight of 400 pounds on any area without
yielding. The platform is made of composite metal and fiberglass with a honeycomb core. The engine cowling is
opened by releasing a latch on the side and pulling outward
on a locking handle. The cowling is opened outward and
down, providing a standing area at the lower section. When
closed, the cowling lock prevents opening in flight.
2.84 FUEL SYSTEM SERVICING.
a. Both tanks (Figure 2-25) may be serviced simultaneously through pressure refueling or closed circuit refueling. They may be serviced individually by gravity refueling
through refueling ports on the left and right sides of the
helicopter.
b. ERFS The external extended range tanks can only
be serviced by gravity refueling through refueling ports on
the forward top of each tank.

2. Plug hose nozzle ground into the helicopter
grounding jack, marked GROUND HERE,
above refueling ports.

2.84.4 Pressure Refueling.
1. Ground helicopter to fuel truck or other suitable
ground.
2. Ground fuel dispenser nozzle to the helicopter
grounding point marked GROUND HERE,
above refueling ports.

CAUTION

Damage to the fuel system could result if
refueling hose pressure exceeds 55 psi
during pressure refueling or 15 psi during
closed circuit refueling.
3. Connect fuel dispenser nozzle to pressure refueling adapter.
NOTE

2.84.1 Fuel Types. Fuels are classified in Table 2-5.
2.84.2 Use of Fuels. Mixing of fuels in fuel tanks.
When changing from one type of authorized fuel to another, for example JP-4 to JP-5, it is not necessary to drain
the helicopter fuel system before adding the new fuel. Fuels
having the same NATO code number are interchangeable.
Jet fuels conforming to ASTM D-1655 specification may
be used when MIL-T-5624 fuels are not available. This
usually occurs during cross-country flights where helicopters using NATO F-44 (JP-5) are refueled with NATO F-40
(JP-4) or Commercial ASTM Type B fuels. Whenever this
condition occurs, the operating characteristics may change
in that lower operating temperature: slower acceleration,
easier starting, and shorter range may be experienced. The
reverse is true when changing from F-40 (JP-4) fuel to F-44
(JP-5) or Commercial ASTM Type A-1 fuels.
2-86

Change 8

The system is designed to restrict fuel flow
to 300 gpm during pressure refueling at a
nozzle pressure of 55 psi and 110 gpm at a
nozzle pressure of 15 psi during closed circuit refueling.
4. Start fuel flow from fuel dispenser and refuel
helicopter.

CAUTION

If fuel is observed flowing from vent, discontinue refueling and make an entry on
DA Form 2408-13-1.

2.84.5 Fuel Sampling System. Fuel sampling is done
with a thumb-operated handpump (Figure 2-25) containing
5 feet of plastic tubing. The tubing is placed in a guide tube
inside the fuel tank and is directed to the bottom of the
tank. The handpump is stroked and fuel is drawn from the
tank, with contaminants at the bottom. When sampling is
completed, the tubing is emptied, rolled, and stowed with

the pump on the gravity refueling door. ERFS Fuel sampling of the external extended range fuel system is done by
taking the sample with a fuel sampler tube from the sump
drain located at the bottom aft of each tank.

ently added to the engines, drain the oil and
add MIL-L-7808 or MIL-L-23699 oil.
Flushing the system before refilling is not
required.

CAUTION

The engine oil tank (Figure 2-25) is within the main
frame. When the oil level reaches the ADD mark, oil should
be added to bring the level to the full mark on the sight
gage. Wait at least 20 minutes after engine shutdown before
checking engine oil level. Before adding oil, determine
whether system contains MIL-L-7808 oil or MIL-L-23699
oil. If flights of over 6 hours are made, engine oil level
must be at the full line of sight glass before flight.

The helicopter must be level to get accurate oil tank readings. When the helicopter is parked on a slope, the downslope
engine will read higher oil level than actual, and the upslope engine will read
lower.

1.

When starting in ambient temperatures below -34°C (-29°F), do not use
JP-5 or JP-8.

2.

When starting in ambient temperatures of -34°C (-29°F) or below,
lubricating oil MIL-L-7808 must be used. It is not advisable to mix
MIL-L-23699 or DOD-L- 85734 oil with MIL-L-7808 oil.

3.

If the type oil being used is not available, another authorized type oil may
be added. When one type oil is mixed with another, it is not necessary to
drain the system and refill with one type oil. No mixing is allowed for cold
temperature operation. For transmissions and gear boxes, when one type of
oil is mixed with another, it is not necessary to drain the system and refill
with one type oil.

4.

For operation below -34°C (-29°F), MIL-H-5606 (NATO Code H-515)
shall be used. Mixing MIL-H-5606 with MIL-H-83282 degrades fireresistant qualities of MIL-H-83282.

5.

Fuel settling time for jet (JP) fuel is 1 hour per foot depth of fuel. Allow the
fuel to settle for the prescribed period before any samples are taken (about
4 hours for proper settling).

6.

DOD-L-85734 oil is the preferred oil for use in the main transmission,
intermediate gearbox, and tail gearbox, except for cold temperature
operation.

7.

DOD-L-85734 oil should not be used in the engines or the auxiliary power
unit (APU). If DOD-L-85734 oil is inadvertently added to the engines or
APU, the system should be drained and the correct oil added. There is no
need to flush the system.

8.

When changing from MIL-L-7808 or MIL-L-23699 oil to DOD-L-85734
(and vice versa), drain the oil from the system and refill with desired oil.
There is no need to flush the system before refilling.

NOTE

Commercial fuels are commonly made to conform to
American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)
Specification D 1655. The ASTM fuel specification does
not contain anti-icing additives unless specified. Icing
inhibitor conforming to MIL-I-85470 or MIL-I-27686
(Commercial name PRIST) shall be added to commercial and NATO fuels, not containing an icing inhibitor,
during refueling operations, regardless of ambient temperatures. Icing inhibitor conforming to MIL-I-85470 is
replacing the MIL-I-27686 version. The use of MIL-I27686 icing inhibitor is acceptable until all supplies are
depleted. Adding PRIST during refueling operation shall
be done using accepted commercial mixing procedures.
The additive provides anti-icing protection and also
functions as a biocide to kill microbial growths in helicopter fuel systems.
2.87 APU OIL SYSTEM SERVICING.
NOTE
Do not service the APU with DOD-L-85734
oil. If DOD-L-85734 oil is inadvertently
added to the APU, drain the oil and add
MIL-L-7808 or MIL-L-23699 oil. Flushing
the system before refilling is not required.
a. The APU oil supply is in the APU gear box assembly. The sump filler/oil dipstick port (T-62T-40-1) or cap
and fill to spill plug (GTC-P36-150) (Figure 2-25) are on
the left side of the gear box housing.
b. When the APU is cool to the touch the COLD side of
the dipstick may be used, if the APU is hot to the touch the
HOT side of the dipstick may be used.
2.88 HANDPUMP RESERVOIR SERVICING.

CAUTION

Do not allow reservoir level to fall below
refill line.
2-94

Change 10

Servicing of the refill handpump is done when fluid level
decreases to the refill line on the fluid level sight gage, on
the side of the pump tank. When fluid level decreases to the
refill line, 1 quart of hydraulic fluid can be poured into the
reservoir after removing the refill cap. Handpump reservoir
level should be replenished only in 1 quart units.
2.89 HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS SERVICING.
Reservoirs (Figure 2-25) for the hydraulic systems are
on the hydraulic pump modules. Fluid level sight gages are
visible on the side of each pump. All hydraulic pump reservoir capacities are 1 U. S. quart to the blue (black on
some pumps) mark. When the indicator reaches the red area
(refill) point, 2/3 of a pint is required to return the indicator
to the green mark. The fluid level indication is the 1/8 inch
wide gold band at the outboard edge of the level piston. To
refill the reservoirs, the fluid is supplied from the manual
handpump. After flight, fluid in hydraulic systems will be
hot. Piston movement of up to 3/8 inch into the blue (black
on some pumps) (overfill) zone is acceptable. When piston
is beyond this limit, bleed off enough fluid to bring piston
back to 3/8 inch above fill limit. To replenish the pump
reservoir fluid, do the following:
1. Unscrew handpump lid and pour in clean hydraulic fluid, MIL-H-83282, until pump is full.

TM 1-1520-237-10

Make sure you can always see oil in pump reservoir window while servicing, so not to pump
air into pump module’s reservoir. Keep filling.
2. Make sure pump cover is clean, then screw lid
on tight.
3. Turn selector valve to desired reservoir to be
filled. OUT 1 is left pump module, OUT 2 is
right pump module, and OUT 3 is backup
pump module.
4. While holding selector valve handle down,
crank pump handle on handpump clockwise
and fill desired hydraulic pump module until
forward end of piston in reservoir window is at
forward end of green decal on reservoir housing.
5. Check that reservoirs stay full (forward end of
piston at forward end of green decal), with fluid
at ambient temperature 1 hour after flight.

NOTE
Remove the dipstick, clean and reinsert to
obtain correct reading.
a. Single scale dipstick is for checking cold oil levels.
Wait at least 2 hours after shutdown to check oil. If oil
level must be checked when hot (immediately to 1/2 hour
after shutdown), oil level will read about 1/2 inch low
(halfway between full and add mark or 1/2 inch below add
mark).
b. Dual scale dipstick is for checking cold or hot oil
levels. Use appropriate scale when checking oil level. Read
hot side of dipstick when checking hot oil (immediately to
1/2 hour after shutdown), or cold side of dipstick when
checking cold oil (at least 2 hours after shutdown).
2.92 TAIL AND INTERMEDIATE GEAR BOX SERVICING.

6. Make sure area remains clean during procedure.

The intermediate gear box oil level sight gage (Figure
2-25) is on the left side of the gear box. The tail gear box
oil level sight gage is on the right side.

LUBRICATION

SYSTEM

Servicing of the rescue hoist lubrication system consists
of replacing automatic transmission fluid in the boom head
and the gear box (Figure 4-25) until oil level sight gages
indicate full.
2.91 MAIN TRANSMISSION OIL SYSTEM SERVICING.
The transmission oil supply is in the sump case with the
filler port and dipstick gage (Figure 2-25), on the right rear
of the main module. When filling is required, oil is poured
through the filler tube on the main module case, and oil
level is checked by a dipstick, marked FULL and ADD, or
FULL COLD and ADD on one side of the dipstick and
FULL HOT and ADD on the other side. Check oil level as
follows:

The methods used to secure the helicopter for temporary
periods of time will vary with the local commands. The
minimum requirements for parking are: gust lock engaged
and wheel brakes set, tailwheel locked, and wheels properly
chocked. For extended periods of time, engine inlet covers,
exhaust covers, and pitot covers should be installed, and
stabilator slewed to 0°. When required, the ignition system
and the doors and window should be locked.
2.94 PROTECTIVE COVERS AND PLUGS.
The covers and plugs (Figure 2-26) protect vital areas
from grit, snow, and water. The protected areas are avionics
compartment air inlet, engine air inlet/accessory bay, engine and APU exhausts, pitot tubes, IRCM transmitter and
APU air inlet and main transmission oil cooler exhaust.

Section II COMMUNICATIONS
3.4 INTERCOMMUNICATION SYSTEM C-6533()
/ARC.
Five intercommunication system (ICS) controls provide
interior intercommunication capability between crew members and with the troop commander’s position. They also
provide a means by which the pilot and copilot may select
and control associated radio equipment for voice transmission and reception. Additional audio circuits may also be
selected for constant monitoring. When the communication
control is operated in conjunction with equipment listed in
Table 3-1, it is used to select associated radio equipment
for voice operations. The operator may select any one of
five transmitters (Figure 3-2), and/or any or all of five receivers to monitor. Four direct-wired audio circuits allow

communications, and FM directional finding (homing) with
installation of other associated equipment. AM reception
only is provided on frequencies between 108.000 and
115.975 MHz. Installation of the AN/ARC-186(V) in the
UH-60A helicopter is a VHF-AM and/or VHF-FM installation(s). The transceiver has a tunable main receiver and
transmitter which operates on any one of 1,469 AM discrete channels, each spaced 25 kHz apart within the frequency range of 116.000 through 151.975 MHz, or 30.000
through 87.975 MHz FM, providing 2,319 channels. FM
homing operations within the 30 through 87.975 MHz band.
The fixed guard channels are between 116.000 and 151.975
MHz AM (usually 121.500 MHz), and between 30.000 and
87.975 MHz FM (usually 40.500 MHz). The guard frequencies are preset and only require selection by the
frequency/emergency select switch. Frequencies can be
preset for 20 channels. VHF-AM installations cannot be
used to transmit VHF-FM signals. If an AM frequency is
selected on an FM only installation, an audible tone would
be heard, warning the pilot of an out-of-band frequency
selection. The same is true in the case of selection of an FM
frequency on an AM installation. Keying the microphone
for voice transmission when in DF (homing) mode will
disable the homing function while the mic is keyed. In DF
mode, audio reception is distorted. When using secured
speech and EMER FM or AM is selected, secure speech
function will be disabled to enable normal voice communications. Power to operate the AN/ARC-186(V) radio is provided from the No. 2 dc primary bus through a circuit
breaker, marked VHF-AM for the AM radio, and from the
No. 1 and No. 2 dc primary buses, respectively, through
circuit breakers marked NO. 1 VHF-FM and NO. 2
VHF-FM for the No. 1 and No. 2 VHF-FM radios.
3.7.1 Antennas.

Radio set AN/ARC-201 (Figure 3-7) is an airborne, very
high frequency (VHF), frequency modulated (FM), radio
receiving-transmitting set compatible with the Single Channel Ground Airborne Radio Sets (SINGCARS) Electronic
Countermeasures (ECCM) mode of operation. The set provides communications of voice and data, secure or plain
text, and homing over the frequency range of 30 to 87.975
MHz channelized in 25 Khz steps. A frequency offset tuning capability of -10 Khz, -5 Khz, +5 Khz and +10 Khz is
provided in both transmit and receive mode; this capability
is not used in ECCM mode. The set when used in conjunction with the TSEC/KY-58 equipment, is used for receiving
and transmitting clear-voice or X-mode communications.
An additional capability for retransmission of clear-voice
communications allows use of the set as a relay link. During retransmission, when one radio receives a signal, it
sends a keying signal to the second radio and the first radio’s received audio modulates the second radio’s transmitter. Use of the homing capability of the No. 1 FM radio set
provides a steering output to the VSI course deviation
pointer for steering indications. No. 1 VHF-FM receives
power from the dc essential bus through a circuit breaker

3.10 RECEIVER-TRANSMITTER RADIO, RT-1518C/
ARC-164(V).
Receiver-Transmitter Radio, RT-1518C/ARC-164(V)
(Figure 3-8) is an airborne, ultra-high frequency (UHF),
amplitude-modulated (AM), radio transmitting-receiving
(transceiver) set with Have Quick II (provides Have Quick
I and Have Quick II capabilities). Have Quick provides
electronic counter countermeasures (ECCM) which use a
frequency hopping scheme to change channels multiple
times per second. The RT-1518C/ARC-164(V) contains a
multichannel, electronically tunable main transmitter and
receiver, and a fixed-tuned guard receiver. The main transceiver operates on any one of 7,000 channels, spaced in
0.025 MHz units in the 225.000 to 399.975 MHz UHF
military band. The guard receiver is always tuned to
243.000 MHz. The radio is primarily used for voice communications. An additional capability for retransmission allows use of the radio as a relay link. The radio interfaces
with the Doppler/GPS Navigation Set (DGNS) AN/ASN128B. Power to operate the ARC-164(V) radio is from the
dc essential bus through a circuit breaker marked UHF
AM.

FUNCTION

WARNING

TEST DISPLAY
button

Lights all segments of the
frequency/status and CHAN indicator. Also used with T TONE
switch for manual clock start.

The antenna radiates electromagnetic
waves at dangerous frequencies. Comply
with the requirements of AR 40-583 before using this equipment.

Frequency/status
indicator

Displays the individual frequency
selector settings or any of the following operator prompts:

The UHF-AM antenna is under the fuselage transition
section (Figure 3-1) or EH under the fuselage below the
copilot’s seat. The antenna provides a path for both the
transmitted and received UHF communication signals. The
EH-60 AN/ALQ-151(V) mission package has two
UHF-AM radios that utilize the existing fuselage transition
section conformal antenna for the voice link. The mission
package also includes the data link antenna under the fuselage where the cargo hook would normally be installed.
3.10.2 Tunable Diplexer. EH The tunable diplexer
(TD-1336/A) is connected between the antenna and the output of the ARC-164(V). When properly tuned, the diplexer
acts as a bridge network isolating signals of similar frequency which share the same antenna. The diplexer allows
the guard channel in the ARC-164(V) guard receiver to be
monitored while other frequencies in the main transmitterreceiver are being used.

3.10.4 Modes of Operation. The radio has three different methods of frequency selection as determined by the
position of the MNL-PRESET-GRD selector. An explanation of these three positions is given in paragraph 3.10.3. A
procedure for programming the 20 preset channel numbers
to the desired frequencies is given in paragraph 3.10.5.7.
The radio can operate in MAIN, BOTH, or ADF.
3.10.4.1 Normal Mode. The normal mode allows twoway voice communications.
3.10.4.2 Secure Speech (x-mode) Mode. The secure
speech mode allows secure two-way voice communications. Operation is identical to the normal mode.
3.10.4.3 ADF Mode. This mode is not normally used.
Transmission from the radio is normally not possible with
the mode selector in the ADF position.
3.10.4.4 1,020 Hz Tone Signal Mode. This mode allows transmission of a 1,020 Hz tone.
3.10.4.5 Guard Channel Mode. The BOTH position
allows use of the main receiver while monitoring the guard
receiver. The guard receiver is always tuned to 243.000
MHz.
3.10.4.6 Retransmit Mode. Retransmission permits the
helicopter to be used as an airborne relay link. Two RTs are
required (Figure 3-12) for operation as a relay unit. Operation in the retransmit mode is identical to the normal mode.
3.10.4.7 Have Quick/Anti-Jam Mode. The Have
Quick II system provides jam resistant (anti-jamming) capability through frequency hopping. Frequency hopping is
when the frequency being used for a given channel is automatically changed at a rate common to the transmitter
and receiver. The jam resistance of the system is due to the
automatic frequency changing and the pseudorandom pattern of frequencies used. Certain criteria are necessary for
successful system operations. These are:
1.

Common frequencies.

2.

Time synchronization.

3.

Common hopping pattern and rate.

4.

Common net number.

The common frequencies are programmed into all Have
Quick radios. Time synchronization is provided via UHF
radio and/or hardware by an external time distribution system. A time-of-day (TOD) signal must be received from the
time distribution system each time the radio is turned on.
The hopping pattern and hopping rate are determined by
the operator inserted word-of-day (WOD). In the AJ mode,
a communications channel is defined by a net number. In
addition to these Have Quick I capabilities, Have Quick II
provides two new frequency tables; multiple word of day
(MWOD); MWOD erase capability; Frequency Management Training net (FMT net) in addition to existing Training net (T net); and operational date information as part of
TOD for proper WOD initialization.
3.10.4.7.1 Word Of Day (WOD). WOD is entered by
using one or more of the six preset channels (15-20).
3.10.4.7.2 Multiple Word Of Day (MWOD). MWOD
allows loading of up to six WODs either manually or automatically (maintenance can load the radio using a keyfill
device). Each WOD contains a unique date code that is
entered in memory location (channel) 14. The four MWOD
operating modes: VER/OP, M-LOAD, ERASE, and
FMTCNG are used to initiate various programming functions.
3.10.4.7.3 Time Of Day (TOD).
NOTE
Automatic TOD is provided from the
Doppler/GPS Navigation Set (DGNS) AN/
ASN-128B.
TOD allows radios to operate together in the AJ mode.
Transmission and reception are possible in both single frequency and AJ modes. Slightly garbled but otherwise acceptable communications indicate the radios have drifted
out of synchronization. A time update/resynchronization
corrects this. If single WOD is used, an operational date is
not necessary.
3.10.4.7.4 TOD Clock Manual Start. When TOD from
a UTC (Universal Coordinated Time) source is not available, the TOD clock can be manually started and used in
the AJ mode. The manually started TOD clock is set to a
time completely independent of UTC. Other radios may
also communicate using this uncoordinated time once the
time has been transmitted to all radios in the net.

Change 10

3-23

TM 1-1520-237-10

3.10.4.7.5 Net Number. The net number programs the
entry point in the AJ frequency hopping pattern, allowing
multiple radio net operations using a common WOD and
TOD without interfering with each other. Selecting A with
frequency selector 1 places the radio in AJ mode and programs the radio to use the net number selected by frequency
selectors 2, 3, and 4. The net number begins with A and is
followed by three digits (000 to 999).
Operational Net Numbers. The last two digits designate the frequency table being used. Net numbers
ending in 00 select the original A-net and B-net frequency table. Net numbers ending in 25 select the
new NATO/Europe frequency table. Net numbers
ending in 50 select the new non-NATO/Europe frequency table. Net numbers ending in 75 are reserved
for future use and will generate an invalid net alarm
(pulsating warning tone).
Training/FMT Net Numbers. T-net and FMT-net
training numbers are available for training purposes.
In the T-net training mode, the radio hops among five
frequencies loaded in with the WOD. In the FMT-net
training mode, the radio hops among sixteen frequencies.
3.10.4.7.6 Conference Capability. In the AJ mode,
the radio is able to receive and process two simultaneous
transmissions on the same net. In a conference net, the
second transmitting radio automatically shifts its transmission frequency 25 kHz when it monitors a transmission on
the primary net frequency. The wide band receiver reads
both transmissions without the interference normally associated with two radios transmitting simultaneously on the
same frequency. Conference capability is enabled or disabled by the last two digits of the WOD element loaded in
memory location (channel) 19. If the WOD element ends
with 00 or 50, conferencing is enabled. If the WOD element ends with 25 or 75, conferencing is disabled. When
operating in secure speech mode, conferencing is automatically disabled. If operating in AJ mode on a single element
WOD (memory location (channel) 20 only), conferencing
is enabled by default. For training mode operation, conferencing is always enabled.

2 When the KY-58 has successfully received a cryptovariable, this tone indicates that a 9good9 cryptovariable is
present in the selected register.
3 When you begin to receive a ciphered
message this tone indicates that the
cryptovariable has passed the 9parity9
check, and that it is a good variable.

3 Equipment failure has occurred. To
clear this tone, follow the 9Loading
Procedures9 in TM 11-5810-262-10. If
this tone continues, have the equipment checked out by maintenance personnel.

(f) A single beep, when the RCU is in TD
(Time Delay) occurring after the 9preamble9 is sent, indicates that you may begin speaking.

(d) Continuous tone could also indicate a cryptoalarm. If this tone occurs at any time
other than in (c) above, equipment failure
may have occurred. To clear this tone, repeat the 9Loading Procedures9 in TM 115810-262-10. If this tone continues, have
the equipment checked out by maintenance
personnel.

(g) A single beep, followed by a burst of noise
after which exists a seemingly 9dead9 condition indicates that your receiver is on a
different variable than the distant transmitter. If this tone occurs when in cipher text
mode: Turn RCU FILL switch to the CNV
and contact the transmitter in PLAIN text
and agree to meet on a particular variable.

(e) Single beep, when RCU is not in TD (Time
Delay), can indicate any of the three normal conditions:

3.12 RADIO RETRANSMISSION CONTROL.
Control of retransmission is through a switch panel (Figure 3-12) on the lower console. The position of the switch
determines which radio set pairs will be used when the
corresponding FM and VHF radio function and VOL
switches (not required for UHF) are placed to RETRAN.
Operation of the retransmission control is included with the
operating procedures of each radio set where applicable.
The retransmission control is only a means of directing the
audio output of a receiver to the audio input of a transmitter
through switching.
3.12A HF RADIO SET AN/ARC-220.

3.12A.1 Antenna. The tubular antenna element extends
from the left side of the transition area to a point just forward of the hinged tailcone section, and is supported by
four masts. RF energy is supplied to the antenna through
the forward mast (Figure 3-1).
3.12A.2 Controls and Functions. The radio is controlled by a control display unit (CDU) located in the lower
console (Figure 3-12.1). The function of each control and
display is as follows:

WARNING
Make sure that no personnel are within 3
feet of the HF antenna when transmitting,
performing radio checks or when in ALE
mode. Do not touch the RF output terminal on the antenna coupler, the insulated
feed through, or the antenna itself while
the microphone is keyed (after the tuning
cycle is complete) or while the system is in
transmit self-test. Serious RF burns can
result from direct contact with the above
criteria.
a. The AN/ARC-220 HF transceiver provides long
range communications. The HF radio receives and transmits on any one of 280,000 frequencies spaced at 100 Hz
steps on the high frequency (HF) band. The HF radio has a
frequency range of 2.0000 - 29.9999 MHz. Preset nets can
be manually programmed by the pilot, or loaded with a data
transfer device (DTD). Emission modes available are upper
side band (USB) voice, lower side band (LSB) voice, amplitude modulation equivalent (AME), or continuous wave
(CW), with a selection of 10, 50, or 175 watts of transmitting power. Transmit tune time is normally less than 1 second. The radio also has automatic link establishment (ALE)
and electronic counter countermeasures (ECCM) frequency
hopping mode. Data messages may be composed and stored
in the receiver/transmitter’s memory. These messages may
be transmitted and received using any operational mode of
the radio set.
b. Power for the radio is provided from the No. 1 dc
primary bus through a circuit breaker marked HF.

Direction Finder set AN/ARN-89 (Figure 3-13) is an
airborne, low frequency (LF), automatic direction finder
(ADF) radio, that provides an automatic or manual compass bearing on any radio signal within the frequency range
of 100 to 3,000 kHz. The ADF can identify keyed or continuous wave (CW) stations. The ADF displays the bearing
of the helicopter relative to a selected radio transmission on
the horizontal situation indicator No. 2 bearing pointer
(Figure 3-31 ). When ADF is selected on the MODE SEL
panel (Figure 3-32) three modes of operation permit the
system to function: as a CW automatic direction finder, as a
CW manual direction finder or as an amplitude-modulated
(AM) broadcast receiver. Power to operate the Direction
Finder AN/ARN-89 is provided by No. 1 dc primary bus
through a circuit breaker, marked ADF, and the ac essential
bus through a circuit breaker, marked 26VAC INST.
3.13.1 Antennas. The ADF sense antenna is a part of
the VHF/FM No. 2, VHF/AM, antenna (Figure 3-1) under
the nose section of the helicopter. The ADF loop antenna is
flush-mounted, under the center fuselage section.

3.14 DIRECTION FINDER SET AN/ARN -149 (LF/
ADF) (IF INSTALLED).
The AN/ARN -149 (Figure 3-14) is a low frequency
(LF), automatic direction finder (ADF) radio, providing
compass bearing capability within the frequency range of
100 to 2199.5 kHz. The ADF has two functional modes of
operation: ANT and ADF. The antenna (ANT) mode functions as an aural receiver, providing only an aural output of
the received signal. The ADF mode functions as an automatic direction finder, providing a relative bearing-tostation signal to the horizontal situation indicator No. 2
bearing pointer and an aural output. A TONE submode of
operation can be selected in either ANT or ADF mode,
providing a 1000-Hz aural output to identify keyed CW
signals. Power is provided to the LF/ADF system by the
No. 1 dc primary bus through a circuit breaker, labeled
ADF, and the ac essential bus through a circuit breaker,
labeled 26 VAC INST.
3.14.1 Antennas. The antenna system is a single combination antenna containing both loop and sense elements.
The RF signal from one loop element is modulated with a
reference sine signal while the other loop element is modulated with a reference cosine signal. The two modulated
signals are combined, phase shifted 90°, and amplified. The
resulting loop signal is summed with the sense antenna sig-

tion. The antenna configuration is flush mounted under the
bottom cabin fuselage (Figure 3-1).

AN/ARN-123(V)

Radio set AN/ARN 123(V) (Figure 3-15) is a very highfrequency receiver that operates from 108.00 to 117.95
MHz. Course information is presented by the VSI course
deviation pointer and the selectable No. 2 bearing pointer
on the horizontal situation indicator. The combination of
the glide slope capability and the localizer capability makes
up the instrument landing system (ILS). The marker beacon
portion of the receiver visually indicates on the VSI MB
advisory light, and aurally indicates on the headphones, of
passage of the helicopter over a marker beacon transmitter.
The receiving set may be used as a VOR receiver, or ILS
receiver. The desired type of operation is selected by tuning
the receiving set to the frequency corresponding to that
operation. ILS operation is selected by tuning to the odd
tenth MHz frequencies between 108.0 and 112.0 MHz.
VOR operation is selected by tuning in .050 MHz units to
the frequencies between 108.0 and 117.95 MHz, except the
odd tenth MHz between 108.0 and 112.0 MHz, which are
reserved for ILS operation. The three receiver sections do
the intended functions independent of each other. Performance degradation within any one of the major sections
will not affect the performance of the others. Power for the
AN/ARN-123 is provided from the dc essential bus through
a circuit breaker, marked VOR/ILS.

3.17 DOPPLER NAVIGATION SET
AN/ASN-128. UH
The Doppler navigation set, AN/ASN-128, in conjunction with the helicopter’s heading and vertical reference
systems, provides helicopter velocity, position, and steering
information from ground level to 10,000 feet. To achieve
best results with the set, pitch and roll angles should be
limited to 30° pitch and 45° roll, and moderate maneuver
rates should be employed. The Doppler navigation system
is a completely self-contained navigation system and does
not require any ground-based aids. The system provides
world-wide navigation, with position readout available in
both Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) and Latitude
and Longitude (LAT/LONG)(Figure 3-22). Navigation and
steering is done using LAT/LONG coordinates, and a bilateral UTM-LAT/LONG conversion routine is provided for
UTM operation. Up to ten destinations may be entered in
either format and not necessarily the same format. Present
position data entry format is also optional and independent
of destination format. Power to operate the AN/ASN-128 is
provided from No. 1 dc primary bus through a circuit
breaker marked DPLR, and from the ac essential bus
through a circuit breaker, marked 26 VAC DPLR, refer to
TM 11-5841-281-12.

3.17.3 Modes of Operation. The three basic modes of
operation are: Navigate, test, and backup.
3.17.3.1 Test Mode. The TEST mode contains two
functions: LAMP TEST mode, in which all display segments are lit, and TEST mode, in which system operation
is verified. In the LAMP TEST mode, system operation is
identical to that of the navigate mode except that all lamp
segments and the MEM and MAL indicator lamps are
lighted to verify their operation (Figure 3-18). In TEST
mode, the system antenna no longer transmits or receives
electromagnetic energy; instead, self-generated test signals
are inserted into the electronics to verify operation. System
operation automatically reverts into the backup mode during test mode. Self-test of the Doppler set is done using
built-in-test equipment (BITE), and all units connected and
energized for normal operation. Self-test isolates failures to
one of the three units. The computer-display unit (except
for the keyboard and display) is on a continuous basis, and
any failure is displayed by turn-on of the MAL indicator
lamp on the computer-display unit. The signal data converter and receiver-transmitter-antenna are tested by turning the MODE switch to TEST. Failure of those components is displayed on the computer-display unit by turn-on
of the MAL indicator lamp. Identification of the failed unit
is indicated by a code on the display panel of the computerdisplay unit. Continuous monitoring of the signal data converter and receiver-transmitter-antenna is provided by the
MEM indicator lamp. The MEM indicator lamp will light
in normal operation when flying over smooth water. However, if the lamp remains on for over 10 minutes, over land
or rough water, there is a malfunction in the Doppler set.
Then the operator should turn the MODE switch to TEST,
to determine the nature of the malfunction. Keyboard operation is verified by observing the alphanumeric readout as
the keyboard is used.
3.17.3.2 Navigate Mode. In the navigate mode (UTM
or LAT/LONG position of the MODE selector), power is
applied to all system components, and all required outputs
and functions are provided. Changes in present position are
computed and added to initial position to determine the
instantaneous latitude/longitude of the helicopter. Destination and present position coordinates can be entered and
displayed in UTM and latitude/longitude. At the same time,
distance, bearing and time-to-go to any one of ten preset
destinations are computed and displayed as selected by the
FLY-TO DEST thumbwheel.
3.17.3.3 Backup Mode. In this mode, remembered velocity data are used for navigation. The operator can insert
ground speed and track angle with the keyboard and the
display in GS-TK position. This remembered velocity data
can be manually updated through use of the keyboard and

3-40

CDU DISPLAY switch in the GS-TK position. When
GS-TK values are inserted under these conditions, navigation continues using only these values.
3.17.4 Operation.
3.17.4.1 Window Display and Keyboard Operation.
In all data displays except UTM coordinates, the two fields
are the left and right display windows. In UTM coordinates
displays, the first field of control is the center window and
the second field is the combination of the left and right
displays. When pressing the KYBD pushbutton, one or
other of the fields described above is under control. If it is
not desired to change the display in the panel section under
control, the pilot can advance to the next field of the display
panel by pressing the KYBD pushbutton again. The last
character entered may be cleared by pressing the CLR key.
That character may be a symbol or an alphanumeric character. However, if the CLR key is pressed twice in succession, all characters in the field under control will be cleared
and that field will still remain under control.
3.17.4.2 Data Entry.
1. To enter a number, press the corresponding key.
To enter a letter, first press the key corresponding to the desired letter. Then press a key in the
left, middle, or right column corresponding to
the position of the letter on the pushbutton.
2. Example: To enter an L, first press L, then either 3, 6, or 9 in the right column. The computer program is designed to reject unacceptable data (for example, a UTM area of WI does
not exist, and will be rejected). If the operator
attempts to insert unacceptable data, the display
will be blank after ENT is pressed.
3.17.4.3 Starting Procedure.
1. MODE selector - LAMP TEST. All lights
should be lit.
a. Left, right, Center and Target storage indicator - Lit (Figure 3-18). All other lights
should be on.
b. Turn DIM control fully clockwise, then

3.17.4.17 Operation During and After Power Interruption. During a dc power interruption inflight, or when
all helicopter power is removed, the random access memory
(RAM) (stored destination and present position) data is retained by power from an 8.4 volt dc dry cell battery. This
makes it unnecessary to reenter any navigational data when
power returns or before each flight. If the battery does not
retain the stored destination data during power interruption,
the display will indicate on EN when power returns. This
indicates to the pilot that previously stored data has been
lost, and that present position, spheroid/variation, and destinations must be entered. The computer, upon return of
power, resets present position variation to E000.0°, destination and associated variations to a non-entered state, remembers wind to zero and spheroid to CL6. The following
data must be entered following battery failure:

3.17A.3 Modes of Operation. Control of the Doppler/
GPS, including selection of modes and displays, and entry
and readout of data is performed via the Computer Display
Unit (CDU) front panel. The system has four basic modes
of operation: OFF, navigate, TEST and GPS LDG. In the
navigate mode three submodes may be selected manually
or automatically. These are combined mode (default or primary mode of operation), GPS only mode, or Doppler only
mode.
3.17A.3.1 OFF Mode. In the OFF mode the system is
inoperable. However, the edge lighting is lighted by an external aircraft power source and is independent of the
Doppler/GPS MODE selector setting. Edge lighting may
not be available if the helicopter is modified with the night
vision MWO.
3.17A.3.2 Navigate Mode. In the navigate mode
(MGRS or LAT/LONG) position of the CDU MODE selector) power is applied to all system components, and all
required outputs and functions are provided. The Doppler
radar velocity sensor (DRVS) measures aircraft velocity,
and converts analog heading, pitch and roll into digital
form. This data and embedded GPS receiver (EGR) velocity and position data are then sent to the CDU for processing. Barometric altitude is used for aiding the GPS when
only three satellites are available. Four satellites are required if the barometric altitude sensor is not available.
Present position is computed by using one of three navigation submodes which can be selected manually or automatically. These submodes are as follows:
3.17A.3.2.1 Combined Mode (Default or Primary
Mode of Operation). Doppler and GPS position and velocity data are combined to provide navigation. This mode
is used when a minimum of three (with barometric sensor)
or four satellites are available, GPS Estimated Position Error (EPE) is less than approximately 150 meters, and the
Doppler is not in memory. If GPS becomes invalid (e.g.
due to increased EPE), the system will automatically switch
to Doppler mode until a valid GPS status is received. The
GPS POS ALERT advisory light will illuminate when this
happens. If the Doppler becomes invalid (e.g. flight over
glassy smooth water), the system will automatically switch
to GPS mode if GPS is valid or an alternate Doppler mode
if the GPS is not valid.
3.17A.3.2.2 GPS Mode. GPS positions and velocities
are used for navigation by the Doppler navigation processor
in the CDU. If GPS mode is selected and the GPS becomes
invalid (paragraph 3.17A.3.2.1), the system will not navigate. The GPS POS ALERT advisory light indicates that
GPS signals are not reliable.

3.17A.3.2.3 Doppler Mode. Doppler position and velocity data are used for navigation. If Doppler mode is selected and the Doppler becomes invalid (paragraph
3.17A.3.2.1), the system will automatically switch to True
Air Speed (TAS) mode (using remembered wind) if a TAS
sensor is available, or remembered velocity if a TAS sensor
is not available. If Doppler mode is manually selected at
the start of the flight an initial present position must be
obtained and entered prior to flight. Navigation is performed in latitude/longitude for computational convenience
only. At the same time, distance, bearing and time-to-go to
any one of 100 preset destinations are computed (as selected by FLY-TO-DEST).
3.17A.3.3 Test Mode. The TEST mode contains two
functions: LAMP TEST mode, in which all display segments are lit, and TEST mode, in which system operation
is verified. In the LAMP TEST mode, system operation is
identical to that of the navigate mode except that all lamp
segments and the MEM and MAL indicator lamps are
lighted to verify their operation. In TEST, the RTA no
longer transmits or receives electromagnetic energy; instead, self-generated test signals are inserted into the electronics to verify operation of the DRVS. At this time a self
test is performed by the GPS and navigation computations
continue using remembered velocity. In the TEST mode,
Doppler test results are displayed on the CDU front panel
for the first 15 seconds (approximate). At the end of this
period either GO is displayed if there is no malfunction in
the navigation set, or a failure code is displayed if a malfunction has occurred. A rotating bar on the display indicates that the GPS has not completed self test. If the navigation set is maintained in the TEST mode, no navigation
data can be displayed on the CDU front panel. If a Doppler
malfunction is detected, the MAL indicator lamp lights and
DF is displayed. At the completion of GPS self test (up to
two minutes), the rotating bar is replaced with a complete
test result code. The failed unit and the failed circuit card
are also indicated by a code on the CDU display. The CDU
is continuously monitored for failures, using its own computer as built-in-test-equipment (BITE). Any BITE malfunction causes the MAL indicator lamp on the CDU to
light. If the MODE selector on the CDU is set to TEST,
identification of the failed LRU is indicated by a code on
the display panel. Aircraft heading, pitch and roll are also
displayed in the mode by pressing the ENT key after Doppler test is completed. GPS test status is displayed if the
ENT key is pressed a second time. Malfunction codes are
automatically latched and can only be cleared by recycling
the CDU power via the CDU mode switch (OFF-ON).
3.17A.3.4 GPS Landing Mode. In the GPS LDG
mode, the Doppler navigation system provides information

Change 8

3-46.3

TM 1-1520-237-10

to the HSI and VSI indicators for real time landing guidance to a touch down point previously entered in any of the
100 fly-to destinations. The landing approach is determined
by present position and the entered touch down altitude,
glideslope and inbound approach course.
3.17A.4 CDU Operation. Various required operating
data, such as initial present position (if GPS is not valid or
Doppler mode is selected), destination coordinates with or
without GPS landing data, and magnetic variation can at
any time be entered into the CDU via its keyboard, or the
data loader (Figure 3-11) via the preprogrammed data
loader cartridge. In most cases, these data will be entered
before the aircraft takes off. The GPS provides present position to the Doppler/GPS. If GPS is not available or Doppler is selected present position can be initialized as follows:
1. The MODE selector should be set to MGRS or
LAT/LONG, the WP/TGT display position of
the DISPLAY selector is selected, the destination number is set to P (default waypoint) and
KYBD key is pressed. The coordinates of the
initial position is overflown, the ENT key is
pressed. The computer then determines changes
from the initial position continuously, and the
coordinates of the current present position can
be read either by remaining in this configuration or by setting the DISPLAY selector to PP
(present position) and the MODE selector to
MGRS or LAT/LONG.
2. To update present position over a stored destination, KYBD key is pressed when the aircraft
overflies this destination. If an update is desired, the ENT key is pressed and the update is
completed. The DISPLAY selector is in the
DIST/BRG/TIME position and the FLY-TODEST is set to this destination during this process. The distance-to-go, displayed while over
the stored destination, is the position error of
the system at that moment.
3. To update present position over a fixed point
not previously stored in the computer, the DISPLAY selector is placed to PP and KYBD key
is pressed as the fix point is overflown. This
freezes the display while allowing computation
of changes in present position to continue
within the computer. If an update is required
the coordinates of the fix point are entered via
the keyboard, and ENT key is pressed. The position change which occurred since over-flying
the fix point is automatically added to the fix

3-46.4

Change 10

point coordinates to complete the position update.
4. Magnetic variation can be entered for each destination, and the system will compute present
position magnetic variation. If operation is to
occur in a region with relatively constant magnetic variation, the operator enters magnetic
variation only for present position and the computer will use this value throughout the flight. If
MGRS data are to be entered or displayed, the
MGRS datum of operation is also entered.
3.17A.5 Target-of-Opportunity. Target-of-opportunity
data can be stored by pressing TGT STR (target store) key
when the target is overflown. This operation stores the coordinates of the target in one of ten destination locations in
the computer; locations 90-99 sequentially incrementing
each time the TGT STR key is pressed. The location is
displayed in the appropriate display field. The computer
can keep track of individual target positions which may
include speeds and directions input by the operator.
3.17A.6 Self Test. Self test of the AN/ASN-128B is accomplished using BITE with the RTA, SDC, and CDU
units connected and energized for normal operation. Self
test enables the unit to isolate failures to one of the four
main functions (RTA, SDC, CDU or EGR) or to one of
the circuit cards in the SDC or CDU. Self test is accomplished as follows:
1. The CDU (except for the keyboard and display)
is checked on a continuous basis, and any failure is displayed by the illumination of the MAL
indicator lamp on the CDU. If the MODE selector on the CDU is set to the TEST position,
identification of the failed circuit card in the
CDU is indicated by a code on the display
panel.
2. The DRVS and EGR are tested by setting the
MODE selector on the CDU to the TEST position. Failure of the DRVS or EGR are displayed on the CDU by illumination of the MAL
indicator lamp, and identification of the failed
unit or circuit card is indicated by a code on the
display panel of the CDU.
3. Continuous monitoring of the signal data converter and receiver transmitter antenna is provided by the system status indication. The system will not use Doppler velocities in normal
operation when flying over glassy smooth water. However, if the system continues to not use

TM 1-1520-237-10

Doppler (e.g. using GPS only when combined
has been selected) for excessive periods of time
(e.g. more than 10 minutes) over land or rough
water, then a malfunction may exist in the navigation set and the operator should set the
MODE selector to TEST to determine the nature of the failure.
4. The display portion of the CDU is tested by
illuminating all the lamp segments in each alphanumeric character in the LAMP TEST
mode.
5. Keyboard operation is verified by observing the
alphanumeric characters as the keyboard is exercised.
3.17A.7 Route Sequencing Modes. The system has
the ability to fly a preprogrammed sequence of waypoints.
This sequence can be either consecutively numbered in
which case a start and end waypoint are entered or random
numbered, in which case all waypoints are put in a list and
the start and end waypoints are entered. Both sequence
modes can be flown in the order they are in the list or in the
reverse order. Directions will be displayed to the waypoint
next on the list until approximately 10 seconds before overflying the waypoint at which time the display will advance
to the next waypoint and the new waypoint number will
blink for ten seconds. One consecutive and one random
sequence may be stored in the system.
3.17A.8 To-To Route Mode. The system has the ability
to provide steering information onto a course defined by the
start and end waypoints. Only the second waypoint will be
overflown. The distance displayed is the distance to the
course when outside two nautical miles of the course and
the distance to the second waypoint when inside two nautical miles of the course.
3.17A.9 General Operating Procedures for Entering Data. The panel display consists of four line LED
readout. The top line of the display is reserved for the display of Fly-To destination number and destination name/
International Civil Aeronautic Organization (ICAO) identifier, EPE in meters, mode of GPS and mode of AN/ASN128B operation and target store number. The remaining
lines will display data in accordance with the DISPLAY
and MODE selectors. When pressing the KYBD key for
the first time in an entry procedure, the display freezes,
kybd is displayed in the bottom right corner indicating the
display is in the keyboard mode and the input field under
keyboard control blinks. If it is not desired to change the
display field under control, the pilot can advance to the next
field of the display by pressing the KYBD key again. Press-

ing the ENT key (whether or not new data has been entered) causes the display to blank momentarily and return
with the latest computed data. To abort a keyboard operation, move the MODE or DISPLAY selector to another
position.
a. Data Entry. To display a letter, first press the LTR
key corresponding to the position of the desired letter on a
key. Then press the key which contains the desired letter.
For example, to enter an L, first press the LTR RIGHT
key, then press key 4.
b. Keyboard Correction Capability. The last character
entered may be cleared by pressing the CLR key. If the
CLR key is pressed twice in succession, the field is cleared
but remains under control (indicated by blinking) and the
last valid data entered is displayed.
c. Destination Variation Constraint. The magnetic variation associated with a destination must be entered after the
coordinates for that destination are entered. The order of
entry for present position is irrelevant.
d. Impossibility of Entering Unacceptable Data. In most
cases the computer program will reject unacceptable data
(for example, a MGRS area of W1 does not exist and will
be rejected). If the operator attempts to insert unacceptable
data, the unacceptable data will be displayed on the panel
and then the selected field will blink after ENT key is
pressed displaying the last valid data.
NOTE
The computer cannot prevent insertion of erroneous data resulting, for example, from
human or map errors.
e. Procedure for Displaying Wind Speed and Direction

This is a direct key entry action.
Left-Right Steering Signals
c. There are two methods the pilot may use to
fly-to destination, using left-right steering signals displayed on the computer-display unit. As
an aid to maintaining course, set DISPLAY selector to XTK/TKE position and steer vehicle
to keep track angle error (TKE) nominally zero.
Left-right steering signals may be used when
flying the shortest distance to destination from
present position (Method 1) or when flying a
ground track from start of leg to destination
(Method 2).
Method 1

(5) When overflying landmark, press ENT
key.
(6) If an update is not desired, set the DISPLAY selector to some other position.
This action aborts the update mode.
3.17A.12 Fly-To Destination Operation.
a. Initialization of Desired Course. When a fly-to
destination is selected such as at the start of a
leg, the present position at the time is stored in
the computer. A course is then computed between the selected point and the destination. If
the aircraft deviates from this desired course,
the lateral offset or crosstrack distance error is
computed. Distance and bearing to destination,
actual track angle, and track angle error correction are computed from resent position to destination. See Figure 3-18.2 for a graphic definition of these terms.
b. Procedure for selecting one of 100 possible
Fly-To destinations (Direct/Default Mode). The
Doppler/GPS navigation set has the capability
of selecting a fly-to destination from 100 destinations (number 00-99). As an example, consider selecting Fly-To destination number 43.
(1) Set MODE selector to MGRS (LAT/
LONG or GPS LDG may also be used).
3-46.16

Change 10

When flying shortest distance to destination from present
position, set DISPLAY selector to DIST/BRG/TIME position and steer vehicle to bearing displayed. If the display
indicates a L (left) TKE, the aircraft must be flown to the
left to zero the error and fly directly to the destination.
Method 2
When flying a ground track, set DISPLAY selector to
XTK/TKE position. Steer vehicle to obtain zero for
crosstrack error (XTK). If XTK is left (L), aircraft is to
right of the desired course and must be flown to the left to
regain the initial course. Select the course deviation bar by
pressing, then releasing the DPLR GPS lens on the HSI
MODE SEL panel.
d. Procedure to enter route-sequence to-to mode.
The Doppler/GPS navigation set has the capability to navigate a course set up between two
destinations. As an example, consider navigating onto a course starting from destination
number 62 and ending at destination number
45.

MODE SEL panel.
k. Procedure for transferring stored destination/
target data from one location to another. The
following procedure allows the operator to
transfer (copy) stored destination/target data
from one destination/target location to another
destination location. The transferred data consists of destination name/ICAO identifier, location, variation, and landing information. For illustrative purposes only, it is assumed that the
operator wants to put the coordinates of stored
target 97 into the location for destination 12.
(1) Set DISPLAY selector to WP/TGT position.
(2) Press key 9 then 7.
(3) Press KYBD key, press key 1 then 2.

TM 1-1520-237-10

l. Operation during and after a power interruption. During a power interruption, the stored
destination and target data and present position
are retained by non-volatile RAM inside the
CDU. This makes it unnecessary to reenter any
navigation data when power returns. GPS satellite data are also retained by a battery inside
the SDC. This makes it unnecessary to reload
the crypto key or wait for the collection of any
almanac. Navigation will be interrupted during
the absence of power; however the present position will be updated when the GPS data becomes valid provided the DGNS mode has not
been selected as Doppler only. The pilot will
have to re-enter the GPS operating mode (M or
Y) using a single key (5 or 9). In the event the
CDU is initialized, the display will indicate
only EN when the CDU is operated. This is an
indication to the operator that previously stored
data has been lost and that spheroid/variation,
destinations, and calibration data must be entered. Present position needs to be entered only
if Doppler only mode has been selected. The
KYBD key must be pressed to clear the EN.
The pilot will have to re-enter the GPS operating mode (M only) using single key (5). The
computer initializes to the following: operating
mode to combined, present position variation to
E000.0, destinations and associated variations
to a nonentered state, wind speed (water motion) and sea current speed to 000, spheroid to
WGS 84 (WG-4), present position to N45°
00.00’E000°00.00’ (until updated by GPS), target store location to 90, along track calibration
correction to 00.0 percent, and magnetic compass deviation corrections to 000.0 degrees. The
following data must be entered:

(7) Enter each destination and its associated
variation.
m. Procedure for displaying aircraft heading, pitch,
and roll (Maintenance Function).
(1) Set the CDU mode switch to TEST and
observe the CDU test mode display.
(2) After the Doppler test is completed press
the ENT key.
(3) Observe the CDU display. The top three
display lines indicate, in degrees and tenths
of a degree, aircraft system heading, pitch,
and roll.

TM 1-1520-237-10

accurate indications of the helicopter navigation parameters
including present position, velocity, altitude and heading
information. The system employs a serial data bus for data
interchange within the IINS and with external mission system computers. The IINS also interfaces with the helicopter
flight instruments and altimeter encoder. The multiplex data
bus system consisting of two buses (A and B), with only
one bus active at any given time. The other bus is in a
standby mode for redundancy purposes to provide a path
for data flow between the Standard Inertial Navigation System (STD INS), Signal Converter Unit, Navigation Proces-

sor Unit, Control Display Unit, and the external mission
systems. Data to and from the TACAN receiver-transmitter
is first processed by the SCU before it is applied to the
multiplex data bus.
3.19 CONTROLS, DISPLAYS, AND FUNCTION.
The IINS controls and displays (Figure 3-19) are contained on the CDU. The function of each control is as follows:

FUNCTION

1

Data display

Displays multiple flight parameters to the operator on seven
data lines and a scratch pad line on the face of the cathode
ray tube (CRT).

2

Line select keys

On both sides of data display lines 1, 3, 5, and 7 are pushbuttons (line select keys) which perform functions as defined by the legend adjacent to the key on the data display.
If a line select key is active on a particular page, an arrow
will appear in the character space closest to the key. Arrows will be oriented toward the legend, up, or toward the
key (away from the legend). These orientations (with examples) are defined as follows:
1. g legend s (TH 358.3 s). If the arrow points toward the
legend a numeric entry (entered into the scratch pad on line
8) is allowed by pressing the adjacent line select key.
2. s legend g (MAG g). If the arrow points away from the
legend, pressing the adjacent line select key will initiate the
function described by the legend. For example, pressing the
line select key adjacent to 9MAG g9 will change the display
to MAG Heading (MH) and MAG VAR (MV).
3. d legend d (d T/R). If the arrow points up, the legend
indicates current mode status and pressing the adjacent line
select key will change the mode. If no arrow appears next
to a legend then that line select key performs no operation.
4. Up or down pointing arrows on the sixth line of the data
display allows operator to slew display one page up or
down by pressing page slew toggle switch up or down.

3

Alphanumeric keys

Alphanumeric entries are made, by pressing one of the ten
character keys on the keyboard and will appear first in the
scratch pad (line 8). Each actuation of a key will cause a
character to be displayed from left to right in the scratch
pad. When using multiple letter keys (e.g., KLM/5), letters
K, L, or M can be entered into the scratch pad by successive actuations of the KLM/5 key. The 0-9 and. keys shall
enter the respective number of decimal point unless the
keyboard is in the letter mode. When the LTR/USE key is
pressed, LTR is annunciated to the right of the scratch pad,
and the next keystroke will enter an alpha character. When
the desired data appears in the scratch pad, it will be entered by pressing the line select key adjacent to the data
being updated. When the line select key is pressed, the
scratch pad contents will be checked for proper range and
format. If the entry is valid, it will be transferred to the
IINS, read back, and displayed adjacent to the line select
key. Completion of this cycle will clear the scratch pad.

2. FAST. In this position the STD INS either performs a
stored heading alignment or best available true heading
(BATH) alignment. If a BATH alignment is performed,
true or magnetic heading information must be entered not
later than 1 minute after selecting the FAST mode. If magnetic heading information is not entered, system will assume a stored heading. After heading information is entered, present position may be entered if desired. FAST
alignment is a degraded mode of operation and should not
be used under normal conditions.
3. NORM. In this position the STD INS performs a gyrocompass alignment. Present coordinates must be entered
not later than 2 minutes after selecting the NORM mode.
4. NAV. This is the STD INS primary flight mode of operation. NAV is entered after satisfactory alignment conditions have been met.
5. UPDT. In this position the NPU freezes present position
data for a later manual position update by overflying a
known position designated by a mark.
6. ATTD. In this position the STD INS initiates an attitude
reference mode of operation. Although navigation processing is discontinued, the STD INS continues to provide a
stable reference frame for generation of roll, pitch, and inertial heading angles.

3.22 SYSTEMS SELECT PANEL.

3.20 SIGNAL CONVERTER UNIT,
CV-3739/ASN-132. EH
The SCU performs data processing to convert the
TACAN RT Aeronautical Radio Incorporated (ARINC) inputs and outputs to corresponding serial data formats for
transmission over the multiplex data buses to the NPU and
CDU. The SCU can communicate via one of the two multiplex data buses. Although the SCU communicates over
only one multiplex data bus at a time, it can monitor both
buses continuously to determine over which bus valid data
communications are taking place. Redundant portions of
the SCU circuitry are isolated to ensure that a failure of one
bus does not degrade performance of the remaining bus.

The SYSTEMS SELECT panel (Figure 3-20) consists
of two switch light indicators, located on the center lower
edge of the instrument panel. It provides a switching capability for utilization of IINS through a relay assembly. The
SYSTEMS SELECT panel operates as follows:

HDG
DG:

RECEIVER-

The position error of an inertial navigation system increases with time, therefore, a position reference sensor is
used to update the inertial data, and thereby bound the
time-growing position error. The IINS derives position updates from the TACAN RT range and bearing measurements. The TACAN RT determines the relative bearing and
range of the helicopter from a selected TACAN ground
station. The TACAN RT operates within 390 nautical miles
of a TACAN ground station. Since the TACAN system
operating limit is line of sight, the actual operating range is
dependent on helicopter altitude. The TACAN system operates on a selected channel from 252 available channels.
The 252 channels are equally divided into 126 x-channels
and 126 y-channels with both x- and y-channels spaced at 1
MHz intervals. Upon being interrogated by the TACAN
RT, the ground station beacon transmits a signal. From the
return signal, the TACAN RT computes bearing and distance values for updating the inertial system information.
The TACAN RT outputs are processed by the SCU for
compatibility with the multiplex data buses. The TACAN
RT also produces and transmits distance information when
interrogated in the air-to-air operation another TACAN
equipped aircraft, however, this air-to-air mode precludes
using the TACAN information to update the IINS.

3.23.4 In-flight Procedures.
a. MARK Operation. Current aircraft position may be
stored in one of the markpoint locations (destinations A-F)
by pressing the MRK key when in NAV mode. The location where present position was stored is displayed in the
CDU scratch pad regardless of currently selected page. Figure 3-24 illustrates 9MARK C9 in the scratch pad with the
STR page selected.
(1) The MARK locations are used in sequence (-A,
B, C, D, E, F, A, B,..). The MARK display will
remain in the scratch pad unless it is cleared
with the CLR key or the scratch pad is used to
enter some other data.
(2) Pressing the MRK pushbutton will freeze, for
30 seconds, the display of present position on
the Steering and Position pages; and the display
of cardinal headings/distance on both the destination and Steering Page. After 30 seconds or
after the CLR key is pressed, the current position will return.
b. Manual Updating (Overfly Position Updating). An
overfly update represents a manual position update technique in which the pilot overflies his selected destination
and signals the INU by pressing the MRK key. To initiate
a manual update, proceed as follows.

TM 1-1520-237-10

NOTE

(a) Perform steps 1. (a) through 1. (f) above.

If indicated air speed is greater than 5 knots,
the manual update will not remove 100% of
the positional error or zero out the cardinal
headings, time to go (TTG) or distance to
destination. The percentage of actual update
is a dynamic function of the computer software.

(b) If the cardinal headings, time-to-go (TTG)
and range do not decrease to 0.0, verify
that both the destination and steerpoint indicators (Dx, Sx) are set to the destination
that the update is being performed on. Repeat steps 1. (a) through 1. (f).

(1) Indicated airspeed greater than 5 knots.

(c) To proceed with the mission, select a new
steerpoint.

(a) Ensure that the displayed Destination and
Steerpoint indicators (Dx, Sx) are both set
to the destination that the update will be
performed on.
(b) Rotate the mode select switch to the UPDT
position. The page shown in Figure 3-26
will be displayed.
(c) When the aircraft is directly over the destination point, depress the MRK key. The
page shown in Figure 3-27 will be displayed.
(d) If the pilot decides to accept the update
(ACCEPT here means to tell the INU that
the positional update will be accepted) depress line select key 7 left to accept the
update (REJECT here means to tell the
INU that the positional update will not be
accepted), depress line select key 7 right to
reject the update. In either case, the page
shown in Figure 3-27 will be redisplayed.
NOTE
The following display changes are not immediate. It will take approximately 5 seconds for the data to change.
(e) Rotate the mode select switch to NAV.
(f) Observe that the cardinal heading, timeto-go (TTG), and range decrease towards
0.0, and that present position changes to
more closely reflect the coordinates stored
in the selected destination.
(g) If the mission will continue, select a new
steerpoint and proceed.
(2) Indicated air speed is 5 knots or less.

(3) Selection of the 9UPDT9 mode on the mode
select switch deletes automatic TACAN updating during the period of the manual update.

DISPLAY SYSTEM.

NAVIGATION

INSTRUMENT

The instrument display system provides displays for
navigation and command signals on a vertical situation indicator (VSI) and a horizontal situation indicator (HSI) for
pilot visual reference. The system consists of the two VSIs
and two HSIs on the instrument panel. The system has a

3-63

TM 1-1520-237-10

common command instrument system processor (CISP),
two HSI/VSI mode select panels, and one CIS mode select
panel.
3.25.1 Vertical Situation Indicator. The VSI (Figure
3-30), provides a cockpit display of the helicopter’s pitch,
roll attitude, turn rate, slip or skid, and certain navigational
information. It accepts command instrument system processor signals and displays the flight command information
needed to arrive at a predetermined point. The system also
monitors and displays warnings when selected navigation
instrument readings lack reliability. The VSI is composed
of a miniature airplane, four warning indicator flags ATT,
GS, NAV and CMD, two trim knobs ROLL and PITCH,
a bank angle scale, a bank angle index on the spheroid, a
turn rate indicator and inclinometer, pitch and roll command bars, collective position pointer, a course deviation
pointer, and a glide slope deviation pointer. Refer to Chapter 2, Section XIV for a description of the attitude indicating system, and turn and slip indicator. The gyro erect
switch (Figure 2-8) supplies a fast erect signal to the pilot
and copilot displacement gyros, thereby considerably reducing the time required for the gyros to reach full operating RPM. The pilot and copilot’s displacement gyros supply pitch and roll attitude signals to the vertical situation
indicators, automatic flight control system, and the Doppler
navigation system. Power to operate the VSI is provided
from the No. 2 ac primary bus through circuit breakers
marked VSI PLT, CPLT.
3.25.1.1 Steering Command Bars and Pointer. The
roll and pitch command bars and the collective position
pointer operate in conjunction with the command instrument system processor (CISP) and the command instrument system/mode selector (CIS MODE SEL). Selection
of HDG on the CIS MODE SEL panel provides a display
of a roll signal by the roll command bar (Figure 3-30). The
pitch command bar and the collective position pointer are
out of view, and the CMD flag is held from view. Selecting
the CIS MODE SEL switch NAV and the MODE SEL
switch VOR ILS, the roll command bar will display roll
commands from the CISP. If an ILS (LOC) frequency is
tuned in, the pitch command bar and the collective command pointer will also display CISP signals. If a VOR frequency is tuned-in, the pitch command bar and collective
position pointer will be held from view. The CMD warning
flag will be held from view, indicating that the CISP functional integrity is being monitored. Refer to Figure 3-32 for
VSI indications in other switch positions.
3.25.1.2 Command Warning Flag. The command
warning flag marked CMD is at the top left of the VSI face
(Figure 3-30). It is held from view when initial power is
applied to the CIS processor. When any CIS mode selector

3-64

switch is on, and that navigation system operating properly,
the CMD flag is not in view. During operation, if the navigation signal becomes unreliable, or is lost, the CMD flag
will become visible. On helicopters equipped with digital
CIS processor the CMD flag will not come into view when
the navigation signal becomes unreliable or lost. The NAV
flag will come into view when the navigation signal becomes unreliable even with the digital CIS.
3.25.1.3 Glide Slope Warning Flag. A glide slope
warning flag marked GS is on the right face of the indicator
(Figure 3-30). The letters GS are black on a red/white stripe
background. The warning flag will move out of view when
the ILS receivers are operating and reliable signals are received.
3.25.1.4 Navigation Warning Flag. A navigation flag
marked NAV is installed on both the VSIs and the HSIs
(Figures 3-30 and 3-31) to indicate when navigation systems are operating and reliable signals are being received.
The VSI NAV flag is marked NAV with a white background and red strips, and is on the lower left side of the
indicator. The HSI NAV flag is within the compass card
ring. Both instrument flags will retract from view whenever
a navigation receiver is on and a reliable signal is being
received.
3.25.1.5 Course Deviation Pointer. The course deviation pointer is on the VSI instrument (Figure 3-30). The
pointer works with the course bar on the HSI to provide the
pilot with an indication of the helicopter’s position with
respect to the course selected on the HSI. The scales represent right or left off course, each dot from center (on
course) is 1.25° for ILS, 5° VOR and FM. The pilot must
fly into the needle to regain on-course track.
3.25.1.6 Glide Slope Deviation Pointer. The glide
slope pointer, on the right side of the VSI (Figure 3-30), is
used with ILS. The pointer represents the glide slope position with respect to the helicopter. Each side of the on-glide
slope (center) mark are dots, each dot representing .25°
above or below the glide slope.
3.25.1.7 Controls and Indicators. Indicators of the
VSI are on the face of the instrument. The function of each

3.25.4.2 Off Mode. The command instrument system off
mode (no switch legends lit) causes the cyclic roll, cyclic
pitch and collective command pointers on both vertical
situation indicators to be stowed out of view and the command warning flag on both VSIs to be biased out of view.
The CISP is in the off mode upon initial application of
electrical power, before the pilot selects either HDG, NAV
or ALT mode on the CIS mode selector. When NAV mode
is selected, the CISP remains in the off mode unless the
DPLR, DPLR/GPS, VOR ILS or FM HOME navigation
data has been selected on the pilot’s VSI/HSI mode selector. The CISP will return to the off mode whenever the
HDG, NAV, and ALT hold modes are disengaged, as indicated by the respective ON legends going off, or by turning off the associated navigation receiver. Separate modes
are manually disengaged by pressing the mode switch when
ON is lit.
3.25.4.3 Heading Mode. The heading mode processes
the heading error and roll attitude signals to supply a limited cyclic roll command, which, when followed, causes the
helicopter to acquire and track the heading manually selected on either pilot’s HSI. The processed signal causes
the VSI cyclic roll command bar to deflect in the direction
of the required control response; i.e., bar deflection to the
right indicates a coordinated right turn is required. When
properly followed, the command results in not more than
one overshoot in acquiring the selected heading and a
tracking error of not more than 2°. The processor gain provides 1° of roll command for each degree of heading error

TM 1-1520-237-10

up to a roll command limit of approximately 20°. The CISP
heading mode is engaged by momentarily pressing the
HDG switch on the pilot’s CIS mode selector, or as described in paragraph 3.25.4.5.
3.25.4.4 Altitude Hold Mode. The altitude hold mode
processes barometric pressure signals from the air data
transducer in addition to the collective stick position signal.
When the ALT switch on the pilot’s CIS mode selector is
pressed, the CISP provides collective command signals,
which, when properly followed, cause the helicopter to
maintain altitude to within plus or minus 50 feet. The altitude hold mode synchronizes on the engagement altitude
for vertical rates up to 200 feet per minute and provides
performance for altitude inputs between -1000 and +10,000
feet at airspeeds from 70 to 150 KIAS. It is possible to
engage the altitude hold mode, regardless of whether the
heading mode or navigation mode is engaged, except that
the CISP logic prevents manual selection of the altitude
hold mode whenever the NAV mode is engaged and an ILS
frequency is selected. This prevents the operator from selecting altitude hold mode during an instrument approach.
The altitude hold mode is manually engaged by pressing
the ALT hold switch (subject to above restriction) or automatically engaged as described in paragraph 3.25.4.7. The
altitude hold mode may be manually disengaged by pressing the ALT hold switch when the ON legend is lit. Altitude hold may be disengaged also by selecting any other
mode which takes priority (e.g., Go Around).
NOTE
ALT hold mode should be manually disabled during localizer, localizer backcourse,
VOR, and ADF approaches.
3.25.4.5 Navigation Mode. The CISP navigation mode
is engaged by pressing the NAV switch on the CIS Mode
Selector. This navigation mode causes the CISP to enter the
VOR NAV, ILS NAV, DPLR NAV, or FM HOME mode
as selected on the pilot’s VSI/HSI mode selector. The CISP
provides steering commands based on the course selected
on either the pilot’s or copilot’s HSI dependent on the mode
select CRS HDG selection of PLT or CPLT.
3.25.4.6 VOR NAV Mode. The VOR NAV mode is established by selecting the VOR/ILS switch on the VSI/HSI
mode selector and pressing the NAV switch on the CIS
mode selector. The CISP processes the heading and course
signals derived from either the pilot’s or the copilot’s HSI
in addition to the lateral deviation and lateral flag signals
applied to the pilot’s VSI. The CISP provides a limited
cyclic roll command, which, when followed, shall cause the
helicopter to acquire and track the course setting manually

selected on the HSI. Engagement of the VOR NAV when
the helicopter position is in excess of 10° to 20° from the
selected radial will cause the initial course intersection to
be made in the heading mode as described in paragraph
3.25.4.3. The CISP logic will light the CIS mode selector
HDG switch ON legend during the initial course intersection. When the helicopter is within 10° to 20° of the selected course, the CISP beam sensor will capture the VOR
lateral beam. The processor logic will turn off the HDG
switch ON legend and the final course interception, about
45°, acquisition, and tracking will be based on the VOR
lateral deviation signals. The processor causes the roll command pointer to deflect in the direction of the required control response. When properly followed, the command will
result in not more than one overshoot at a range of 10 NM
at a cruise speed of 100 6 10 knots, and not more than two
overshoots at ranges between 5 and 40 NM at speeds from
70 to 140 knots. When passing over the VOR station, the
CISP reverts to a station passage submode and remains in
this submode for 30 seconds. Cyclic roll commands during
the station passage submode will be obtained from the HSI
course datum signal. Outbound course changes may be
implemented by the HSI CRS SET knob during the station
passage submode. Course changes to a new radial, or identification of VOR intersections may be made before station
passage by setting the HSI HDG control to the present
heading and actuating the HDG switch. This will disengage
the NAV mode and allow the pilot to continue on the original radial in the heading mode. A VOR intersection fix or
selection of a new radial course may be made without affecting the CIS steering commands. Actuating the NAV
switch re-engages the VOR NAV mode to either continue
on the original VOR radial or to initiate an intercept to the
new selected radial.
3.25.4.7 ILS NAV Mode. The instrument landing system NAV mode is established by selecting the VOR/ILS
switch on the VSI/HSI mode selector, tuning a localizer
frequency on the navigation receiver and selecting the NAV
switch on the pilot’s CIS MODE SEL panel. During the
ILS NAV mode the CISP processes the following signals
in addition to those processed during the VOR NAV mode:
1. The vertical deviation and vertical flag signals, 2. the
indicated airspeed (IAS) and barometric altitude signals,
and 3. the collective stick position sensor and helicopter
pitch attitude signals. The indicated airspeed and pitch attitude signals are processed to provide a limited cyclic pitch
command, which, when properly followed, will result in
maintaining an airspeed that should not deviate more than 5
knots from the IAS existing at the time the ILS NAV mode
is engaged. The pitch command bar will deflect in the direction of the required aircraft response, i.e., an upward
deflection of the pitch bar indicates a pitch up is required.
The BAR ALT and collective stick position signals are pro-

Change 5

3-71

TM 1-1520-237-10

cessed to provide a limited collective position indication,
which, when properly followed, will cause the helicopter to
maintain the altitude existing at the time the ILS NAV
mode is engaged. The collective position indicator will deflect in the opposite direction of the required control response, i.e., an upward deflection of the collective position
indicator indicates a descent is required. The CISP will
cause the ALT hold switch ON legend to light whenever
the altitude hold mode is engaged. Actuating the ALT hold
ON switch will disengage the altitude hold mode. Desired
approach runway course must be set on the CRS window
of the HSI selected by the PLT/CPLT indication of the
CRS HDG switch. The initial course intersection and the
localizer course interception, about 45°, acquisition, and
tracking will be done as described for the VOR NAV mode
except that not more than one overshoot at a range of 10
NM at 100 6 10 KIAS, and not more than two overshoots
at ranges between 5 and 20 NM should occur for airspeeds
between 70 and 130 KIAS.
3.25.4.8 Approach Mode. The approach mode, a submode of the ILS NAV mode, will be automatically engaged when the helicopter captures the glide slope. During
the approach mode, the CISP processes the vertical deviation, GS flag, and collective stick position signals to provide a limited collective position indicator, which, when
properly followed, shall cause the helicopter to acquire and
track the glide slope path during an approach to landing.
When the glide slope is intercepted, the CISP logic disengages the altitude hold mode and causes the ON legend of
the ALT hold switch to go off. The CISP will provide a
down movement of the collective position indicator to advise the pilot of the transition from altitude hold to glide
slope tracking, and to assist in acquiring the glide slope
path. The cyclic roll commands are limited to 6 15° during
the approach submode. When properly followed, the roll
commands will result in the helicopter tracking the localizer to an approach. The collective position indicator, when
properly followed, will result in not more than one overshoot in acquiring the glidepath and have a glidepath tracking free of oscillations. The cyclic roll and collective steering performance is applicable for approach airspeed from
130 KIAS down to 50 KIAS.
3.25.4.9 BACK CRS Mode. The back course mode is a
submode of the ILS NAV mode and is engaged by concurrent ILS ON and BACK CRS ON signal from the pilot’s
HSI/VSI mode selector. The CISP monitors the localizer
lateral deviation signals to provide cyclic roll commands,
which, when properly followed, will allow the pilots to
complete back course localizer approach in the same manner as the front course ILS. The desired final approach
course should be set on the selected HSI CRS window.

3-72

Change 5

3.25.4.10 Level-Off Mode. The level-off mode will be
activated when either the VOR NAV or ILS NAV modes
are engaged, and will be deactivated by selection of another
mode or when a radar altitude valid signal is not present.
The level-off mode is not a function of a VOR or ILS CIS
approach. During ILS or VOR approaches, the barometric
altimeter must be used to determine arrival at the minimum
altitude. Radar altimeter setting shall not be used for level
off commands in the VOR NAV/ILS NAV modes because
variations in terrain cause erroneous altitude indications.
The level-off mode provides the pilots with a selectable low
altitude command. This mode is automatically engaged
when the radar altitude goes below either the pilot’s or
copilot’s radar altimeter low altitude warning bug setting,
whichever is at the higher setting. A DH legend on the VSI
and a LO light display on the radar altimeter indicator goes
on whenever the radar altitude is less than the LO bug
setting. The CISP monitors the radar altimeter and the collective stick position sensor to provide a collective pointer
command, which, when properly followed, will cause the
helicopter to maintain an altitude within 10 feet of the low
altitude setting for settings below 250 feet, and 20 feet for
settings above 250 feet. The CISP causes the ALT switch
ON legend to light and the altitude hold mode to be engaged.
3.25.4.11 Go-Around Mode. The go-around mode processes roll and pitch attitude, altitude rate, collective stick
position, and airspeed inputs in addition to internally generated airspeed and vertical speed command signals to provide cyclic roll, cyclic pitch and collective position indication. The go-around mode will engage when either pilot
presses the GA (Go Around) switch on his cyclic control
grip. When the go-around mode is engaged, the CISP immediately provides a collective position indication, which,
when followed, will result in a 500 6 50 fpm rate-of-climb
at zero bank angle. Five seconds after the GA switch is
pressed, the CISP will provide cyclic pitch bar commands,
which, when followed, will result in an 80-KIAS for the
climbout. The go-around mode is disengaged by changing
to any other mode on the pilot’s CIS mode selector.
3.25.4.12 Doppler, Doppler/GPS Mode. The Doppler, Doppler/GPS navigation mode is engaged by selecting
the DPLR, DPLR/GPS switch on the VSI/HSI mode selector and the NAV switch on the CIS mode selector. Doppler and GPS combined navigation is the default setting on
the AN/ASN-128B, but Doppler only or GPS only navigation can be selected from the DLPR/GPS CDU GPS .
During the Doppler, Doppler/GPS navigation mode, the
CISP processes Doppler, Doppler/GPS track angle error
and the Doppler, Doppler/GPS NAV flag signals in addition to the roll angle input from the attitude gyro. The CISP

TM 1-1520-237-10

provides cyclic roll bar commands, which, when followed,
result in a straight line, wind-corrected, flight over distances

greater than 0.2 kilometer from the destination. The course

Change 5

3-72.1/(3-72.2 Blank)

TM 1-1520-237-10

deviation bar and course deviation pointer provide a visual
display of where the initial course lies in relationship to the
helicopter’s position. The initial course is the course the
Doppler, Doppler/GPS computes from the helicopter’s position to the destination at the time the fly to destination
thumbwheel is rotated (or entered from the keyboard). The
VSI and HSI course sensitivity is 61000 meters when farther than 12 km from the fly-to destination. Course sensitivity gradually scales down from 61000 meters at 12 km
to 6200 meters at 2 km and less from the fly-to destination.
To achieve a pictorially correct view of the course, rotate
the course knob to the head of the No. 1 needle when the
fly to destination thumbwheel is rotated (or entered from
the keyboard). The DPLR, DPLR/GPS NAV logic detects
the condition of station passover, and automatically
switches to heading mode. The switch to heading mode will
be indicated by the HDG switch ON legend being turned
on, and the NAV switch ON legend being turned off. The
Doppler, Doppler/GPS navigation mode will not automatically re-engage, but will require manual re-engagement of
the NAV switch on the CIS mode selector.
3.25.4.13 FM HOME Mode. The FM homing (Figure
3-32) is engaged by selecting the FM HOME switch on the
pilot’s VSI/HSI mode selector and the NAV switch on the
pilot’s CIS mode selector. Selecting FM homing on the
VSI/HSI mode selector directs FM homing signals only to
the VSI. Other NAV modes will be retained on the HSI if
previously selected. During the FM HOME mode, the
CISP processes the lateral deviation and flag signals displayed on the pilot’s VSI in addition to the roll angle input
from the attitude gyro. The CISP filters and dampens the
FM homing deviation signals and provides cyclic roll commands to aid the pilot in homing on a radio station selected
on the No. 1 VHF-FM communications receiver. When
properly followed, the roll commands result in not more
than two overshoot heading changes before maintaining a
tracking error not to go over 3°. The CISP will revert to the
heading mode whenever the lateral deviation rate is over
1.5°/ sec for a period of over 1 second. The CISP will cause
the CIS mode selector HDG switch ON legend to light, and
remain in the heading mode until the FM mode or some
other mode is manually selected. Concurrent VOR and FM
or concurrent DPLR and FM mode inputs will be considered an FM mode input to the CISP.
3.25.4.14 TURN RATE Select. The turn rate gyro selection provides each pilot the option of having his VSI
display his own turn rate gyro signal (NORM operation) or
of having the other pilot’s turn rate gyro signal displayed
(ALTR operation). The turn rate gyro selection is independent of the navigation modes selected by the top row of
switches and is independent of which turn rate gyro the
other pilot has selected. The NORM selection connects

each pilot’s VSI to his own turn rate gyro. The selection of
NORM or ALTR operation is indicated by lighting the
respective legend on the TURN RATE selector switch.
The lamp power to the indicator legends is controlled
through a relay so that the NORM legend is lit in case the
mode selector logic or lamp drivers fail. Sequential operation of the TURN RATE switch alternates the rate gyro
connected to the VSI.
3.25.4.15 CRS HDG Select. The CRS HDG switch on
the mode selector provides for either the pilot’s or the copilot’s course selector (CRS) to be connected to the navigation receiver, and for concurrent connection of the same
pilot’s HSI course and heading information to the command instrument system processor. The CRS resolver is
normally connected to the pilot’s HSI until selected by the
copilot on his mode selector. CRS HDG control is transferred by pressing the CRS HDG switch. The pilot having
the CRS HDG control is indicated by lighting of either the
PLT or the CPLT legend on each mode selector. When
power is first applied to the mode selector, the pilot’s position is automatically selected. The CRS HDG selection is
independent of the navigation modes selected by the top
row of switches.
3.25.4.16 VERT GYRO Select. The vertical gyro selection provides each pilot the option of having his VSI
display his own vertical gyro attitude (NORM operation),
or of having the other pilot’s vertical gyro attitude displayed (ALTR operation). The vertical gyro selection is
independent of the navigation modes selected by the top
row of switches and is independent of which vertical gyro
the other pilot has selected. Each pilot’s VSI is normally
connected to his own vertical gyro. The selection of
NORM or ALTR operation is indicated by lighting the
respective legend on the VERT GYRO selector switch.
The lamp power to the indicator legends is controlled
through a relay so that the NORM legend is lit in case the
mode selector logic or lamp drivers fail. Sequential operation of the VERT GYRO switch alternates the vertical
gyro connected to the VSI.
3.25.4.17 No. 2 Bearing Select. The HSI number 2
bearing pointer selection allows the option of either the
LF/ADF bearing or the VOR bearing to a selected station.
The ADF/VOR selection is independent of the navigation
modes selected by the top row of switches, and either pilot
selects ADF or VOR, independent of the other pilot’s selection. The number 2 bearing pointer is normally connected to the LF/ADF bearing output. The selection of either ADF or VOR bearing is indicated by lighting of the
respective legend on the selector switch. The lamp power to
the indicator legends is controlled through a relay, so that
the ADF legend is lit in case the mode selector logic or

Section IV TRANSPONDER AND RADAR
3.26 TRANSPONDER AN/APX-100(V)1 (IFF).
The transponder set (Figure 3-33) provides automatic
radar identification of the helicopter to all suitably equipped
challenging aircraft and surface or ground facilities within
the operating range of the system. AN/APX-100(V) receives, decodes, and responds to the characteristic interrogations of operational modes 1, 2, 3/A, C, and 4. Specially
coded identification of position (IP) and emergency signals
may be transmitted to interrogating stations when conditions warrant. The transceiver can be operated in any one of
four master modes, each of which may be selected by the
operator at the control panel. Five independent coding
modes are available to the operator. The first three modes
may be used independently or in combination. Mode 1 provides 32 possible code combinations, any one of which
may be selected in flight. Mode 2 provides 4096 possible
code combinations, but only one is available and is normally preset before takeoff. Mode 3/A provides 4096 possible codes, any one of which may be selected in flight.
Mode C will indicate pressure altitude of the helicopter
when interrogated. Mode C is only available if both mode
3/A and mode C switches are placed to the ON position.
Mode 4 is the secure mode of cooperative combat identification, IFF operational codes are installed, the current period’s code and either the previous or the next period’s
code. Power to operate the IFF system is provided from the
No. 1 dc primary bus through a circuit breaker marked IFF.
Refer to TM 11-5895-1199-12 and 11-5895-1037-12.

3.27 TRANSPONDER COMPUTER KIT-1A/TSEC.
The transponder computer in the nose section of the helicopter operates in conjunction with mode 4. A caution
light on the caution panel, marked IFF, will go on when a
malfunction occurs in mode 4 or the computer that will
prevent a reply when interrogated. Mode 4 operation is
selected by placing the MODE 4 switch ON, provided the
MASTER switch is at NORM. Placing the MODE 4
switch to OUT disables mode 4. MODE 4 CODE switch
is placarded ZERO, B, A, and HOLD. The switch must be
lifted over a detent to switch to ZERO. It is spring-loaded
to return from HOLD to the A position. Position A selects
the mode 4 code for the previous, present, or next period
depending on which crypto period applies and position B
selects the mode 4 code for previous, present, or next period depending on which crypto period applies. Both codes
are mechanically inserted by a code-changing key. The
codes are mechanically held in the transponder computer,
regardless of the position of the MASTER switch or the
status of helicopter power, until the first time the helicopter
becomes airborne. Thereafter, the mode 4 codes will automatically zeroize any time the MASTER switch or helicopter power is turned off. The code setting can be mechanically retained. With weight on the landing gear, turn
the MODE 4 CODE switch to HOLD (only momentary
actuation is required) and release. Mode 4 codes can be
zeroized any time the helicopter power is on and the MASTER switch is not in OFF, by turning the CODE switch to

MASTER control switch - EMER.
3.26.4 Stopping Procedure. MASTER switch - OFF.

The radar altimeter set (Figure 3-34) provides instantaneous indication of actual terrain clearance height. Altitude,
in feet, is displayed on two radar altimeter indicators on the
instrument panel in front of the pilot and copilot. The radar
altimeter indicators each contain a pointer that indicates
altitude on a linear scale from 0 to 200 feet (10 feet per
unit) and a second-linear scale from 200 to 1500 feet (100
feet per unit). An on/OFF/LO altitude bug set knob, on the
lower left corner of each indicator, combines functions to
serve as a low level warning bug set control, and an on/
OFF power switch. The system is turned on by turning the

3.29.1 Antennas. Two identical radar altimeter antennas (Figure 3-1) are on the cockpit section under the avionics compartment. One is for the transmitter and the other
is for the receiver. The antennas are flush-mounted in the
fuselage on the bottom of the helicopter.
3.29.2 Controls or Indicator Function. Control of the
radar altimeter set is provided by the LOW SET OFF knob
on the front of the height indicator. The knob, marked HI
SET, also controls the PUSH TO TEST (Figure 3-34).

LO control knob, marked SET, of either indicator, clockwise from OFF. Continued clockwise turning of the control
knob will permit either pilot to select any desired lowaltitude limit, as indicated by the LO altitude bug. Whenever the altitude pointer exceeds low-altitude set limit, the
LO altitude warning light will go on. Pressing the PUSHTO-TEST HI SET control provides a testing feature of the
system at any time and altitude. When the PUSH-TOTEST control knob is pressed, a reading between 900 feet
and 1100 feet on the indicator, and a reading between 900
and 1100 feet on the digital display, and the OFF flag
removed from view, indicates satisfactory system operation. Releasing the PUSH-TO-TEST SET control knob
restores the system to normal operation. A low-altitude
warning light, on the center left of the indicator, will light
to show the word LO any time the helicopter is at or below
the altitude limit selected by the low altitude bug. Each
pilot may individually select a low-altitude limit and only
his LO light will go on when the low-altitude is reached or
exceeded. Loss of system power will be indicated by the
indicator pointer moving behind the dial mask and the OFF
flag appearing in the center of the instrument. If the system
should become unreliable, the flag will appear and the indicator pointer will go behind the dial mask, to prevent the
pilot from obtaining erroneous readings. Flight operations
above 1600 feet do not require that the system be turned
off. The pointer will go behind the dial mask but the transmitter will be operating. Power to operate the AN/APN-209
is supplied from the No. 1 dc primary through circuit
breakers, marked RDR ALTM.

Two signals are provided by the radar altimeter to the
AN/ALQ-151(V)2 mission equipment. RADAR ALTIMETER ON indicates the altimeter is installed and has power
applied. If this signal is not present, and the ECM antenna
is not fully retracted, a signal is generated to light the ANTENNA EXTENDED capsule on the CAUTION/
ADVISORY panel. The other signal, RADAR ALTITUDE LOW, is sent to the mission equipment when the
aircraft altitude drops below the LO bug setting of the radar
altimeter. The signal initiates automatic retraction of the
ECM antenna, lights the ANTENNA EXTENDED capsule
until the antenna is fully retracted, and disables the ECM
ANTENNA switch.

4.1 TROOP COMMANDER’S ANTENNA.
The troop commander’s antenna (Figure 3-1), on the upper trailing edge of the tail rotor pylon, provides for use of
a VHF/FM mobile/man pack radio, such as the AN/PRC-25
or AN/PRC-77, from the cabin area. The antenna gives the
troop commander the capability of liaison, command, and
control of ground elements. A coaxial cable, coiled in the
cabin ceiling near the left cabin door, is for connecting the
antenna to the radio set.
4.2 CREW CALL SWITCH/INDICATOR.

EH

The CREW CALL switch/indicators are on the instrument panel (Figure 4-1) and in the cabin at the DF and
ECM consoles. The switches are used to provide signals
between crew members to indicate communication is desired, and establishing ICS circuits between cockpit and
cabin. When the pilot/copilot’s CREW CALL switch is
pressed in, it lights steady. This allows only one-way communication, from pilot/ copilot to mission equipment operator(s). All stations desiring to communicate must then place
their respective intercom switches to ICS. To establish twoor three-way communications, the flashing switches must
be pressed in. The pilot’s ICS audio overrides all other
mission equipment operator’s audio. To establish communication from mission equipment operator(s) to pilot/
copilot, the DF and/or ECM operator must press in their
respective CREW CALL switch. The DF and/or ECM operator(s) CREW CALL switch(es) will light steady. The
pilot/copilot’s CREW CALL light flashes. When the pilot/
copilot’s CREW CALL switch is pressed in, the switch
lights steady, and communications can then be established.
In establishing communications, the first CREW CALL
switch pressed will light steady, all others will flash until
pressed in. To terminate two-way communication, the pilot/
copilot and mission equipment operator(s) must press the
respective CREW CALL switch(es), causing all indicators

theater switch on the processor.
c. In the self-test, four patterns will be displayed in sequence (Figure 4-3) on the display MA. Pattern number
one alphanumerics displayed will depend on the selected
theater position on the processor.
d. Observe that the radar signal indicator unit displays
patterns 1-3 and finally, either the NO signal pattern or an
actual threat pattern (Figure 4-3). As each of the first three
patterns are displayed, a different type audio tone will flash
on and off during the display of pattern number 3.
e. An 9H9 symbol will appear in the center of the NO
signal pattern if the control unit HI ALT/LOW switch is in
the HI ALT mode. Conversely, an 9L9 symbol will appear
in place of the 9H9 symbol if this switch is in the LOW

(2) The CRT (Figure 4-6) will display specific
software version numbers i.e., operational
flight program (OFP) at the 12 o’clock position and the emitter identification data
(EID) at the 6 o’clock position.
(3) After the software version numbers have
been displayed the test sequence checks the
receivers. A good visual self test will show
two triangles, one at the 6 o’clock and one
at 12 o’clock position on the CRT (Figure
4-6.1). Snowflake symbols (*) will appear
at the 2, 4, 8, and 10 o’clock positions and
will flash if the AN/AVR-2 laser detecting
set is not installed. This is a normal indication and does not effect system performance.
(4) A good self test (no faults detected) ends
with the message 9APR-39 OPERATIONAL9. A bad self test (faults detected)
ends with the 9APR-39 FAILURE9.
b. MODE ONE operation. Selecting MODE
ONE the operator will hear all the normal synthetic voice audio when an emitter has been
processed e. g., the AN/APR-39A(V)1 will announce; 9SA, S-18 12 O’CLOCK TRACKING9. Selection of this mode does not have any
effect on emitters received, processed or displayed, it only affects synthetic voice audio.
c. MODE TWO operation. Selecting MODE
TWO the operator will hear an abbreviated
synthetic voice audio e. g., the AN/APR39A(V)1 will announce; 9MISSILE 12
O’CLOCK TRACKING9.
4.7.3 Function.
a. The radar signal detecting set (RSDS) receives,
processes and displays pulse type signals operating in the C-D and H-M radio frequency
bands. The emitters that it processes and displays are derived from the EID contained in the
user data module (UDM) that is inserted in the
top of the digital processor. In normal circumstances the processor is classified confidential if
a classified UDM is installed.
b. The UDM contains the electronic warfare threat
data that makes up the specific library for a
specific mission(s) or a geographical location
(it is theaterized). When a match of the elec-

tronic warfare data occurs the processor generates the appropriate threat symbology and synthetic audio. It is important therefore that the
correct theaterized EID and UDM are installed
for the mission or geographic location.
c. Symbol generation and position relative to the
center of the CRT shows the threat lethality, it
does not show or represent any lethality of
range, but of condition/mode of the emitter.
Highest priority threats (most lethal) are shown
nearest the center. Each symbol defines a generic threat type, symbols are modified to show
change in the status of the emitter. The symbols
are unclassified, the definitions of what the
symbols mean are classified. The complete set
of symbols and definitions are contained in TM
11-5841-294-30-2. Each theaterized library
EID has a specific classified pilot kneeboard
produced with it. The unit electronic warfare
officer (EWO) should contact PM-ASE if sufficient cards are not available within his unit for
the installed EID.

4.8 INFRARED COUNTERMEASURE SET AN/ALQ144A(V)1.

WARNING
Do not continuously look at the infrared
countermeasure transmitter (Figure 4-1)
during operation, or for a period of over 1
minute from a distance of less than 3 feet.
Skin exposure to countermeasure radiation for longer than 10 seconds at a distance less than 4 inches shall be avoided.
Ensure the countermeasure set is cooled
off before touching the unit.

Figure 4-6.1. CRT Self Test Display

CAUTION

Observe that the IRCM INOP caution
light illuminates when the OCU ON/OFF
switch is set to OFF. After 60 seconds, observe that the IRCM INOP caution light
extinguishes.
The countermeasure system provides infrared countermeasure capability. The system transmits radiation modulated mechanically at high and low frequencies using an
electrically-heated source. A built-in test feature monitors
system operation and alerts the pilot should a malfunction
occur. The system is made up of a control panel on the
instrument panel and a transmitter on top of the main rotor
pylon aft of the main rotor. On helicopters Serial No. 7822987 and subsequent, the countermeasure system functionally interfaces with the caution/advisory warning system through the left relay panel. The countermeasure
system gets dc electrical power from the No. 2 dc primary

circuit breaker panel and the No. 2 junction box. The 28
vdc is routed through the IRCM PWR circuit breaker in
the No. 2 junction box to the transmitter. The No. 2 dc
primary bus also supplies 28 vdc through the IRCM
CONTR circuit breaker on the No. 2 dc primary circuit
breaker panel to the control unit. Panel lighting of the control unit is controlled by the INSTR LTS NON FLT control on the upper console. When the control unit ON-OFF
switch is placed ON, the power distribution and control
circuits are activated and the ON lamp is lit for about 60
seconds on helicopters prior to Serial No. 78-22987. The
source begins to heat, the servo motor and drive circuits are
energized, turning on the high and low speed modulators,
and a signal is applied to stabilize system operations before
energizing the built-in test function. After a warmup period
the stabilizing signal is removed, and the system operates
normally. Placing the ON-OFF control switch momentarily
to OFF causes the power distribution and control circuits to
de-energize the source and initiates a cooldown period.
During the cooldown period, the servo motor drive circuits
remain in operation, applying power to the motors that
cause the modulators to continue turning. The INOP light
will remain on during cooldown cycle, and on helicopters
Serial No. 78-22987 and subsequent, the IRCM INOP caution light will be lit. After the cooldown period, the power
distribution and control circuits de-energize, all system operating voltage is removed and the IRCM INOP caution
light, or the INOP light, will go off. On helicopters prior to
Serial No. 78-22987, if a malfunction occurs during system
operation, the INOP light on the control unit will go on and
the cooldown period will automatically begin. On helicopters Serial No. 78-22987 and subsequent, if a system malfunction causes the IRCM INOP caution light on the caution panel to go on, the IRCM INOP caution light will
remain lit until the control panel ON-OFF switch is momentarily placed OFF. The system can be returned to operating mode by momentarily placing ON-OFF switch
OFF, then ON, provided the cause of the malfunction has
cleared. For additional information, refer to TM 11-5865200-12.

4.9 ECM ANTENNA SWITCH.

EH

The ECM antenna switch is a three-position switch on
the instrument panel (Figure 2-9), providing control of
ECM antenna deployment and retraction. The switch is
spring-loaded to center (OFF), with positions marked EXTEND and RETRACT. Normal operation of the switch is
as follows:

CAUTION

The ECM antenna can be extended with
the helicopter on the ground if the radar
altimeter is turned off or removed from
the installation, or the L (LO SET) indicator is set below the radar altimeter indication.
a. Extend. When the helicopter is on the ground with all
systems working properly and the radar altimeter L (LO
SET) indicator is set above the radar altimeter indication,
the antenna cannot be extended because of the interlock
system. When the helicopter is in flight, with the copilot’s
radar altimeter indication above the L (LO SET) indicator,
the antenna can be extended until it reaches the fully extended position, by momentarily placing the switch to EXTEND. Once the extension or retraction process has started,
it cannot be overridden with another command from the
ECM ANTENNA switch. The cycle can be interrupted by
turning off the radar altimeter or setting L SET bug above
radar altitude indication. When the antenna is fully extended, a light on the ECM operator’s console marked AN-

TENNA DEPLOYED, will go on. The ANTENNA EXTENDED caution light on the caution/advisory panel will
not go on when the antenna is extended. It is a condition
light rather than an antenna position light.
NOTE
Automatic ECM antenna retraction is controlled by the copilot’s radar altimeter L (LO
SET) indicator when the altimeter is turned
on.
b. Retract. If the antenna is extended, the pilot may momentarily select RETRACT to return the antenna to the
retracted position. The antenna will automatically retract if
the helicopter descends below the altimeter L indicator setting or a failure occurs in the radar altimeter. When the
antenna is fully retracted, the ANTENNA RETRACTED
status advisory light on the caution/advisory panel will go
on and remain on as long as the antenna stays in that position. The ANTENNA DEPLOYED and ANTENNA EXTENDED lights should be off with antenna retracted. An
emergency retract switch accessible to the ECM operator
may be used to retract the ECM antenna if a failure occurs
in the cockpit retract system. A light next to the switch
indicates when the antenna is extended.
c. Emergency ECM Antenna Retract Switch. An emergency ECM antenna retract switch on the antenna relay
assembly on the ECM equipment rack, provides a backup
mode of retraction of the antenna if a failure occurs in the
cockpit ECM ANTENNA switch. To retract, the switch
must be held at up until the antenna is fully retracted and
the ANTENNA RETRACTED advisory light is on.

4.10 COUNTERMEASURES SET AN/ALQ-156(V)2.
EH

Countermeasure set AN/ALQ-156(V)2 consists of Receiver Transmitter RT-1220. Control indicator C-10031,
and four each circular horn antenna AS-3650. Antenna locations are illustrated on Figure 3-1. The countermeasures
set provides aircraft protection against infrared-seeking
missiles by detecting valid targets and sending pulses to
flare dispenser M130. Decoy flares are then launched away
from the aircraft. Power to operate the countermeasures set
is taken from the No. 1 dc primary and No. 1 ac primary
buses through circuit breakers located on the copilot’s circuit breaker panel (Figure 2-20).
4.10.1 Basic Principles of Operation. Incoming and
outgoing RF signals are routed between the circular horn
antennas and the receiver transmitter through coaxial
cables. The transmit signal is modulated and amplified in
the receiver transmitter, and routed alternately to forward
and aft antennas. After each pulse transmission, return signals are received by the same antenna used for transmission
and routed to the receiver transmitter for processing. When
an approaching missile is detected, the countermeasures set
sends a pulse to flare dispenser M130. If armed, the flare
dispenser launches a decoy flare to draw the missile away
from the aircraft.

NOTE
Prior to beginning the turn-on procedure, ensure that the push for standby pushbutton is
in the 9out9 position (not depressed).
2. ALQ-156 POWER switch - ON. Observe that
status indicator shows WRMUP, indicating that
receiver transmitter is in warmup mode.
NOTE
The actual length of time that the WRMUP
lamp remains on depends upon a combination of equipment operating status and environmental temperature. Under normal operating conditions, and with air temperature
about 77°F (25°C), WRMUP lamp will go
out in approximately 8 to 10 minutes.
3. Observe that WRMUP lamp goes out, indicating that the receiver transmitter is now in the on
condition.
4. PUSH FOR STANDBY/STATUS pushbutton
- Push once to place the countermeasure set in
standby. Subsequent depressions switch the
countermeasure set alternately from on to
standby.

4.11.1 Basic Principles of Operation. Incoming signals received from SAM and AIM missiles using Continuous Wave (CW) for guidance are validated by the countermeasures set. Depending upon validation results, the system
initiates jamming action and/or warns the crew of approaching missiles. Automatic jamming/warning decisions are determined by warning and jamming thresholds preprogrammed in the system. The countermeasures set may
be used in stand-alone fashion or in conjunction with AN/
APR-39(V)2 Radar Warning Receiver (RWR). The RWR
processes and displays threat information. A Built-In Test
(BIT) automatically and continually tests systems operations. Malfunctions cause a no-go lamp to light in the control unit front panel. The countermeasures set can be structured to counter different threats by programming the
program module assembly in the front of the receiver transmitter. The programming is done before flight by the
ground crew, as the receiver transmitter is not within operator reach.
4.11.2 Controls, Displays, and Functions. Located
in the center of the lower console, Control Unit C-11080
contains controls and indicators necessary for countermeasures set operation. The control unit is described below:

Countermeasures set AN/ALQ-162(V)2 consists of Receiver Transmitter RT-1377, Control Unit C-11080, and
two each antenna AS-3554. Antenna locations are illustrated on Figure 3-1. The countermeasures set provides
warning and protection against surface-to-air (SAM) and
airborne interceptor missiles (AIM). Missile radar signals
are detected by the system, modulated internally, and retransmitted as false, misleading echoes. Power to operate
the countermeasures set is taken from the DC MON and
No. 2 ac primary buses through circuit breakers located on
the pilot’s circuit breaker panel (Figure 2-20), refer to TM

4.12 HEADS UP DISPLAY AN/AVS-7.
Heads up display (HUD) AN/AVS-7; (Figure 4-7) consists of signal data converter CV-4229/AVS-7 (SDC) located in the avionics compartment, the converter control
C-12293/AVS-7 (CCU) located on the lower console, and
the display, SU-180/AVS-7 (DU) consisting of the optical
unit (OU) and power supply calibration unit (PSCU). Two
thermocouple amplifiers are located in the avionics compartment and two HUD control switches are located on the
pilot’s collective sticks. The HUD system serves as an aid
to pilots using the AN/AVS-6 (ANVIS) during night flight
operations by providing operational symbology information
about the aircraft. There are two programming modes and
one operational mode which allow both pilots to independently select the symbology for their respective display
modes from a master set of symbols in the signal data converter. Power to operate the HUD system is provided by the
26V ac essential bus and the 28V dc bus through circuit
breakers marked HUD REF and HUD SYS.
4.12.1 Basic Principles of Operation. The pilots can
independently select from four normal symbology modes
and four declutter modes that were pre-programmed. Declutter mode has four vital symbols that will always be
displayed: Airspeed, Altitude (MSL), Attitude (pitch and
roll), and Engine Torque(s). An adjust mode, during opera-

tion, is used to adjust barometric altitude, pitch, and roll. If
the HUD system loses operating power after adjustments
have been made, the brightness, mode, barometric altitude,
pitch, and roll must be adjusted as necessary. The system
self test is divided into power-up or operator initialized
built-in-test (BIT) and in-flight BIT. The system BIT is
initialized during power-up or selected by the operator. Part
of the BIT is a periodic test that is performed automatically
along with normal system operation. A failure of the SDC,
or the pilot’s DU will illuminate the CCU FAIL light and
display a FAIL message on the display unit. When a FAIL
message is displayed on the DU, the operator should acknowledge the failure and re-run BIT to confirm the fault.
4.12.2 Controls and Functions. The CCU, located on
the lower console, (Figures 2-8 and 4-7), and the control
switches on the pilot’s collective stick (Figure 2-14) are
controls and indicators necessary for HUD operation. The
EYE SELECT L/R position is set when display units are
connected prior to operation. A focus ring on the OU provides control for focusing the display. The OU is adjusted
by the manufacturer and under normal conditions adjustment is not required.

DU is suspected of being incorrect the pilot’s will compare the data with the aircraft instrument indicator and take the
appropriate action.
Excessive brightness of the symbology display may impair vision outside the cockpit.
Interruption of electrical power, such as
change over from APU generator to NO.
1 and NO. 2 generators and vice versa,
will cause DU to default to dim and
MODE 1N. Any adjustments made to the
barometric altitude, pitch and roll prior
to flight will be lost, thereby decreasing
the accuracy of the barometric altitude,
pitch and roll.
1. BRT/DIM switch - As desired.
NOTE
Whenever the symbology is interfering with
the outside visibility, decluttering may be
selected to remove symbology.
2. MODE 1-4/DCLT switch - As desired.

Do not attempt to egress the aircraft without performing disconnect as this may result in neck injury.

CAUTION

Do not disconnect DU by pulling on the
cable. To do so may damage the DU.
3. Display unit - Disconnect. Disconnect DU by
grasping the PSCU and rotating the quickrelease connector engagement ring and pull
downward. Remove OU and remove from the
ANVIS and place into storage case.
4. Reattach neck cord to ANVIS.

Section II ARMAMENT
4.14 ARMAMENT SUBSYSTEM.
The subsystem is pintle-mounted in each gunner’s window at the forward end of the cabin section (Figure 4-11).
The two M60D 7.62 millimeter machineguns are freepointing but limited in traverse, elevation, and depression
field of fire. Spent cartridges are collected by an ejector
control bag on the right side of the weapon. An ammunition
can assembly is on the left side, refer to TM 9-1005-22410. For information on the gun mount, refer to TM 9-1005262-13.
4.15 MACHINEGUN 7.62 MILLIMETER M60D.
The machinegun (Figure 4-12), is air-cooled, gasoperated and automatic. It uses standard 7.62 mm ammunition (Table 4-2). Headspace is fixed to permit quick
change of barrels. Designed primarily for operation in the
air, the M60D has an aircraft ring-and-post sighting system.
The weapon is pintle-mounted and is held by a quickrelease pin. The weapon mount is on a rotating arm assembly which allows the weapon to be locked outboard in the
firing position, or stowed inside the aircraft when the rotating arms are locked in the inboard position. It is easily
removed from the helicopter and can be used for ground
defense with the bipod extended. For more detail of the
M60D, refer to TM 9-1005-224-10.
4.15.1 Controls. Controls for the M60D are on the
weapon and consist of: barrel lock lever, safety, cocking
handle, cover, latch grip and trigger and magazine release
latch.
4.15.1.1 Barrel Lock Lever. The lever (Figure 4-12) is
at the right front of the receiver. It is attached to the barrel
locking shaft and turns to lock or unlock the barrel assembly.
4.15.1.2 Safety. The safety (Figures 4-12 and 4-13), at
the lower front of the receiver, consists of a cylindrical pin
with a sear clearance cut which slides across the receiver to
block the sear and prevent firing. The ends of the pin are
marked S (safe) and F (fire). The exposed letter shows the
operating state of the weapon.
4.15.1.3 Cocking Handle. The handle (Figure 4-12), at
the right front of the receiver, is used to manually cock the
weapon.
4.15.1.4 Cover Latch. The latch (Figure 4-12) is at the
right rear side of the cover assembly. When the latch lever

4-26

Change 10

is vertical it locks the cover in the closed position. When
moved to the horizontal it unlocks the cover.
4.15.1.5 Grip and Trigger Assembly. The assembly
(Figure 4-12) at the rear section of the receiver, includes
the spade grips. The U-shaped trigger design permits the
weapon to be fired by thumb pressure from either hand.

4.15.2 Installation of Machinegun M60D.

CAUTION

The RS 890224 pintle mount stop must be
installed in its proper position if the external stores support system (ESSS) is installed. The stop is a three-position stop:
stow, wings only, and external tanks. The
stow and wings only positions are independent of aircraft side. The external
tanks position is particular to the aircraft
side. Care must be taken to ensure the
correct position and/or side is installed.
Use of the M60D machineguns is prohibited when external ERFS tanks are installed on the inboard vertical pylon.
1. Install one machinegun M60D on the right side
and one on the left side of the helicopter at the

4.15.7 Firing Malfunctions.

WARNING
If a stoppage occurs, never retract bolt
assembly and allow it to go forward again
without inspecting chamber to see if it is
clear. Such an action strips another cartridge from belt. If an unfired cartridge
remains in the chamber, a second cartridge can fire the first and cause injury to
personnel and/or weapon damage.
a. Misfire. This is a complete failure to fire. It must be
treated as a hangfire until this possibility is eliminated.
b. Hangfire. This is a delay in functioning of the propelling charge. Time intervals set out in paragraph 4.15.8 must
be observed after a failure to fire.
c. Cookoff. This is firing of the chambered cartridge
from a hot barrel. A cookoff may occur from 10 seconds to
5 minutes after cartridge has been in contact with barrel.
d. Runaway Gun. If gun continues to fire after trigger
has been released, grasp belt, twist and break belt, allowing
the gun to run out of ammunition (usually when the belt is
broken only 3 to 5 rounds will remain).
4.15.8 Failure to Fire Procedure.
1. If a stoppage occurs, wait 5 seconds. Pull
handle assembly to rear, making sure operating
rod assembly is held back.
2. If cartridge ejects, return handle assembly forward, re-aim machinegun, and attempt to fire.
If machinegun does not fire, it must be cleared.
3. If cartridge does not eject, retract bolt assembly. Move safety button to SAFE (S), position.
Remove ammunition and links and inspect receiver assembly. Move safety button to FIRING (F) and attempt to fire. If cartridge does
not fire and barrel is considered hot enough to
cause a cookoff (200 rounds fired within 2 minutes), wait 15 minutes with bolt assembly in
forward position. Remove cartridge and reload.
If weapon is not hot enough to cause a cookoff,
disregard 15-minute wait.
4.15.9 Extracting a Ruptured Cartridge Case. Position ruptured cartridge case extractor in chamber. Run

cleaning rod through barrel assembly from muzzle end. Tap
cleaning rod against extractor until extractor and ruptured
cartridge case come out of chamber.
4.15.10 Double Feeding. When a stoppage occurs with
bolt assembly in forward position, assume there is an unfired cartridge in chamber. Treat this as a hangfire (paragraph 4.15.7).
4.15.11 Unloading. Raise cover assembly and remove
linked cartridges. Inspect chamber.
4.15.12 Ammunition. Ammunition for the machinegun
is connected to form a link belt; the rounds are used to hold
two links together. When a round is fired, the cartridge and
link separate and is contained in the ejector bag assembly.
Ammunition stowage in the cabin has compartments for six
grenades and extra rounds of ammunition.
4.16 VOLCANO
SYSTEM. VOL

MULTIPLE

MINE

DELIVERY

The volcano system is an automated, scatterable mine
delivery system that is capable of launching mines from the
helicopter. The system can dispense mines during day/night
and all weather conditions. The system can lay a mine field
of up to 960 mines at an average density of 0.9 mines per
meter front. For a more detailed description of the volcano
system, refer to TM 9-1095-208-23-2&P.
NOTE
The forward two-thirds of the cabin entry/
exit doors are restricted by the volcano system making the loading and unloading of
passengers and cargo more difficult. Internal
loads should be planned accordingly.
4.16.1 System Components. The volcano system consists of five major components: dispenser control unit
(DCU), launcher racks, jettison system, aircraft mounting
hardware, interface control panel (ICP) and ammunition
mine canisters.
4.16.1.1 DCU. The DCU (Figure 4-19) is the primary
electronic component and houses the electronics that control the system and contains a control panel for operating
the system. An interface control panel (ICP) is provided to
connect the applicable controls to the DCU. The DCU controls firing signals to the canisters and conducts built-in
testing (BIT) of the entire mine dispensing system. The
DCU is the main operator interface for the system. On the
DCU TOP panel, the operator controls the system with the
following controls:

provided from No. 1 dc primary bus through the CMD
CSL SET circuit breaker.
4.16.1.2 Launcher Rack Jettison System. The jettison system consists of an interface panel, emergency and
primary jettison circuits, and explosive cartridges. Jettison
capability is provided for upper and lower launcher racks
on each side of the helicopter. The one shot jettison circuits
are independent of each other and either may be used to
jettison the launcher racks. Upon activation of JETTISON
or EMER JETTISON, the lower racks on each side will
separate from the helicopter. After a lower racks away signal is received by the upper racks, the upper racks will
automatically jettison. The EMER JETTISON is a backup
for the JETTISON and provides the same launcher rack
jettison function on an independent circuit. When the helicopter is on the ground, the weight-on-wheel switch disables the jettison circuits to prevent unintentional jettisoning of the racks. Power for the jettison system is provided
from the dc essential bus through the ESSS JTSN OUTBD
and ESSS JTSN INBD circuit breakers. Power for emergency jettison is supplied by the battery.
4.16.1.3 Interface Control Panel (ICP). Controls and
indicators for the ICP (Figure 4-19) are on the control panel
and are as follows:

Wet and/or icy hardware may be slippery.
Use extra precaution when handling dispenser components. Do not force ice covered launcher rack levers.
1. During flight in icing conditions shed ice particles may cause foreign object damage (FOD)
to the helicopter, especially main rotor and tail
rotor blades and engine compressors. Flight
tests have shown that this FOD is difficult to
detect during flight. Minimizing descent rates
after ice has accumulated on the helicopter or
external stores should reduce the probability of
FOD because the airflow will carry particles aft
and down away from the helicopter. Normal
instrument procedure descents or approximately 100 feet per minute (fpm) or less are
preferable. During shutdown, crewmember’s
should be alert for unusual engine noise (high
pitched whine) that indicates compressor damage. The helicopter should be visually inspected
prior to further flight.
2. Engine torque increase of up to 20 percent can
be expected during cruise flights in icing conditions with the volcano system installed.
3. After flight in icing conditions with the volcano
system installed, the jettison safety pins may be
difficult to install due to ice in and around the
safety pin holes. The forward launcher rack
locking levers and arming levers may also be
covered with ice making it difficult to move the
arming levers to the safe position. Use an external heater to remove ice from these areas. Do
not use foreign objects to break ice from these
areas as this may cause damage to the system.
4. Do not bend ice covered cables until ice has
been removed with a warm air source.

7. Check expando and single acting pins to ensure
that they are seated and spring button is out.
8. After exposure to mud or salt water, clean and
wash dispenser components immediately. If
dirty, clean, wash and dry components before
repackaging them into shipping containers, refer to TM 9-1095-208-23-2&P.
9. When DCU cover is removed, make sure that

Section III CARGO HANDLING SYSTEMS
4.17 CARGO HOOK SYSTEM.
The system consists of a hook assembly (Figure 4-23)
mounted on the lower fuselage, a control panel on the upper console (Figure 2-7), a normal release button on each
cyclic stick grip, one emergency release switch on each
collective stick grip, and a firing key in the cabin for use by
the crew chief. The system incorporates three modes of
load release, an electrical circuit actuated from the cockpit,
a manual release worked by the crewmember through a
covered hatch in the cabin floor, and an emergency release
system using an electrically-activated explosive charge.
4.17.1 Cargo Hook Stowage. The cargo hook shall be
maintained in the stowed position during periods of nonuse. The cargo hook can be placed in a stowed position
(Figure 4-23) by opening the cargo hook access cover in
the cabin floor, and pulling the hook to the right and up.
When the hook is in the stowed position, the load beam
rests on a spring-loaded latch assembly and is prevented
from vibrating by a teflon bumper applying downward
pressure on the load beam. To release the hook from its
stowed position, downward pressure is placed on the latch
assembly lever, retracting the latch from beneath the load
beam, allowing the cargo hook to swing into operating position.
4.17.2 Cargo Hook Control Panel. The CARGO
HOOK control panel (Figure 4-23), on the upper console,
consists of an EMERG REL NORM, OPEN, SHORT
test switch, a TEST light, CONTR CKPT or ALL station
selector switch and an ARMING, SAFE, ARMED switch.
Before the normal release (electrical) can operate, the
ARMING switch must be at ARMED to provide electrical
power to the release switches. The pilot and copilot
CARGO REL switches, on the cyclics, will release the
load when the CONTR switch is at CKPT or ALL. The
crewmember’s NORMAL RLSE switch will release the
load when the CONTR switch is at ALL. The EMERG
REL switch and TEST light permits checking the emergency release circuit when at SHORT or OPEN. In both
cases of testing, if the release circuit is good, the TEST
light will go on when the HOOK EMER REL switch on
pilot’s or copilot’s collective, or the EMER RLSE switch
on the crewmember’s pendant, is pressed.
4.17.3 Crewmember’s Cargo Hook Control Pendant. The crewmember’s cargo hook control pendant
(Figure 4-24), in the aft cabin, provides the crew chief with

4-42

Change 9

an electrical release and jettison of an external load when
the CARGO HOOK CONTR switch is placed to ALL.
The NORMAL RLSE and EMER RLSE switches are
covered by guards to prevent accidental activation. When
the cover is raised the switch can be pressed. When not in
use, the pendant is stowed in the stowage bag at the back of
the pilot’s seat. Electrical power to operate the pendant is
provided from the No. 2 dc primary bus through a circuit
breaker, marked CARGO HOOK CONTR.
4.17.3.1 Normal Release. Normal release of external
cargo is done by pressing the CARGO REL switch on
either cyclic stick grip or the CARGO HOOK NORMAL
RLSE on the crewmember’s cargo hook pendant, after
placing the CARGO HOOK ARMING switch to
ARMED. A light on the advisory panel will go on, indicating HOOK ARMED. This informs the pilot that electrical power is applied to the control circuit; the actuation
of any of the release switches will release the load. When
the CARGO REL switch is pressed and the release solenoid begins to move, a switch closes, lighting the CARGO
HOOK OPEN advisory light. The load arm will swing
open, releasing the cargo. When the sling is detached from
the load beam, spring tension on the arm will cause it to
close and relatch, putting out the CARGO HOOK OPEN
advisory light. The normal release system is a one-shot
cycle; once the solenoid travel begins and the load arm
relatches, the release cycle can again be initiated. Power to
operate the normal release system is supplied from the No.
2 dc primary bus through circuit breakers marked CARGO
HOOK CONTR and PWR.

4.17.4.2 Emergency Release.
NOTE
When the emergency hook release has been
used and a replacement squib (explosive cartridge) is not available, the hook can not be
used until the explosive device is replaced,
since the hook load beam will not close and
lock.
Emergency release of an external cargo load is done by
an electrically-fired explosive cartridge, initiated from either of the collective stick grip switches, marked HOOK
EMER REL, or the crewman’s cargo hook control pendant, marked EMER RLSE. The emergency release is used
when the electrical and manual releases are inoperative,
and the load must be jettisoned. With the CARGO HOOK
EMERG REL switch at NORM, power will be applied to
the emergency release switch. Pressing the switch applies
28 vdc to the explosive cartridge, producing a high gas
pressure to drive a piston in the lock assembly, releasing
the load arm lock. The weight of the load will cause the

4-45

TM 1-1520-237-10

load arm to open. Once the emergency release is used, the
hook will remain open and the CARGO HOOK OPEN
advisory light will remain on until the explosive cartridge
device is replaced. When the explosive cartridge device is
replaced the load arm will close, the light will go off, and
the emergency release mode is returned to operation. Power
to operate the emergency release system is from the dc
essential bus through a circuit breaker, marked CARGO
HOOK EMER.

4.19 RESCUE HOIST SYSTEM KIT.
The high performance, two speed rescue hoist (Figure
4-25) is post-mounted in the cabin on the right side of the
helicopter when installed. The hoist system consists of
modular components, electrically-driven and electronicallycontrolled, to provide maximum lift capacities of 300
pounds at 0 to 250 feet-per-minute and 600 pounds at 0 to
125 feet-per-minute. The heaviest weight that may be suspended from the hoist is 600 pounds. A speed mode switch
at the back of rescue hoist control panel assembly on the
hoist support assembly, provides a selection of either
SLOW speed (0 to 125 feet-per-minute), or FAST speed (0
to 250 feet-per-minute). The hoist motor mounted at the top
of the pole provides selectable 125 or 250 feet-per-minute
reel-in and reel-out drive of a 250-foot hoist cable. A fail
safe mechanism limits the induced loading to the hoist to
1200 pounds at all times. A continuously running circulating fan cools the hoist motor. The hoist is controlled
through a lower console mounted RESCUE HOIST CONTROL panel and/or crewman’s control pendant grip in the
cabin. A hoist cable cutter system is used to cut the hoist
cable in case of emergency, by exploding a squib-actuated
cable-cutter. The cut cable then drops free of the hoist
boom. Power to operate the rescue hoist system is from the
No. 2 dc primary bus through a circuit breaker on the mission readiness circuit breaker panel, marked RESQ HST
CONTROL. Power for the cable cutter system is from the
dc essential bus through a circuit breaker, marked HOIST
CABLE SHEAR. Refer to Table 2-4 for servicing.
4.19.1 Controls and Function. The RESCUE HOIST
CONTROL panel (Figure 4-25) has all necessary controls
for operating the hoist from the cockpit, and contains the
system MASTER switch, controlling ON or OFF for both
cockpit and cabin. The hoist will respond to the first control
signal received.

4.19.2 Boom Assembly Module. The boom assembly
module consists of the boom structure boom head, up limit
switch, cable-cut device, and a cable guide, all installed in
the boom. The boom head is allowed to swivel 65° above
the boom cable and 30° from side-to-side and guide the
cable to wrap or unwrap from a 30° cone angle. The upper
limits of cable control includes an automatic means for decelerating the cable to 67 feet-per-minute cable speed. At 8
to 10 feet below the boom head, a caution light on the
crewman’s control pendant marked CAUTION will go on.
The cable will again decrease speed to 12 feet-per-minute
at 12 to 18 inches below the boom head.
4.19.3 Limit Switches. Four limit switches are actuated
by actuation assembly cams. They are: a down all stop, that
actuates when 250 feet of cable is reeled out; a down limit
switch, that actuates at 247 feet, to provide deceleration; a
10-foot caution switch that actuates when the hook is within
10 feet of the boom head or within 10 feet of the down
limit (240 feet); and an up deceleration switch, that actuates
when the cable hook is within 12 inches of the boom head.
4.19.4 Crewman’s Control Pendant Grip. The crewman’s control pendant grip (Figure 4-25) is a hand-held

4-48

Change 7

control in the cabin. The pendant grip is connected to the
control box by a cable connector. The control pendant contains three switches and two caution/warning lights:
HOIST cable control, BOOM positioning, and ICS
switches; OVERTEMP and cable 10-foot CAUTION
lights. The HOIST control is a directional and variable
speed spring loaded to center switch, with marked positions
of OFF, UP and DOWN. As the switch is moved further
away from OFF, the hoist speed increases in the marked
direction. When the switch is released the hoist will stop.
The BOOM position switch, with marked positions OUT
and IN, operates in the same manner as the HOIST switch,
except the boom moves in or out at a single speed. Two
lights are installed on the crewman’s control pendant. They
are: The 10-foot CAUTION light to warn the crewman
whenever the hoist cable is 10 feet or less from the all stop
limits. A red OVERTEMP light that warns the crewman of
an overtemperature condition in either the hoist lubrication
systems or the hoist motor. Whenever the OVERTEMP
light is on, the hoist should be allowed to cool down until
the light goes off. The ICS control switch, on the front of
the pendant, provides the operator with inter-helicopter
communication.
4.19.5 Cable Shear System. A cable shear feature releases a rescue hoist load in case of an emergency. The
system consists of a squib-actuated cable cutter, a CABLE
SHEAR switch on the pilot’s control panel and a shear
switch at the hoist assembly and a SQUIB test circuit. The
cutter may be fired by the pilot or the copilot from the
SHEAR switch on the control panel (Figure 4-25) or by the
hoist operator using the CABLE-CUT switch on top of the
control box. The SQUIB test circuit consists of a TESTNORM switch and a test good IND light. When the
SQUIB switch is at NORM and the SHEAR switch is
placed to FIRE, electrical power is sent to the dual squib
for firing. The exploding cartridge then drives a cutter into
the hoist cable and shears it. The rescue hoist cable shear
feature is operational whenever power is applied to the helicopter. Once fired, a replacement cable cutter kit and cable
must be replaced. Power to operate the cable shear is provided from the dc essential bus, through a circuit breaker
marked HOIST CABLE SHEAR.

hand motion to cable in direction opposite to oscillation.
For significant oscillation, stop reel-in, start reel-out or call
for pilot to lower aircraft.

WARNING
It is the hoist operator’s responsibility to
assure that the hoist cable does not contact any portion of the aircraft. The rescue hoist cable must be kept clear of all
parts of the aircraft and free from other
external obstacles when operating the
hoist. Cable abrasion during hoist operations can lead to cable failure. If cable
contact or snagging occurs, interrupt
hoist operations and inspect the cable for
damage in accordance with applicable
procedures. If any broken wires, unraveling, or kinks are observed, hoisting operations should be discontinued and the cable
replaced.
Reeling a kinked/damaged cable into the
hoist may cause a hoist jam condition
when reel-out is attempted, rendering
hoist inoperative.
The hoist operator is responsible to maintain stability of
the hoisted load by use of hoist controls, ICS calls to pilot,
and physical control of cable (hand or foot). For minor
oscillation (linear or circular swing), stop reel-in, apply

WARNING
If the oscillation is not quickly stopped, it
may become unmanageable. Reeling in an
oscillating load will only aggravate the
motion.
All crew should watch for shock loads, jerks, or snaps
that impart high loads on cable. If observed, hoisting should
be interrupted and cable inspection undertaken to verify
integrity (no broken wires, unraveling, or kinks) before resuming operations. Refer to TM 55-1680-320-23&P, high
performance rescue hoist assembly.

4.20 AUXILIARY ELECTRICAL CABIN HEATER.
(ON HELICOPTERS EQUIPPED WITH AUXILIARY
CABIN HEATER KIT.)
A 55,000 BTU/hr electrical auxiliary cabin heater is installed in the transition section to provide an increase in
cabin temperature in extremely cold environments. The

auxiliary heater system consists of a heater control panel on
the lower console replacing the retransmission control panel
when the heater kit is installed (Figure 4-26), a blower and
electrical heater unit in the transition section, a heater inlet
port on the cabin aft bulkhead (Figure 2-5), a temperature
control located under the left gunner’s window, and ducting
throughout the cabin. The auxiliary heater system is turned
on from the cockpit by a switch, marked OFF-ON-RESET
on the AUX CABIN HEATER control panel. With both
main generators operating and AUX CABIN HEATER
switch ON, the HTR ON light on the control panel will go
on indicating that power is applied through the heater control relay to the duct temperature sensor and to the blower
motor and cabin heater elements. If a heater unit overheats,
an element thermostat circuit will automatically open, causing the heater to shut off. When the element cools, the
AUX CABIN HEATER switch must be momentarily
placed at RESET to restore the system. A heater outlet
duct cycling thermostat is also provided at the air outlet
side of the heater. If duct temperature exceeds 82° 6 8°C,
the temperature sensor contacts will open, temporarily interrupting power to the heater elements. On decreasing
temperature, the contacts will automatically reset to closed
at 77° 6 8°C to restore power. A redundant duct overheat
sensor/shutoff switch is installed next to the duct cycling
thermostat to shut off power to the heater elements if the
delivered air flow temperature exceeds 99° 6 8°C due to
heater cycling sensor failure. Sensor switch contacts reset
closed on decreasing temperature. However, the cockpit
heater panel switch must be momentarily placed at RESET
to restart system operation. Heated air is carried through the
cabin via ducts along each side of the cabin at the ceiling.

4.22 EXTERNAL EXTENDED RANGE FUEL SYSTEM KIT. ERFS

4.22.1 External Extended Range Fuel Transfer
Modes. Fuel can be transferred from external tanks to
main tanks in either of two modes, AUTO MODE or
MANUAL. AUTO (primary) transfers fuel automatically
after switches are manipulated. Fuel transfer will be managed by the microprocessor as described in paragraph
4.22.6. The pilot need only occasionally monitor the AUXILIARY FUEL MANAGEMENT panel to ensure that
during AUTO MODE of fuel transfer, fuel in external
tanks is decreasing as it should. The second mode of transfer is the MANUAL XFR (secondary) mode. In the
MANUAL mode the pilot may replenish main tank fuel in
any quantity or frequency desired. Transfer must be initiated by the pilot. The pilot must constantly monitor the fuel
quantity indicator in order to start and terminate transfer to
remain within CG limits. It is possible to transfer fuel from
any one tank while in MANUAL mode. Transfer is shut off
by the pilot when the external tank low-level sensor signals
that the tank is empty. During manual transfer, at the illumination of a tank EMPTY light, immediately switch from
OUTBD to INBD or to manual transfer MODE OFF. Do
not wait for the NO FLOW light to illuminate. This will
preclude air from entering the fuel line and entering the
main tank. At the illumination of the TANK EMPTY capsule, 2.5 to 4.0 gallons of fuel remain in the tank. Sloshing
of the fuel will cause frequent illumination of the TANK
EMPTY, NO FLOW, and AUX FUEL lights when the
tank is in this condition.

The external extended range fuel system is supported by
the external stores support system extending horizontally
from each side of the fuselage aft of the cockpit doors. The
230-gallon and 450-gallon jettisonable tanks may be suspended from the vertical stores pylons (VSP). Removable
fuel lines, bleed-air lines, valves, and electrical connectors
are within the horizontal stores supports (HSS). A tank
pressurizing system, using bleed-air, transfers fuel to the
main tanks. Fuel lines carrying fuel to the No. 1 and No. 2
main fuel tanks contain check valves to prevent backflow.
The extended range system does not supply fuel directly to
the engines but is used to replenish the main tanks. Servicing of the external tanks can be done only through fueling

4.22.2 External Extended Range Fuel System
Tanks. External extended range system contains two or
four tanks suspended from supports outboard of the fuselage. The tanks contain baffles to prevent fuel sloshing.
Quick-disconnect valves are provided in external fuel and
bleed-air lines to provide seals when tanks are jettisoned or
removed. If tanks are not installed cccc will be displayed in
the AUX FUEL QTY POUNDS display when OUTBD or
INBD is selected on the rotary fuel quantity selector. The
preferred location of the External Extended Range Fuel
System (External ERFS) auxiliary fuel tank is the outboard
pylon. This facilitates ingress and egress of troops, loading
of cargo, and the use of the M60D door gun.

WARNING
FUEL BOOST PUMP CONTROL
switches shall remain on during external
range fuel transfer and remain on for 10
minutes after PRESS switches are moved
to OFF. Failure to observe this warning
may cause engine flameout.

CAUTION

Fuel transfer sequence must be carefully
planned and executed in order to maintain CG within limits.
Fuel transfer sequence shall be based on mission requirement and center of gravity limitations. Automatic
transfer is started when the proper switches are manipulated
and fuel level is as shown below and external range tanks
internal pressure is increased enough to force fuel to the
main tanks. Transfer will continue until the main tank signal conditioner provides a signal through the microprocessor to stop fuel transfer. This cycle is done as required until
interrupted by placing the MODE switch to OFF or
MANUAL or placing the PRESS switch OFF. Manual
transfer will be started on selection of MANUAL and appropriate switches, and external fuel tanks are bleed-air
pressurized to start fuel transfer from external tank(s) to
main tanks. Transfer will continue until tanks are full. They
will remain full as long as the manual mode remains engaged. Manual transfer requires close monitoring of fuel
level to initiate and stop transfer to remain within CG limits. The automatic transfer sequence is as follows:

lines, valves, and electrical connectors are within the horizontal stores supports (HSS). A tank pressurizing system,
using bleed-air, transfers fuel from the external tanks to the
main tanks. Fuel lines carrying fuel to the No. 1 and No. 2
main fuel tanks contain check valves to prevent backflow.
The external tanks are gravity refueled only. Control of the
system is provided by a auxiliary fuel management panel
(AFMP) located in the center of the instrument panel. Dimming control for the AFMP panel lighting is provided by
the cockpit INST LT NON FLT rheostat on the upper
console. Dimming control for all fuel quantity displays and
annunciators on the AFMP is provided by the LIGHTED
SWITCHES rheostat on the upper console only when the
caution/advisory panel is in the DIM mode. Power for the
auxiliary fuel management system is provided from the No.

FUEL RH and NO. 2 XFER CONTROL on the mission
readiness circuit breaker panel.
4.22A.1 External Auxiliary Fuel Management System. This system contains two or four tanks suspended
from supports outboard of the fuselage. The tanks contain
baffles to prevent fuel sloshing. Quick-disconnect valves
are provided in external fuel and bleed-air lines to provide
seals when tanks are jettisoned or removed. If tanks are not
installed, the fuel quantity display for the removed tank is
blank when the XFER MODE is OFF. When the XFER
MODE switch is in any other position, the removed tank

Quantity Indicating System. AFMS

Management

NOTE

The AUX FUEL QTY LB digital readout indicates
(Figure 4-27.1) the amount of fuel in each of the installed
external tanks in ten pound increments. A fuel probe in
each of the external tanks sends a signal to the AFMP proportional to the fuel level in the tank. The level of fuel at
the probe varies significantly with tank attitude. Aircraft
body pitch angle data from the copilot’s vertical gyro is
used by the AFMP so that the fuel quantity displayed includes compensation for angles between 10° nose down
and 1° nose up. E07 will result in a drop in AUX fuel
quantities for pitch down attitudes. A pitch up attitude may
result in a slight increase. The copilot’s attitude indicator
will not indicate OFF if the E07 error code occurs due to
failure of AFMP circuits external to the gyro. The pilot’s
vertical gyro is not connected to the AFMP and therefore
not available for attitude compensation. Level flight provides most accurate fuel quantity. A filter is incorporated in
the AFMP software to minimize fuel quantity variations
due to fuel slosh during maneuvering flight.
NOTE
The AFMP may display fuel quantities of up
to 150 pounds below the actual fuel quantity
per tank due to tank angle when the helicopter is on the ground.
A lateral imbalance is defined as any difference in fuel quantity readings between tank
pairs greater than 400 pounds. The crew
should not wait for the illumination of the
IMBAL light to begin correcting the lateral
imbalance condition.
The AFMP has three built in test (BIT) functions; power
up (PBIT), initiated (IBIT), and continuous (CBIT). PBIT
and IBIT are disabled in-flight by the WOW interlock. Circuits tested and related error codes are shown in Table 4-4.
PBIT is initiated when power is applied or reapplied to the
AFMP. IBIT is initiated by pressing the TEST/RESET
button for one second or more. CBIT is activated at the
completion of PBIT or IBIT and runs continuously.
NOTE

Unmodified 230-gallon and 450-gallon tanks
are prohibited from use on helicopters modified for AFMS. Crews should visually inspect each tank identification plate to verify
that only AFMS modified tanks are installed
on AFMS modified helicopters.

Change 10

The transition from APU to main generators
during engine run up can cause the PBIT to
be initiated. The AFMP will display fuel

cause engine flameout.

CAUTION

Monitor fuel transfer to remain within
CG limits and avoid asymmetric loading.
The fuel transfer sequence shall be based on mission
requirements and center of gravity limitations. Automatic
transfer is controlled by the AFMP sensing the No. 1 and 2
main tank fuel quantities to start and stop fuel transfer.
When AUTO mode is selected, transfer starts when the fuel
level in either main tank falls below 1,000 pounds, and the
external tanks are pressurized. The NO FLOW lights may
flicker upon initiation of fuel transfer. The AFMP transfers
fuel from both tanks selected with the XFER FROM
switch regardless of the position of the MAN XFER
switch. Fuel transfer stops when the TOTAL FUEL quantity indicates 2,200 pounds or when the EMPTY light on
either tank or VENT OVFL light illuminates on the AFMP.

AFMS

WARNING
FUEL BOOST PUMP CONTROL
switches shall remain on during external
range fuel transfer and remain on for 10
minutes after PRESS switch is moved to
OFF. Failure to observe this warning may
cause engine flameout.

CAUTION

Monitor fuel transfer to remain within
CG limits and avoid asymmetric loading.

If the IMBAL indicator illuminates, the
crew should verify selection of the heavy
tank and closely monitor the fuel quantity
displays on the AFMP. No additional
warnings are provided by the AFMP or
caution advisory system if the crew selects
the wrong tank with the MAN XFER
switch.
Manual transfer requires close monitoring of the main
fuel quantity and AFMP fuel quantity displays to remain
within CG limits and maintain lateral balance. Manual
mode is initiated by the pilot when the XFER MODE
switch is placed to MAN and external tanks are pressurized. Fuel transfer will continue as long as MAN is selected. The NO FLOW lights will randomly flicker as fuel
is transferred until the main fuel quantity reaches approximately 2,300 pounds, unless the XFER MODE switch is
placed to OFF or AUTO. The NO FLOW condition results when the tank pressurization can no longer add fuel to
the tanks due to activation of the high level fuel shutoff
valves in the main tanks. Illumination of the EMPTY light
alerts the pilot to change tank pairs using the XFER FROM
switch, select another tank using the MAN XFER switch,
or place the XFER MODE switch to OFF. To avoid
pumping air into the main tanks, do not wait for the NO
FLOW light to illuminate. Sloshing of the fuel will cause
frequent illumination of the EMPTY light only when the
tank is selected for fuel transfer. Sloshing of fuel and activation of the fuel transfer valves using the XFER MODE
switch can cause flickering of the NO FLOW light; however the AUX FUEL and MASTER CAUTION will only
illuminate if the NO FLOW lights remain illuminated for
more than 5 seconds. If lateral imbalance results during fuel
transfer, the AFMP senses the imbalance and illuminates
the IMBAL light. The lateral imbalance can be resolved by
selecting fuel transfer from the heavy tank. The IMBAL
light illuminates with approximately 685 pound difference
between outboard tanks, and will remain illuminated until
the lateral imbalance is reduced below approximately 450
pound difference between outboard tanks.

4.23.4 External Stores Jettison Control Panel. The
jettison control panel (Figure 4-28) provides the capability
of phase jettison of all external stores or symmetrical jettison of fuel tanks. Interlock circuitry prevents jettison of
fuel tanks other than in pairs. Emergency jettison is completely independent of the primary jettison subsystem.

Rack CARTRIDGES are explosive devices and must not be exposed to heat,
stray voltage or static electricity. Refer to
TM 9-1300-206 for information concerning handling and storage of ammunition.
The jettison control panel (Figure 4-28) contains all controls for jettisoning external stores. Jettison controls are as
follows:

4.23.5 Stores Jettison Control Operation.

CAUTION

To prevent unintentional jettison of external stores when the helicopter weight is
on the wheels, do not actuate any jettison
switch.
The jettison system provides two modes of jettisoning
external stores, primary and emergency. The primary subsystem uses the rotary selector switch and the JETT toggle
switch. The emergency jettison subsystem uses only the
EMER JETT ALL toggle switch. Primary jettison is used
when selective jettison is desired. The rotary switch is used
to select the stores point for release, and the JETT toggle
switch is used to actuate the release. Emergency jettison is
used to release all external stores through one actuation of
the EMER JETT ALL toggle switch, regardless of rotary
switch position. During primary (rotary switch ALL selected) and emergency jettison, a 1-second delay is provided after the outboard stores are released, before the inboard stores will be released. When one pair of tanks is
jettisoned in a four tank system, cccc will appear on the
AUX FUEL QTY POUNDS digital readout when the corresponding fuel quantity position is selected. The fuel remaining in the tanks jettisoned will be subtracted from the
total displayed when TOTAL is selected. Power to operate
the primary jettison subsystem is from the No. 1 dc primary
bus through circuit breakers marked ESSS JTSN INBD
and OUTBD. The emergency jettison subsystem is powered from the dc essential bus through circuit breakers
marked ESSS JTSN INBD and OUTBD.

Use of the medevac pedestal ambulatory
configuration for transport of personnel
other than patients or essential medical
personnel is prohibited.
A medevac kit consisting of a pedestal support assembly
and provisions for three rear-facing troop seats may be installed in the UH-60 helicopter (Figure 4-29) after removing the existing troop seats. The medevac pedestal assembly, when installed, is directly below the main transmission.
The pedestal can be turned about a vertical axis. Litter supports are cantilevered from the pedestal. The litter supports
may be positioned to accept four to six litter patients, up to
six ambulatory patients or essential medical personnel, or
combination thereof. The pedestal should be positioned
along the longitudinal axis of the helicopter for flight, to
provide maximum crash attenuation. The pedestal contains
restraint belts for each litter, restraint lap belts for each
ambulatory occupant, eight individually operated lights for
the four-man litter configuration, provisions for eight 1000
ml. intravenous fluid bags, and provisions for two size D
oxygen bottles. Another feature of the medevac kit is a 115
vac, 60 Hz frequency converter to provide electrical power
for use of standard hospital equipment. On missions not
requiring electrical power, the power pack may be left out.
The three-man rear-facing seat provisions are in the forward portion of the cabin, and accommodate standard troop
seats. The four man litter configuration allows rotation of
the pedestal so that the litter patients can be loaded from
either side of the helicopter. The six-man litter configuration also allows for side loading: however, the pedestal
must be rotated back to the locked position along the longitudinal axis of the helicopter after four litters are loaded.
Floor restraints are then installed to the cabin floor tiedown
studs on both sides of the pedestal. The last two litters are
placed on both sides of the pedestal between the floor restraints and secured. Only the upper supports are capable of
being tilted for loading or unloading of the litters. Unloading the patients is the reverse of loading. To convert to the
six-man ambulatory patient or essential medical personnel
configuration, the upper litter supports are folded down to
accommodate three patients or essential medical personnel
seated side by side on either side of the pedestal. The mede-

ward pedestal, until pivot shaft is fully inserted into pivot
shaft hole on pedestal and handle lock is engaged.
(4) Repeat step (3) for other end of litter support.

4.25.1 Litter Support. Each litter support is attached to
the center pedestal by two end pivot shafts, (Figure 4-29)
and by two T-shaped fittings, which allows removal, interchange, or repositioning of the supports. Crashload absorption works on the deformation principal. There are five
pivot shaft support holes on the right and left side of the
center console at both ends. Behind the holes are support
rollers for the pivot shafts. From top to bottom, the top hole
is provisions for the upper litter in the six-litter configuration. The second hole is for the upper litter support of a
four-litter configuration. These end holes line up with a
central pivot shaft on the litter support. Only this litter position allows midposition pivoting for loading or unloading.
The third hole is for the center litter of the six-litter configuration. The fourth hole is used when installing the litter
support in the four-litter configuration. The third, fourth,
and fifth positions do not provide a tilt function.
4.25.2 Litter Lighting. Two litter lights are installed in
the pedestal at each litter (Figure 4-29). Each light contains
a PUSH-ON, PUSH-OFF switch. The positioning of those
lights is adjustable. Power to operate the litter lights is from
the No. 1 and No. 2 dc primary buses through circuit breakers on the mission readiness circuit breaker panel, marked
NO. 1 LTR LTS and NO. 2 LTR LTS. The lights are
operated from a split bus to provide one light at each litter
in case of a single dc primary bus failure.
4.25.3 Litter Support Installation. The upper litter
supports are supported by a center pivot shaft and two end
pivot shafts, one at each end of the support (Figure 4-29).
To tilt the upper end of the support only for loading or
unloading of litter patients, the center shaft remains locked
to the pedestal and the end shafts are disengaged for support pivoting. This system was designed to pivot about the
center shaft. Although the supports may be pivoted at either
end, more effort is required when the loaded litter is installed. To install the litter supports, do this:

b. Upper Litter Support Installation.
(1) Prepare support. Before installation, each center
pivot pin must be unlocked and retracted, and the handle
disengaged from its retainer. End pivot handles must be in
disengaged position.
(2) Tilt outer edge of litter support slightly down and
engage T-bars into split retention fittings at second support
hole from top of pedestal.
(3) Raise outer edge of litter support until support is
level.
(4) Insert end pivot shaft into pedestal by pulling on
pivot shaft lever lock, and moving lever toward pedestal
until end pivot shaft engages partway in end pivot support
hole.
(5) Position center pivot shaft lock handle counterclockwise to horizontal.
(6) Push center pivot shaft toward pedestal until shaft
is fully inserted into center pivot shaft hole. Opposite end
of litter support should be raised or lowered to help line up
center shaft on support with center hole on pedestal.
(7) Turn center pivot lock lever clockwise to horizontal.
(8) Repeat step (4) for other end of litter support. Now
slide both end pivot shafts in fully by moving pivot lever
lock handle to engage position.

hoist and medevac kit are installed simultaneously, the upper, right litter support should be removed from the aircraft.
The lower, right support may be stowed if not actually in
use. The lower right litter support shall be installed in the
lowest position and used when transporting more than two
litter patients or when conducting hoist operations with a
stokes litter. Loading of a stokes litter patient may be facilitated by rotating the litter pedestal approximately 30 degrees from the fly position. When returning the pedestal to
the fly position the aft right corner of the litter support must
be lifted to prevent interference with the lower hoist mount

will rotate only 60° from center line for loading
litter patients.

3. Release lock handle while turning pedestal.
Pedestal will automatically lock in a lateral position for loading and unloading.
4. Release both litter support end pivot shaft on
upper litters. Disengage pivot lever locks and
move levers away from pedestal. Hold support
with opposite hand. Release lever. End pivot
shafts should rest on fitting at hole. Litter support is now ready to be loaded from either side.
Select side desired. Move end pivot release lever about 1 inch more to compress the shaft

guide and the litter support to be lowered at the
end. During the lowering, release pivot shaft
lever to allow pivot shaft spring to push shaft
onto lower stop fitting.
5. Using two persons (one each side or end) -Place
litter with patient on end of upper support and
push litter into position. Note that litter feet
must be trapped between wood stops on litter
support. If three or more patients are to be
loaded, the upper supports must be loaded first.
The reverse applies to unloading.
6. To tilt upper litter support end, pull shaft lever
lock and move lever away from pedestal at support end which is being raised. Pivot litter support to level position until pivot shaft holes are
lined up with pivot shafts. Move levers toward
pedestal until shaft is fully inserted into shaft
holes and handle locks are engaged.
7. Lower litters - Using two persons (one each
side or end) place litter with patient on end of
support and push litter into position. Note that
litter feet must be trapped between wood stops
on litter support.
8. Litter straps - Extend straps (on pedestal) and
engage in buckle on litter supports. Pull straps
out uniformly to engage; partial pulling will require complete retraction of the belt to disengage belt lock.
9. Pedestal rotation lock handle - Pull and turn
pedestal counterclockwise 90° (viewed from
above) into flight position (longitudinal axis),
and release handle.
10. Cabin doors - Close.
11. Unloading is reverse of loading after litter
straps are removed and oxygen and IV tubes
are checked to make certain tangling will not
occur with litter or support.
4.25.7 IV Bags and Oxygen Tanks Installation.

General’s directives, and must have oxygen regulators attached.
Provisions for IV bags and oxygen tanks are on the top
of the pedestal at each end. Four IV bags may be attached
to each IV/oxygen assembly (Figure 4-29). IV bag hooks at
the outer end of the assembly are used for the lower litters
and the inner hooks are used for the upper litters. Eyelets at
the top of the bag are placed on the IV hooks and the bags
are hung downward. To prevent damage to IV bags, check
clearance between transmission drip pan drain tube clamps
and installed IV bags. Flow adjustment and replacement
will be done by the medical attendant. Oxygen tanks are
inserted into the assembly, bottom first. A restraint strap is
provided to prevent the tank from falling out during normal
maneuvering during flight. The strap is placed across the
regulator in a manner and routed as shown in Figure 4-29,
to prevent the restraint strap from slipping. The strap ends
are attached and drawn tight to keep the tank secure.
4.25.8 Litter Support Stowage.

WARNING
Storage of the litter support in the upper
level stowed position can be dangerous
during a crash sequence due to the release
of the litter support from the carousel.
Advise storage in this manner be avoided.
Maintain this litter support in the installed position or place in the back of the
carousel in the ambulatory level if there
are no occupants along the aft bulkhead
(Row 5).
The litter supports may be stowed along the center pedestal on each side, one above the other (Figure 4-29). Stowage brackets at each end of the pedestal provide lower support of the supports, and prevent the supports from moving
away from the pedestal. Web straps attached to rings are
used to hold the upper ends of the supports to the pedestal.
Pins are used to hold the stowage brackets in a stowed
position against the pedestal end. Two brackets are provided for each litter support. The top support must be
stowed first, then the lower support. For reinstallation the
sequence is reversed.

CAUTION

The pilot must be advised when oxygen is
on board, its use must be per the Surgeon

1. Lower the stowage support arm to the horizontal position and insert the support arm stowage
pin through the support arm and into the center
pedestal.

TM 1-1520-237-10

NOTE
Improper positioning of the support arm
stowage pin reduces the holding capability
of the support arm, which may cause the
support arm to shear its pivot bolt during a
hard landing or aircraft mishap.
2. Place the litter pan in the stowed position, with
the top of the litter pan against the center pedestal and the pivot support arm properly
stowed.
3. Secure the litter pan to the center pedestal by
routing the opposite side web strap around the
upper portion of the litter pan handle. Secure
the metal clasp to the metal ring and tighten the
web strap. (Use of the opposite side web strap
will reduce excess movement of the litter pan
while stowed).
4. If only one upper litter pan is to be stowed, as
in step 3, additional security may be added by
routing the same side web strap around the
lower portion of the litter pan handle and fastening the web strap.

CAUTION

Do not store equipment between the
stowed litter pan and the center pedestal.
5. The lower litter pan will be stowed in the same
manner as in steps 1 through 3. The same side
web strap may be used to secure the lower portion of the litter pan as in step 4 if only one
lower litter is to be stowed.
6. Removal of stowed litter pans is accomplished
in the reverse order of steps 1 through 4.
4.26 APU INLET PARTICLE SEPARATOR (IPS) KIT
(HELICOPTERS WITH IPS KIT INSTALLED).
The APU IPS Kit provides APU inlet air filtration via a
centrifugal particle separator unit. The separator is attached
to the APU radial inlet housing and provides for collection
and overboard exhausting of scavenge particles. The passive separator operation employs APU bleed air to drive an
ejector pump used for particle scavenging. The IPS kit is

designed to be physically compatible with both HIRSS and
non-HIRSS helicopters with the T-62T-40-1 series 200/300
APU installations only. The kit consists of three categories
of removable components:
a. Air particle separator assembly.
b. APU modification kit - Parts required to modify the
APU to accept the separator assembly.
c. Airframe provisions - Parts required to install the
separator assembly and provide bleed air supply and scavenge exhaust provisions.
4.27 SNOW SKIS.
Landing gear skis are constructed of fiberglassreinforced plastic, and attached to the landing gear axle.
The skis have spring cylinders and check cables to retain
the ski in a 5° nose up attitude during flight.

CAUTION

Installation of skis requires removal of
landing gear wire cutters and severely degrades the aircraft wire strike capability.
Upon removal of skis, wire strike hardware shall be reinstalled, restoring aircraft to standard configuration prior to
next flight.
Cockpit entry/exit paths are partially restricted by the main skis making cockpit
entry/exit slightly more difficult. Additionally, the cabin entry/exit doors are
partially restricted making the loading/
unloading of cargo slightly more difficult.
NOTE
The hinged main gear ski shall only be used
on the right landing gear of helicopters
equipped with rescue hoists. The hinged ski
is equipped with a retraction cable. This
cable may be removed if it interferes with
the hoist, or other equipment, and alternative
retraction methods, such as a gaff, may be
used.

5.1 PURPOSE.

restrictions for UH-60L helicopters 9626723 and subsequent.

This chapter identifies or refers to all important operating limits and restrictions that shall be observed during
ground and flight operations.
5.2 GENERAL.
The operating limitations set forth in this chapter are the
direct results of design analysis, tests, and operating experiences. Compliance with these limits will allow the pilot to
safely perform the assigned missions and to derive maximum use from the aircraft.

5.3 EXCEEDING OPERATIONAL LIMITS.
Any time an operational limit is exceeded an appropriate
entry shall be made on DA Form 2408-13-1. Entry shall
state what limit or limits were exceeded, range, time beyond limits, and any additional data that would aid maintenance personnel in the maintenance action that may be required. The helicopter shall not be flown until corrective
action is taken.
5.4 MINIMUM CREW REQUIREMENTS.

NOTE
See current Interim Statement of Airworthiness Qualification for operating limits and
restrictions for EH-60A helicopters.
EH

The minimum crew required to fly the helicopter is two
pilots. Additional crewmembers as required will be added
at the discretion of the commander, in accordance with pertinent Department of the Army regulations.

up to 120% RPM R are authorized for use by maintenance
test flight pilots during autorotational RPM checks.

NOTE
5.7 MAIN TRANSMISSION MODULE LIMITATIONS.
Instrument/color markings may differ from
actual limits.
Operating limitations are shown as side arrows or colored strips on the instrument face plate of engine, flight and
utility system instruments (Figures 5-1, 5-2, and 5-3). Those
readings are shown by ascending and descending columns
of multicolor lights (red, yellow and green) measured
against vertical scales. RED markings indicate the limit
above or below which continued operation is likely to cause
damage or shorten component life. GREEN markings indicate the safe or normal range of operation. YELLOW
markings indicate the range when special attention should
be given to the operation covered by the instrument.
5.6 ROTOR LIMITATIONS.
It is not abnormal to observe a % RPM 1 and 2 speed
split during autorotational descent when the engines are
fully decoupled from the main rotor. A speed increase of
one engine from 100% reference to 103% maximum can be
expected. During power recovery, it is normal for the engine operating above 100% RPM to lead the other engine.
Refer to Figure 5-1 for limitations.
5.6.1 Rotor Start and Stop Limits. Maximum wind
velocity for rotor start or stop is 45 knots from any direction.
5.6.2 Rotor Speed Limitations. Refer to Figure 5-1
for rotor limitations. Power off (autorotation) rotor speeds

a. Oil pressure should remain steady during steady state
forward flight or in level hover. Momentary fluctuations in
oil pressure may occur during transient maneuvers (i.e.
hovering in gusty wind conditions), or when flying with
pitch attitudes above +6°. These types of oil pressure fluctuations are acceptable, even when oil pressure drops into
the yellow range (below 30 psi). Oil pressure should remain
steady and should be in the 45 to 55 psi range for the
UH-60A/EH-60A, and 45 to 60 psi range for the UH-60L,
to ensure that when fluctuations occur they remain in the
acceptable range as defined above. If oil pressure is not
steady during steady state forward flight or in a level hover,
or if oil pressure is steady but under 45 psi, make an entry
on Form 2408-13-1. Sudden pressure drop (more than 10
PSI) without fluctuation requires an entry on Form 240813-1.
b. A demand for maximum power from engines with
different engine torque factors (ETF) will cause a torque
split when the low ETF engine reaches TGT limiting. This
torque split is normal. Under these circumstances, the high
power engine may exceed the dual engine limit. (Example:
#1 TRQ = 96% at TGT limiting, #2 TRQ is allowed to go
up to 104%. Total aircraft torque = (96%+104%)/2 =
100%).
c. With transmission oil temperature operation in the
precautionary range, an entry should be made on DA Form
2408-13-1 except when hovering in adverse conditions described in Chapter 8 Desert and Hot Weather Operations.

tive start cycles. A 30-minute rest period is then required
before any additional starts.

5.8.1 Engine Power Limitations. 700 The limitations
which are presented in Figure 5-2, present absolute limitations, regardless of atmospheric conditions. For variations
in power available with temperature and pressure altitude,
refer to the TORQUE AVAILABLE charts in Chapter 7.

c. At ambient temperatures above 15° up to 52°C (59°
up to 126°F), two consecutive start cycles may be made. A
30-minute rest period is then required before any additional
start cycles.

5.8.2 Engine Power Limitations.

5.9 PNEUMATIC SOURCE INLET LIMITS.

701C

a. The limitations which are presented in Figure 5-3,
present absolute limitations regardless of atmospheric conditions. For variations in power available with temperature
and pressure altitude, refer to TORQUE AVAILABLE
charts in Chapter 7A.

The minimum ground-air source (pneumatic) required to
start the helicopter engines is 40 psig and 30 ppm at 149°C
(300°F). The maximum ground-air source to be applied to
the helicopter is 50 psig at 249°C (480°F), measured at the
external air connector on the fuselage.

b. Helicopters prior to S/N 91-26354 that are not
equipped with improved main rotor flight controls are further restricted above 80 KIAS to dual-engine continuous
torque limits as indicated by a placard on the instrument
panel . See Figure 5-4.

5.10 ENGINE START LIMITS.

5.8.3 Engine % RPM Limitations. Transient % RPM
1 or 2 operation in yellow range (101% to 105%) is not
recommended as good operating practice. However no
damage to either engine or drive train is incurred by operation within this range. Momentary transients above 107%
Np are authorized for use by maintenance test pilots during
autorotational rpm checks.
5.8.4 Engine Starter Limits.
a. The pneumatic starter is capable of making the number of consecutive start cycles listed below, when exposed
to the environmental conditions specified, with an interval
of at least 60 seconds between the completion of one cycle
and the beginning of the next cycle. A starting cycle is the
interval from start initiation and acceleration of the compressor, from zero rpm, to starter dropout. The 60-second
delay between start attempts applies when the first attempt
is aborted for any reason, and it applies regardless of the

CAUTION

Engine start attempts at or above a pressure altitude of 18,000 feet 701C , or
20,000 feet 700 could result in a Hot Start.
Crossbleed starts shall not be attempted unless the antiice light is off, and operating engine must be at 90% Ng
SPEED or above and rotor speed at 100% RPM R. When
attempting single-engine starts at pressure altitudes above
14,000 feet, press the start switch with the ENG POWER
CONT lever OFF, until the maximum motoring speed
(about 24%) is reached, before going to IDLE. Engine
starts using APU source may be attempted when within the

Section VI MANEUVERING LIMITS
5.22 PROHIBITED MANEUVERS.
a. Hovering turns greater than 30° per second are prohibited. Intentional maneuvers beyond attitudes of 630° in
pitch or over 60° in roll are prohibited.
b. Simultaneous moving of both ENG POWER CONT
levers to IDLE or OFF (throttle chop) in flight is prohibited.
c. Rearward ground taxi is prohibited.
5.23 RESTRICTED MANEUVERS.
5.23.1 Manual Operation of the Stabilator. Manual
operation of the stabilator in flight is prohibited except as
required by formal training and maintenance test flight requirements, or as alternate stabilator control in case the
AUTO mode malfunctions.
5.23.2 Downwind Hovering. Prolonged rearward flight
and downwind hovering are to be avoided to prevent accumulation of exhaust fumes in the helicopter and heat damage to windows on open cargo doors.
5.23.3 Maneuvering Limitations.
NOTE
Maneuvers entered from a low power setting
may result in transient droop of 5% RPM R
or greater.
a. The maneuvering limits of the helicopter, other than
as limited by other paragraphs within this section, are always defined by main rotor blade stall. Stall has not been
encountered in one G flight up to the airspeeds shown in
chart Figure 5-6 for aircraft without ESSS installed and
Figure 5-7 for aircraft with ESSS installed.

ducing the angle of bank. Maneuvering flight which results
in severe blade stall and significant increase in 4 per rev
vibration is prohibited.
5.23.3.1 High Speed Yaw Maneuver Limitation.
Above 80 KIAS avoid abrupt, full pedal inputs to prevent
excess tail rotor system loading.
5.23.3.2 Limitations for Maneuvering With Sling
Loads. Maneuvering limitations with a sling load is limited to a maximum of 30° angle of bank in forward flight
(Figure 5-10). Side flight is limited by bank angle and is
decreased as airspeed increases. Rearward flight with sling
load is limited to 35 knots.
5.23.3.3 Limitations for Maneuvering With Rescue
Hoist Loads. Maneuvering limitations with a rescue hoist
load is limited to maximum of 30° angle of bank in forward
flight (Figure 5-10). Side flight is limited by bank angle and
is decreased as airspeed is increased. Rearward flight with
hoist load is limited to 35 knots. Rate of descent is limited
to 1,000 feet-per-minute.
5.23.3.4 Bank Angle Limitation. Bank angles shall be
limited to 30° when a PRI SERVO PRESS caution light is
on.
5.24 LANDING GEAR LIMITATIONS.
Do not exceed a touchdown sink rate of 540 feet-perminute on level terrain and 360 feet-per-minute on slopes
with gross weights of up to 16,825 pounds; above 16,825
pounds gross weight 300 feet-per-minute on level terrain
and 180 feet-per-minute on slopes.
5.25 LANDING SPEED LIMITATIONS.
Maximum forward touchdown speed is limited to 60
knots ground speed on level terrain.
5.26 SLOPE LANDING LIMITATIONS.

b. The blade stall chart (Figure 5-9) while not an aircraft limitation, provides the level flight angle of bank at
which blade stall will begin to occur as a function of airspeed, gross weight, pressure altitude and temperature.
When operating near blade stall, any increase in airspeed,
load factor (bank angle), turbulence, or abrupt control inputs will increase the severity of the stall. Fully developed
stall will be accompanied by heavy four per rev vibration,
increasing torque, and loss of altitude. Recovery is always
accomplished by reducing the severity of the maneuver,
that is by reducing collective, reducing airspeed, and/or re-

The following slope limitations apply regardless of gross
weight or CG, with or without ESSS/ERFS.

Because of the flat profile of the main transmission and forward location of both transmission oil pumps, transmission oil pressure
will drop during nose-up slope operations.
At slope angle of 10° an indicated oil pressure of 30 to 35 psi is normal, and at a 15°
slope angle a pressure in the range of 10 to
15 psi is normal, due to pitching of the helicopter.
a. 15° nose-up, right wheel up or left wheel upslope.
The slope limitations shall be further reduced by 2° for
every 5 knots of wind.
b. 6° nose downslope. Landing in downslope conditions with tail winds greater than 15 knots shall not be

conducted. A low-frequency oscillation may occur when
landing nose-down on a slope with the cyclic near the aft
stop.
c. The main gearbox may be operated up to 30 minutes
at a time with pressure fluctuations when the helicopter is
known to be at a nose-up attitude (i.e., slope landings or
hover with extreme aft CG).
d. When attempting a nose upslope landing at gross
weights in excess of 16,000 pounds with skis installed, the
parking brake may not hold the aircraft in position. The
pilot should be prepared to use the toe brakes.

Section II WEIGHT AND BALANCE
6.4 SCOPE.
This section provides appropriate information required
for the computation of weight and balance for loading an
individual helicopter. The forms currently in use are the
DD Form 365 series. The crewmember has available the
current basic weight and moment which is obtained from
DD Form 365-3 (Chart C) for the individual helicopter.
This chapter contains weight and balance definitions; explanation of, and figures showing weights and moments of
variable load items.
6.5 WEIGHT DEFINITIONS.
a. Basic Weight. Basic weight of an aircraft is that
weight which includes all hydraulic systems and oil systems full, trapped and unusable fuel, and all fixed equipment, to which it is only necessary to add the crew, fuel,
cargo, and ammunition (if carried) to determine the gross
weight for the aircraft. The basic weight varies with structural modifications and changes of fixed aircraft equipment.
b. Operating Weight. Operating weight includes the basic weight plus aircrew, the aircrew’s baggage, and emergency and other equipment that may be required. Operating
weight does not include the weight of fuel, ammunition,
cargo, passengers or external auxiliary fuel tanks if such
tanks are to be disposed of during flight.
c. Gross Weight. Gross weight is the total weight of an
aircraft and its contents.
6.6 BALANCE DEFINITIONS.
6.6.1 Horizontal Reference Datum. The horizontal
reference datum line is an imaginary vertical plane at or
forward of the nose of the helicopter from which all horizontal distances are measured for balance purposes. Diagrams of each helicopter show this reference datum line as
balance station zero.
6.6.2 Arm. Arm, for balance purposes, is the horizontal
distance in inches from the reference datum line to the CG
of the item. Arm may be determined from the helicopter
diagram in Figure 6-1.
6.6.3 Moment. Moment is the weight of an item multiplied by its arm. Moment divided by a constant is generally
used to simplify balance calculations by reducing the number of digits. For this helicopter, moment/1000 has been
used.

6.6.4 Average Arm. Average arm is the arm obtained
by adding the weights and moments of a number of items,
and dividing the total moment by the total weight.
6.6.5 Basic Moment. Basic moment is the sum of the
moments for all items making up the basic weight. When
using data from an actual weighing of a helicopter, the
basic moment is the total of the basic helicopter with respect to the reference datum. Basic moment used for computing DD Form 365-4 is the last entry on DD Form 365-3
for the specific helicopter. Cargo Hook Moments and Rescue Hoist Moments are shown in Figures 6-7 and 6-8, respectively.
6.6.6 Center of Gravity (CG). Center of gravity is the
point about which a helicopter would balance if suspended.
Its distance from the reference datum line is found by dividing the total moment by the gross weight of the helicopter.
6.6.7 CG Limits. CG limits (Figures 6-13 and 6-14) defines the permissible range for CG stations. The CG of the
loaded helicopter must be within these limits at takeoff, in
the air, and on landing.
6.7 DD FORM 365-3 (CHART C) WEIGHT AND BALANCE RECORDS.
DD Form 365-3 (Chart C) is a continuous history of the
basic weight, moment, and balance, resulting from structural and equipment changes in service. At all times the last
weight, moment/constant, is considered the current weight
and balance status of the basic helicopter.
6.8 LOADING DATA.
The loading data in this chapter is intended to provide
information necessary to work a loading problem for the
helicopter. From the figures, weight and moment are obtained for all variable load items and are added arithmetically to the current basic weight and moment from DD
Form 365-3 (Chart C) to obtain the gross weight and moment. If the helicopter is loaded within the forward and aft
CG limits, the moment figure will fall numerically between
the limiting moments. The effect on the CG of the expenditures in flight of such items as fuel and cargo may be
checked by subtracting the weights and moments of such
items from the takeoff gross weight and moment, and
checking the new moment, with the CG limits chart. This
check should be made to determine whether or not the CG
will remain within limits during the entire flight.

6.9 DD FORM 365-4 (FORM F).
There are two versions of DD Form 365-4. Refer to TM

TM 1-1520-237-10

Section III FUEL/OIL
6.10 FUEL MOMENTS.

CAUTION

Fuel transfer sequence must be carefully
planned and executed in order to maintain CG within limits.
When operating with a light cabin load or
no load, it may be necessary to adjust fuel
load to remain within aft CG limits. Fuel
loading is likely to be more restricted on
those aircraft with the HIRSS installed.
For a given weight of fuel there is only a very small
variation in fuel moment with change in fuel specific
weight. Fuel moments should be determined from the line
on Figure 6-2 which represents the specific weight closest
to that of the fuel being used. The full tank usable fuel
weight will vary depending upon fuel specific weight. The
aircraft fuel gage system was designed for use with JP-4,

but does tend to compensate for other fuels and provide
acceptable readings. When possible the weight of fuel onboard should be determined by direct reference to the aircraft fuel gages. The following information is provided to
show the general range of fuel specific weights to be expected. Specific weight of fuel will vary depending on fuel
temperature. Specific weight will decrease as fuel temperature rises and increases as fuel temperature decreases at the
rate of approximately 0.1 lb/gal for each 15°C change. Specific weight may also vary between lots of the same type
fuel at the same temperature by as much as 0.5 lb/gal. The
following approximate fuel weights at 15°C may be used
for most mission planning:

Fuel Type

Specific Weight

JP-4

6.5 lb/gal.

JP-5

6.8 lb/gal.

JP-8

6.7 lb/gal.

Jet A

Section VI CARGO LOADING
6.15 CABIN DIMENSIONS.

c. The helicopter’s center of gravity.

Refer to Figure 6-9 for dimensions. For loading, and
weight and balance purposes, the helicopter fuselage is divided into six compartments, A through F, three of which
are in the cabin, C, D, and E. There are 17 tiedown fittings
rated at 5,000 pounds each. Cargo carrier restraint rings are
at stations 308 and 379, to cover the 71 inches of longitudinal space. Cargo tiedown devices are stored in the equipment stowage space of compartment F.

d. Floor loads for each item of cargo.
e. Any shoring that may be required.
f. When required, the location of the center of gravity of
an individual item of cargo.
6.20.2 Cargo Center of Gravity Planning. The detail
planning procedure consists of four steps, as follows:

6.16 CABIN DOORS.
Cabin doors are at the rear of the cargo compartment on
each side of the fuselage. The door openings are 54.5 inches
high and 69 inches wide; maximum package sizes accommodated by the openings are 54 inches high by 68 inches
wide and are shown on Figure 6-10.

a. Determine ALLOWABLE LOAD from LIMITATIONS section of DD Form 365-4.

6.17 MAXIMUM CARGO SIZE DIAGRAM FOR
LOADING THROUGH CABIN DOORS.

b. Plan the location in the helicopter for the individual
items of cargo. Since the CG of the load is determined by
the station method, then specific locations must be assigned
to each item of cargo.

Figure 6-10 shows the largest size of cargo of various
shapes that can be loaded into the cabin through the cabin
doors.

c. Determine the CG of the cargo load as planned. Regardless of the quantity, type, or size of cargo, use the
station method.

6.18 TIEDOWN
RINGS.

FITTINGS

AND

RESTRAINT

The 17 tiedown fittings (Figure 6-11) installed on the
cargo floor can restrain a 5,000-pound load in any direction. All tiedown fittings incorporate studs that are used to
install the troop seats. Eight net restraint rings in the cargo
compartment prevent cargo from hitting the bulkhead at
station 398, or entering the crew area. Each restraint ring is
rated at 3500-pound capacity in any direction.
6.19 EQUIPMENT STOWAGE COMPARTMENTS.
Equipment stowage compartment moments are shown in
Figure 6-12.
6.20 EQUIPMENT LOADING AND UNLOADING.
6.20.1 Data Prior to Loading. The following data
should be assembled or gathered by the loading crew before loading (Refer to FM 55-450-2, Army Helicopter Internal Load Operations):
a. Weight of the individual items of cargo.
b. Overall dimensions of each item of cargo (in inches).

d. Determine the CG of the fully-loaded helicopter from
Figures 6-13 and 6-14, and if the CG of the helicopter falls
within allowable limits. If it does, the cargo can be loaded.
If not, the planned location of the individual items must be
changed until an acceptable loading plan is obtained. When
cargo loads consists of more than one item, the heavier
items of cargo should be placed so that their CG is about in
the center of the cabin, and the lighter items of cargo are
forward and rear of them.
6.20.3 Restraint Criteria. The amount of restraint that
must be used to keep the cargo from moving in any direction is called the 9restraint criteria9 and is usually expressed
in units of the force of gravity, of Gs. Following are the
units of the force of gravity or Gs needed to restrain cargo
in four directions:

Cargo
Forward

12 Gs

Rear

3 Gs

Lateral

8 Gs

The data presented covers the maximum range of conditions and performance that can reasonably be expected.
In each area of performance, the effects of altitude, temperature, gross weight, and other parameters relating to that
phase of flight are presented. In addition to the presented
data, your judgment and experience will be necessary to

TM 1-1520-237-10

accurately obtain performance under a given set of circumstances. The conditions for the data are listed under the title
of each chart. The effects of different conditions are discussed in the text accompanying each phase of perfor-

mance. Where practical, data are presented at conservative
conditions. However, NO GENERAL CONSERVATISM
HAS BEEN APPLIED. All performance data presented are
within the applicable limits of the helicopter. All flight per-

formance data are based on JP-4 fuel. The change in fuel
flow and torque available, when using JP-5 or JP-8 aviation
fuel, or any other approved fuels, is insignificant.
7.4 LIMITS.

CAUTION

7.6 PERFORMANCE DISCREPANCIES.
Regular use of this chapter will allow you to monitor
instrument and other helicopter systems for malfunction, by
comparing actual performance with planned performance.
Knowledge will also be gained concerning the effects of
variables for which data is not provided, thereby increasing
the accuracy of performance predictions.
7.7 PERFORMANCE DATA BASIS - CLEAN.

Exceeding operating limits can cause permanent damage to critical components.
Overlimit operation can decrease performance, cause early failure, or failure on a
subsequent flight.
Applicable limits are shown on the charts. Performance
generally deteriorates rapidly beyond limits. If limits are
exceeded, minimize the amount and time. Enter the maximum value and time above limits on DA Form 2408-13-1,
so proper maintenance action can be taken.
7.5 USE OF CHARTS.
7.5.1 Dashed Line Data. Weights above 22,000 pounds
are limited to ferry missions for which an Airworthiness
Release is required. On some charts dashed line data are
shown for gross weights greater than 22,000 pounds.
7.5.2 Data Basis. The type of data used is indicated at
the bottom of each performance chart under DATA BASIS.
The data provided generally is based on one of three categories:
a. Flight test data. Data obtained by flight test of the
helicopter by experienced flight test personnel at precise
conditions using sensitive calibrated instruments.
b. Calculated data. Data based on tests, but not on flight
test of the complete helicopter.
c. Estimated data. Data based on estimates using aerodynamic theory or other means but not verified by flight
test.

The data presented in the performance charts are primarily derived for a clean UH-60A aircraft and are based on
U. S. Army test data. The clean configuration assumes all
doors and windows are closed and includes the following
external configuration:
a. Fixed provisions for the External Stores Support System (ESSS).
b. Main and tail rotor deice system.
c. Mounting brackets for IR jammer and chaff dispenser.
d. The Hover Infrared Suppressor System (HIRSS) with
baffles installed.
e. Includes wire strike protection system.
NOTE
Aircraft which have an external configuration which differs from the clean configuration may be corrected for drag differences
on cruise performance as discussed in Section VI DRAG.
7.8 PERFORMANCE DATA BASIS - HIGH DRAG.
The data presented in the high drag performance charts
are primarily derived for the UH-60A with the ESSS system installed and the 230-gallon tanks mounted on the outboard pylons, and are based on U. S. Army test data. The
high drag configuration assumes all doors and windows are
closed and includes the following external configuration:
a. External stores support system installed.

7.5.3 Specific Conditions. The data presented is accurate only for specific conditions listed under the title of
each chart. Variables for which data is not presented, but
which may affect that phase of performance, are discussed
in the text. Where data is available or reasonable estimates
can be made, the amount that each variable affects performance will be given.

b. Two 230-gallon tanks mounted on the outboard pylons.
c. Inboard vertical pylons empty.
d. IR jammer and chaff dispenser installed.

Section II MAXIMUM TORQUE AVAILABLE
7.10 TORQUE FACTOR METHOD.

7.11 MAXIMUM TORQUE AVAILABLE CHART.

The torque factor method provides an accurate indication of available power by incorporating ambient temperature effects on degraded engine performance. This section
presents the procedure to determine the maximum dual- or
single-engine torque available for the T700-GE-700 engine
as installed in each individual aircraft. Specification power
is defined for a newly delivered low time engine. The aircraft HIT log forms for each engine, provide the engine and
aircraft torque factors which are obtained from the maximum power check and recorded to be used in calculating
maximum torque available.

This chart (Figure 7-3) presents the maximum specification torque available at zero airspeed and 100% RPM R for
the operational range of pressure altitude and FAT. The
single- and dual-engine transmission limits for continuous
operation are shown and should not be exceeded. The engine torque available data above the single-engine transmission limit is presented as dashed lines and is required
for determining torque available when TR values are below
1.0. When the TR equals 1.0, the maximum torque available may be read from the horizontal specification torque
available per engine scale. When the TR value is less than
1.0, the maximum torque available is determined by multiplying the TR by the specification torque available. The
lower portion of Figure 7-3 presents TR correction lines
which may be used in place of multiplication to read torque
available per engine directly from the vertical scale.

7.10.1 Torque Factor Terms. The following terms are
used when determining the maximum torque available for
an individual aircraft:
a. Torque Ratio (TR). The ratio of torque available to
specification torque at the desired ambient temperature.
b. Engine Torque Factor (ETF). The ratio of an individual engine torque available to specification torque at reference temperature of 35°C. The ETF is allowed to range
from 0.85 to 1.0.
c. Aircraft Torque Factor (ATF). The ratio of an individual aircraft’s power available to specification power at a
reference temperature of 35°C. The ATF is the average of
the ETF’s of both engines and its value is allowed to range
from 0.9 to 1.0.
7.10.2 Torque Factor Procedure. The use of the ATF
or ETF to obtain the TR from Figure 7-2 for ambient temperatures between -15°C and 35°C is shown by the example. The ATF and ETF values for an individual aircraft
are found on the engine HIT Log. The TR always equals
1.0 for ambient temperatures of -15°C and below, and the
TR equals the ATF or ETF for temperatures of 35°C and
above. For these cases, and for an ATF or ETF value of 1.0,
Figure 7-2 need not be used.

7-6

7.12 ENGINE BLEED AIR.
With engine bleed air turned on, the maximum available
torque is reduced as follows:
a. Engine Anti-Ice On: Reduce torque determined from
Figure 7-3 by a constant 16% TRQ. Example: (90% TRQ16% TRQ) = 74% TRQ.
b. Cockpit Heater On: Reduce torque available by 4%
TRQ.
c. Both On: Reduce torque available by 20% TRQ.
7.13 INFRARED SUPPRESSOR SYSTEM.
When the hover IR suppressor system is installed and
operating in the benign mode exhaust (baffles removed) the
maximum torque available is increased about 1% TRQ.
When an IR suppressor system is not installed, maximum
torque available is also increased about 1%.

Section III HOVER
7.14 HOVER CHART.
NOTE
VOL For performance calculations with
volcano system installed, use the applicable
high drag performance charts.

a. The primary use of the chart (Figures 7-4 through
7-5) is illustrated by part A of the example. To determine
the torque required to hover, it is necessary to know pressure altitude, free air temperature, gross weight, and desired
wheel height. Enter the upper right grid at the known free
air temperature, move right to the pressure altitude, move
down to gross weight. For OGE hover, move left to the
torque per engine scale and read torque required. For IGE
hover, move left to desired wheel height, deflect down and
read torque required for dual-engine or single-engine operation. The IGE wheel height lines represent a compromise for all possible gross weights and altitude conditions.
A small torque error up to 63% torque may occur at extreme temperature and high altitude. This error is more evident at lower wheel heights.
b. In addition to the primary use, the hover chart (Figure
7-4) may be used to predict maximum hover height. To
determine maximum hover height, it is necessary to know
pressure altitude, free air temperature, gross weight, and
maximum torque available. Enter the known free air temperature move right to the pressure altitude, move down to

gross weight, move left to intersection with maximum
torque available and read wheel height. This wheel height
is the maximum hover height.
c. The hover chart may also be used to determine maximum gross weight for hover at a given wheel height, pressure altitude, and temperature as illustrated in method B of
the example (Figure 7-4). Enter at known free air temperature, move right to the pressure altitude, then move down
and establish a vertical line on the lower grid. Now enter
lower left grid at maximum torque available. Move up to
wheel height, then move right to intersect vertical line from
pressure altitude/FAT intersection. Interpolate from gross
weight lines to read maximum gross weight at which the
helicopter will hover.
7.15 EFFECTS OF BLADE EROSION KIT.
With the blade erosion kit installed, it will be necessary
to make the following corrections. Multiply the torque required to hover determined from the charts by 1.02. (Example: If indicated torque is 90%, multiply 90 x 1.02 =
91.8% actual torque required.) Multiply the maximum gross
weight to hover obtained from the charts by 0.98. (Example: If gross weight is 22,000 lb, multiply by 0.98 =
21,560 lb actual gross weight to hover.) When determining
maximum hover wheel height, enter the chart at 1.02 x
gross weight. (Example: If gross weight is 20,000 lb, multiply 20,000 x 1.02 = 20,400 lb).

Section IV CRUISE
7.16 DESCRIPTION.
The cruise charts (Figures 7-6 through 7-28) present
torque required and total fuel flow as a function of airspeed,
altitude, temperature, and gross weight at 100% rotor speed.
Scales for both true airspeed and indicated airspeed are
presented. The baseline aircraft configuration for these
charts was the 9clean and high drag9 configuration as defined in Section I. Each cruise chart also presents the
change in torque ( TRQ) required for 10 sq. ft. of additional flat plate drag with a dashed line on a separate scale.
This line is utilized to correct torque required for external
loads as discussed in Section VI DRAG. Maximum level
flight airspeed (Vh) is obtained at the intersection of gross
weight arc and torque available - 30 minutes or the transmission torque limit, whichever is lower. Airspeeds that
will produce maximum range, maximum endurance, and
maximum rate of climb are also shown. Cruise charts are
provided from sea level to 20,000 feet pressure altitude in
units of 2,000 feet. Each figure number represents a different altitude. The charts provide cruise data for free air temperatures from -50° to +60°C, in units of 10°. Charts with
FAT’s that exceed the engine ambient temperature limits
by more than 10°C are deleted.
7.17 USE OF CHARTS.
The primary uses of the charts are illustrated by the
examples of Figure 7-6. To use the charts, it is usually
necessary to know the planned pressure altitude, estimated
free air temperature, planned cruise speed, TAS, and gross
weight. First, select the proper chart on the basis of pressure altitude and FAT. Enter the chart at the cruise airspeed, IAS, move horizontal and read TAS, move horizontal to the gross weight, move down and read torque
required, and then move up and read associated fuel flow.
Maximum performance conditions are determined by entering the chart where the maximum range line or the maximum endurance and rate of climb line intersects the gross
weight line; then read airspeed, fuel flow, and torque required. Normally, sufficient accuracy can be obtained by
selecting the chart nearest the planned cruising altitude and
FAT or, more conservatively, by selecting the chart with
the next higher altitude and FAT. If greater accuracy is
required, interpolation between altitudes and/or temperatures is permissible. To be conservative, use the gross
weight at the beginning of the cruise flight. For greater
accuracy on long flights, however, it is preferable to determine cruise information for several flight segments to allow
for the decreasing gross weight.

a. Airspeed. True and indicated airspeeds are presented
at opposite sides of each chart. On any chart, indicated
airspeed can be directly converted to true airspeed (or vice
versa) by reading directly across the chart without regard
for the other chart information. The level flight airspeed
calibration for aircraft with wedge mounted pitot static
probes (hard points only) was used to convert indicated to
true airspeed.
b. Torque. Since pressure altitude and temperature are
fixed for each chart, torque required varies according to
gross weight and airspeed. The torque and torque limits
shown on these charts are for dual-engine operation. The
maximum torque available is presented on each chart as
either the transmission torque limit or torque available - 30
minute for both ATF-1.0 and 0.9 values. The maximum
torque available for aircraft with an ATF value between
these shall be interpolated. The continuous torque available
values shown represent the minimum torque available for
ATF’s of 0.95 or greater. For ATF’s less than 0.95 maximum continuous torque available may be slightly reduced.
Higher torque than that represented by these lines may be
used if it is available without exceeding the limitations presented in Chapter 5. An increase or decrease in torque required because of a drag area change is calculated by adding or subtracting the change in torque from the torque on
the curve, and then reading the new fuel flow total.
c. Fuel Flow. Fuel flow scales are provided opposite the
torque scales. On any chart, torque may be converted directly to fuel flow without regard to other chart information. Data shown in this section is for two-engine operation.
For one-engine fuel flow, refer to Section VIII FUEL
FLOW.
(1) With bleed-air extracted, fuel flow increases:
(a) Engine anti-ice on -About 60 lbs/hr Example:
(760 lbs/hr + 60 lbs/hr = 820 lbs/hr.)
(b) Heater on - About 20 lbs/hr.
(c) Both on - About 80 lbs/hr.
(2) When the cruise IR suppressors are removed or
hover IR suppressor system is installed and operating in the
benign mode (exhaust baffles removed), the dual-engine
fuel flow will decrease about 16 lbs/hr.
d. Maximum Range. The maximum range lines (MAX
RANGE) indicate the combinations of gross weight and

7-13

TM 1-1520-237-10

airspeed that will produce the greatest flight range per
pound of fuel under zero wind conditions. When maximum
range airspeed line is above the maximum torque available,
the resulting maximum airspeed should be used for maximum range. A method of estimating maximum range speed
in winds is to increase IAS by 2.5 knots per each 10 knots
of effective headwind (which reduces flight time and minimizes loss in range) and decrease IAS by 2.5 knots per 10
knots of effective tailwind for economy.
e. Maximum Endurance and Rate of Climb. The maximum endurance and rate of climb lines (MAX END and
R/C) indicate the combinations of gross weight and airspeed that will produce the maximum endurance and the
maximum rate of climb. The torque required for level flight
at this condition is a minimum, providing a minimum fuel
flow (maximum endurance) and a maximum torque change
available for climb (maximum rate of climb).

ally result in cruise at best range airspeed for the higher
drag configuration. To determine the approximate airspeed
for maximum range for alternative or external load configurations, reduce the value from the cruise chart by 6 knots
for each 10 square foot increase in drag area,
F. For
example, if both cabin doors are open the F increases 6
ft2 and the maximum range airspeed would be reduced by
approximately 4 knots (6 Kts/10 ft236 ft2 = 3.6 Kts).
g. Additional Uses. The low speed end of the cruise
chart (below 40 knots) is shown primarily to familiarize
you with the low speed power requirements of the helicopter. It shows the power margin available for climb or acceleration during maneuvers, such as NOE flight. At zero airspeed, the torque represents the torque required to hover
out of ground effect. In general, mission planning for low
speed flight should be based on hover out of ground effect.
7.18 SINGLE-ENGINE.

f. Change in Frontal Area. Since the cruise information
is given for the 9clean configuration,9 adjustments to torque
should be made when operating with external sling loads or
aircraft external configuration changes. To determine the
change in torque, first obtain the appropriate multiplying
factor from the drag load chart (Figure 7-30), then enter the
cruise chart at the planned cruise speed TAS, move right to
TRQ line, and move up and read
TRQ.
the broken
Multiply
TRQ by the multiplying factor to obtain change
in torque, then add or subtract change in torque from torque
required for the primary mission configuration. Enter the
cruise chart at resulting torque required, move up, and read
fuel flow. If the resulting torque required exceeds the governing torque limit, the torque required must be reduced to
the limit. The resulting reduction in airspeed may be found
by subtracting the change in torque from the limit torque;
then enter the cruise chart at the reduced torque, and move
up to the gross weight. Move left or right to read TAS or
IAS. The engine torque setting for maximum range obtained from the clean configuration cruise chart will gener-

7-14

a. The minimum or maximum single-engine speeds can
be determined by using a combination of the 700 torque
available and cruise charts. To calculate single-engine
speeds, first determine the torque available from Section II
at the TGT limit desired and divide by 2. (Example: 90%
TRQ42 = 45% TRQ.)
b. Select the appropriate cruise chart for the desired
flight condition and enter the torque scale with the torque
value derived above. Move up to the intersection of torque
available and the mission gross weight arc, and read across
for minimum single-engine airspeed. Move up to the second intersection of torque and weight, and read across to
determine the maximum single-engine speed. If no intersections occur, there is no single-engine level flight capability for the conditions. Single-engine fuel flow at the desired 10 minute, 30 minute, continuous conditions may be
obtained by doubling the torque required from the cruise
chart and referring to Figure 7–34.

Section V OPTIMUM CRUISE
7.19 OPTIMUM RANGE CHARTS.
This section presents a method to optimize cruise performance for long range missions when the altitudes flown
are not restricted by other requirements. The optimum altitude for maximum range chart (Figure 7-29) provides the
pressure altitude at which to cruise to obtain the maximum
possible range for any gross weight and FAT conditions.

7-132

The altitude determined for optimum range may also be
used for optimum endurance. Enter the chart at a current
cruise or takeoff temperature condition and move along the
temperature guide lines to the anticipated gross weight for
cruise and obtain the optimum pressure altitude. Turn to the
cruise chart closest to the altitude and temperature predicted
by the optimum range chart for specific cruise information.
The use of this chart is shown by the example.

7.20 EXTERNAL LOAD DRAG CHART.
The general shapes of typical external loads are shown
on Figure 7-30 as a function of the load frontal area. The
frontal area is combined with the typical drag coefficient of
the general shapes to obtain a drag multiplying factor for
use with the 10 sq. ft. drag scale on each cruise chart. The
TRQ ˜% value obtained from the cruise chart is multiplied by the drag multiplying factor and added to indicated
torque to obtain total torque required at any airspeed.

The CLIMB/DESCENT chart (Figures 7-32 and 7-33)
presents the rate of climb or descent resulting from an increase or decrease of engine torque from the value required
for level flight above 40 KIAS. The data are presented at
100% RPM R for various gross weights. The charts may
also be used in reverse to obtain the torque increase or

reduction required to achieve a desired steady rate of climb
or descent. The maximum R/C may be determined by subtracting the cruise chart torque required from the maximum
torque available at the desired flight conditions. Then enter
the difference on the torque increase scale of the climb
chart, move up to the gross weight, and read the resulting
maximum R/C.

Section VIII FUEL FLOW
7.24 IDLE FUEL FLOW.

(c) Both on - About 40 lbs/hr

Dual-engine idle fuel flow is presented as a function of
altitude at 0°C FAT in Table 7-2. The data are based on
operation at 62% to 69% Ng for idle and 85% to 89% for
flat pitch (collective full down) at 100% RPM R. Fuel flow
for the auxiliary power unit (APU) is also presented for a
nominal load of 80% maximum power as a function of
altitude and 0°C FAT for general planning.
7.25 SINGLE-ENGINE FUEL FLOW.
a. Engine fuel flow is presented in Figure 7-34 for various torque and pressure altitudes at a baseline FAT of 0°C
with engine bleed air extraction off. When operating at
other than 0°C FAT, engine fuel flow is increased 1% for
each 20°C above the baseline temperature and, decreased
1% for each 20°C below the baseline temperature.
b. To determine single-engine fuel flow during cruise,
enter the fuel flow chart at double the torque required for
dual-engine cruise as determined from the cruise charts and
obtain fuel flow from the single-engine scale. The singleengine torque may not exceed the transmission limit shown
on the chart. With bleed air on, single-engine fuel flow
increases as follows:

(2) When the IR suppressor system is installed and
operating in the benign mode (exhaust baffles removed),
the single-engine fuel flow will decrease about 8 lbs/hr.
7.26 DUAL-ENGINE FUEL FLOW.
Dual-engine fuel flow for level flight is presented on the
cruise charts in Section IV. For other conditions dualengine fuel flow may be obtained from Figure 7-34 when
each engine is indicating approximately the same torque by
averaging the indicated torques and reading fuel flow from
the dual-engine fuel flow scale. When operating at other
than the 0° FAT baseline, dual-engine fuel flow is increased
1% for each 20°C above baseline and is decreased 1% for
each 20°C below baseline temperature. With bleed air on,
dual-engine fuel flow increases as follows:
a. With bleed-air extracted, fuel flow increases:
(1) Engine anti-ice on -About 60 lbs/hr
Example: (760 lbs/hour = 820 lbs/hr).
(2) Heater on - About 20 lbs/hr
(3) Both on - About 80 lbs/hr

(1) With bleed-air extracted, fuel flow increases:
(a) Engine anti-ice on - About 30 lbs/hr
(b) Heater on - About 10 lbs/hr

b. When the cruise or hover IR suppressor system is
installed and operating in the benign mode (exhaust baffles
removed), the dual-engine fuel flow will decrease about 16
lbs/hr.

Section IX AIRSPEED SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS
7.27 AIRSPEED SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS
NOTE
Indicated airspeeds below 40 KIAS are unreliable. Airspeed conversion data KIAS to
KTAS for speeds above 40 KIAS are provided in Section IV CRUISE.
There are two different pitot-static systems on the UH60A. The type of airspeed system may be determined from
the mounting of the pitot-static probes on the cabin roof.
The pitot-static probes were originally flush mounted, the
modified pitot-static probes are mounted on a wedge which
rotates the pitot tube 20° further outboard and 3° nose
down. The wedge is covered by an aerodynamic fairing to
prevent ice accretion. The modified airspeed system was
used to derive the IAS presented on the charts in this
manual.
7.28 AIRSPEED CHARTS.
7.28.1 Airspeed Correction Charts. All indicated airspeeds shown on the cruise charts are based on level flight
of an aircraft with wedge mounted pitot static probes. Figures 7-35 through 7-37 provide the airspeed correction to
be added to the cruise chart IAS values to determine the
related airspeed indicator reading for other than level flight
mode. There are small variations in airspeed system errors
in level flight between those aircraft with wedge mounted
pitot static probes and those without wedge mounted pitot
static probes. Correction for these small variations is not
normally warranted. There are relatively large variations in
airspeed system error associated with climbs and descents.

These errors are significant and Figures 7-35 through 7-37
are provided primarily to show the general magnitude and
direction of the errors associated with the various flight
modes. If desired, these figures may be used in the manner
shown by the examples to calculate specific airspeed corrections.
7.28.2 Airspeed System Dynamic Characteristics.
The dynamic characteristics of the pilot and copilot airspeed indicating systems are normally satisfactory. However, the following anomalies in the airspeed and IVSI indicating system may be observed during the following
maneuvers or conditions:
a. During takeoffs, in the speed range of 40 to 80 KIAS,
5 to 10 KIAS airspeed fluctuation may be observed on the
pilot’s and copilot’s airspeed indicators.
b. Power changes in high power, low airspeed climbs
may cause as much as 30 knot airspeed changes in indicated airspeed. Increase in power causes increase in indicated airspeed, and a decrease in power causes decrease in
indicated airspeed.
c. The pilot and copilot airspeed indicators may be unreliable during high power climbs at low airspeeds (less
than 50 KIAS) with the copilot system reading as much as
30 knots lower than the pilot system.
d. On aircraft with wedge mounted pitot static probes
kit, in-flight opening and closing of doors and windows
may cause momentary fluctuations of approximately 300
feet per minute on the vertical speed indicators.

Section X SPECIAL MISSION PERFORMANCE
7.29 SPECIAL MISSION FLIGHT PROFILES.
Figures 7-38 through 7-40 show special mission flight
profiles required to obtain near maximum range when
equipped with the ESSS in three different tank configurations. The upper segment of each chart provides the recommended altitude profile along with the IAS and average
TRQ versus distance traveled. An average value of elapsed
time is also presented on the lower axis of the altitude
scale. The lower segment of each chart provides the relationship between fuel remaining and distance traveled resulting from the flight profile shown. This portion may be
utilized to check actual inflight range data to provide assurance that adequate range is being achieved. The chart is
divided into 3 regions of Adequate Range, Inadequate
range-return to base, and Inadequate range-requiring emergency action. When an inflight range point is in the Adequate range region, the required mission range can be obtained by staying on the recommended flight profile.
However, the range may not be achieved if stronger headwinds are encountered as the flight progresses, and normal
pilot judgement must be used. These charts also assume
that the flight track is within proper navigational limits.
Standard temperature variation with PA is shown on the
upper segment of the charts. A general correction for temperature variation is to decrease IAS by 2.5 KTS and total
distance traveled by 0.5% for each 10°C above standard.
Detailed flight planning must always be made for the actual
aircraft configuration, fuel load, and flight conditions when
maximum range is required. This data is based on JP-4 fuel.
It can be used with JP-5 or JP-8, aviation gasoline, or any
other approved fuels ONLY IF THE TAKEOFF GROSS
WEIGHT AND THE FUEL LOAD WEIGHT MATCH
THE DATA AT THE TOP OF THE CHART. The Flight
Time and the Distance Traveled data SHOULD NOT be
used with any full tank configuration if the fuel density is
not approximately 6.5 lb/gal (JP-4 fuel).
a. SELF-DEPLOYMENT MISSION. The selfdeployment mission is shown in Figure 7-38 and the ESSS
is configured with two 230-gallon tanks outboard and two
450-gallon tanks inboard. In this configuration, the aircraft
holds in excess of 11,000 lb of JP4 fuel and has a take-off
gross weight of 24,500 pounds in order to achieve the desired mission range of 1,150 Nm. This gross weight is allowed for ferry missions only, requiring low load factors

and less than 30 degree angle banked turns. This mission
was calculated for a standard day with a constant 10 knot
headwind added to be conservative. Since there may not be
any emergency landing areas available, the mission should
not be attempted if headwinds in excess of 10 knots are
forecast. Take-off must be made with a minimum of fuel
used (60 pounds) for engine start and warm-up, and a climb
to 2,000 feet should be made with maximum power and
airspeed between 80 and 105 KIAS. The first segment
should be maintained at 2,000 feet and 105 KIAS for 2
hours. The average engine TRQ should be about 79% for
this segment, but will initially be a little more and gradually
decrease. Altitude is increased in 2,000 feet increments to
maintain the optimum altitude for maximum range to account for fuel burn. The first 2 segments are for 2 hours
each, followed by 1 hour segments until reaching 10,000
feet. At this altitude, the airspeed for best range should also
be reduced to 95 KIAS for the remainder of the flight.
Engine bleed air was assumed to be off for this mission
except for that required for fuel tank pressurization. Electrical cabin heat may be used. Removal of the HIRSS
baffles (benign mode) will reduce fuel flow by about 16
lbs/hr. If oxygen is available, continuation of the staircase
climb sequence to 15,500 feet PA will result in about 23
additional Nm of range capability.
b. ASSAULT MISSION PROFILE - 4 tanks. The assault mission profile is shown in Figure 7-39 with the ESSS
configured with four 230-gallon tanks. In this configuration, the aircraft holds in excess of 8,300 pounds of JP4
fuel and assumes a take-off gross weight of 22,000 pounds
which provides a maximum mission range of 1140 Nm
with 400 lbs reserve. This mission was calculated for a
standard day with a zero headwind. Take-off must be made
with a minimum of fuel used (80 pounds) for engine start
and warm-up, and a Climb to 4,000 feet should be made
with maximum power and airspeed between 80 and 108
KIAS. The first segment should be maintained at 4,000 feet
and 108 KIAS for 1 hour. The average engine TRQ should
be about 79% for this segment, but will initially be a little
more and gradually decrease. Altitude is increased in 2,000
feet increments to maintain the optimum altitude for maximum range to account for fuel burn. The segments are for 1
hour each, until reaching 10,000 feet. At this altitude, the
airspeed for best range should be reduced to 95 KIAS for
the remainder of the flight.

7-147

TM 1-1520-237-10

c. ASSAULT MISSION PROFILE - 2 tanks. The assault mission profile is shown in Figure 7-40 with the ESSS
configured with two 230-gallon tanks. In this configuration,
the aircraft holds in excess of 5,300 pounds of JP4 fuel and
assumes a take-off gross weight of 22,000 pounds which
provides a maximum mission range of 630 Nm. with 400 lb
reserve. This mission was calculated for a standard day
with a zero headwind. Take-off must be made with a minimum of fuel used (80 lbs) for engine start and warm-up,

and a Climb to 4,000 feet should be made with max power
and airspeed between 80 and 108 KIAS. The first segment
should be maintained at 4,000 feet and 108 KIAS for 1
hour. The average engine TRQ should be about 77% for
this segment, but will initially be a little more and gradually
decrease as shown on each segment. Altitude is increased
in 2,000 feet increments to maintain the optimum altitude
for maximum range to account for fuel burn. At this altitude, the airspeed for best range should also be reduced to
95 KIAS for the remainder of the flight.

EXAMPLE:
WANTED:
Assurance of adequate aircraft range for mission defined.
KNOWN:
Flight position: 300 nm from base
Flight Track Within Limits
Fuel Remaining = 7,800 pounds
Elapsed flight time = 2 HRS, 50 MINS (2.83 HRS)
Target: Normal Flight Conditions:
Airspeed = 105 KIAS
Press Alt = 4,000 feet
Approx Torque = 75%
METHOD:
(1)

Enter chart at total distance flown and at fuel remaining, move to intersection and plot point. If point
falls on or above fuel remaining line (adequate range), remaining fuel is adequate to complete the
mission. If point falls below the fuel remaining line in the inadequate range, abort mission region,
immediately return to departure point while continuing to utilize altitide profile using total elapsed
flight time (see item 2). If point falls below the fuel remaining line in the inadequate range, region,
consult emergency procedures for corrective action.

(2)

To determine target nominial flight conditions, enter upper chart at elapsed flight time and move up
to determine target airspeed, approximate torque, and pressure altitude.

a. The purpose of this chapter is to provide the best
available performance data for the UH-60L. Regular use of
this information will enable you to receive maximum safe
utilization of the helicopter. Although maximum performance is not always required, regular use of this chapter is
recommended for these reasons:
(1) Knowledge of your performance margin will allow
you to make better decisions when unexpected conditions
or alternate missions are encountered.

b. The information is primarily intended for mission
planning and is most useful when planning operations in
unfamiliar areas or at extreme conditions. The data may
also be used in flight, to establish unit or area standard
operating procedures, and to inform ground commanders of
performance/risk tradeoffs.

7A.3 GENERAL.
The data presented covers the maximum range of conditions and performance that can reasonably be expected.
In each area of performance, the effects of altitude, temperature, gross weight, and other parameters relating to that
phase of flight are presented. In addition to the presented
data, your judgment and experience will be necessary to
accurately obtain performance under a given set of circumstances. The conditions for the data are listed under the title
of each chart. The effects of different conditions are discussed in the text accompanying each phase of performance. Where practical, data are presented at conservative
conditions. However, NO GENERAL CONSERVATISM
HAS BEEN APPLIED. All performance data presented are
within the applicable limits of the helicopter. All flight per

TM 1-1520-237-10

formance data are based on JP-4 fuel. The change in fuel
flow and torque available, when using JP-5 or JP-8 aviation
fuel or any other approved fuels is insignificant.
7A.4 LIMITS.

7A.7 PERFORMANCE DATA BASIS - CLEAN.
The data presented in the performance charts are primarily derived for a clean UH-60L aircraft and are based on
U. S. Army test data. The clean configuration assumes all
doors and windows are closed and includes the following
external configuration:

CAUTION

Exceeding operating limits can cause permanent damage to critical components.
Overlimit operation can decrease performance, cause early failure, or failure on a
subsequent flight.
Applicable limits are shown on the charts. Performance
generally deteriorates rapidly beyond limits. If limits are
exceeded, minimize the amount and time. Enter the maximum value and time above limits on DA Form 2408-13-1
so proper maintenance action can be taken.
7A.5 USE OF CHARTS.
7A.5.1 Data Basis. The type of data used is indicated at
the bottom of each performance chart under DATA BASIS.
The data provided generally is based on one of three categories:
a. Flight test data. Data obtained by flight test of the
helicopter by experienced flight test personnel at precise
conditions using sensitive calibrated instruments.
b. Calculated data. Data based on tests, but not on flight
test of the complete helicopter.
c. Estimated data. Data based on estimates using aerodynamic theory or other means but not verified by flight
test.
7A.5.2 Specific Conditions. The data presented is accurate only for specific conditions listed under the title of
each chart. Variables for which data is not presented, but
which may affect that phase of performance, are discussed
in the text. Where data is available or reasonable estimates
can be made, the amount that each variable affects performance will be given.
7A.6 PERFORMANCE DISCREPANCIES.
Regular use of this chapter will allow you to monitor
instrument and other helicopter systems for malfunction, by
comparing actual performance with planned performance.
Knowledge will also be gained concerning the effects of
variables for which data is not provided, thereby increasing
the accuracy of performance predictions.

a. Fixed provisions for the External Stores Support System (ESSS).
b. Main and tail rotor deice system.
c. Mounting brackets for IR jammer and chaff dispenser.
d. The Hover Infrared Suppressor System (HIRSS) with
baffles installed.
e. Includes wire strike protection system.
NOTE
Aircraft which have an external configuration which differs from the clean configuration may be corrected for drag differences
on cruise performance as discussed in Section VI DRAG.
7A.8 PERFORMANCE DATA BASIS - HIGH DRAG.
The data presented in the high drag performance charts
are primarily derived for the UH-60L with the ESSS system installed and two 230-gallon tanks mounted on the outboard pylons, and are based on U. S. Army test data. The
high drag configuration assumes all doors and windows are
closed and includes the following external configuration:
a. External stores support system installed.
b. Two 230–gallon tanks mounted on the outboard pylons.
c. Inboard vertical pylons empty.
d. IR jammer and chaff dispenser installed.
e. Hover Infrared Suppressor System (HIRSS) with
baffles are installed.
f. Main and tail rotor deice and wire strike protection
systems are installed.

Section II MAXIMUM TORQUE AVAILABLE
7A.10 TORQUE FACTOR METHOD.
The torque factor method provides an accurate indication of available power by incorporating ambient temperature effects on degraded engine performance. This section
presents the procedure to determine the maximum dual- or
single-engine torque available. Specification power is defined for a newly delivered low time engine. The aircraft
HIT log forms for each engine provide the engine and aircraft torque factors which are obtained from the maximum
power check and recorded to be used in calculating maximum torque available.
7A.10.1 Torque Factor Terms. The following terms
are used when determining the maximum torque available
for an individual aircraft:
a. Torque Ratio (TR). The ratio of torque available to
specification torque at the desired ambient temperature.
b. Engine Torque Factor (ETF). The ratio of an individual engine torque available to specification torque at reference temperature of 35°C (95°F). The ETF is allowed to
range from .85 to 1.0.
c. Aircraft Torque Factor (ATF). The ratio of an individual aircraft’s power available to specification power at a
reference temperature of 35°C (95°F). The ATF is the average of the ETF’s of both engines and its value is allowed
to range from 0.9 to 1.0.
7A.10.2 Torque Factor Procedure. The use of the
ATF or ETF to obtain the TR from Figure 7A-2 for ambient temperatures between -15°C (5°F) and 35°C (95°F) is
shown by the example. The ATF and ETF values for an
individual aircraft are found on the engine HIT Log. The
TR always equals 1.0 for ambient temperatures of -15°C
(5°F) and below, and the TR equals the ATF or ETF for
temperatures of 35°C (95°F) and above.
7A.11 TORQUE AVAILABLE.
a. This section presents the maximum dual-engine
torque available for the 2.5-minute, 10-minute and 30minute limits at zero airspeed and 100% RPM R for the
operational range of pressure altitude and FAT. The singleand dual-engine transmission limits for continuous operation are also shown and should not be exceeded.

7A-6

Change 6

CAUTION

Do not exceed the UH-60L DUAL ENGINE TORQUE LIMITS in Chapter 5.
These torque limits are presented in Figure 7A-5 and on the TORQUE PLACARD mounted on the instrument panel.
b. When the TR equals 1.0, the torque available may be
read directly from the torque available per engine scales.
When the TR is less than 1.0, the actual torque available is
determined by multiplying the specification torque available by the TR (example for TR = 0.98: 90% TRQ x 0.98
= 88.2% TRQ). The torque conversion chart (Figure 7A-3)
is provided to convert specification data to actual torque
available.
7A.11.1 Torque Available - 2.5 Minutes. Figure 7A-4
presents the specification torque available at 903°C TGT
per engine for the 2.5 minute limit. Contingency (2.5
Minute) Power is automatically available when any one
engine torque is less than 50% or when the pilot selects
DEC LOCKOUT and manually maintains the 2.5 minute
TGT limit.
7A.11.2 Torque Available - 10 Minutes. Figure 7A-4
presents the specification torque available per engine for
the 10 minute limit. This is the maximum dual-engine
torque available and is set by the TGT limiter in dualengine operation. For one engine operation, the pilot must
maintain the 10 minute TGT limit.
7A.11.3 Torque Available - 30 Minutes. Figure 7A-4
presents the specification torque available per engine for
the 30 minute limit. The pilot must manually maintain the
30 minute TGT limit.
7A.12 ENGINE BLEED AIR.
With engine bleed air on, the available torque per engine
is reduced as follows:
a. Engine anti-ice on - 18% TRQ
(example: 90% TRQ - 18% TRQ = 72% TRQ).
b. Cockpit heater on - 4% TRQ.

TM 1-1520-237-10

c. Both on - 22% TRQ.

7A.13 INFRARED SUPPRESSOR SYSTEM.
When the IR suppressor is OPERATING IN THE BENIGN MODE (exhaust baffles removed) the torque available is increased about 1% TRQ.

Section III HOVER
7A.15 HOVER CHART.
NOTE
VOL For performance calculations with
the volcano system installed, use the applicable high drag performance charts.

a. The primary use of the chart (Figures 7A-6 and 7A-7)
is illustrated by part A of the example. To determine the
torque required to hover, it is necessary to know pressure
altitude, free air temperature, gross weight, and desired
wheel height. Enter the upper right grid at the known free
air temperature, move right to the pressure altitude, move
down to gross weight. For OGE hover, move left to torque
per engine scale and read torque required. For IGE hover,
move left to desired wheel height, deflect down and read
torque required for dual-engine or single-engine operation.
The IGE wheel height lines represent a compromise for all
possible gross weights and altitude conditions. A small
torque error up to 6 3% torque may occur at extreme temperature and high altitude. This error is more evident at
lower wheel heights.
b. In addition to the primary use, the hover chart (Figure
7A-6) may be used to predict maximum hover height. To
determine maximum hover height, it is necessary to know
pressure altitude, free air temperature, gross weight, and
maximum torque available. Enter the known free air temperature move right to the pressure altitude, move down to

gross weight, move left to intersection with maximum
torque available and read wheel height. This wheel height
is the maximum hover height.
c. The hover chart may also be used to determine maximum gross weight for hover at a given wheel height, pressure altitude, and temperature as illustrated in method B of
the example (Figure 7A-6). Enter at known free air temperature, move right to the pressure altitude, then move
down and establish a vertical line on the lower grid. Now
enter lower left grid at maximum torque available. Move up
to wheel height, then move right to intersect vertical line
from pressure altitude/FAT intersection. Interpolate from
gross weight lines to read maximum gross weight at which
the helicopter will hover.
7A.16 EFFECTS OF BLADE EROSION KIT.
With the blade erosion kit installed, it will be necessary
to make the following corrections. Multiply the torque required to hover determined from the charts by 1.02. (Example: If indicated torque is 90%, multiply 90 x 1.02 =
91.8% actual torque required.) Multiply the maximum gross
weight to hover obtained from the charts by 0.98. (Example: If gross weight is 22,000 lb, multiply by 0.98 =
21,560 lb actual gross weight to hover.) When determining
maximum hover wheel height, enter the chart at 1.02 x
gross weight. (Example: If gross weight is 20,000 lb, multiply 20,000 x 1.02 = 20,400 lb).

Section IV CRUISE
7A.17 DESCRIPTION.
The cruise charts (Figures 7A-8 through 7A-30) present
torque required and total fuel flow as a function of airspeed,
altitude, temperature, and gross weight at 100% rotor speed.
Scales for both true airspeed and indicated airspeed are
presented. The baseline aircraft configurations for these
charts are 9clean and high drag 9 configuration as defined in
Section I. Each cruise chart also presents the change in
torque ( TRQ) required for 10 sq. ft. of additional flat
plate drag with a dashed line on a separate scale. This line
is utilized to correct torque required for external loads as
discussed in Section VI DRAG. Maximum level flight airspeed (Vh) is obtained at the intersection of gross weight
arc and torque available - 30 minutes or the transmission
torque limit, whichever is lower. Airspeeds that will produce maximum range, maximum endurance, and maximum
rate of climb are also shown. Cruise charts are provided
from sea level to 20,000 feet pressure altitude in units of
2,000 feet. Each figure number represents a different altitude. The charts provide cruise data for free air temperatures from -50° to +60°C, in units of 10°. Charts with
FAT’s that exceed the engine ambient temperature limits
by more than 10°C are deleted.
7A.18 USE OF CHARTS.
The primary uses of the charts are illustrated by the
examples of Figure 7A-8. To use the charts, it is usually
necessary to know the planned pressure altitude, estimated
free air temperature, planned cruise speed, TAS, and gross
weight. First, select the proper chart on the basis of pressure altitude and FAT. Enter the chart at the cruise airspeed, IAS, move horizontal and read TAS, move horizontal to the gross weight, move down and read torque
required, and then move up and read associated fuel flow.
Maximum performance conditions are determined by entering the chart where the maximum range line or the maximum endurance and rate of climb line intersects the gross
weight line; then read airspeed, fuel flow, and torque required. Normally, sufficient accuracy can be obtained by
selecting the chart nearest the planned cruising altitude and
FAT or, more conservatively, by selecting the chart with
the next higher altitude and FAT. If greater accuracy is
required, interpolation between altitudes and/or temperatures is permissible. To be conservative, use the gross
weight at the beginning of the cruise flight. For greater
accuracy on long flights, however, it is preferable to determine cruise information for several flight segments to allow
for the decreasing gross weight.

a. Airspeed. True and indicated airspeeds are presented
at opposite sides of each chart. On any chart, indicated
airspeed can be directly converted to true airspeed (or vice
versa) by reading directly across the chart without regard
for the other chart information.
b. Torque. Since pressure altitude and temperature are
fixed for each chart, torque required varies according to
gross weight and airspeed. The torque and torque limits
shown on these charts are for dual-engine operation. The
maximum torque available is presented on each chart as
either the transmission torque limit or torque available - 30
minute for both ATF-1.0 and 0.9 values. The maximum
torque available for aircraft with an ATF value between
these must be interpolated. The continuous torque available
values shown represent the minimum torque available for
ATFs of 1.0. For ATFs less than 1.0, maximum continuous
torque available may be reduced. The dual-engine torque
limit placard value is presented below the torque scale of
each chart when applicable. An increase or decrease in
torque required because of a drag area change is calculated
by adding or subtracting the change in torque from the
torque on the curve, and then reading the new fuel flow
total.
c. Fuel Flow. Fuel flow scales are provided opposite the
torque scales. On any chart, torque may be converted directly to fuel flow without regard to other chart information. Data shown in this section is for two-engine operation.
For one-engine fuel flow, refer to Section VIII FUEL
FLOW.
(1) With bleed-air extracted, fuel flow increases:
(a) Engine anti-ice on - About 100 lbs/hr. Example:
(760 lbs/hr + 100 lbs/hr = 860 lbs/hr.)
(b) Heater on - About 12 lbs/hr.
(c) Both on - About 112 lbs/hr.
(2) When the hover IR suppressor system is operating
in the benign mode (exhaust baffles removed), the dualengine fuel flow will decrease about 14 lbs/hr.
d. Maximum Range. The maximum range lines (MAX
RANGE) indicate the combinations of gross weight and
airspeed that will produce the greatest flight range per
pound of fuel under zero wind conditions. When maximum

Change 10

7A-17

TM 1-1520-237-10

range airspeed line is above the maximum torque available,
the resulting maximum airspeed should be used for maximum range. A method of estimating maximum range speed
in winds is to increase IAS by 2.5 knots per each 10 knots
of effective headwind (which reduces flight time and minimizes loss in range) and decrease IAS by 2.5 knots per 10
knots of effective tailwind for economy.
e. Maximum Endurance and Rate of Climb. The maximum endurance and rate of climb lines (MAX END and
R/C) indicate the combinations of gross weight and airspeed that will produce the maximum endurance and the
maximum rate of climb. The torque required for level flight
at this condition is a minimum, providing a minimum fuel
flow (maximum endurance) and a maximum torque change
available for climb (maximum rate of climb).
f. Change in Frontal Area. Since the cruise information
is given for the 9clean and high drag configuration,9 adjustments to torque should be made when operating with external sling loads or aircraft external configuration changes.
To determine the change in torque, first obtain the appropriate multiplying factor from the drag load chart (Figure
7A-33 or Table 7A-1), then enter the cruise chart at the
planned cruise speed TAS, move right to the broken
TRQ line, and move up and read TRQ. Multiply
TRQ by the multiplying factor to obtain change in
torque, then add or subtract change in torque from torque
required for the primary mission configuration. Enter the
cruise chart at resulting torque required, move up, and read
fuel flow. If the resulting torque required exceeds the governing torque limit, the torque required must be reduced to
the limit. The resulting reduction in airspeed may be found
by subtracting the change in torque from the limit torque;
then enter the cruise chart at the reduced torque, and move
up to the gross weight. Move left or right to read TAS or
IAS. The engine torque setting for maximum range obtained from the clean configuration cruise chart will generally result in cruise at best range airspeed for the higher
drag configuration. To determine the approximate airspeed
for maximum range for alternative or external load configurations, reduce the value from the cruise chart by 6 knots
F. For
for each 10 square foot increase in drag area,
example, if both cabin doors are open the F increases 6
ft2 and the maximum range airspeed would be reduced by

7A-18

approximately 4 knots (6 Kts/10 ft2x6 ft2 = 3.6 Kts). Only
the high drag cruise charts have data for gross weights
above 22,000 pounds. For external cargo hook load operations in excess of 8,000 pounds that attain gross weights
from 22,000 to 23,500 pounds it will be necessary to use
the high drag cruise charts. If the external stores support
system (ESSS) and the two 230-gallon tanks are not installed and the estimated drag value for the cargo hook load
is greater than 14 square feet , it will be necessary to subtract 14 square feet of drag from the cruise chart drag value
when determining cruise performance. If the ESSS and the
two 230-gallon tanks are not installed and the drag is estimated to be 14 square feet or less, the high drag charts
should be used with no other correction.
g. Additional Uses. The low speed end of the cruise
chart (below 40 knots) is shown primarily to familiarize
you with the low speed power requirements of the helicopter. It shows the power margin available for climb or acceleration during maneuvers, such as NOE flight. At zero airspeed, the torque represents the torque required to hover
out of ground effect. In general, mission planning for low
speed flight should be based on hover out of ground effect.
7A.19 SINGLE-ENGINE.
a. The minimum or maximum single-engine speeds can
be determined by using a combination of the 701C torque
available and cruise charts. To calculate single-engine
speeds, first determine the torque available from Section II
at the TGT limit desired and divide by 2. (Example: 90%
TRQ 4 2 = 45% TRQ.)
b. Select the appropriate cruise chart for the desired
flight condition and enter the torque scale with the torque
value derived above. Move up to the intersection of torque
available and the mission gross weight arc, and read across
for minimum single-engine airspeed. Move up to the second intersection of torque and weight, and read across to
determine the maximum single-engine speed. If no intersections occur, there is no single-engine level flight capability for the conditions. Single-engine fuel flow at the desired 10 minute, 30 minute, continuous conditions may be
obtained by doubling the torque required from the cruise
chart and referring to Figure 7A-37.

Section V OPTIMUM CRUISE
7A.20 OPTIMUM RANGE CHARTS.
This section presents a method to optimize cruise performance for long range missions when the altitudes flown
are not restricted by other requirements. The optimum altitude for maximum range charts (Figures 7A-31 and 7A-32)
provides the pressure altitude at which to cruise to obtain
the maximum possible range for any gross weight and FAT
conditions. The altitude determined for optimum range may

7A-134

also be used for optimum endurance. Enter the chart at a
current cruise or takeoff temperature condition and move
along the temperature guide lines to the anticipated gross
weight for cruise and obtain the optimum pressure altitude.
Turn to the cruise chart closest to the altitude and temperature predicted by the optimum range chart for specific
cruise information. The use of this chart is shown by the
example.

The general shapes of typical external loads are shown
on Figure 7A-33. as a function of the load frontal area. The
frontal area is combined with the typical drag coefficient of
the general shapes to obtain a drag multiplying factor for
use with the 10 sq. ft. drag scale on each cruise chart. The
TRQ ˜% value obtained from the cruise chart is multiplied by the drag multiplying factor and added to indicated
torque to obtain total torque required at any airspeed.

When external equipment or configuration differs from
the baseline clean configuration as defined in Section I, a
drag correction should be made similarly to the external
drag load method. Typical configuration changes that have
drag areas established from flight test or analysis along with

7A.24 CLIMB/DESCENT CHART.
The CLIMB/DESCENT chart (Figures 7A-35 and 7A36) presents the rate of climb or descent resulting from an
increase or decrease of engine torque from the value required for level flight above 40 KIAS. The data are presented at 100% RPM R for various gross weights. The
charts may also be used in reverse to obtain the torque

7A-140

increase or reduction required to achieve a desired steady
rate of climb or descent. The maximum R/C may be determined by subtracting the cruise chart torque required from
the maximum torque available at the desired flight conditions. Then enter the difference on the torque increase scale
of the climb chart, move up to the gross weight, and read
the resulting maximum R/C.

Section VIII FUEL FLOW
7A.25 IDLE FUEL FLOW.
Dual-engine idle fuel flow is presented as a function of
altitude at 0°C FAT in Table 7A-2.

c. When the IR suppressor system is operating in the
benign mode (exhaust baffles removed), the fuel flow will
decrease about 7 lbs/hr.
7A.27 DUAL-ENGINE FUEL FLOW.

7A.26 SINGLE-ENGINE FUEL FLOW.
Engine fuel flow is presented in Figure 7A-37 for various torque and pressure altitudes at a baseline FAT of 0°C
with engine bleed air extraction off. When operating at
other than 0°C FAT, engine fuel flow is increased 1% for
each 20°C above the baseline temperature and, decreased
1% for each 20°C below the baseline temperature.
To determine single-engine fuel flow during cruise, enter the fuel flow chart at double the torque required for
dual-engine cruise as determined from the cruise charts and
obtain fuel flow from the single-engine scale. The singleengine torque may not exceed the transmission limit shown
on the chart. With bleed air extracted, fuel flow increases as
follows:

Dual-engine fuel flow may be obtained from Figure
7A-37 when each engine is indicating approximately the
same torque by averaging the indicated torques and reading
fuel flow from the dual-engine fuel flow scale. When operating at other than the 0° FAT baseline, dual-engine fuel
flow is increased 1% for each 20°C above baseline and is
decreased 1% for each 20°C below baseline temperature.
With bleed air extracted, dual engine fuel flow increases as
follows:
a. Engine anti-ice on - +100 lbs/hr.
b. Cockpit heater on - +12 lbs/hr.
c. When the IR suppressor system is operating in the
benign mode (exhaust baffles removed), the fuel flow decreases about 14 lbs/hr.

a. Engine anti-ice on - +50 lbs/hr.
b. Cockpit heater on - +6 lbs/hr.

Section IX AIRSPEED SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS
7A.28 AIRSPEED SYSTEM DESCRIPTION.
NOTE
Indicated airspeeds below 40 KIAS are unreliable. Airspeed conversion data KIAS to
KTAS for speeds above 40 KIAS are provided in Section IV CRUISE.
The UH-60L is equipped with the pitot-static system
with wedge mounted pitot-static probes.
7A.29 AIRSPEED CHARTS.
7A.29.1 Airspeed Correction Charts. All indicated
airspeeds shown on the cruise charts are based on level
flight. Figures 7A-38 and 7A-39 provide the airspeed correction to be added to the cruise chart IAS value to determine the related airspeed indicator reading for other than
level flight mode. There are relatively large variations in
airspeed system error associated with climbs and descents.
These errors are significant and Figures 7A-38 and 7A-39
are provided primarily to show the general magnitude and
direction of the errors associated with the various flight
modes. If desired these figures may be used in the manner
shown by the examples to calculate specific airspeed corrections.

7A.29.2 Airspeed System Dynamic Characteristics. The dynamic characteristics of the pilot and copilot
airspeed indicating systems are normally satisfactory. However, the following anomalies in the airspeed and IVSI indicating system may be observed during the following maneuvers or conditions:
a. During takeoffs, in the speed range of 40 to 80 KIAS,
5 to 10 KIAS airspeed fluctuation may be observed on the
pilot’s and copilot’s airspeed indicators.
b. Power changes in high power, low airspeed climbs
may cause as much as 30 knot airspeed changes in indicated airspeed. Increase in power causes increase in indicated airspeed, and a decrease in power causes decrease in
indicated airspeed.
c. The pilot and copilot airspeed indicators may be unreliable during high power climbs at low airspeeds (less
than 50 KIAS) with the copilot system reading as much as
30 knots lower than the pilot system.
d. In-flight opening and closing of doors and windows
may cause momentary fluctuations of approximately 300
feet per minute on the vertical speed indicators.

Section X SPECIAL MISSION PERFORMANCE
7A.30 SPECIAL MISSION FLIGHT PROFILES.
Figures 7A-40 through 7A-42 show special mission
flight profiles required to obtain near maximum range when
equipped with ESSS in three different tank configurations.
The upper segment of each chart provides the recommended altitude profile along with the IAS and average
TRQ versus distance traveled. An average value of elapsed
time is also presented on the lower axis of the altitude
scale. The lower segment of each chart provides the relationship between fuel remaining and distance traveled resulting from the flight profile shown. This portion may be
utilized to check actual inflight range data to provide assurance that adequate range is being achieved. The chart is
divided into 3 regions of Adequate Range, Inadequate
range-return to base, and Inadequate range-requiring emergency action. When an inflight range point is in the Adequate range region, the required mission range can be obtained by staying on the recommended flight profile.
However, the range may not be achieved if stronger headwinds are encountered as the flight progresses, and normal
pilot judgement must be used. These charts also assume
that the flight track is within proper navigational limits.
Standard temperature variation with PA is shown on the
upper segment of the charts. A general correction for temperature variation is to decrease IAS by 2.5 KTS and total
distance traveled by 0.5% for each 10°C above standard.
Detailed flight planning must always be made for the actual
aircraft configuration, fuel load, and flight conditions when
maximum range is required. This data is based on JP-4 fuel.
It can be used with JP-5, JP-8, aviation gasoline, or any
other fuels ONLY IF THE TAKEOFF GROSS WEIGHT
AND THE FUEL LOAD WEIGHT MATCH THE DATA
AT THE TOP OF THE CHART. The Flight Time and the
Distance Traveled data SHOULD NOT be used with any
full tank configuration if the fuel density is not approximately 6.5 lb/gal (JP-4 fuel).
a. SELF-DEPLOYMENT MISSION. The selfdeployment mission is shown in Figure 7A-40 and the
ESSS is configured with two 230-gallon tanks outboard and
two 450-gallon tanks inboard. In this configuration, the aircraft holds in excess of 11,000 lb of JP4 fuel and has a
take-off gross weight of 24,500 pounds in order to achieve
the desired mission range of 1,150 Nm. This gross weight
is allowed for ferry missions only, requiring low load fac-

7A-148

tors and less than 30 degree angle banked turns. This mission was calculated for a standard day with a constant 10
knot headwind added to be conservative. Since there may
not be any emergency landing areas available, the mission
should not be attempted if headwinds in excess of 10 knots
are forecast. Take-off must be made with a minimum of
fuel used (60 pounds) for engine start and warm-up, and a
climb to 2,000 feet should be made with maximum power
and airspeed between 80 and 105 KIAS. The first segment
should be maintained at 2,000 feet and 105 KIAS for 2
hours. The average engine TRQ should be about 79% for
this segment, but will initially be a little more and gradually
decrease. Altitude is increased in 2,000 feet increments to
maintain the optimum altitude for maximum range to account for fuel burn. The first 2 segments are for 2 hours
each, followed by 1 hour segments until reaching 10,000
feet. At this altitude, the airspeed for best range should also
be reduced to 100 KIAS for the remainder of the flight.
Engine bleed air was assumed to be off for this mission
except for that required for fuel tank pressurization. Electrical cabin heat may be used. Removal of the HIRSS
baffles (benign mode) will reduce fuel flow by about 14
lb/hr. If oxygen is available, continuation of the staircase
climb sequence to 15,500 feet PA will result in about 23
additional Nm of range capability.
b. ASSAULT MISSION PROFILE - 4 tanks. The assault mission profile is shown in Figure 7A-41 with the
ESSS configured with four 230-gallon tanks. In this configuration, the aircraft holds in excess of 8,300 pounds of
JP4 fuel and assumes a take-off gross weight of 22,000
pounds which provides a maximum mission range of 980
Nm with 400 lbs reserve. This mission was calculated for a
standard day with a zero headwind. Take-off must be made
with a minimum of fuel used (80 pounds) for engine start
and warm-up, and a climb to 4,000 feet should be made
with maximum power and airspeed between 80 and 108
KIAS. The first segment should be maintained at 4,000 feet
and 108 KIAS for 1 hour. The average engine TRQ should
be about 79% for this segment, but will initially be a little
more and gradually decrease. Altitude is increased in 2,000
feet increments to maintain the optimum altitude for maximum range to account for fuel burn. The segments are for 1
hour each, until reaching 10,000 feet. At this altitude, the
airspeed for best range should be reduced to 100 KIAS for
the remainder of the flight.

TM 1-1520-237-10

c. ASSAULT MISSION PROFILE – 2 tanks. The assault mission profile is shown in Figure 7A-42 with the
ESSS configured with two 230-gallon tanks. In this configuration, the aircraft holds in excess of 5,300 pounds of
JP4 fuel and assumes a take-off gross weight of 22,000
pounds which provides a maximum mission range of 580
Nm. with 400 lbs reserve. This mission was calculated for a
standard day with a zero headwind. Take-off must be made
with a minimum of fuel used (80 lbs) for engine start and
warm-up, and a climb to 4,000 feet should be made with

maximum power and airspeed between 80 and 108 KIAS.
The first segment should be maintained at 4,000 feet and
108 KIAS for 1 hour. The average engine TRQ should be
about 77% for this segment, but will initially be a little
more and gradually decrease as shown on each segment.
Altitude is increased in 2,000 feet increments to maintain
the optimum altitude for maximum range to account for
fuel burn. At this altitude, the airspeed for best range should
also be reduced to 100 KIAS for the remainder of the flight.

Section II OPERATING PROCEDURES AND MANEUVERS
8.7 OPERATING PROCEDURES AND MANEUVERS.
This section deals with normal procedures and includes
all steps necessary to ensure safe and efficient operation of
the helicopter from the time a preflight begins until the
flight is completed and the helicopter is parked and secured.
Unique feel, characteristics, and reaction of the helicopter
during various phases of operation and the techniques and
procedures used for taxiing, takeoff, climb, etc., are described, including precautions to be observed. Your flying
experience is recognized; therefore, basic flight principles
are avoided. Only the duties of the minimum crew necessary for the actual operation of the helicopter are included.
Additional crew duties are covered as necessary in Section
I Mission Planning. Mission equipment checks are contained in Chapter 4 Mission Equipment. Procedures specifically related to instrument flight that are different from normal procedures are covered in this section, following
normal procedures. Descriptions of functions, operations,
and effects of controls are covered in Section IV Flight
Characteristics, and are repeated in this section only when
required for emphasis. Checks that must be performed under adverse environmental conditions, such as desert and
cold-weather operations, supplement normal procedures
checks in this section and are covered in Section V Adverse
Environmental Conditions.
8.8 SYMBOLS DEFINITION.
Items which apply only to night or only to instrument
flying shall have an N or an I, respectively, immediately
preceding the check to which it is pertinent. The symbol O
shall be used to indicate 9if installed9. Those duties which
are the responsibility of the pilot not on the controls, will be
indicated by a circle around the step number; i.e., ④ . The
symbol star. indicates an operational check is required.
Operational checks are contained in the performance section of the condensed checklist. The asterisk symbol * indicates that performance of step is mandatory for all thruflights. The asterisk applies only to checks performed prior
to takeoff. Placarded items such as switch and control labels appear in uppercase type.
8.9 CHECKLIST.
Normal procedures are given primarily in checklist form,
and amplified as necessary in accompanying paragraph
form, when a detailed description of a procedure or maneu-

ver is required. A condensed version of the amplified
checklist, omitting all explanatory text, is contained in the
operator’s checklist. To provide for easier crossreferencing, the procedural steps in the checklist are numbered to coincide with the corresponding numbered steps in
this manual.
8.10 PREFLIGHT CHECK.
The pilot’s walkaround and interior checks are outlined
in the following procedures. The preflight check is not intended to be a detailed mechanical inspection. The preflight
order is a recommended sequence only. The expanded substeps do not need to be memorized or accomplished in order. The steps that are essential for safe helicopter operation are included. The preflight may be made as
comprehensive as conditions warrant at the discretion of
the pilot.

b. Slope landing. The tailwheel should be locked
and the parking brake should be set. For slope
landings and all ground operations, avoid using
combinations of excessive cyclic and low collective settings. Where minimum collective is
used, maintain cyclic near neutral position and
avoid abrupt cyclic inputs. During nose-down
slope landings, low-frequency oscillations may
be eliminated by moving cyclic toward neutral
and lowering collective.

CAUTION

8.33 AFTER LANDING CHECK.
During roll-on landing aerodynamic
braking with aft cyclic is permitted with
the tail wheel contacting the ground. Once
the main wheels touchdown, the cyclic
must be centered prior to reducing collective. Excessive aft cyclic may cause droop
stop pounding and contact between main
rotor blades and other portions of the aircraft. Aerodynamic braking is prohibited
once the main landing gear touches down.
Use brakes to stop the aircraft.
NOTE
Because of the flat profile of the main transmission, pitching the helicopter nose up as
in hover, may cause a transient drop in indicated main transmission oil pressure, depending on degree of nose-up attitude.
a. Roll-on landing. A roll-on landing may be used
when the helicopter will not sustain a hover, to
avoid hovering in snow or dust, if tail rotor
control is lost, or when operating with one
heavy external tank.

CAUTION

When landing the EH-60A in a nose
downslope configuration, exercise extreme
caution to prevent the main rotor blades
from contacting the aft DF antennas.
When the main wheels contact the
ground, center the cyclic prior to reducing collective. The cyclic should be centered before the collective is placed in full
down to prevent possible rotor/airframe
contact. If droop stop contact is felt prior
to the main wheels touching the ground,
abort landing attempt.

Section IV FLIGHT CHARACTERISTICS
8.37 GENERAL.

WARNING
Pedal trim switches must be pressed while
changing the helicopter heading during
hover. Do not hold hover heading against
yaw trim force. A rapid release of pedal
trim force will allow the FPS heading hold
feature to immediately correct to the last
known engaged heading. This can result
in rapid, divergent helicopter heading deviations.
a. Refer to FM 1-203 Fundamentals of Flight for explanation of aerodynamic flight characteristics.
b. The safe maximum operating airspeed range is described in Chapter 5. While hovering in high wind,
sideward and rearward flight should be limited to low
ground speeds. The helicopter is directionally stable in forward flight. In sideward and rearward flight, directional
control is more difficult. During approach, or slow flight as
the airspeed reaches about 17 to 20 KIAS, a mild vibration
will be felt.
8.38 GROUND RESONANCE.
Ground resonance is a self-excited vibration created
when a coupling interaction occurs between the movement
of the main rotor blades and the helicopter. For this to
happen, there must be some abnormal lead/lag blade condition which would dynamically unbalance the rotor and a
reaction between the helicopter and ground, which could
aggravate and further unbalance the rotor. Ground resonance can be caused by a blade being badly out of track, a
malfunctioning damper, or a peculiar set of landing conditions. Ground resonance may occur when a wheel reaction
aggravates an out-of-phase main rotor blade condition such
as a hard one-wheel landing, resulting in maximum lead
and lag blade displacement. This helicopter does not have a
history of ground resonance. If it should occur, get the helicopter airborne. If this is not possible, immediately reduce
collective pitch, place ENG POWER CONT levers OFF,
and apply wheel brakes.
8.39 MANEUVERING FLIGHT.
8.39.1 Flight with External Loads. Refer to FM 55450-1.
8-18

Change 10

WARNING
Static electricity generated by the helicopter should be discharged before attempting a sling or rescue hoist pickup. Use a
conductor between helicopter and the
ground to discharge the static electricity.
Caution must be exercised when transporting external loads that exhibit unstable characteristics. These loads may
amplify any oscillation and cause the load
to contact the aircraft.
a. Load bobble. In forward flight at the higher external
cargo hook load weights, a slight vertical bobble may occasionally be noticed. If experienced, this bobble will increase in amplitude with a corresponding increase in airspeed or aggressiveness of maneuver. This bobble is caused
by an external disturbance (e.g. turbulence or a control input) that triggers the natural elastic response of the sling.
To correct, airspeed shall be decreased or limit aggressiveness of maneuver until bobble is eliminated and pilot is
comfortable with the aircraft’s control.
b. Stabilator angle in level flight. Due to the increased
drag of external loads, collective position for a given level
flight speed will be higher. Correspondingly, the stabilator
angle will be more trailing edge down than usual. Since the
surface area and inherent drag of each external load varies,
exact guidance relative to how much more trailing edge
down angle that results is not possible.
c. Collective friction. With external cargo hook sling
loads, it is especially important to have collective friction
set at a minimum of three pounds.
8.39.2 Flying Qualities
Installed. ERFS

with

External

ERFS

a. Pitch Attitude vs. Airspeed. The ERFS installation
naturally results in increased drag. Since this drag vector is
below the center of gravity of the helicopter, the pitch attitude will be more nose-down for any speed beyond 60 to
70 KIAS. At mid to high gross weights (and most especially at a forward CG) there is a slight pitch down at 50 to
55 KIAS. The installation of the ERFS results in a small
increase in this nose-down tendency.

b. Tank Vibration. It will be observed that the right hand
tank(s) will vibrate more than the left tank(s). This is a
normal occurrence.

enced. During flight, if vertical oscillation is encountered,
the pilot should remove the hand from the collective grip;
this should eliminate the oscillation.

c. Stabilator Angle vs. Airspeed. With the increased
drag of the ERFS, a given airspeed will require more collective which, due to the collective to stabilator coupling,
results in a more trailing edge down stabilator angle. In the
ferry configuration (full inboard 450-gallon tanks, full outboard 230-gallon tanks) the stabilator angle at higher speeds
may be increased because of higher collective positions signal. This is normal as no stabilator program changes were
made for the ERFS.

8.39A 700 TRANSIENT ROTOR DROOP CHARACTERISTICS

d. Roll Attitude Hold (FPS ON). With only the ERFS
wings installed, the roll attitude hold feature of the FPS is
not noticeably affected. With full outboard 230-gallon tanks
there is a very slight degradation of roll attitude stability,
evidenced by a slower return to trim after an excitation
(gust). With four full 230-gallon tanks the return to trim is
a bit slower and with full inboard 450-gallon tanks and full
outboard 230-gallon tanks the return to trim is slower. Since
the return to trim is affected by the roll inertia of the helicopter, it is therefore recommended that for a four tank
configuration the outboard tanks be used first.

b. During descent with little or no collective applied,
Ng SPEED will be less than 80%. If % RPM R increases
above 100%, the ECU torque motor input to the HMU is
trimmed down in an attempt to restore 100% RPM 1/2 and
% RPM R. When collective is increased, the LDS input
demands more power, but the ECU continues to trim down
until % RPM 1/2 returns to 100%. Since the Ng SPEED is
at a slow speed, engine response time is greater. If rotor
drag increases faster than the engine controller response,
rotor droop occurs.

8.39.3 Collective Bounce/Pilot Induced Oscillation.
NOTE
The friction force refers to the breakaway
force required to move the collective stick in
an upward direction. The three pounds force
is measured with the BOOST servo and SAS
amplifiers operating and collective at midrange.
To prevent vertical oscillation (collective bounce), the
collective control system requires a minimum friction of
three pounds measured at the collective head. Vertical oscillation can occur in any flight regime and may be caused
by such events as SAS oscillation, turbulence, external load
oscillation, and inadvertent pilot input into the collective.
The oscillation causes the aircraft to vibrate. This vibration
will be felt as a vertical bounce at approximately three
cycles per second. If the severity of the oscillation is allowed to build, very high vibration levels will be experi-

a. The T700 engine control system accurately maintains
100 % RPM R throughout the flight envelope for most
maneuvers. However, pilots should be aware that certain
maneuvers performed with minimum collective applied will
result in significant transient rotor droop. High density altitudes, heavy gross weights and operation at less than
100% RPM R will aggrevate this condition.

c. During aggressive level deceleration (quick stop) or
right turn approach maneuvers as the collective is raised
and the nose lowered, % RPM R may droop to 95% or
lower for 1 - 2 seconds. % RPM R may then momentarily
increase to 105-106% as the engine control system overcompensates for the reduced % RPM 1/2. Similar conditions of low collective, high % RPM R, and low Ng
SPEED may be present during practice autorotations to a
power recovery. After the flare as the nose is leveled and
collective is increased, significant transient droop can occur. A rapid collective pull will aggravate the rotor droop.
d. Maneuvers that rapidly load the rotor system with no
collective input can result in transient droops as low as
92%. Transient droop is more pronounced at higher altitudes since the HMU reduces Ng SPEED acceleration as
barometric pressure decreases.
e. To minimize transient rotor droop, avoid situations
which result in rapid rotor loading from low Ng SPEED
and % TRQ conditions. Initiate maneuvers with collective
inputs leading or simultaneous to cyclic inputs. During approach and landing, maintain at least 15% - 20% TRQ and
transient droop will be minimal as hover power is applied.

Section V ADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
8.40.1.3 Inboard External Fuel Tanks or Stores.

8.40 GENERAL.
This section informs the crewmembers of the special
precautions and procedures to be followed during the various weather and climatic conditions that may be encountered. This will be additional material to that already covered in other chapters regarding the operation of the various
helicopter systems. Refer to FM 1-202 for cold weather
operations.
8.40.1 Shipboard Operations.
8.40.1.1 Helicopter Shutdown.

CAUTION

To avoid damage caused by slowing rotor
blades, crews shall exercise extreme caution when shutting down the helicopter on
board ships.
During rotor coast down on board ship, changing wind
conditions, gusts, flight deck turbulence, and rotor downwash from other helicopters can create excessive blade
flapping and cause helicopter damage.
8.40.1.2 Blade Folding.

CAUTION

Crews shall exercise extreme caution
when folding or spreading blades in high
wind/severe deck motion conditions.
Takeoff and landing adjacent to helicopters with folded blades should not be conducted on board ship. The folded blades
could contact each other and cause damage.
Folding or spreading of main rotor blades may be required on board ship to conserve flight deck space, to use
the ship’s elevator, or to hangar the helicopter. Controlling
the main rotor blades is significantly more difficult than on
land due to the effects of wind speed and direction, and ship
motion. High winds and/or ship motion can also cause
damage to folded blades.

8-20

Change 10

WARNING
During significant deck motion conditions, chocking must be accomplished expeditiously. On board ship operations will
expose flight deck personnel to risk of injury in the event of inadvertent jettison or
helicopter movement while chocking.
Inboard mounted external fuel tanks or stores significantly impede access to main wheels. Under severe deck
motion, the risk of helicopter movement may exceed the
risk of inadvertent stores jettison circuits prior to chocking.
Consideration should be given to not carrying inboard
mounted tanks or stores when severe deck motion is expected.
8.41 COLD WEATHER OPERATION.
The basic helicopter with normal servicing can operate
at temperatures down to −34°C (−29°F).

WARNING
Static electricity generated by the helicopter should be discharged before attempting a sling or rescue hoist pickup. In cold,
dry climatic conditions static electricity
buildups are large. Use a conductor between the helicopter and the ground to
discharge the static charge. Delay lowering rescue hoist hook until helicopter is
over the load, to lessen static charge
buildup.
NOTE
During operation in cold weather, particularly when snow or moisture is present, the
tail wheel locking indicating systems may
give erroneous cockpit indications.

times during 1 minute of control cycling in
step a.

CAUTION

Ice removal shall never be done by scraping or chipping. Remove ice by applying
heat or deicing fluid.
Blade deice operation with erosion strips
installed may cause blade damage.

(2) Move each tail rotor pedal alternately
through 3/4-inch of travel from neutral position 30 times during 1 minute of control
cycling in step a.
b. At temperatures between -31°C (-24°F) and
-43°C (-45°F), cycle collective slowly for 2
minutes.

a. In addition to the checks in Section II check aircraft
for ice or snow. If ice or snow is found, remove as much as
possible by hand and thaw aircraft with heated air or deicing fluid before attempting start. Failure to remove ice and
snow may cause damage.

(1) Move collective stick grip up about 1-1/2
inches from lower stop and down again
during first minute, and 3 inches of travel
during second minute of control cycling in
step b.

b. Check main rotor head and blades, tail rotor, flight
controls and engine inlets and hand holds for ice and snow.
Failure to remove snow and ice accumulations can result in
serious aerodynamic, structural effects in flight and serious
foreign object damage if ice is ingested into the engine.
Check ENG POWER CONT levers for freedom of movement.

(2) Move each tail rotor pedal alternately
through 3/8-inch of travel from neutral position during first minute and 3/4-inch of
travel during second minute of control cycling in step b.

c. On aircraft equipped with Extended Range Fuel System, check ESSS and 230/450-gallon fuel tank for ice or
snow. Remove as much as possible by hand and then use
heated air. Start APU and turn on pressure to both INBD
and OUTBD fuel tanks. Wing-mounted pressure regulator
may require heated air applied directly onto the exhaust
vent protruding from the ESSS wing. After regulator valve
is operating and fuel tanks are pressurized, leave system on.

warm-up will depend on temperature of the engine and lubrication system before start.
CAUTION

When starting an engine that has been exposed to low temperatures, watch for rise
in TGT TEMP within 45 seconds. If no
TGT TEMP rise is evident, manually
prime the engine and attempt another engine start. If there is no overboard fuel
flow during prime, inspect for ice in the
sumps and filters. During cold weather
operation, allow longer warm-up period
to bring transmission oil temperature up
to desired operating range refer to Chapter 5. Monitor oil pressure and temperature closely. When advancing the power
control levers, maintain transmission oil
pressure in normal operating range.
b. When starting in cold weather below -40°C (-40°F),
if light-off does not occur within 45 seconds after initial
indication of Ng SPEED, move ENG POWER CONT
lever for the affected engine back to OFF. With the engine
shutdown move the ENG POWER CONT lever from OFF
to FLY. If the force required to move the ENG POWER
CONT lever is higher than normal, suspect possible frozen
PAS cable. This situation may require maintenance prior to
attempting another start. If force is normal then attempt
another start. If light-off still does not occur within 45 seconds, abort start and do the following:
(1) ENG POWER CONT lever(s) - Hold at
LOCKOUT.
(2) FUEL BOOST PUMP CONTROL switch(es)
- ON until crewmember reports fuel from the
overflow drain.
(3) FUEL BOOST PUMP CONTROL switch(es)
- OFF.
(4) ENG POWER CONT lever(s) - OFF.
(5) Attempt another start.

b. During starts in extreme cold weather (near -54°C
(-65°F)) , the following oil pressure characteristics are typical:
(1) Oil pressure may remain at zero for the first 20
to 30 seconds after initiating the start. Abort the
start if oil pressure does not register within 1
minute after initiating a start.
(2) Once oil pressure begins to indicate on the
gage, it will increase rapidly and it will exceed
the limit. This condition is normal. The time for
oil pressure to decrease will depend on the ambient temperature, but should be normal within
5 minutes after starting the engine.
(3) Oil pressure may increase above the maximum
pressure limit if the engine is accelerated above
idle while oil temperature is within normal operating range. The pressure will decrease to
within the normal operating range as the oil
temperature increases.
c. It is normal for the OIL FLTR BYPASS caution
light to be on when starting an engine with oil temperatures
below normal because of high oil viscosity and the accumulation of oil filter contaminants. When the engine oil
temperature reaches about 38°C (100°F) during warm-up,
the light should go off.
8.41.5 Taxiing. The helicopter should not be taxied until
all engine temperatures and system pressures are within the
normal range. All taxiing should be done at low speeds
with wide-radius turns. If the tires are frozen to the surface,
a slight yawing motion induced by light pedal application
should break them free. Taxiing in soft snow requires
higher than normal power.
8.42 DESERT AND HOT WEATHER OPERATION.
Prolonged hovering flight in hot weather 35°C (95°F) at
higher gross weight may cause transmission oil temperature
to rise into the yellow precautionary range. Hovering operations in the precautionary range under those conditions
may be considered normal.

8.41.4 Engine Oil System Characteristics.
a. It is normal to observe high engine oil pressure during initial starts when the ambient temperature is 0°C
(32°F) or below. Run engine at idle until oil pressure is
within limits. Oil pressure should return to the normal range
after operating 5 minutes. However, time required for

8.42.1 Taxiing and Ground Operation. Braking and
ground operation should be minimized to prevent system
overheating. During ground operations, if engine oil pressure falls into the red gage range when the power control
lever is in the idle position and/or the engine oil pressure
caution light comes on when the power control lever is in

TM 1-1520-237-10

the idle position, slightly advance the power control lever.
If the engine oil pressure returns to the yellow range and
the engine oil pressure caution light extinguishes, engine
oil pressure is acceptable.
8.43 IN-FLIGHT.
8.43.1 Thunderstorm Operation.

CAUTION

Avoid flight in or near thunderstorms, especially in areas of observed or anticipated lightning discharges.
a. Tests have shown that lightning strikes may result in
loss of automatic flight controls (including stabilator), engine controls or electrical power. The high currents passing
through the aircraft structure are expected to produce secondary effects whereby damaging voltage surges are
coupled into aircraft wiring.
b. If a lightning strike occurs whereby all aircraft electrical power and electronics subsystems and controls are

lost (including the engine 700 ECU/ 701C DEC and the
engine-driven alternator), both engines go immediately to
maximum power with no temperature limiter or overspeed
protection. In addition, the 701C engine overspeed may result in single or dual-engine shutdown without automatic
relight.
8.43.2 Turbulence.
a. Recommended maximum turbulence penetration airspeeds. For moderate turbulence, limit airspeed to the MAX
RANGE ( 700 Chapter 7 or 701C Chapter 7A) or Vne minus 15 knots, whichever is less.
b. In turbulent air - Maintain constant collective and use
the vertical situation indicator as the primary pitch instrument. The altimeter and vertical velocity indicator may vary
excessively in turbulence and should not be relied upon.
Airspeed indication may vary as much as 40 KIAS. By
maintaining a constant power setting and a level-flight attitude on the vertical situation indicator, airspeed will remain relatively constant even when erroneous readings are
presented by the airspeed indicator.

8.43.3 Ice and Rain Operation.

CAUTION

Operation in rain will result in significant
damage to the blade erosion kit materials
and should be avoided.
At airspeeds greater than 120 KIAS or
during periods of reduced rain intensity
the windshield wipers may slow noticeably. If this occurs, wipers must be
parked immediately to avoid wiper motor

8.43.4 In-Flight Icing.

enced during normal operation of the blade deice system
because of ice build-up. The crew should closely monitor
engine instruments to prevent exceeding limits and/or rotor
droop. Significant power losses and increased fuel consumption will occur with the activation of engine inlet antiicing systems. Refer to Chapter 7 for torque available. The
main rotor hub and the blades collect ice before initiation of
a deice cycle. When enough ice has collected on the blades,
moderate vibration levels of short duration can be expected
in controls and airframe during normal deicing cycles. If
the blade deice system is not operating, unbalanced loads of
ice, resulting from asymmetric shedding, may cause severe
vibrations. However, these vibrations normally subside after 30 to 60 seconds when ice from other blades is shed.
d. ERFS AFMS When helicopter is equipped with
external extended range fuel system turn on pressure to
both INBD and OUTBD fuel tanks. This will prevent ice
accumulation and assure pneumatic pressure for fuel transfer.

CAUTION

NOTE
Activation of anti-ice systems after entry
into potential icing conditions creates the
possibility of engine FOD caused by ice
shedding. The ice detector has been designed primarily as a sensor to indicate
the requirement for activation of the
blade deice system.
a. All anti-ice systems must be turned on prior to entering visible moisture at ambient temperatures of 4°C (39°F)
or less.
b. If icing conditions are encountered, turn on all antiicing equipment immediately. If torque required increases
20% above that required for level flight at the airspeed
being maintained before entering icing, exit the icing environment or land as soon as possible. A 20% torque increase
indicates that normal autorotational rotor rpm may not be
possible, should dual-engine failure occur.
c. When the helicopter is equipped with an operating
blade deice, and icing conditions are encountered, a recurring torque increase up to 14% per engine may be experi-

After pressurizing the external extended
range fuel tanks, DO NOT TURN OFF if
ambient temperature is below 4°C (39°F).
8.43.5 Ground Operations.
a. Strong gusty winds may cause increased flapping of
the main rotor blades during shutdown following an icing
encounter, because the anti-flap restrainers may be frozen
in the fly position.
b. During flight in icing conditions when droop stop
heaters are not installed or fail to operate properly, the
droop stop hinges may become iced, resulting in the droop
stops not returning to the static position during rotor coast
down. When the droop stops do not return to the static
position, the main rotor blades may droop to within 4 feet
of the ground during shutdown. Strong gusty winds may
also cause excessive flapping of the main rotor blades, presenting the additional hazard of potential contact with the
aft fuselage. If the droop stops are suspected to be stuck in
the fly position, caution must be taken during shutdown to
be sure personnel remain clear of the helicopter.

CHAPTER 9
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
Section I AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS
9.1 HELICOPTER SYSTEMS.
This section describes the helicopter systems emergencies that may reasonably be expected to occur and presents
the procedures to be followed. Emergency operation of
mission equipment is contained in this chapter, insofar as
its use affects safety of flight. Emergency procedures are
given in checklist form when applicable. A condensed version of these procedures is contained in the condensed
checklist TM 1-1520-237-CL.

c. The term AUTOROTATE is defined as adjusting the
flight controls as necessary to establish an autorotational
descent and landing.
d. The term EMER ENG SHUTDOWN is defined as
engine shutdown without delay. Engine shutdown in flight
is usually not an immediate-action item unless a fire exists.
Before attempting an engine shutdown, identify the affected
engine by checking ENG OUT warning lights, % RPM,
% TRQ, ENG OIL PRESS, TGT TEMP, and Ng
SPEED.

9.2 IMMEDIATE ACTION EMERGENCY STEPS.
NOTE
The urgency of certain emergencies requires
immediate and instinctive action by the pilot. The most important single consideration
is helicopter control. All procedures are subordinate to this requirement. The MASTER
CAUTION should be reset after each malfunction to allow systems to respond to subsequent malfunctions. If time permits during
a critical emergency, transmit MAYDAY
call, set transponder to emergency, jettison
external stores if required, turn off boost
pumps, and lock shoulder harnesses.
Those steps that shall be performed immediately in an
emergency situation are underlined. These steps must be
performed without reference to the checklist. Nonunderlined steps should be accomplished with use of the checklist.
9.3 DEFINITION OF EMERGENCY TERMS.
For the purpose of standardization, these definitions shall
apply.
a. The term LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE is defined as landing at the nearest suitable landing area (e.g.,
open field) without delay. (The primary consideration is to
ensure the survival of occupants.)
b. The term LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE is
defined as landing at a suitable landing area. (The primary
consideration is the urgency of the emergency.)

1. ENG POWER CONT lever(s) - OFF.
2. ENG FUEL SYS selector(s) - OFF.
3. FUEL BOOST PUMP CONTROL switch(es)
- OFF.

CAUTION

If TGT rises above 538°C after shutdown,
place AIR SOURCE HEAT/START
switch as required, turn ENGINE IGNITION switch OFF, and press starter to
motor engine for 30 seconds or until TGT
TEMP decreases below 538°C.
e. The term LOCKOUT is defined as manual control of
engine RPM while bypassing 700 ECU, or 701C DEC functions. Bypass of the engine control will be required when
% RPM 1 or 2 decreases below normal demand speed.

CAUTION

When engine is controlled with ENG
POWER CONT lever in LOCKOUT, engine response is much faster and TGT
limiting system is inoperative. Care must
be taken not to exceed TGT limits and
keeping % RPM R and % RPM 1 and 2
in operating range.

Change 8

9-1

TM 1-1520-237-10

ENG POWER CONT lever - Pull down and advance
full forward while maintaining downward pressure, then
adjust to set % RPM R as required. Engine control malfunctions can result in % RPM R increasing or decreasing
from normal demand speed. Under certain failure conditions, % TRQ, % RPM, and Ng SPEED may not be indicating and the possibility of the ENG OUT warning light
and audio activating exists. The most reliable indication of
engine power will be TGT TEMP.

b. Cabin door window jettison. To provide emergency
exit from the cabin, two jettisonable windows are installed
in each cabin door. To release the windows, a handle (under a jettison lever guard) marked EMERGENCY EXIT
PULL AFT, (left side; right side, PULL FWD) on the
inside of the cabin door (Figure 9-1), is moved in the direction of the arrow, releasing the windows. The windows
can then be pushed out.
9.6 EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT (PORTABLE).

f. The term EMER APU START is defined as APU
start to accomplish an emergency procedure.
1. FUEL PUMP switch - APU BOOST.
2. APU CONTR switch - ON.

Emergency equipment consists of two hand held fire extinguishers, one crash ax, and three first aid kits, as shown
in Figure 9-1.
9.7 ENGINE MALFUNCTION - PARTIAL OR COMPLETE POWER LOSS.

9.4 AFTER EMERGENCY ACTION.
After a malfunction of equipment has occurred, appropriate emergency actions have been taken and the helicopter is on the ground, an entry shall be made in the Remarks
Section of DA Form 2408-13-1 describing the malfunction.
Ground and flight operations shall be discontinued until
corrective action has been taken.
9.5 EMERGENCY EXITS.
Emergency exits are shown in Figure 9-1. Emergency
exit release handles are yellow and black striped.

WARNING
For helicopters without a roll-trim actuator, the cyclic shall be held at all times
with the rotor turning. In cases where
emergency exit is required prior to rotor
coasting to a stop, make sure that the cyclic stick is centered until the last crewmember can depart the cockpit. Since the
main rotor shaft has a 3° forward tilt, an
exit to the right rear or left rear will provide the greatest rotor clearance safety.
a. Each cockpit door is equipped with a jettison system
for emergency release of the door assembly. Jettison is done
by pulling a handle marked EMERGENCY EXIT PULL,
on the inside of the door (Figure 9-1). To release the door,
the jettison handle is pulled to the rear; the door may then
be jettisoned by kicking the lower forward corner of the
door. On helicopters equipped with jettisonable cockpit
door windows if the door fails to jettison, the windows may
be removed by pulling the emergency strap inward.

9-2

Change 8

WARNING
Prior to movement of either powercontrol lever, it is imperative that the
malfunctioning engine and the corresponding power-control lever be identified. If the decision is made to shut down
an engine, take at least five full seconds
while retarding the ENG POWER CONT
lever from FLY to IDLE, monitoring %
TRQ, Ng SPEED, TGT TEMP, % RPM,
and ENG OUT warning light on.
The various conditions under which engine failure may
occur, prevent a standard procedure. A thorough knowledge of emergency procedures and flight characteristics will
enable the pilot to respond correctly and automatically in
an emergency. The engine instruments often provide ample
warning of a malfunction before actual engine failure. The
indications of engine malfunction, either partial or complete power loss, may be as follows: Changes in affected
engine % RPM, TGT TEMP, Ng SPEED, % TRQ, ENG
OIL PRESS, % RPM R, LOW ROTOR RPM and/or
ENG OUT warning lights and audio, and change in engine
noise. The amount of change in each depends upon the type
of failure, e.g., compressor stall, as opposed to complete
power loss on one or both engines.
9.8 FLIGHT CHARACTERISTICS.
DUAL-ENGINE FAILURE: The flight characteristics
and the required crewmember control responses after a
dual-engine failure are similar to those during a normal
power-on descent. Full control of the helicopter can be
maintained during autorotational descent. In autorotation,

TM 1-1520-237-10

as airspeed increases above 70 - 80 KIAS, the rate of descent and glide distance increase significantly. As airspeed
decreases below 64 KIAS, the rate of descent will increase
and glide distance will decrease.
SINGLE-ENGINE FAILURE: When one engine has
failed, the helicopter can often maintain altitude and airspeed until a suitable landing site can be selected. Whether
or not this is possible becomes a function of such combined
variables as aircraft weight, density altitude, height above
ground, airspeed, phase of flight, single engine capability,
and environmental response time and control technique
may be additional factors. In addition, these factors should
be taken into consideration should the functioning engine
fail and a dual-engine failure results.
9.9 SINGLE-ENGINE FAILURE - GENERAL.

9.10 SINGLE-ENGINE FAILURE.

WARNING
Do not respond to ENG OUT warning
light and audio until checking TGT
TEMP, Ng SPEED, and % RPM 1 and 2.
1. Collective - Adjust to maintain % RPM R.
2. External cargo/stores - Jettison (if required).

If continued flight is not possible:
3. LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
If continued flight is possible:

WARNING
4. Establish single-engine airspeed.
When the power available during single
engine operation is marginal or less, consideration should be given to jettisoning
the external stores. The engine anti-ice
and cabin heater switches should be
turned off as necessary to ensure maximum power is available on the remaining
engine.
Crewmember recognition of a single-engine failure and
subsequent action are essential and should be based on the
following general guidelines. At low altitude and low airspeed, it may be necessary to lower the collective only
enough to maintain % RPM R (normal range). At higher
altitude, however, the collective may be lowered significantly to increase % RPM R to 100 percent. When hovering in ground effect, the collective should be used only as
required to cushion the landing, and the primary consideration is in maintaining a level attitude. In forward flight at
low altitude (as in takeoff), when a single-engine capability
to maintain altitude does not exist, a decelerating attitude
will initially be required to prepare for landing. Conversely,
if airspeed is low and altitude sufficient, the helicopter
should be placed in an accelerating attitude to gain sufficient airspeed for single-engine fly away to a selected landing site. The light regions in the height velocity avoid region diagram s (Figures 9-2 and 9-3) define the ground
speed and wheel-height combinations that will permit a safe
landing in the event of an engine failure for various gross
weights at both sea level 15°C (59°F), and 4,000 feet/35°C
(95°F), ambient condition.

5. LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE.
9.11 ENGINE RESTART DURING FLIGHT.
After an engine failure in flight, an engine restart may be
attempted. If it can be determined that it is reasonably safe
to attempt a start, the APU should be used. Use of a crossbleed start could result in a power loss of up to 18% on the
operational engine.
9.12 DUAL-ENGINE FAILURE - GENERAL.
a. If both engines fail, immediate action is required to
make a safe autorotative descent. The altitude and airspeed
(Figure 9-4) at which a two-engine failure occurs will dictate the action to be taken. After the failure, main rotor rpm
will decay rapidly and the aircraft will yaw to the left.
Unless a two-engine failure occurs near the ground, it is
mandatory that autorotation be established immediately.
During cruise, reduce collective immediately to regain %
RPM R and then adjust as required to maintain % RPM
within power off rotor speed limits. The cyclic should be
adjusted as necessary to attain and maintain the desired
airspeed. The recommended airspeed for autorotation is 80
KIAS. Autorotation below 80 knots is not recommended
because the deceleration does not effectively arrest the rate
of descent. Adjusting the cyclic and collective control to
maintain 100% RPM R and 110 KIAS (100 KIAS high
drag) will result in achieving the maximum glide distance.
A landing area must be selected immediately after both
engines fail. Throughout the descent, adjust collective as

necessary to maintain % RPM R within normal range.
Figure 5-1 shows the rotor limitations. % RPM R should
be maintained at or slightly above 100 percent to allow
ample rpm before touchdown.
b. Main rotor rpm will increase momentarily when the
cyclic is moved aft with no change in collective pitch setting. An autorotative rpm of approximately 100 percent
provides for a good rate of descent. % RPM R above 100
percent will result in a higher rate of descent. At 50 to 75
feet AGL, use aft cyclic to decelerate. This reduces airspeed and rate of descent and causes an increase in %
RPM R. The degree of increase depends upon the amount
and rate of deceleration. An increase in % RPM R can be
desirable in that more inertial energy in the rotor system

will be available to cushion the landing. Ground contact
should be made with some forward speed. Pitch attitudes
up to 25° at the point of touchdown normally result in an
adequate deceleration and safe landing. If a rough area is
selected, a steeper deceleration and a touchdown speed as
close to zero as possible should be used. With pitch attitude
beyond 25° there is the possibility of ground contact with
the stabilator trailing edge. It is possible that during the
autorotative approach, the situation may require additional
deceleration. In that case, it is necessary to assume a landing attitude at a higher altitude than normal. Should both
engines fail at low airspeed, initial collective reduction may
vary widely. The objective is to reduce collective as necessary to maintain % RPM R within normal range. In some

9.16 % RPM INCREASING/DECREASING (OSCILLATION).
It is possible for a malfunction to occur that can cause
the affected engine to oscillate. The other engine will respond to the change in power by also oscillating, usually
with smaller amplitudes. The engine oscillations will cause
torque oscillations. The suggested pilot corrective action is
to pull back the ENG POWER CONT lever of the suspected engine until oscillation stops. If the oscillation continues, the ENG POWER CONT lever should be returned
to FLY position and the other ENG POWER CONT lever
pulled back until the oscillation ceases. Once the malfunctioning engine has been identified, it should be placed in
LOCKOUT and controlled manually.
1. Slowly retard the ENG POWER CONT lever
on the suspected engine.

If the oscillation stops:
2. Place that engine in LOCKOUT and manually
control the power.

3. LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE.
If the oscillation continues:

9.17 % TRQ SPLIT BETWEEN ENGINES 1 AND 2.
It is possible for a malfunction to occur that can cause a
% TRQ split between engines without a significant change
in % RPM R. The % TRQ split can be corrected by manual
control of the ENG POWER CONT lever on the affected
engine.
1. If TGT TEMP of one engine exceeds the limiter ( 700 849°C , 701C 872°C with low power
engine above 50% TRQ or 896°C with low
power engine below 50% TRQ), retard ENG

POWER CONT lever on that engine to reduce
TGT TEMP. Retard the ENG POWER
CONT lever to maintain torque of the manually controlled engine at approximately 10%
below the other engine.
2. If TGT TEMP limit on either engine is not
exceeded, slowly retard ENG POWER CONT
lever on high % TRQ engine and observe %
TRQ of low power engine.
3. If % TRQ of low power engine increases,
ENG POWER CONT lever on high power engine - Retard to maintain % TRQ approximately 10% below other engine (The high
power engine has been identified as a high side
failure).
4. If % TRQ of low power engine does not increase, or % RPM R decreases, ENG
POWER CONT lever - Return high power engine to FLY (The low power engine has been
identified as a low side failure).
5. If additional power is required, low power
ENG POWER CONT lever, momentarily
move to LOCKOUT and adjust to set % TRQ
approximately 10% below the other engine.

6. LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE.
9.18 ENGINE COMPRESSOR STALL.
An engine compressor stall is normally recognized by a
noticeable bang or popping noise and possible aircraft yaw.
These responses are normally accompanied by the rapid
increase in TGT TEMP and fluctuations in Ng SPEED, %
TRQ, and % RPM reading for the affected engine. In the
event of a compressor stall:
1. Collective - Reduce.

9.22 ROTORS, TRANSMISSIONS AND DRIVE SYSTEMS.

If oil pressure is below minimum limits or if oil temperature remains above maximum limits:

9.22.1 Loss of Tail Rotor Thrust. Failure of the tail
rotor gearbox, intermediate gearbox or tail rotor drive shaft
will result in a loss of tail rotor thrust. The nose of the
helicopter will yaw right regardless of the airspeed at which
the failure occurs. Continued level flight may not be possible following this type failure. Loss of tail rotor thrust at
low speed will result in rapid right yaw. At higher airspeed,
right yaw may develop more slowly but will continue to
increase. Autorotation should be entered promptly. Retard
ENG POWER CONT levers to OFF position during deceleration. Every effort should be made to establish and
maintain an autorotative glide at or above 80 KIAS. This
will maximize the effectiveness of the deceleration during
the landing sequence. If autorotation entry is delayed, large
sideslip angles can develop causing low indicated airspeed
with the stabilator programming down. This can make it
more difficult to establish or maintain adequate autorotative
airspeed.

2. EMER ENG SHUTDOWN (affected engine).
3. Refer to single-engine failure emergency procedure.

9.20 ENGINE HIGH-SPEED SHAFT FAILURE.
Failure of the shaft may be complete or partial. A partial
failure may be characterized at first by nothing more than a
loud high-speed rattle and vibration coming from the engine area. A complete failure will be accompanied by a
loud bang that will result in a sudden % TRQ decrease to
zero on the affected engine. % RPM of affected engine
will increase until overspeed system is activated.
1. Collective - Adjust.
2. EMER ENG SHUTDOWN (affected engine).
Do not attempt to restart.
3. Refer to single-engine failure emergency procedure.

9.21 LIGHTNING STRIKE.

WARNING
Lightning strikes may result in loss of automatic flight control functions, engine
controls, and/or electric power.
Lightning strike may cause one or both engines to immediately produce maximum power with no TGT limiting
or overspeed protection. Systems instruments may also be
inoperative. If this occurs, the flight crew would have to
adjust to the malfunctioning engine(s) power-control lever(s) as required to control % RPM by sound and feel. If

9.22.2 Loss of Tail Rotor Thrust at Low Airspeed/
Hover.
Loss of tail rotor thrust at slow speed may result in
extreme yaw angles and uncontrolled rotation to the right.
Immediate collective pitch reduction should be initiated to
reduce the yaw and begin a controlled rate of descent. If the
helicopter is high enough above the ground, initiate a
power-on descent. Collective should be adjusted so that an
acceptable compromise between rate of turn and rate of
descent is maintained. At approximately 5 to 10 feet above
touchdown, initiate a hovering autorotation by moving the
ENG POWER CONT levers - OFF.
1. Collective - Reduce.
2. ENG POWER CONT levers - OFF (5 to 10

9.22.3 TAIL ROTOR QUADRANT Caution Light On
With No Loss of Tail Rotor Control.

WARNING
If the helicopter is shut down and/or hydraulic power is removed with one tail rotor cable failure, disconnection of the
other tail rotor cable will occur when
force from the boost servo cannot react
against control cable quadrant spring tension. The quadrant spring will displace
the cable and boost servo piston enough
to unlatch the quadrant cable.

malfunction can produce about 30 pounds at the pedal. An
internally jammed yaw trim actuator can produce up to 80
pounds until clutch slippage relieves this force. The pilot
can override any yaw trim force by applying opposite pedal
firmly and then turning off trim. A malfunction within the
yaw boost servo or tail rotor servo can produce much higher
force at the pedals and the affected servo must be turned
off. Hardover failure of the yaw boost servo will increase
control forces as much as 250 pounds on the pedals.
1. Apply pedal force to oppose the drive.
2. TRIM switch - Off.

If normal control forces are not restored:
3. BOOST switch - Off.

Loss of one tail rotor cable will be indicated by illumination of TAIL ROTOR QUADRANT caution light. No
change in handling characteristics should occur.
LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE.

If control forces, normal for boost off flight are not restored:
4. BOOST switch - ON.

9.22.4 TAIL ROTOR QUADRANT Caution Light On
With Loss of Tail Rotor Control.

5. TAIL SERVO switch - BACKUP, if tail rotor
is not restored.

a. If both tail rotor control cables fail, a centering spring
will position the tail rotor servo linkage to provide 10-1/2
degrees of pitch. This will allow trimmed flight at about 25
KIAS and 145 KIAS (these speeds will vary with gross
weight). At airspeed below 25 and above 145 KIAS, right
yaw can be controlled by reducing collective. Between 25
and 145 KIAS, left yaw can be controlled by increasing
collective.

a. If the tail rotor quadrant becomes jammed,
collective control is available, except that
low collective with right pedal or high collective with a left pedal will be restricted.
With a quadrant jam, complete collective
travel is available for most control combinations, provided the pedals are allowed to
move as the collective is displaced.

b. A shallow approach to a roll-on landing technique is
recommended. During the approach, a yaw to the left will
occur. As the touchdown point is approached, a mild deceleration should be executed to reduce airspeed. As collective
is increased to cushion touchdown, the nose of the helicopter will yaw right. Careful adjustment of collective and deceleration should allow a tail-low touchdown with approximate runway alignment. Upon touchdown, lower collective
carefully. Use brakes to control heading.

b. If tail rotor pitch becomes fixed during decreased power situations (right pedal applied), the nose of the helicopter will turn
to the right when power is applied, possibly even greater than complete loss of tail
rotor thrust. Some conditions may require
entry into autorotation to control yaw rate.
If continued flight is possible, a shallow
approach at about 80 KIAS to a roll-on
landing should be made. As the touchdown
point is approached, a mild deceleration
should be executed at about 15 to 25 feet
to reduce airspeed to about 40 KIAS. As
collective is increased to cushion touchdown, the nose of the helicopter will turn
to the right. Careful adjustment of collective and deceleration should allow a taillow touchdown with approximate runway
alignment. Upon

c. If tail rotor pitch becomes fixed during increased power situations (left pedal applied), the nose of the helicopter will turn
left when collective is decreased. Under
these conditions, powered flight to a prepared landing site and a powered landing is
possible since the sideslip angle will probably be corrected when power is applied
for touchdown. Adjust approach speed and
rate of descent to maintain a sideslip angle
of less than 20°. Sideslip angle may be reduced by either increasing airspeed or collective. Execute a decelerated touchdown
tailwheel first, and cushion landing with
collective. Upon touchdown, lower collective carefully and use brakes to control
heading.

TM 1-1520-237-10

The safety of helicopter occupants is the primary consideration when a fire occurs; therefore, it is imperative that
every effort be made to extinguish the fire. On the ground,
it is essential that the engine be shut down, crew and passengers evacuated, and fire fighting begun immediately. If
time permits, a 9Mayday9 radio call should be made before
the electrical power is OFF to expedite assistance from firefighting equipment and personnel. If the helicopter is airborne when a fire occurs, the most important single action
that can be taken by the pilot is to land. Consideration must
be given to jettisoning external stores and turning FUEL
BOOST PUMPS and XFER PUMPS off prior to landing.

9.23.5 Electrical Fire In Flight. Prior to shutting off all
electrical power, the pilot must consider the equipment that
is essential to a particular flight environment which will be
affected, e.g., flight instruments, flight controls, etc. If a

9.29 FLIGHT CONTROL/MAIN-ROTOR
MALFUNCTIONS.

SYSTEM

a. Failure of components within the flight control system may be indicated through varying degrees of feedback,
binding, resistance, or sloppiness. These conditions should
not be mistaken for malfunction of the AFCS.
b. Failure of a main rotor component may be indicated
by the sudden onset or steady increase in main rotor vibration or unusual noise. Severe changes in lift characteristics
and/or balance condition can occur due to blade strikes,
skin separation, shift or loss of balance weights or other
material. Malfunctions may result in severe main rotor flapping. The severity of vibrations may be minimized by reducing airspeed.

9.29.1 SAS Failure With No Failure/Advisory Indication. Erratic electrical input to a SAS actuator can result in moderate rotor tip path oscillations that are often

of the FPS and may possibly cause FPS/SAS 2 to become
erratic in roll motion. In addition to the failure indications
on the IINS Control Display screen, the GYRO segment on
the Failure Advisory Panel will illuminate. The copilot’s
VSI will fail with a ATT warning flag and both HSI’s will

SYSTEMS SELECT - DG/VG.

2. POWER ON RESET switches - Simultaneously press and then release.

If failure returns, control affected axis manually.

WARNING

a. A pitch FPS/trim hardover will cause a change in
pitch attitude and a corresponding longitudinal cyclic
movement of about 1/2 inch. This condition will be detected by the SAS/FPS computer which will disengage FPS
and trim functions in the pitch axis and light the FLT
PATH STAB and TRIM FAIL caution lights.
b. A roll FPS/trim hardover will be characterized by a
1/2 inch lateral stick displacement, resulting in a corresponding roll rate and a constant heading sideslip condition, caused by the yaw FPS attempting to maintain heading. The SAS/FPS computer will detect the hardover
condition and disengage lateral trim and illuminate the FLT
PATH STAB and TRIM FAIL caution lights.
c. A yaw FPS/trim hardover is characterized by an improper motion of the pedals, resulting in about 1/4 inch of
pedal motion followed by a corresponding change in helicopter heading trim. This condition will be detected by the
SAS/FPS computer, which will disengage trim and FPS
functions in the yaw axis and light the FLT PATH STAB
and TRIM FAIL caution lights.
If failure occurs:
POWER ON RESET switches - Simultaneously press and then release.
If failure returns, control affected axis manually.

If the airspeed fault advisory light is illuminated, continued flight above 70 KIAS
with the stabilator in the AUTO MODE is
unsafe since a loss of the airspeed signal
from the remaining airspeed sensor would
result in the stabilator slewing full-down.

9.29.6 Trim Actuator Jammed. Both yaw and roll trim
actuators incorporate slip clutches to allow pilot and copilot
inputs if either actuator should jam. The forces required to
override the clutches are 80 pounds maximum in yaw and
13 pounds maximum in roll.

9.30 STABILATOR MALFUNCTION - AUTO MODE
FAILURE.
An Auto Mode Failure will normally result in the stabilator failing in place. The indications to the pilots of the
failure are a beeping audio warning, and MASTER CAUTION and STABILATOR caution lights illuminating
when the automatic mode fails. The position of failure may
vary from the ideal programmed position by 10° at 30
KIAS to 4° at 150 KIAS. If an approach is made with the
stabilator fixed 0°, the pitch attitude may be 4° to 5° higher
than normal in the 20 to 40 KIAS range.

1. Cyclic mounted stabilator slew-up switch - Adjust if necessary to arrest or prevent nose down
pitch rate.
2. AUTO CONTROL switch - Press ON once
after establishing a comfortable airspeed.

If automatic control is not regained:
3. Manually slew stabilator - Adjust to 0° for
flight above 40 KIAS or full down when airspeed is below 40 KIAS. The preferred method
of manually slewing the stabilator up is to use
the cyclic mounted stabilator slew-up switch.
4. LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE.

WARNING
If acceleration is continued or collective is
decreased with the stabilator in a trailing
edge down position, longitudinal control
will be lost. The stabilator shall be slewed
to 0° above 40 KIAS and full-down when
airspeed is less than 40 KIAS. If the stabilator is slewed up to the 0° position and
the AUTO CONTROL switch is pressed
during acceleration, the helicopter may
pitch to a nose down attitude.
Pressing the AUTO CONTROL RESET
button after a failure occurs results in the
automatic mode coming on for one second. If a hardover signal to one actuator
is present, the stabilator could move approximately 4° to 5° in that one second
before another auto mode failure occurs.
Subsequent reset attempts could result in
the stabilator moving to an unsafe position.
If the stabilator AUTO mode repeatedly
disengages during a flight, flight above 70
KIAS is prohibited with the stabilator in
AUTO mode.
If an AUTO Mode Failure Occurs:
NOTE
Use of cyclic mounted stabilator slew-up
switch should be announced to the crew to
minimize cockpit confusion.

6. LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE.
9.31 UNCOMMANDED NOSE DOWN/UP PITCH ATTITUDE CHANGE.
a. An uncommanded nose down/up pitch attitude
change could be the result of a stabilator or other AFCS
malfunction (SAS or FPS). There is a remote possibility
that a stabilator malfunction could occur in the automatic or
manual mode without audio warning or caution light illumination.
b. If an uncommanded nose down pitch attitude change
is detected, the pilot should initially attempt to stop the rate
with aft cyclic. Maintaining or increasing collective position may assist in correcting for a nose down pitch attitude.
If the nose down pitch rate continues, and/or inappropriate
stabilator movement is observed, activate the cyclic
mounted stabilator slew-up switch to adjust the stabilator to
control pitch attitude. Continue to monitor the stabilator
position when the cyclic mounted stabilator slew-up switch
is released to ensure movement stops.
c. Uncommanded nose up pitch attitude changes at airspeeds of 140 KIAS and less should not become severe
even if caused by full up slew of the stabilator and can be
corrected with forward cyclic. If the nose up pitch attitude
is caused by full up stabilator slew at airspeeds above 140
KIAS, full forward cyclic may not arrest the nose up pitch
rate.
d. If an uncommanded nose up pitch attitude change is
detected, the pilot should initially attempt to stop the rate

TM 1-1520-237-10

with forward cyclic. At airspeeds above 140 KIAS, a collective reduction of approximately 3 inches, simultaneously
with forward cyclic will arrest the nose up pitch rate. If
these control corrections are delayed and/or a large nose up
attitude results, a moderate roll to the nearest horizon will
assist in returning the aircraft to level flight. After the nose
returns to the horizon, roll to a level attitude. After coordination with the pilot, the copilot should adjust the stabilator
to 0° at airspeeds above 40 KIAS and full down at airspeeds below 40 KIAS.

4. MAN SLEW switch - Adjust to 0° at airspeeds
above 40 KIAS and full down at airspeeds below 40 KIAS.

9.35 EXTERNAL EXTENDED RANGE FUEL SYSTEM FAILURE TO TRANSFER SYMMETRICALLY.

1. Make all turns shallow (up to standard rate),
and in the direction away from heavy side (particularly when a right tank remains full).

ERFS

a. Total failure of a single external extended range fuel
system tank to transfer fuel could be the result of a loose
filler cap, bleed-air regulator/shutoff valve, fuel shutoff
valve, or line blockage failure.

2. Avoid abrupt control motions, especially lateral
cyclic.

b. Total failure of one tank to transfer fuel will turn on
the associated tank’s NO FLOW light. Reduced flow from
one tank may not cause a NO FLOW light to go on, but
will change the lateral CG of the helicopter. The pilot will
notice a migration of the lateral cyclic stick position as the
lateral CG offset from neutral increases. For example, a
fully asymmetric outboard 230-gallon tank set (one tank
full, one tank empty), on an otherwise neutrally balanced
helicopter, will result in a level flight lateral stick position
offset of approximately two inches. If asymmetric transfer
is suspected, stop transfer on the selected tank set and initiate transfer on the other tank set, if installed.

4. Select a suitable roll-on landing area, and make
a roll-on landing with touchdown speed in excess of 30 KIAS. To increase control margin,
execute the approach into the wind or with a
front quartering wind from the heavy side and
align the longitudinal axis of the aircraft with
the ground track upon commencing the approach. If a suitable roll-on landing area is not
available, make an approach to a hover into the
wind, or with a front quartering wind from the
heavy side.

If asymmetric fuel transfer is suspected:

3. If possible, shift personnel to the light side of
the helicopter.

FAILURE TO TRANSFER SYMMETRICALLY.
AFMS

1. Stop transfer on tank set.
2. Select other tank set and initiate transfer.
3. LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE.

WARNING
With asymmetric fuel loading, lateral control margin will be reduced in the direction opposite the heavy side. The aircraft
has been flown from hover to 138 KIAS,
with lateral CG equivalent to a fully
asymmetric outboard 230-gallon tank set,
(full right tank, no stores on left side). The
most critical maneuvers are turns toward
the heavy side and approaches with a
crosswind from the lighter side. These
maneuvers are not recommended. The
most adverse condition for lateral controllability is right side heavy, in the 20 to 50
KIAS range. Do not exceed 30° angle of
bank. If controllability is in question, jettison the asymmetric tank set.
Should controlled flight with one heavy external tank
become necessary, proceed as follows:

a. Total failure of a single external extended range fuel
system tank to transfer fuel could be the result of a loose
filler cap, bleed-air regulator/shutoff valve, fuel shutoff
valve, or line blockage failure.
b. Total failure of one tank to transfer fuel will turn on
the associated tank’s NO FLOW light. Reduced flow from
one tank may not cause a NO FLOW light to go on, but
will result in a lateral imbalance between tank pairs whether
AUTO or MAN mode is selected. Occasional monitoring
of the auxiliary fuel management panel (AFMP) fuel quantity displays provides the crew an accurate means of identifying a developing imbalance condition.
When an asymmetric fuel condition (greater than 400
pound difference between external tank pairs) is identified:
1. XFER MODE switch - MAN.

CAUTION

Monitor fuel transfer to remain within
CG limits and avoid asymmetric loading.

4. LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE.

WARNING
With asymmetric fuel loading, lateral control margin will be reduced in the direction opposite the heavy side. The aircraft
has been flown from hover to 138 KIAS,
with lateral CGs equivalent to a fully
asymmetric outboard 230-gallon tank set,
(full right tank, no stores on left side). The
most critical maneuvers are turns toward
the heavy side and approaches with a
crosswind from the lighter side. These
maneuvers are not recommended. The
most adverse condition for lateral controllability is right side heavy, in the 20 to 50
KIAS range. Do not exceed 30° angle of
bank. If controllability is in question, jettison the asymmetric tank set.
Should controlled flight with one heavy external tank
become necessary, proceed as follows:
1. Make all turns shallow (up to standard rate),
and in the direction away from heavy side (particularly when a right tank remains full).
2. Avoid abrupt control motions, especially lateral
cyclic.
3. If possible, shift personnel to the light side of

9.36 EXTERNAL STORES JETTISON.

ES

At high gross weights and with one engine inoperative,
or in an emergency or performance limited situation, it may
be necessary to jettison a tank set. Circuitry prevents the
release of any individual tank even if a single tank jettison
has been selected at the STORES JETTISON control
panel. The helicopter will remain controllable even if a
single tank fails to release because of a malfunction in the
jettison system. In the case of a four tank configuration, and
depending on the amount of fuel in the tanks, lateral control
may be lost if both tanks on one side fail to release. For this
reason the use of the EMER JETT ALL or JETT ALL
switches is not recommended. Only in circumstances where
failure to do so would result in certain damage to aircraft
and crew, should the use of these switches be considered, at
the discretion of the pilot in command.
If jettisoning of tanks is required:
1. STORES JETTISON switch - Select INBD
BOTH, OUTBD BOTH or ALL as applicable.
2. JETT switch - Actuate.

If primary jettison system does not operate:
3. EMER JETT ALL switch - Actuate.
