VIF. TAIL ROTOR MALFUNCTIONS
Because of the
many
differ ent malfunctions that can
occur ,
success
in
coping
with tail r otor malfunctions
depends upon
immediate r e-
cognition
of the condition and use of the
pr oper emer gency pr ocedur e.
The
following
is a descr iption
of the thr ee basic
types
of malfuncr ions
and the
appr opr iate emer gencypr ocedur es
to follow:
A.
Complete
Loss of Tail Rotor Thr ust
This condition can be caused
by
a failur e of the tail r otor
dr ive
system or a failur e of the contr ol
system
which would allow
the blades to assume a neutr al
pitch condition.
i.
Hover ing Flight
When tail r otor thr ust is lost in
hover ing flight
the heli-
copter
will r otate

high fr equency
vibr ations
usually or iginate
fr om the
engine,
dr ive
system,
or tail r otor .
Any
abnor mal vibr ations ar e an indication that
something
is not cor r ect and
should be r efer r ed to a mechanic befor e fur ther flight.
If a vibr ation
suddenly appear s dur ing
a flight,
it is an indication that
something
has
suddenly changed.
The
helicopter
should be landed as soon as pr actical
and
inspected
to find the cause of the vibr ation. After the cause of the
vibr ation has been identified, the
pilot
and the mechanic can deter mine
whether the
helicopter
can be
safely
flown or should be
r epair ed
on the
spot.
An abnor mal vibr ation is r eason to
get
the air cr aft down as soon as
possible,
but the
pilot
must also use caution and select the safest

III LON)ING INFORMATION
A. It is the
r esponsibility
of the
helicopter pilot
to insur e that
the
helicopter
is loaded
pr oper ly. Using
the basic
weight
and
moment fr om For m F-165A
(Fig. 6,8)
and the
Loading Char t, (Fig 6.5)
the
pilot
can obtain the total
weight
and moment for var ious load-
ing
conditions. The
pilot
should fir st calculate the total
weight
and moment for zer o usable fiiel as this will show the.C.G. shift
with fuel bur n-off. If the C.G. is within
limits,
add the
planned
fuel load and
compute
the C.G. If the C.G. is within limits the
last item to check is the later al offset moment
using
the stations
in Section II B and
Fig.
6.2.

a.utor otation
thr oughout
the
complete r ange
of

This
adjustment
was made befor e the
helicopter
left the
factor y,
and should not
need to be
changed
if the
helico pter
is
oper ated
out of a base
near sea level with the
or iginal
blades. However , if the heli-
copter
is
oper ated
out of a base at an altitude of 6000 feet or
higher ,
the autor otation
r pm
should be checked and
r eadjusted as
necessar y.
In
addition,
if the
helicopter
was
oper ated
out of a
base above 5000 feet and is moved to a lower altitude,
the
autor otation
r pm
should be checked.
Finally,
the autor otation
r pm
should be checked if the main r otor blades ar e over hauled or
changed.
The
pr ocedur e
to check the autor otation
r pm
is
descr ibed below. The
adjustment pr ocedur e
is descr ibed in
Section 12 of the Maintenance Manual.
b) AUTOROTATION RPM CHECK
The autor otation
r pm
should be
adjusted
to
comply
with the
schedules shown in
Figur es
8.1 and 8.2.
Figur e
8.1 should be
used if the
helicopter
is based at a location below 6000 feet.
Figur e
8.2 should be used if the
helicopter
is based at a
location above 6000 feet. To check the autor otation
r pm, pr oceed
as follows:
1) Deter mine the
weight
of the
helicopter
as it will be flown
(see
Section
6).
It is
impor tant
to
accur ately
know the
gr oss weight
of the
helicopter including
fuel and
occupants
dur ing
this test.
2)
Establish the
helicopter
in a stabilized autor otation at
60
mph
with the collective full down. Do not allow the
r otor
r pm
to exceed 385
r pm
or to fall below 332
r pm.
This
autor otation should be conducted over a suitable
landing
ar ea in case of
engine
failur e. The autor otation should be
enter ed
high enough
to allow the
pilot
to stabilize the
autor otation at a safe altitude.
3) Once the autor otation is stabilized,
r ecor d the r otor
r pm,
the outside air
temper atur e (OAT), and the
pr essur e
altitude
(with the altimeter set to 29.92
in-hg).
It is
impor tant
that the autor otation is stabilized befor e these

4) Compa
r e these r eadi
ng
s wi th the infor mation pr ovided

II. DESCRIPTION
The
auxiliar y
fuel tank is a
13-gallon
tank with 12.7
gallons
of usable
fuel and .3
gallons
of unusable fuel. It consists of a foam-filled,
neopr ene
bladder inside an aluminum case. It is installed in the
baggage
box with a line
r unning
to the main fuel tanks. The
auxiliar y
fuel tank
is
equipped
with a 12-volt electr ic
pump
which is used to tr ansfer the
fuel fr om the
auxiliar y
tank to the main tanks. The
auxiliar y
fuel tank
is
designed
to be
quickly
installed and r emoved.
Fuel tr ansfer is contr olled
by a switch on the lower
r ight
switch
panel.
Tur ning
the switch on tr ansfer s the fuel fr om the
auxiliar y
tank to the
main tanks. An indicator
light near the fuel tr ansfer switch will illumi-
nate when all of the fuel in the
auxiliar y
fuel tank has been tr ansfer r ed
to the main tanks. The fuel must be in the main tanks to
supply
the
engine.
This
system
is not
designed
to r un the
engine dir ectly
fr om the
auxiliar y
fuel tanks. The fuel tr ansfer r ate is
appr oximately
25
gallons
per
hour ,and takes
appr oximately
one-half hour to
complete.
Because cer tain
passenger
load/fuel load combinations
may
move the center
of
gr avity
outside of the
appr oved envelope, pr ovisions
have been included
for
stor age
of the
gr ound handling
wheels in a for war d inter nal location.
In addition to
allowing
a
gr eater var iety
of
loading,
the inter nal
stor age
of the
gr ound handling
wheels should incr ease the cr uise
speed by appr oxi-
mately
2%. The wheels have been
designed
to mount
immediately
ahead of
the instr ument console and the wheel bar on the cabin floor next to the
r ight-hand
door fr ame.
