Fligh Manual Limitations

[Skidz]

I remember reading a story about someone flying a 500 with bubble window and forgetting the VNE. While in (fast) cruise, the door ripped right off the a/c. :shock: Luckily it didn't take out the t/r on it's way aft...

 

As for mods to skids: Seems to me all the 206s and 500s I've seen doing logging support have thick rubber or pvc "choker protectors" hoseclamped to the skids...

Easy Skidz....hose clamps have been used on 500's for years. The manufacturer utilized them on the oil cooler blower system. Bell used them on starter/gens, my wife uses them on her vib.......ooops? :shock:

Hey Skidz they arent choker protectors they are so the fallers or hill crew don't damage the skids with the spikes on their boots.

[windslapper]

Yeah those spikes are nasty! They sure chewed up the wood layed done on the 214.

What about the 'Accelerate thru yellow arc' on the N2/Nr tach? Anyone still comply?

[Skids Up]

Why wouldn't you? Has there been a notice to discontinue it? If tere has, why is it still on the guage?

[VERTICAL X]

Hey Helilog 56, it sounds like maybe "Heli-loggers DON'T do it deeper" if the woman needs the hose clamp on the little friend.

It's not that Heli-Loggers go deeper it's just that they PULL harder!!

She's gotta keep 'erself busy when her man's "in the bush"...

[Guest sharky]

Exactly, Skids up. I hardly ever see it done. All say "That's for the old 1-piece tail rotor driveshaft, you don't need to do it now"

 

If that is so, why is the arc still there, and why is the instructions still in the fm?
