tooladdict Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Does anybody know of or installed an audio exceedance warning system. Currently we have a second master caution light in our 407. The light is on the pilot's door post. Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vortex Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Peter Jenkin at Aero Dyne Repair has an audio warning system on his data acquisition units that are adjustable by a laptop plugged into the aircraft. They can be set to beep at an exceedance or prior to exceeding depending on your preference. He has them STC'd on 204,205,206,212, AS350,MD500 (maybe more A/C too?). The 407 has its own exceedance recording device so I don't know if Peter has any audio system for it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainman Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 We have one in our 407. Works great! You hear a beeping in the headset when either 100%Tq or redline on the MGT or max NG are attained. One simply lowers the collective and the sound goes away, no exceedance happens as long as you act quick enough. Great for longling etc...

Blackmac Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 As a retired P/E I would contact the manufacturer of said helicopter and ask what they would recommend, if any. Personally I would go with a HUMS system, if you were inclined to use the audio warning system as an indication of over torque or over temp. This system is not infaliable (audio) and could become very costly if pilots started to use them as a standard warning indication.

arctic_front Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 I was under the impression that Mr. Jenkin's audio warning system beeps in increasing tone or speed as you approach the limit, not just at the limit. I may be wrong on that, but that's what I heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooladdict Posted October 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Speaking of Peter Jenkins, I googled Aero Dyne Repair without much success. Yellowpages list a P. Jenkins in Edmonton, is that him? Does anybody have his contact info? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
