INTRODUCTION

GENERAL
It is the responsibility of the flight crew to be familiar with the contents of this
manual.

REVISIONS (RE-ISSUES)
This manual is subject to revisions (re-issues) which will be automatically dis-
tributed to all holders of the manual. It is the responsibility of the operator to
assure that the revisions (re-issues) are incorporated into the manual upon
receipt.
At the beginning of the manual there is the ”Record of Revision” table that
shows all pages of the manual which have been revised as well as number,
subject and approval reference of each revision.

REVISION SYMBOL
Revised text is indicated by a black vertical line on the outer margin of the
page, adjacent to the affected text and the revision number is printed in the
lower inner margin. The revision symbol identifies the addition of new informa-
tion, a change of procedure, the correction of an error, or a rewording of the
previous information.

TEMPORARY REVISIONS
Temporary Revisions are issued when immediate data is to be included in the
manual. The Temporary Revision data can add to or cancel the initial data in
the manual. They are numbered progressively for each section of the manual
and are printed on blue paper. Temporary Revision pages are not written in
the ”Record of Effective Pages”. A complete list of active and inactive Tem-
porary Revisions is written in the ”Record of Temporary Revisions” page.

TERMINOLOGY

WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND NOTES


Warnings, Cautions and Notes are used throughout this manual to emphasize
important and critical instructions and are used as follows:

WARNING
An operating procedure, practice, etc., which, if not correctly fol-
lowed, could result in personal injury or loss of life.

CAUTION
An operating procedure, practice, etc., which, if not strictly
observed, could result in damage to, or destruction of, equip-
ment.

Note
An operating procedure, condition, etc., which is essential to
highlight.

USE OF PROCEDURAL WORDS


The concept of procedural word usage and intended meaning which has been
adhered to in preparing this RFM is as follows:
”Shall” or ”Must” have been used only when application of a procedure is
mandatory.
”Should” has been used only when application of a procedure is re-com-
mended.
”May” has been used only when application of a procedure is optional.
”Will” has been used only to indicate futurity, never to indicate a mandatory
procedure.
”Condition” has been used to determine if the item under examination pre-

CATEGORY B OPERATION LIMITATIONS


The CAT B W.A.T. Limits chart, Figure 1-7 to Figure 1-9, are used to define the
maximum HIGE Take-Off and Landing weight for the given ambient conditions
and zero wind.
The CAT B W.A.T. Limits chart, Figure 1-11 to Figure 1-13, are used to define
the maximum Rolling Take-Off weight for the given ambient conditions and
zero wind.
For CAT B Take Off and Landing with crosswind conditions up to 45 kts, the
lowest weight defined by either the appropriate CAT B WAT or the appropriate
WAT for HIGE Controllability Figure 1-15 to Figure 1-22 must be used.
CAT B Take -Off and Landing with tail wind must be avoided.
(See Flight Planning in Section 2 for examples of using the CAT B W.A.T. Lim-
its chart).

HEIGHT-VELOCITY LIMITATIONS
The Height-Velocity envelope has been split between the high hover condi-
tions and the Take-Off Corridor. The procedures and associated weights
defined in Section 4 guarantee that a Safe Vertical Reject or Flyaway can
always be carried out in a safe manner from a hover out of ground effect fol-
lowing a single engine failure.
A safe vertical reject can always be carried out from a HIGE condition up to
15 ft at Max Weight.
Cat B Take Off and Landing procedures and associated WAT charts, included
in this section, ensures the aircraft is within the take off corridore of the H-V
envelope.

SECTION 2
PROCEDURES

Section 2 Procedures is split into two sections as follows:

Section 2A: Normal Procedures


Section 2A details the procedures for conducting a flight with all systems oper-
ating. The procedures are listed sequentially by phase of flight, starting with
exterior inspection and extending through to post flight actions.

Section 2B: Supplementary Procedures


Section 2B contains the additional normal procedures which are alternative
operations for specific operating condition and can be carried out when the sit-
uation dictates for convenience or requirement.

GENERAL
The normal and supplementarty procedures detailed are the result of exten-
sive flight tests and experience with the AW189 aircraft. They are fundamental
to ensure that the level of safety required by the design and certification pro-
cess is achieved.

Note
Throughout this Section, checks marked with a large are
required once every 24 hour period. All other checks are to be
carried out before each flight.
Normal and standard conditions are assumed in these procedures. Pertinent
data in other sections is referenced where applicable.
Capital letters are used in the procedures to indicate the labeling of switches,
selections to be made or caution/warning messages.
The minimum and maximum limits, and the normal and cautionary operating
ranges are indicated on the PFD and MFD displays, Refer to Section 1 for
details on operating limitations.

EASA Approved FOR TRAINING ONLY Issue 1 Page 2-1


Section 2 AW189 - RFM
Procedures Document N°
189G0290X002

Each time an operating limitation is exceeded, an appropriate entry must be


made in the log book (helicopter, engine, etc). The entry shall state which limit
was exceeded, duration, the extreme value attained, and any additional infor-
mation essential in determining the maintenance action required.

SECTION 2A
NORMAL PROCEDURES

FLIGHT PLANNING

CATEGORY B WEIGHT DETERMINATION


Graphs are presented in Section 1 to determine maximum weight allowable
for CAT B Take-Off and Landing.
The maximum weight for CAT B Take-Off is dependant on the procedure
required (HIGE or Rolling Take-Off) and whether there is zero crosswind (or
±10° nose wind) or a crosswind component.
The maximum weight for CAT B Landing is dependant on whether there is
zero crosswind (or ±10° nose wind) or a cross wind component.
The WAT CAT B HIGE Take-Off/Landing graphs (Figure 1-7 to Figure 1-10)
are used to determine the maximum gross weight for a HIGE Take-Off and
Landing with zero crosswind (or ±10° nose wind) conditions.
The WAT CAT B Rolling Take-Off (Figure 1-11 to Figure 1-14) are used to
determine the maximum gross weight for a Rolling Take-Off with zero cross-
wind (or ±10° nose wind) conditions.
If, however, Take-Off (HIGE or Rolling) and Landing is to be carried out with
crosswind conditions then the WAT for HIGE Controllability (Figure 1-15 to
Figure 1-22) must also be consulted and the minimum gross weight found
from the graphs must be used.

Example 1:
Determine the maximum CAT B Take-Off HIGE procedure weight for the
following ambient conditions:
— Pressure Altitude = 4000 ft
— OAT = +15° C
— Crosswind = 0 kts
— Anti Ice OFF
— Heater OFF.

EASA Approved FOR TRAINING ONLY Issue 1 Page 2A-1


Section 2A AW189 - RFM
Normal Procedures Document N°
189G0290X002

Solution:

Using the WAT CAT B HIGE Take-Off/Landing Chart Anti Ice OFF, Heater
OFF/ON Figure 1-7, on the Pressure Altitude axis from 4000 ft move right
to intersect +15 °C line (the lines for temperatures below 28 °C converge
at this altitude). Drop down vertically from this point to the GW axis for a
weight of 8300 kg.

Example 2:
Determine the maximum CAT B Take-Off HIGE procedure weight for the
following ambient conditions:
— Pressure Altitude = 5500 ft
— OAT = +25 °C
— Crosswind = 25 kts
— Anti Ice OFF
— Heater OFF.

Solution:
Using the WAT CAT B HIGE Take-Off/Landing Chart Anti Ice OFF, Heater
OFF/ON Figure 1-7, on the Pressure Altitude axis from 5500 ft move right
to intersect +25 °C line. This point requires interpolating between the 20
°C (green line that is terminated on the dotted Hd 8000 ft limit) and the 30
°C line (that is terminated on the 8000 ft Hd limit). Drop down vertically
from this point to the GW axis for a weight of 8000 kg.
For this example there is a cross wind of 25 kts which is within the Wind/
Ground/Airspeed Azimuth Envelope for HIGE Controllability Figure 1-23,
then the WAT for TOP HIGE controllability Anti Ice OFF, Heater OFF chart
Figure 1-15 must also consulted to determine the minimum gross weight
between the two WAT charts. On Figure 1-15 from the Pressure Altitude
axis at 5500 ft move right to intersect +25 °C line (interpolated between
the 20 °C and 30 °C lines). Drop down vertically from this point to the GW
axis for a weight of 7650 kg.
Therefore the maximum gross weight allowable for the ambient condition
and cross wind is 7650 kg.

Example 3:
Determine CAT B Rolling Take-Off weight for the following ambient condi-
tions:
— Pressure Altitude = 5000 ft
— OAT = +20 °C
— Crosswind = 0 kts
— Anti Ice OFF
— Heater OFF

Solution:
Using the CAT B W.A.T. Rolling Take-Off Chart Anti Ice OFF, Heater OFF/
ON Figure 1-11, on the Pressure Altitude axis from 4000 ft move right to
intersect +20 °C line. Drop down vertically to the GW axis for a weight of
8170 kg.

GROSS WEIGHT AND CENTER OF GRAVITY


Determine both the take-off and estimated landing Gross Weight, Center of
Gravity and verify that they are within approved envelope limits. The Weight
and Balance, Section 6, and appropriate performance charts, Section 4, must
be used to obtain the weight and balance data as follows:

— Consult Section 6 Weight and Balance

— Obtain weight of fuel, oil, payload etc

— Compute Take-Off and anticipated gross landing weight (Section 4)

— Check helicopter centre of gravity (CG) position

— Confirm that the weight and CG limitations in Section 1 are not exceeded.

COLD WEATHER OPERATION


If the helicopter is to remain parked outside with an OAT at or below -20 °C
both Main and Auxiliary (if fitted) batteries should be removed and stored in a
heated room. Confirm batteries have been installed before flight.

EXTERNAL PRE-FLIGHT CHECKS

GENERAL
The inspection commences at the nose and continues clockwise around the
helicopter. During the inspection, check that there are no leaks from overboard
drains, that all vents, air intakes, air outlets and fire access points are clear of
obstructions, and all access panels and antennas are secure.

Pilot’s Pre Flight Check


The following procedure outlines the pilot walk around and interior checks
(Figure 2A-1).

ENGINE STARTING

ABORTED ENGINE START PROCEDURES

CAUTION
Failure to follow the Abort Procedure may cause damage to the
engine.

Engine starting malfunctions are most likely to occur during the engine accel-
eration cycle to IDLE speed. The list below details the cockpit indications
associated with malfunctions and the recommended Abort Procedure. It is
important that flight crews be thoroughly familiar with these procedures.
Monitor engine start and if any of the following occur:

— light up is not within 18 seconds of NG initial indications

— abnormal noise heard

— ITT increases beyond engine limits (HOT START caution illuminated) or


start terminated by engine control at 963°C.

— engine hangs (stagnation in NG below idle value)

— no indication of oil pressure within 30 seconds of ENG MODE to IDLE/


FLT.

— the main rotor has not begun to rotate when the gas generator (NG)
reaches 40%

— if engine starter fails to disengage by 52% ±2%NG.

shut down engine by:


1. ENG MODE switch — OFF
2. Fuel XFEED switch — CLSD
3. FUEL PUMP — OFF

Do not use aft cyclic to slow the aircraft. The use of large cyclic
displacements in conjunction with low collective can cause main
rotor hub and cowling damage.

Note
To obtain best braking action the collective should be set to
MPOG before applying pedal brakes.

Note
The nose wheel steering will self centre and lock as soon as the
helicopter lifts off.

Note
Turning, whilst taxiing, should be carried out with collective at
minimum pitch and cyclic central or as required to compensate
for crosswind.

FLIGHT HANDLING
The rotation of the main rotor is anti-clockwise when viewed from above.
Handling is conventional in normal forward, sideways and rearwards flight
manoeuvres. Collective lever forces are light, but may be increased by apply-
ing friction.

AUTOROTATIVE DESCENT
1. Smoothly reduce collective to enter autorotation.
2. Maximum NR 110%.

CAUTION
Rotor speed is sensitive in low power descent and autorotation
and large NR changes are produced by changes in normal
acceleration (G). Care is needed to avoid exceeding limits.

3. Adjust attitude to obtain approximately 80 KIAS.


4. To recover to powered flight, slowly increase collective pitch until
freewheels are joined and at least 15% torque is indicated. Finally,
increase power, gently, in not less than 3 seconds, to arrest the rate of
descent.

FLIGHT CONTROLS

CYCLIC TRIMMING
The force trim release button (FTR) on the cyclic stick should be kept
depressed during all large stick movements. Upon releasing the trim release
button, the attitude hold is restored.
For small attitude adjustments in the hover or in forward flight (± 2 to 3 kts), the
system beep trim mode (TRIM) can be used. Operation of the cyclic beep trim
switch causes the trim system to change the reference at 5 degrees per sec-
ond in roll and 3°/sec in pitch or 2°/sec in pitch for airspeed above 120 KIAS.
When the pitch reference bug is passing the new desired attitude, the switch is
released and the aircraft will settle on the new pitch attitude.
It is recommended to use the beep trim to change the attitude, however, a
combination of trim release and beep trim may also be used.

COLLECTIVE TRIMMING
The “push and hold” collective lever trim release button (FTR) is depressed to
disengage the spring feel mechanism which enables the collective to be
moved freely. When the button is released, the spring feel is re-datumed to
zero force.

YAW TRIMMING
Lateral operation of the collective lever CLTV/YAW 4-way trim switch alters the
slip or skid command to either offset a small accelerometer misalignment, or
to purposely offset the tail alignment.
Additionally, at speeds above 40 KIAS the coordinated turn facility enables the
aircraft to carry out balanced turns, below 40 KIAS or if the mode HOV is
engaged Low Speed Heading hold is active. Feet should not be rested on the
pedals if heading hold or turn coordination facilities are required.

AFCS GENERAL INFORMATION


The AFCS modes provide functions for automatic flight path control around
the three axes of the aircraft plus collective.
The AFCS modes use the Navigation source and data reference presented on
the on-side PFD. The on-side PFD is indicated by the green PFD couple arrow
which is controlled by the “FD SEL” button on the DCP Control Panel (See
Figure 2).
Armed and captured FD modes are displayed with messages along the top
line of the PFD: Collective and pitch mode messages on the left of the
selected PFD arrow and lateral mode on the right. Armed modes are in white
characters and captured or engaged modes are in green characters. When
transitioning from no mode to engaged, from armed to captured or changing
from one mode to another mode a green box around the mode caption flashes
for 5 seconds then extinguishes. When changing from captured to no mode
the caption extinguishes and is replaced by a green box which flashes for 5
seconds then extinguishes.
Armed lateral modes messages are: VOR, VAPP, LOC, NAV and captured
VOR, VAPP, OS, LOC, NAV, HDG, HOV.
Armed vertical (collective) modes are: GS, and captured ALT, GS, VS, GA,
ALTA, ALVL, RHT.
Engaged longitudinal modes are IAS, HOV, GA.
A chime sounds whenever either a lateral, longitudinal, or vertical (collective)
AFCS mode changes from its previous state, i.e.

— a mode changes from engaged to disengaged or vice-versa

— a mode changes from arm to captured


An aural tone (“bip-bip”) sounds for any change in altitude or radar height
mode reference datum or a change in baro setting of the on-side PFD.

BASIC AFCS ATTITUDE CONTROL


— Attitude Hold (ATT)
Provides long term attitude retention in pitch, roll and yaw axes.
— Wing-Level (WLVL)
When activated using the button on the cyclic stick the system automati-
cally resets and holds the pitch and roll attitude datums at 6.5 degrees
nose up and 0 degrees respectively.
— Stability Augmentation (SAS) - only for degraded operation
Provides short term rate damping whenever the pilot is active on the flight
controls either in fly-through mode or in trim release mode.

BASIC AFCS CONTROL FUNCTIONS


— Collective Decoupling (C-DCPL)
Provides automatic correction to pitch, roll and yaw axes for collective
pitch change cross coupling effects.
— Auto-Trim (ATRIM)
Provides automatic linear actuator re-centering throught actuation of the
lateral and longitudinal cyclic trims and also the yaw trim.
— Stability Command Augmentation in Fly-Through (SAF/SCAS)
Provides enhanced helicopter response to pilot control inputs by adjusting
the amount of attitude damping as a function of the flight control displace-
ment.
— Turn-Coordination (TC)
Provides automatic ball centering during turns.

COLLECTIVE SAFETY FUNCTION


The AFCS features a Collective Safety Function that constantly monitors
engine power levels/MGB TQ and helicopter height above ground. This func-
tion is automatically activated whenever a collective upper mode is engaged
and provides the following functions:

— AFCS Power Limiting: This limits the AFCS collective pitch demand dur-
ing high power phases of flight to prevent both MGB and engine limits
from being exceeded. When the AFCS power limiting is active, the amber
caption PWR LIM is displayed on the PFD (see page 3-222). The function
activates to limit the maximum PI value in accordance with the following:
AEO conditions with IAS less than 90 KIAS: PI maximum 113%
AEO conditions with IAS greater than 90 KIAS: PI maximum 97%
OEI conditions wih IAS less than 90 KIAS: PI maximum 155%
OEI conditions with IAS greater than 90 KIAS: PI maximum 132%

— AFCS Autorotation protection: This limits the minimum collective pitch


demanded by the AFCS during steep descents to prevent entry into autor-
otation. The function activates when the engine TQ drops below 15%.

— AFCS LOW HEIGHT: This prevents a descent below 15 ft RAD ALT


height in hover or 40 ft RAD ALT height in forward flight.
If these low height thresholds are inadvertently exceeded the system will
automatically increase collective as necessary to take the helicopter back
to the threshold values (15 ft hover or 40 ft level flight).

FMS (FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM) OPERATION

GENERAL
Normal operating procedures are outlined in the Flight Management System
(FMS) Pilots Manual for the AW 189 applicable to the software version
installed on the aircraft.

DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATION OF TERMS


Area navigation (RNAV). A method of navigation which permits aircraft oper-
ation on any desired lateral track within the coverage of ground or space-
based navigation aids or within the limits of the capability of self-contained
aids, or a combination of these.
Navigation application. The application of a navigation specification and the
supporting NAVAID infrastructure, to routes, procedures, and/or defined air-
space volume, in accordance with the intended airspace concept.
Navigation specification. A set of aircraft and aircrew requirements needed
to support Performance-based Navigation operations within a defined air-
space. There are two kinds of navigation specification:

RNAV specification. A navigation specification based on area navigation


that does not include the requirement for on-board performance monitor-
ing and alerting, designated by the prefix RNAV, e.g.

RNAV 5, RNAV 1.

RNP (Required Navigation Performance) specification. A navigation


specification based on area navigation that includes the requirement for
on-board performance monitoring and alerting, designated by the prefix
RNP, e.g. RNP 4, RNP APCH.
Performance-based navigation (PBN). Area navigation based on perfor-
mance requirements for aircraft operating along an ATS route, on an instru-
ment approach procedure or in a designated airspace.
RNAV system. A navigation system (as part of a Flight Management System
(FMS)) which permits aircraft operation on any desired lateral track within the
coverage of station-referenced navigation aids or within the limits of the capa-
bility of self-contained aids, or a combination of these.
Receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (RAIM). A form of ABAS
whereby a GNSS receiver processor determines the integrity of the GNSS
navigation signals using only GPS signals. This determination is achieved by
a consistency check among redundant pseudo-range measurements.

INTRODUCTION
The published navigation chart displays the PBN requirement box, on the plan
view of the chart immediately below the chart identifier; the PBN box includes
the identification of the navigation specification used in the procedure design,
any navigation sensor limitations and any required functionalities. With
regards to the navigation specification the chart reports one of the following:
RNAV5, RNAV1, RNP 1, Advanced RNP and RNP 0.3.
The FMS is capable of operations in airspace designated for Precision RNAV
(P-RNAV) or RNAV 1 and Basic RNAV (B-RNAV) or RNAV 5 Navigation Spec-
ification providing all Navigation information necessary for the aircraft to per-
mit the navigation along any desired flight path within the coverage of space
referenced NAVAIDs (the GNSS system, if available, augmented with SBAS
system) and provide, if coupled, Lateral Guidance inputs to the AFCS .

BASIC OPERATIONS
The FMS is able to keep the aircraft within the accuracy level required for P-
RNAV/RNAV1 operations better than ±1 NM (for >> 95% of the flight time).
The RNAV Navigation Specification of P-RNAV/RNAV1 is applicable for En-
Route Navigation and Terminal airspace including Departures, Arrivals and
Approaches up to the point of the Final Approach Waypoint (FAF) and Missed
Approach up to MAWP (Missed Approach Waypoint) or MAHWP (Missed
Approach Holding Waypoint).
P-RNAV/RNAV1 Flight Management System enables the aircraft to be navi-
gated along a path defined by waypoints and procedures held in an on-board
Navigation Database, within the RNAV’s required accuracy performance lim-
its. The Vertical Navigation performance is not part of the RNAV capability of
the FMS.
For the NPA Approach (Non Precision Approach – “Precision-Like” Approach)
the FMS enables the loading from NAV DB into the active flight plan (LEGS) of
the following approaches as designated under ICAO and part 97: “NDB”,
“NDB/DME”, “VOR” and “VOR/DME”. The FMS is able to fly these NPA
Approaches with the requested precision based on NDB/VOR/DME.
For the ILS and LOC approaches the FMS enables the loading from NAV DB
into the active flight plan (LEGS) in order to provide the Lateral guidance up to
intercept correctly the Localizer cone of ILS/LOC approach before the FAP for
automatic transition from FMS to ILS as navigation source when the LOC pre-
view has been previously activated. With regard to the FAS (Final Approach
Segment) from FAP to MAP, the FMS is not authorized to fly the FAS segment
with FMS steering (NAV mode coupled only). The FAS segment must be flown
with LOC/GS modes.

In order to be capable of performing P-RNAV/RNAV1 operations the FMS
automatically determines aircraft position in the horizontal plane using inputs
from two Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers TSO’d C145c
class Beta-3; both GNSS receivers are able to provide the GPS position with
SBAS (Satellite-Based Augmentation System) augmented accuracy if the air-

ture (SID) procedure, if required.
— Select the Destination airport, from NAV DB, the Standard Terminal Arrival
(STAR) procedure, if required.
— Select the Destination airport, from NAV DB, the Runway and Approach
procedure if required.
— If required insert an alternate destination airport and relative waypoints of
En-Route to alternate destination.
— If required on LEGS pages activate a flyover attribute and/or A/B(AT alti-
tude constraints (only for reference in active FPL, VNAV mode not avail-
able).
— If required on LEGS pages activate the holding procedure on waypoint.
— If P-RAIM of destination is required press the GPS (5L) key on FMS page
and select the GNSS unit is use. Press the P-RAIM key (6R) to perform
the Predictive RAIM function on Destination waypoint.

IN-FLIGHT OPERATIONS

General
The PROGRES (PRG) pages are considered the primary pages of the FMS
during flight providing the RNP and EPU (Estimated Position Uncertainty) of
aircraft during PBN Navigation.
Once activated, the active flight plan may be flown coupled to AFCS through
the NAV mode only (Lateral Guidance) once the NAV annunciation is dis-
played on PF’s PFD.
The FMS set automatically the lateral full scale deflection (2 dots) of Lateral
deviation on HSI equal to RNP for currently phase of flight: RNP 2 NM in En-
Route, RNP 1 NM in P-RNAV/RNAV1 Terminal procedures and RNP 0.5 in

NPA Approach phase of Flights; both phase of flight provides a full-scale


deflection suitable for RNAV 1 operations.

Note
In case of Manual change of RNP value do not set a value
below 1 NM.

Departure, Climb
— Set altitude selector at the reference altitude cleared by ATC/ACC.
— If required, activate the SID procedure of Origin airport from NAV DB.
— Arm the AFCS NAV mode with FMS as Primary Navigation source.

Cruise
— Set altitude selector at the reference altitude cleared by ATC/ACC.
— Monitor the leg of active flight plan sequencing on MFD (FPLN pages:
Rose, Arc, Plan) and/or on the MCDU display (LEGS pages).
— Monitor the Lateral Path Deviation with respect to the DTK of active leg on
PF’s PFD HSI and/or the XTE (Cross Track Error) value on MFD.
— During the flight, check the Auto-Tuning function in order to have the
NAV1 and NAV2 receivers tuned with the appropriate ground NAVAIDs.
— During the flight, where feasible, the flight progress should be monitored
for navigational reasonableness, by cross-checks with conventional
NAVAIDs using the primary displays in conjunction with the RNAV Naviga-
tion data on PFD/MFD.
— During the flight, where feasible, the cleared active flight plan on LEGS
page of MCDU or MAP display of MFD should be cross-checked by com-
parison with charts or other applicable resources.
— If required activate the Airway.

Descent
— Set altitude selector at the reference altitude cleared by ATC/ACC.
— If required, activate the STAR procedure of Destination airport from NAV
DB.
— If required, activate the NPA approach of Destination airport from NAV
DB.

AUTOPILOT COUPLED RNAV OPERATION WITH FMS


To couple the FMS Lateral Guidance function (NAV) to AFCS:

— Select, on PFD NAV bezel’s button FMS1 or FMS2 as Primary Navigation


source for the aircraft.

— Press the NAV key on the AFCS panel.

ENGAGING THE NAV MODE TO THE FMS STEERING


The Desired Track Pointer within the HSI and the FMS1/2 DTK source indica-
tor on PFD will turn to magenta (from cyan).
Active leg on MAP page on MFD will turn in magenta (from cyan).

FMS NAVIGATION ANNUNCIATORS


1. Message (MSG)

MSG is an annunciation (amber) displayed on both PFDs and on the


MCDU. This annunciation is displayed when a message is available in
the MSG page. The annunciation is removed after the message has
been acknowledged from the MSG page of MCDU. Messages are dis-
played in the MCDU MSG page at various times. They inform or alert the
pilot as to system status.

The Alerting Messages “UNABLE RNP” in conjunction with RNP digital


readout value and FMS DGR alerting annunciator on both PFDs in
amber colour provide the pilot the information that the FMS is no longer
capable of performing the required RNAV Navigation Specification
(P-RNAV/RNAV1).
2. RNP Digital Readout (RNP X.XX NM)

The RNP digital readout is displayed on the PFD display whenever the
FMS is selected as the Primary Navigation Source. The RNP display
indicates to the pilot that 2 dots deflection in Lateral Deviation display
within the HSI is equal to the RNP value.

Note
The pilot must notify ATC when the RNAV performance ceases
to meet the requirements for P-RNAV/RNAV1. The communica-
tions to ATC must be in accordance with the authorized proce-
dures

3. OFST (Lateral OFFSET) – OFST is an advisory (cyan/magenta if NAV


coupled) annunciation.
4. TRNS (TRANS) – TRNS is an advisory (green) annunciation.
5. APPR (APPROACH) – APPR is an advisory (green) annunciation.
For a complete list of FMS messages and description refer FMS AW189 Pilots
Guide, 189G4600X005, latest edition.

FMS INCONSISTENCIES

AFCS/DISPLAY INCONSISTENCIES
The following characteristic of the AFCS and display system will be observed:

— When HOV mode is engaged and the pilot wants to temporarily modify
the ground speed by cyclic inputs against the force feel this should be car-
ried out using a series of small inputs and after each input the cyclic
should return into the detent position within 3 seconds to avoid a MIS-
TRIM condition.

— In Over Station phase (indicated by OS caption on PFD) the VOR mode


may disengage with an automatic reversion to HDG mode. The VOR
mode should be re-engaged when exiting the Cone of Confusion.

— The airspeed trend vector indication next to the airspeed scale is not reli-
able and should be disregarded.

AW189 - RFM Section 3
Document N° Emergency and
189G0290X002 Malfunction Procedures

SECTION 3
EMERGENCY AND MALFUNCTION
PROCEDURES

INTRODUCTION
This section contains the procedures that must be performed in the event of
an emergency or malfunction. These procedures are based on experience
acquired in the operation of helicopters, in general, and on flight tests con-
ducted on this particular helicopter type.
The procedures used in each actual emergency or malfunction must result
from consideration of the complete situation. In the case of multiple emergen-
cies/malfunctions or in the unlikely event of a double system failure then the
pilot must first consult the procedures for the failured systems and then, taking
into consideration the overall aircraft situation, the resolution of the malfunc-
tions must be decided by the pilot and may require a departure from normal
corrective procedures detailed in this section.
All corrective action procedures listed herein assume the pilot gives first prior-
ity to aircraft control and safe flight path.

PROCEDURES LOGIC
The majority of the Emergency and Malfunction procedures that follow are
presented in the form of logic trees (flow charts). These flow charts have been
formulated based on analysis and test of the cockpit indications that would be
available to the flight crew following the failures/malfunctions that are included
in this section. For complex failures/malfunctions, cockpit indications coupled
with the answers to “Yes/No“ type questions (as indicated on the charts utiliz-
ing a decision symbol ) should enable the flight crew to analyse the type
of failure/malfunction that has occurred, the branch of the ”tree” that should be
followed and the corrective action that should be taken.
In order to analyse some types of failures/malfunctions, answers to “+“, “IF“,
“AND“ and “OR“ statements may be required. In these cases, the statements
are presented in italic text (“+“, “IF“, “AND“, “OR“), as an attention getting
device. It is stressed that attention should be paid to this symbology to avoid a
mistake in the emergency/malfunction analysis and subsequent incorrect crew
action. Required flow chart crew actions are proceeded by “-”.

SAFE OEI FLIGHT


In general safe OEI flight is defined to mean (1) a sustainable airspeed of not
less than 50 KIAS, (2) the ability to obtain a positive rate of climb at acceptable
power levels and (3) an altitude which provides sufficient clearance from the
ground/obstacles so that required manoeuvring can be reasonably achieved.
At crew discretion, other procedural checks/actions may be carried out while
these conditions are being established.

EMERGENCY LANDING GUIDANCE


Throughout this Section, three terms are used to indicate the degree of
urgency with which a landing must be effected. In cases where extremely haz-
ardous landing conditions exist such as dense bush, heavy seas or mountain-
ous terrain, the final decision as to the urgency of landing must be made by
the pilot.
Land immediately: Land at once, even if for example this
means ditching or landing in trees. The
consequences of continued flight are
likely to be more hazardous than those of
landing at a site normally considered
unsuitable.
Land as soon as possible: Do not continue flight for longer than is
necessary to achieve a safe and unhur-
ried landing at the nearest site.
Land as soon as practicable: Land at the nearest aviation location or, if
there is none reasonably close, at a safe
landing site selected for subsequent con-
venience.

CREW ALERTING SYSTEM (CAS)


The CAS is a dedicated window on the Primary Flight Display (PFD). Many of
the emergencies described in this section are indicated by the illumination of
red CAS warnings with the red Master Warning Light (MWL), while the mal-
functions are indicated by an amber CAS cautions with the amber Master
Caution Light (MCL).
The red warnings are accompanied by a voice warning and in some cases an
audio tone and can be acknowledged by pressing the MWL or the CAS RST
button on the collective grip.
The amber Master Caution Light can be acknowledged by pressing the MCL
or the CAS RST button on the collective grip.
Green advisory and white status messages are also presented on the CAS
system but the display of the messages uses the following prioritization:
Priority 1: Warnings (red)
Priority 2: Cautions (amber)
Priority 3: Advisories (green)
Priority 4: Status messages (white)

USING THE CAS WARNING AND CAUTION SYSTEM


Whenever a warning or caution illuminates, appropriate actions should be
taken to deal with the indicated emergency or malfunction. The MWL and/or
the MCL must be cancelled when convenient, to reset the light for possible
future warnings or cautions.
In this section, the following convention is used:

A WARNING —A CAS RED WARNING

A CAUTION —A CAS AMBER CAUTION

EASA Approved FOR TRAINING ONLY Issue 1 Page 3-5


Section 3 AW189 - RFM
Emergency and Document N°
Malfunction Procedures 189G0290X002

MESSAGE FORMAT
Similar Caution/Warning messages seen on the CAS are combined within a
single message. For example “1-2” is embedded in the same line of message
without the need to have two separate messages as shown below:
represents the combined CAS caution displayed
1-2 PITOT HEAT OFF when 1 PITOT HEAT OFF and 2 PITOT HEAT OFF
cautions are present consecutively.

For this manual, use of the caption notation 1(2)


1(2) PITOT HEAT OFF PITOT HEAT OFF (for example) is to indicate cap-
tions that can apply to more than one component.
This notation therefore indicates that a failure involv-
1 PITOT HEAT OFF ing No. 1 pitot heat system would be displayed as 1
PITOT HEAT OFF and a failure
involving No. 2 pitot heat system would be displayed
2 PITOT HEAT OFF as 2 PITOT HEAT OFF.

Note
In the event of a ‘1-2 XXXXXX’ caution the ‘1(2) XXXXXX’ page
in this section of the RFM should be consulted and after consid-
eration of the type of failure, the procedures indicated and air-
craft conditions the pilot action must be decided.

GENERAL
The following Emergency Procedures are concerned with forseeable but
unusual situations in which immediate and precise crew actions, as indicated
by the actions in bold and boxed, will substantially reduce the risk to the
helicopter and personnel.

CAS WARNING MESSAGES


An active Warning message is displayed as white text on red background at
the top of the CAS list, until it is acknowledged with the MWL or the CAS RST
button on the collective grip. Then it changes to red text on a black back-
ground and the MWL is disactivated.
Warning messages cannot be scrolled off the CAS display area.
The Warning message remains until the cause of the warning is corrected.
The “Table of CAS Warning Messages” on page 11, gives the Master Warning
captions, the voice warnings and the corresponding failure.

WARNING PRIORITIES LOGIC


The audio tone and voice warning system priorities are as follows:
1. “ROTOR LOW“
2. “ENGINE OUT“
3. “ENGINE FIRE”
4. “APU FIRE”
5. “ROTOR HIGH”
6. “ENGINE IDLE”
7. “WARNING“
8. “AUTOPILOT”
9. “AIRSPEED“
10. “LOW SPEED”
11. “LANDING GEAR“
12. “150 FEET“
13. “ALTITUDE”
14. “DECISION HEIGHT”

ENGINE FAILURE

GENERAL
In the event of partial or complete power failure, establishing a safe flight con-
dition is the prime consideration, until the cause of the failure can be analysed.
Care should be taken in confirming the failed engine prior to commencing
engine shutdown as given in the ENGINE SHUTDOWN IN EMERGENCY
procedure Page 3-27.

ENGINE FAILURE RECOGNITION


The following cues will be available to the crew following a single or multiple
engine failure:

— Noticeable right sideslip (helicopter nose swinging to the left)


— Illumination of the CAS Warning 1(2) ENG OUT caption.

— An audible tone and an ”ENGINE 1(2) OUT” voice warning.

— The failed engine PI/TQ will split significantly from the operational engine.

— Dependent on collective position at the time of the failure, a drop in rotor


speed (NR) may occur.

SINGLE ENGINE FAILURE


A single engine failure will result in an increase in PI/TQ on the live engine.
Depending on collective position and airspeed at the time of the failure, a drop
in rotor speed (NR) may occur requiring a collective adjustment in order to
maintain rotor speed within the Power On range.
If the execution of the ENGINE FAILURE procedure has resulted in shutting
down the engine, consider analyzing the cause of the failure with a view
toward re-starting the engine. Refer to Single Engine Procedure on page 3-97.

OEI MCP LIM Function


During single engine flight the OEI LIM SEL pushbutton, on the collective,
when pressed (green advisory OEI MCP LIM on CAS) will assist the pilot to
not exceed the engine/transmission continous OEI rating (135%) unless the
Rotor Droop threshold is encountered first.

SINGLE ENGINE FAILURE IN HOVER (5 TO 10 FT)

1. Collective — Maintain collective setting or


lower collective slightly if
required to establish descent.

2. Touchdown — Increase collective to cushion


landing as touchdown becomes
imminent

3. Landing — After touchdown, centralize


cyclic and simultaneously
reduce collective to minimum.
Apply wheel brakes as required.

SINGLE ENGINE FAILURE ON TAKE OFF CATEGORY B


If gross weight and flight path permit, takeoff and climb out may be continued.
For a rejected take off carry out the following:

1. Collective — Reduce as necessary to main-


tain rotor RPM if altitude permits.

2. Cyclic — Make a partial flare to reduce


ground speed. Limit flare to 15°
when close to the ground.

3. Collective — Apply to cushion touchdown.

4. Landing — After touchdown centralize cyclic


and simultaneously reduce col-
lective to minimum.

more than 500 fpm. Initiate a
deceleration to achieve 40 KIAS
at 50 ft. At 50 ft rotate nose up to
a maximum of 20° to decelerate.

3. Collective — Continue deceleration to running


touchdown or hover. Use collec-
tive to cushion touchdown. Maxi-
mum nose up attitude on

SINGLE ENGINE FAILURE IN HOVER OGE SAFE VERTICAL REJECT


PROCEDURE
A safe vertical reject is assured if the maximum gross weight is at or below
that defined in the WAT Safe Vertical Reject charts Figure 4-19 to Figure 4-
22 for the ambient conditions.
The procedure for the vertical reject is the following:

1. Collective — On engine failure recognition


adjust collective setting to ini-
tiate descent and to achieve a
minimum NR of 100%.

2. Descent — Descend vertically with a mini-


mum NR of 100%.

3. Touchdown — Increase collective to cushion


landing as touchdown becomes
imminent allowing the rotor to
droop to a minimum of 85% NR

4. Landing — After touchdown, centralize


cyclic and simultaneously
reduce collective to minimum.
Apply wheel brakes as required.

SINGLE ENGINE FAILURE IN HOVER OGE FLYAWAY PROCEDURE


The hover flyaway height loss defined in Section 4 Figure 4-23 to Figure 4-25
and Tables Figure 4-26 to Figure 4-33 assume the following flyaway proce-
dure is followed:

1. Collective/Cyclic control — Rotate nose down to an attitude


of -12°. Adjust collective to droop
the NR to a minimum of 90% NR
to accelerate to 20 kts ground-
speed.

2. Acceleration — On achieving 20 kts raise nose


to an attitude of 5° nose up and
accelerate to VFASS (50 KIAS).
Recover NR to 102% using up to
2.5 min power range as
required.

3. At VFASS — When the aircraft has achieved


VFASS (50 KIAS) continue climb
accelerating to Vy.

Note
The height loss indicated on chart Figure 4-23 to Figure 4-33,
for ambient condition and aircraft weight, guarantees that VFASS
(50 KIAS) will be achieved and a subsequent minimum Rate Of
Climb of 150 fpm at Vy is assured.

DOUBLE ENGINE FAILURE


A sequential or simultaneous failure of both engines will require entry into
autorotation.

ENTRY IN AUTOROTATION
Depending on collective and airspeed at the time, a simultaneous engine fail-
ure will result in a large and very rapid drop in rotor speed (NR) requiring a
large and rapid collective adjustment in order to recover and maintain rotor
speed within the Power Off range. It is imperative that these adjustment be
made quickly and decisively.
If the failure occurs at considerable height above ground level (AGL), it is pos-
sible that sufficient time will be available for attempting an engine re-start
(assuming that the cause of the failure can be rapidly analysed). Assuming an
average autorotative sink rate of 3000 ft per minute, a minimum AGL height of
5000 to 6000 ft would be required to provide sufficient time to complete APU
and engine procedures.
If time and conditions permits and no attempt to restart is made, carry out the
ENGINE SHUTDOWN IN EMERGENCY procedure Page 3-27 while the heli-
copter is manoeuvred toward the landing area.
If sufficient additional time is available to make an engine re-start feasible,
use the ENGINE RESTART IN FLIGHT procedure Page 3-99.

AUTOROTATIVE LANDING PROCEDURE ON LAND


The procedure which follows outlines the steps required to execute a success-
ful autorotation landing, time permitting, consult the appropriate Emergency
Procedure for the additional steps required to deal with a specific type failure.

1. Collective — Reduce to enter autorotation.

2. Cyclic — Adjust to obtain autorotation at


between 70 KIAS and 100 KIAS
(Best Glide speed).

3. Collective — Adjust to obtain up to110% NR.

4. APU — Start

5. Landing gear — Extend.

6. Landing site — Select and manoeuvre into wind.

AUTOROTATIVE LANDING PROCEDURE ON WATER


The procedure which follows outlines the fundamental steps required to exe-
cute a successful emergency water landing. Time permitting, consult the
appropriate Emergency procedure for the additional steps required to deal
with the specific type failure that prompted the decision to proceed with the
emergency water landing process.

WARNING
As considerable error can result from estimation of height over
water, the radar altimeter should be used for height cues during
descent.

CAUTION
At high touchdown speeds, the rotorcraft may roll and turn to
the left after touchdown due to gyroscopic effects if the aircraft
is allowed to pitch down rapidly. This will require pilot corrective
action.

1. Collective — Reduce to enter autorotation.

2. Cyclic — Adjust to obtain autorotation


speed between 70 KIAS and 100
KIAS (Best Glide speed).

3. Collective — Adjust to obtain up to110% NR.

4. APU — Start

5. Landing gear — Confirm UP.

CAUTION
If the landing gear cannot be retracted, landing on the water
with minimum forward speed is recommended.

TRANSMISSION SYSTEM FAILURES


The most common transmission system (main, intermediate, tailrotor gearbox)
failures are of three general types:

— Lubrication system failure (oil pump, ducts, nozzles etc)

— Transmission component failure (gears, bearings, etc)

— Accessory component failure (hydraulic pumps, electrical generators,


coolers etc)
The transmissions are monitored with chip detectors, oil pressure and/or oil
temperature indicators as well as CAS Warning and Caution messages to
inform the pilot of the operating condition of the system. It is probable that one
or more of these indications will be present if a mechanical transmission fail-
ure is imminent. However, whether these indications are present or not, crew
sensory perceptions such as:

— abnormal mechanical noise and/or

— heavy vibration levels and/or

— the odour of hot metal fumes


all play an important part in diagnosis of impending transmission system fail-
ures and assist the pilot in determining what actions are required.
In general a single failure indication dictates that the helicopter Land as soon
as practicable while a double failure dictates Land as soon as possible. If
multiple failure indication, including abnormal noise and/or vibration are
present LAND IMMEDIATELY

required to operate the controls. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO APPLY
MAXIMUM EFFORT, since a more serious malfunction could
result. A reduction in the available control ranges may result
and, in this situation, the low speed flight envelope may be
restricted.

If the airspeed is more than 25 KIAS, the aircraft should be landed into the
wind as soon as possible using a running landing procedure and a touchdown
speed of 25 KIAS.
If the airspeed is less than 25 KIAS, carry out a running landing at the speed
at which the binding occurs. If the aircraft is in a hover, land vertically.

TAIL ROTOR DRIVE FAILURE


A tail rotor drive failure will result in a rapid yaw to the right and a loss of yaw
control, possibly accompanied by noise or vibration in the tail section. The
severity of the initial yaw rate will be determined by the airspeed, altitude,
gross weight, center of gravity and torque settings at the time that the failure
occurs. The effectiveness of the vertical fin in limiting the yaw rate and yaw
angle will depend on the airspeed at the time of the failure, fin effectiveness
increasing at higher airspeeds.
The following cues will be present:

— Aircraft yaws rapidly to the right

— Loss of yaw control, pedals free but ineffective

Page 3-50 Issue 1 FOR TRAINING ONLY EASA Approved


AW189 - RFM Section 3
Document N° Emergency and
189G0290X002 Malfunction Procedures

— Possible noise and vibration from the aft fuselage area


Severe yaw rates will result in large yaw angles within a very short period of
time and, depending on the flight conditions at the time of failure, it is possible
that yaw angles in excess of 30° will be experienced.
Additionally, very high yaw rates will produce aircraft pitching and rolling mak-
ing retention of control difficult without the use of large cyclic inputs, which are
structurally undesirable. Finally, very high yaw rates will produce disorienting
effects on the pilots. Therefore, it is vital that corrective action, as outlined in
the following procedures, be taken quickly to prevent post-failure yaw rates
from reaching unacceptably high levels.
Failure Cues:

In Hover

— Lower collective to LAND IMMEDIATELY while maintaining attitude


and minimizing lateral translation with the cyclic control.

— Select ENG MODE switches to OFF if time available.

In Forward Flight

— Lower collective immediately to minimize yaw right

— Establish an airspeed/power/roll angle sufficient to reach a suitable


landing site.

— At landing site assess running landing capability.

— If a running landing cannot be carried out with a suitable power and


speed, shutdown engines.

— Carry Out Engine Off Landing

Note
- Land into wind

- Raising or Lowering the collective while maintaining NR within


limits may be effective in helping control sideslip. (Increasing
collective, nose left)

TAIL ROTOR CONTROL SYSTEM FAILURE


In the event of mechanical failure between tail rotor pedals and tail rotor servo
or failure between the tail rotor servo output and the tail rotor, natural aerody-
namic forces will cause the tail rotor blades to “float” to a pitch angle of
approximately zero thrust, depending on the flight condition at time of failure.

Failure Cues:

— Aircraft Yaws Left or Right

— Loss of Yaw Control, pedals free but ineffective or free and partially effec-
tive

In Low Hover

— Lower collective to LAND IMMEDIATELY while maintaining attitude


and minimizing lateral translation with the cyclic control.
If rapid yaw right develops

— Retard ENG MODE switches to OFF (or IDLE’s) if time available.

In Forward Flight / High Hover

— Attempt to determine a combination of speed and power to minimize


the yaw

— Carry out the following to diagnose the failure:

• Gently and progressively apply left pedal to assess whether the aircraft
responds in that direction. Pedal needs to be pushed until a positive
response is obtained (it may be necessary to reach full displacement if no
response is obtained).
If aircraft does not respond to the left, consideration should be given before
assessing controllability to the right as this may worsen the situation. Gently
and progressively apply right pedal to assess whether the aircraft responds in
that direction. Pedal needs to be pushed until a positive response is obtained
(it may be necessary to reach full displacement if no response is obtained)

TAIL ROTOR CONTROL BINDING


A tail rotor pitch control system binding may be due to a binding in the control
linkage to the tail rotor.
Tail rotor pitch control binding is characterized either by a lack of directional
response, when a pedal is pushed, or by a locked pedal. If pedals cannot be
moved with a moderate amount of force, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO APPLY
MAXIMUM EFFORT, since a more serious malfunction could result. The
resultant fixed tail rotor pitch will require the selection of a combination of
power, airspeed and sideslip in order to maintain controlled, fixed heading
flight.

Failure Cues:

— Pedals seized or require excessive force

— Aircraft yaws Left or Right in response to collective changes.

In Low Hover

— Lower collective to LAND IMMEDIATELY while maintaining attitude


and minimizing lateral translation with the cyclic control.

Note
- Do not shut down engines unless a severe right yaw occurs. If
tail rotor control binds while hovering, landing can be accom-
plished with greater safety under controlled, powered flight
rather than by shutting down engines and entering autorota-
tion.

CAUTION SYSTEM

GENERAL
The following Malfunction Procedures address forseeable situations, usually
involving a failure condition in which use of the normal or alternate systems by
crew actions (indicated by a dash ‘-’ infront of the action) will maintain an
acceptable level of helicopter operation.
Many of the malfunctions described in this section are indicated by the illumi-
nation of the amber caution captions on the CAS window and the flashing
amber Master Caution Light (MCL). When active the caution is displayed as
black text on an amber background. The caution can be acknowledged by
pressing the MCL or CAS RST button on the collective grip. It then changes to
amber text on a black background and the MCL is deactivated.
The Caution message remains until the cause of the warning is corrected.

CAUTIONS WITH VOICE MESSAGES

— ‘LANDING GEAR’ voice message, associated with LANDING GEAR


amber caution, is active when the radio altimeter height is less than 150 ft
and undercarriage is retracted.

— ‘AUTOPILOT’ voice message, associated with any AP amber caution.

ENGINE MALFUNCTIONS

COMPRESSOR STALL
A compressor stall is normally recognized by an abnormal increase of ITT (or
abnormal increase in PI indication with ITT as limiting parameter) and may be
accompanied by an audible bang or pop and fluctuating NG and TQ (moni-
tored on MFD PWR PLANT page). The compressor stall may be transient or
steady.
The degree of compressor stall may be indicated by one or all of the following:

— A rapid increase in PI with ITT as limiting parameter.


— Fluctuating NG speed coupled with failure to respond to power demand.

— Loud banging or popping noises.


— A reduction in torque.
If compressor stall occurs, carry out Compressor Stall Procedure on following
page:

UNUSUAL ENGINE NOISE


Compressor damage as a result of FOD may increase the engine noise level
and is detectable by a high-pitched whining sound. The noise level of the high
pitched whine should vary with NG (monitored on MFD PWR PLANT page)
and should be significantly higher than the usual engine noise.
If an unusual noise is detected and FOD damage suspected:
1. Switch ENG MODE to IDLE sequentially to determine the affected engine
2. Shutdown as soon as practicable to avoid possible secondary

ECDU CIRCUIT BREAKER RESET PROCEDURE


The tripping (TRIP) of an ECDU managed Circuit Breaker (CB) or a failure to
recognise the CB status (FAIL) will be indicated by a ‘NEW ALERT PENDING’
for a single failure or ‘# ALERT PENDING’ for multiple failure message on the
ECDU Scratch pad.
To reset a tripped CB carry out the following procedure:
1. Press the ALRT button on the ECDU keypad to display the ALERT page.
2. Press button on the RH side of the relevant tripped CB.
3. Confirm the CB goes to OUT status.
4. Press button on the RH side of the relevant OUT CB.
5. Confirm the CB is removed from the page.
6. If the CB is not removed from the ALERT page then repeat step 3 to 5
again, if required.
7. If CB is not removed from the ALERT page then confirm that the CB goes
to FAIL status. Further action for this CB is not possible.

Note
CB’s can be reset a maximum of 2 times.

Note
A failed (FAIL) CB status, whether illuminated after a reset pro-
cedure or if causing the original ALERT message, cannot be
reset.

AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM (AFCS)

GENERAL
If an AFCS problem is obvious from CAS cautions, failure indications or air-
craft response, the AFCS panel should be used to deselect the faulty channel,
and the individual behaviour of AP 1 and AP 2 observed.
Illumination of the relevant Autopilot AP channel lights and the display of CAS
captions should be used to make a positive diagnosis before, for example, dis-
engaging an AFCS channel.
In the event of an un-commanded aircraft disturbance or oscillation, occurring
without an AFCS caution, the pilot should disengage the AP system using the
AP OFF pushbutton on the cyclic and selectively engage and disengage indi-
vidual channel in order to determine and isolate a potential un-annunciated
AFCS fault. This can be achieved through use of the Autopilot AP channel
pushbuttons and monitoring of the trim display (Select SYSTEM, FLIGHT
CTRL on MFD to display the AFCS synoptic page) and aircraft response.
A transition from an AEO conditions to OEI condition will automatically cause
a disengagement on any AFCS collective mode.

CYCLIC FORCE TRIM FAIL OR OFF


Cyclic force trim switched OFF (e.g. via P/R PTR DECLUTCHED selection on
ECDU AFCS page with P/R TRIM OFF advisory or due to longitudinal/lateral
Trim clutch loss) is indicated by the cyclic being free to move in longitudinal
and/or lateral axis with loss of cyclic trim release (FTR switch) and cyclic beep
trim functions. The ATT OFF caution and SAS mode annunciation on PFD
may also be displayed.
The cyclic must be used hands-on to prevent it moving from its selected posi-
tion.

CYCLIC FORCE TRIM RELEASE FAILURE


Cyclic force trim release failure (e.g. due to loss/fail of longitudinal/lateral trim
clutch power supply) is indicated by the cyclic being maintained in a given
position without any effect of cyclic trim release (FTR switch), or for P/R PTR
DECLUTCHED (selection on ECDU AFCS page).
This will require the pilot to fly the aircraft manoeuvring the cyclic control
against the force feel spring, or use the cyclic beep trim to modify trim position.

COLLECTIVE FORCE TRIM FAIL OR OFF


Collective force trim switched OFF (e.g. via C/Y PTR DECLUTCHED selection
on ECDU AFCS page with C/Y TRIM OFF advisory or due to collective trim
clutch loss) is indicated by the Collective being free to move with loss of col-
lective trim release (FTR switch) and collective longitudinal beep trim func-
tions.
The collective must be used hands-on; collective manual friction may be
adjusted as required.

COLLECTIVE FORCE TRIM RELEASE FAILURE


Collective force trim release failure (e.g. due to loss/fail of collective trim clutch
power supply) is indicated by the collective being maintained in a given posi-
tion without any effect of collective trim release (FTR switch), or for C/Y PTR
DECLUTCHED (selection on ECDU AFCS page).
This will require the pilot to fly the aircraft manoeuvring the collective against
the force feel spring, or use the collective longitudinal beep trim to modify the
trim position (only with collective upper mode engaged).

PEDALS FORCE TRIM FAIL OR OFF


Pedals force trim OFF (e.g. via C/Y PTR DECLUTCHED on ECDU AFCS
page with C/Y TRIM OFF advisory or due to pedals trim clutch loss) indicated
by the pedals being free to move with loss of pedal trim release (FTR
switches) and collective lateral beep trim functions (at low speed).
Pedals must be used feet-on to control the yaw axis.

PEDALS FORCE TRIM RELEASE FAILURE


Pedals force trim release failure (e.g. due to loss/fail of pedals trim clutch
power supply) is indicated by the Pedals being maintained in a given position
without any effect of pedals trim release (FTR switch), or C/Y PTR
DECLUTCHED(selection on ECDU AFCS page).
This will require the pilot to fly the aircraft manoeuvring pedals against force
feel spring, or use the collective lateral beep trim to modify trim position (at low
speed only).

AFCS COMBINED FAILURES


A combination of AFCS failures, that are not directly related, could cause the
loss of an AFCS axis. For example a 1 AP PITCH FAIL (loss of N°1 series
actuator) and a subsequent AP 2 FAIL would cause a complete loss of the
AFCS pitch axis which would require the aircraft to be flown manually.
For any combination of AFCS failures the pilot should fly manually until the
functionality of the AFCS system has been assessed.

SECTION 4
PERFORMANCE DATA

INTRODUCTION
The performance information presented in this section is based on flight test
results and engineering analysis of engine manufacturers specification power
for the engine, less installation losses. The data is applicable to the basic heli-
copter without any optional equipment which would appreciably affect lift, drag
or power available. The performance shown is based on (1) adherence to the
operational limitations shown in Section 1 of this manual, (2) the use of the
procedures described in Sections 2 and 3 of this manual and (3) periodic
engine power checks to assure minimum specification engine power output.
The performance at a weight lower than the lowest weight shown on any par-
ticular graph should be assumed to be no better than that at the lowest weight
shown. Performance extrapolation beyond the ranges shown in the graphs is
not permitted.

USING THE GRAPHS


The performance information is presented graphically and in the sequence in
which it would ordinarily be used. The introduction to each performance item
contains an example of graph usage. Additionally, each graph contains a pic-
togram showing the correct sequence of steps in graph usage. As aircraft per-
formance can be substantially affected by many factors (weight, altitude,
temperature, power levels, etc.), careful attention should be paid to the
explanatory text accompanying each graph to assure that the correct set of
factors are being used.

DENSITY ALTITUDE CHART


Enter the graph at the desired value of Outside Air Temperature (OAT), on the
horizontal axis. Proceed vertically until intercepting the desired value of Pres-
sure Altitude. Proceed left to read the resulting Density Altitude (in feet). Pro-
ceed right to read the corresponding value of the reciprocal of the square root
of the density ratio, which is used to calculate True Airspeed.

Example:

At a Pressure Altitude of 6000 ft and an OAT of +15° C, determine the


corresponding Density Altitude.

Solution:

Enter Figure 4-1 at an OAT of +15° C. and proceed vertically until inter-
secting a Pressure Altitude of 6000 ft (sloping curves). From this point,
proceed left to read a Density Altitude of 7400 ft.

AIRSPEED CALIBRATION
Calibration curves are presented for the pilot’s, co-pilot’s PFD and standby air-
speed indicators. Calibrated airspeed must be used in order to calculate cor-
rect values of the True Airspeed.
The size of the error depends on the value of the Indicated Airspeed. Enter the
graph, for the appropriate airspeed indicator, with the desired value of Indi-
cated Airspeed, and proceed vertically until intercepting the desired flight
regime. Proceed to the left to read the corresponding value of Calibrated Air-
speed. Use this value to calculate the corresponding True Airspeed, as
required.

Example:

On the Pilot’s PFD indicator, for the climb condition, determine the Cali-
brated Airspeed corresponding to an Indicated Airspeed of 100 kts.

Solution:

Use Figure 4-4. Enter the graph at an Indicated Airspeed of 100 kts and
proceed vertically until intersecting the climb curve. Proceed left and read
the corresponding Calibrated Airspeed of 100 kts.

ALTIMETER CORRECTION
The Indicated Altitude shown on the cockpit instruments is within ±30 ft (9 m)
altitude error throughout the speed range of the helicopter.

ENGINE POWER CHECKS


The purpose of the Engine Power Assurance Check is to provide a means of
monitoring engine health on an on-going basis. A HOVER power assurance
check procedure is provided to the operator. The procedure should be used to
check if the engine power available before Take-Off is within the limits estab-
lished for the legitimate use of the Rotorcraft Flight Manual performance.

POWER MARGIN TREND MONITORING


Record engine power assurance check values for engine power margin trend
monitoring purposes at flight hour intervals as defined in Section 1 Limitations.

HOVER POWER CHECK PROCEDURE


The following procedure is used to check engine performance before flight:

CAUTION
Observe all engine and transmission limits and aircraft operat-
ing limits during this check.

1. Position the aircraft into the prevailing wind to minimize hot gas inges-
tion.

2. Record date, aircraft serial number, aircraft hours, engine serial number
and engine hours.

3. Confirm that the HEATER switch is set to OFF and ENG 1 & 2 SOV
switches are NORMAL.

4. Set the barometric pressure to 1013 mb or 29.92 inches.

5. Confirm both the ENG MODE switches at FLT.

6. Apply collective to obtain Hover IGE at 7 ft.

EASA Approved FOR TRAINING ONLY Issue 1 Page 4-9


Section 4 AW189 - RFM
Performance Data Document N°
189G0290X002

7. Maintain a fixed collective for one minute, then record the following data
from the Primary and Multi Function Display:
— Pressure Altitude
— OAT
— TQ
— ITT

8. On the appropriate figure plot readings for each engine as follows:

i) Enter the graph PAC Chart Part 1 Figure 4-5, with the recorded
torque value. Move horizontally to intercept the recorded altitude line
(interpolate between the curves, as necessary). Then drop vertically
to read the Corrected Torque value.

j) Select the PAC Chart Part 2 for the appropriate recorded pressure
altitude (Figure 4-6 to Figure 4-9 ). On the lower axis enter with the
Corrected Torque value found in a) and move vertically upward to
intercept the recorded OAT (interpolated between the curves, as nec-
essary). Then move horizontally left to read the ITT Max Tempera-
ture.

k) Compare the maximum allowable ITT values to the recorded ITT


value.

l) If the recorded ITT is less than the maximum allowable ITT, engine
condition is acceptable for flight.

m) The difference between maximum allowable ITT and recorded ITT is


called the Power Assurance Margin (PAM).

n) If the recorded ITT value is greater than the maximum allowable ITT
the performance in this RFM may not be achieved. Refer to EMM for
required actions.

Note
The PWR CHECK function on the MFD SYSTEM Engine Syn-
optic page is not reliable and should be disregarded.

Example:

A Hover IGE Engine Power Check procedure gave the following


recorded results:
— TQ = 97%
— Pressure Altitude = 570 ft
— OAT = 23 °C
— ITT = 786 °C

Solution:

Entering the Chart Part 1 Figure 4-5, on the left axis at 97%
aircraft torque, move horizontally right to intercept the Pressure Altitude
curve for 570 ft (interpolated between the 0 ft and the 1000 ft Hp lines).
Move vertically down to the Corrected Torque axis and read 94%.

Entering the -1000 ft Hp to 1000 ft Hp Chart Part 2 Figure 4-6 on the


Corrected Torque scale at 94% move vertically upwards to intercept the
23°C OAT line (interpolated between the 20°C and 25°C lines). Move left
horizontally to read the ITT MAX value of 835°C.

The recorded ITT value of 786°C is less than the maximum allowable
(835°C) so the engine is acceptable for flight.

The Power Assurance Margin (PAM) is calculated as:


835-786= 49°C.

HEIGHT VELOCITY ENVELOPE

GENERAL
The traditional Height Velocity envelope has been replaced with the option of
a Safe Vertical Reject (up to 200 ft ALS) procedure and a Flyway procedure.
Each procedure has its specific WAT curve which permits the appropriate pro-
cedure to be carried out safely.
The decision of which technique to utilize, following an engine failure, will
depend on the environment around the aircraft such as landing site character-
istics, size, pilots view, hover height and obstacles within the escape exit.
The flyaway technique is recommended when the surrounding environment
permits, meanwhile the vertical reject should be considered the secondary
escape case when the flyaway procedure is not feasable.

SINGLE ENGINE FAILURE IN HOVER OGE SAFE VERTICAL REJECT


The maximum gross weight which permits a safe vertical reject from a maxi-
mum height of 200 ft ALS is defined by the WAT Safe Vertical Reject charts
and Tables Figure 4-19 & Figure 4-22 .
The Vertical Reject procedure can be found in Section 3. See “Single Engine
Failure in Hover OGE Safe Vertical Reject Procedure” on page 3-21.

Example 1:

Determine the maximum weight that would permit a Safe Vertical Reject
following a single engine failure in hover OGE for the following ambient
conditions:
— Pressure Altitude = 2000 ft
— OAT = +0° C
— Anti Ice OFF
— Heater OFF

Solution:

Using the WAT Safe Vertical Reject Chart Anti Ice OFF, Heater OFF/ON
Figure 4-19 , on the Pressure Altitude axis from 2000 ft move right to
intersect +0° C line. Drop down vertically to the GW axis for a weight of
7800 kg.

Therefore for the conditions in the example the maximum weight for a
safe vertical reject is 7800 kg.

SINGLE ENGINE FAILURE IN HOVER OGE FLYAWAY


The height loss during a single engine failure flyaway for combinations of
weight, altitude, temperature and airspeed indication is shown in the Charts
and Tables Figure 4-23 to Figure 4-33 for weights up to 8300 kg.

Note
For IAS indication below 20 KIAS a value of 0 KIAS must be
used in the charts/tables.
The charts/tables do not include any clearance height. If the hover height is
greater than the height loss indicated by the chart then a flyaway capability
exists and the Flyaway Procedure should be followed. It is the Pilots responsi-
bility to add any appropriate clearance height.
The Flyaway procedure can be found in Section 3. See “Single Engine Failure
in Hover OGE Flyaway Procedure” on page 3-22.

CAUTION
If the helicopter weight, at the time of engine failure, is less or
equal to the Hover OGE 2.5min OEI weight an engine failure in
the hover will result in no height loss provided that the pilot does
not intervene on the flight controls. VY must be achieved within
2.5 minutes.
In this case a vertical landing may also be accomplished within
2.5 minutes.

Note
The height loss indicated on charts, for ambient condition and
aircraft weight, guarantees that VFASS (50 KIAS) will be
achieved and a subsequent minimum Rate Of Climb of 150 fpm
at Vy is assured.

Example 2:

Determine the drop down height during a flyaway following a single


engine failure in hover OGE, for the following ambient conditions:
— Weight 8200 kg
— Pressure Altitude = 2000 ft
— OAT = +0° C
— IAS = 0 KIAS & 20 KIAS
— Anti Ice OFF
— Heater OFF

Solution:

Using the Chart A Weight Factor Chart for Flyaway Computation Figure
4-23 , on the Pressure Altitude axis from 2000 ft move upwards to inter-
sect the +0° C line. Move right the 8200kg line (interpolated between the
7900 and 8300 lines) and from this point drop down vertically to the
Transfer Value of 8.05.

Using the Chart B Flyaway Height Loss for Anti Ice OFF, Heater OFF/
ON, Figure 4-24 , on the Pressure Altitude axis for 2000 ft move up to
intersect the 0 °C OAT line. From this point move right to intersect the air-
speed axis at 0 KIAS (Due to the unreliability of the airspeed system for
airspeeds below 20 KIAS the 0 KIAS line must be used). For the zero air-
speed condition continue horizontally right to intercept the Transfer Value
line previously calculated of 8.05 (interpolated between the 8.0 and 8.2
lines) and drop down vertically to the Height Loss axis to obtain 153 ft.
For the 20 KIAS airspeed condition from the 0 KIAS point move up and
right following parallel to the lines to intersect the 20 KIAS line. From this
point move horizontally right to intercept the Transfer Value line previ-
ously calculated of 8.05 (interpolated between the 8.0 and 8.2 lines).
From this point drop down vertically to the Height Loss axis to obtain
87 ft.

Therefore for the conditions in the example the drop down height after an
engine failure in Hover would be for 0 kts airspeed 153 ft and for a 20
KIAS airpeed 87 ft. So assuming a clearance height of 15 ft is required
the lowest safe hover height would be 168 ft ALS for 0 KIAS airpeed and
102 ft ALS for 20 KIAS airspeed.

Example 1A:

Determine the maximum weight that would permit a Safe Vertical Reject
following a single engine failure in hover OGE for the following ambient
conditions:
— Pressure Altitude = 2000 ft
— OAT = +0° C
— Anti Ice OFF
— Heater OFF

Solution Using Tabulated Values:

Using the WAT Table for Safe Vertical Reject Chart Anti Ice OFF, Heater
OFF/ON Figure 4-20 , on the Pressure Altitude line for 2000 ft move right
to intersect +0° C column and a value of 7773 kg.

Therefore for the conditions in the example the maximum weight for a
safe vertical reject is 7770 kg.

Note
It is not unusual to have slightly different values between the
values given by the table and calculated from the charts. This is
due to rounding errors and graphical reproduction. If any differ-
ence is found the most conservative value should be used.

Example 2A:

Determine the drop down height during a flyaway following a single


engine failure in hover OGE, for the following ambient conditions:
— Weight 8200 kg
— Pressure Altitude = 2000 ft
— OAT = +0° C
— IAS = 0 KIAS & 20 KIAS
— Anti Ice OFF
— Heater OFF

Solution using Tabulated Values:

Using the Height Loss During Flyaway Table 7900 kg and 8300 kg, Anti
Ice OFF, Heater OFF/ON, Figure 4-29 page an interpolation between the
7900 kg values and the 8300 kg values will be required to obtain the cor-
rect values at the specified weight of 8200 kg.
On the 7900 kg table using the Pressure Altitude line of 2000 ft move
right to intersect the 0°C OAT column for a height loss of 121 ft.
Using the speed correction on the right for 20 KIAS read a value of -48 ft.
The flyaway height loss for 20 KIAS is therefore 121 ft-48 ft = 73 ft.

On the 8300 kg table using the Pressure Altitude line of 2000 ft move
right to intersect the 0°C OAT column for a height loss of 171 ft.
Using the speed correction on the right for 20 KIAS read a value of -77 ft.
The flyaway height loss for 20 KIAS is therefore 171 ft-77 ft = 94 ft.

For the 0 KIAS condition interpolating between 7900 kg with height loss
of 121 ft and 8300 kg with height loss of 171 ft the calculated height loss
for 8200 kg of 159 ft is obtained.

For the 20 KIAS condition interpolating between 7900 kg with height loss
of 73 ft and 8300 kg with height loss of 94 ft the calculated heigt loss for
8200 kg of 89 ft is obtained.

Therefore for the conditions in the example the drop down height after an
engine failure in Hover would be for 0 kts airspeed 159 ft and for a 20
KIAS airpeed 89 ft.
So assuming a clearance height of 15 ft is required the lowest safe hover
height would be 174 ft ALS for 0 KIAS airpeed and 104 ft ALS for
20 KIAS airspeed.

Note
It is not unusual to have slightly different values between the
values given by the table and that calculated from the charts.
This is due to rounding errors and graphical reproduction. If any
difference is found the most conservative value should be used.

HOVER CEILING
The Hover Ceiling charts define the maximum weights at which an IGE hover
(at 7 ft (2.1 m) wheel height) or an OGE hover is possible for varying combina-
tions of Pressure Altitude, and OAT with main rotor speed at 102%. The charts
presented are for:

a) IGE with zero wind conditions.

b) IGE with wind controllability can be found in Section 1


Limitations.

c) OGE with Unfactored Headwind Benefit.


The Unfactored Headwind Benefit charts displays the full perfor-
mance increase resulting from the actual headwind component.

d) OGE with wind controllability can be found in Section 4


Low Speed Manouvres..

Note
Unless otherwise authorized by operating regulations, the pilot
is not authorized to credit more than 50 percent of the perfor-
mance increase resulting from the actual headwind component.
The charts for All Engines Operating AEO conditions are presented Take Off
Power (TOP) and Maximum Continuous Power (MCP) with Engine Anti Ice
OFF and ON and HEATER OFF and ON.
The charts for One Engine Inoperative (OEI) are presented for OEI 2.5 minute
power and OEI Maximum Continuous Power (OEI MCP) with Engine Anti Ice
OFF and ON and HEATER OFF and ON.

TAKE-OFF AND LANDING CATEGORY B


The charts are presented for Hover IGE Take Off and Rolling Take Off and
Landing Performance.
The Weight-Altitude-Temperature graphs determine the maximum weight
allowable for each combination of altitude/temperature for Take Off and Land-
ing.
The Take Off distance chart (valid for the HIGE and Rolling Take Off WAT
charts) indicates the distance required for each combination of weight-altitude-
temperature to Take Off AEO and reach 50 KIAS at 50 ft (15 m) above the
Take Off surface using the procedure in Section 2.
The Landing distance chart (valid for the two CAT B WAT charts) indicates the
distance required for each combination of weight-altitude-temperature to land
OEI from 50 ft (15 m) at 40 KIAS when using the procedure for landing in Sec-
tion 2. The Landing distance is indicated in two parts, the distance required
from 50 ft (15 m) to touchdown and the braking distance after touchdown. The
total distance for landing is the summation of the two distances.

Note
Care should be taken, when using and interpolating between
the OAT curves, that the correct curves are being used.

Example 1:

The Take Off distance required for the following weight and ambient con-
ditions:
— Aircraft Weight = 8000 kg
— Pressure Altitude = 5000 ft
— OAT = +22° C
— Engine Anti Ice OFF
— Heater OFF
— Zero Crosswind

Solution:

Using the WAT CAT B HIGE Take Off/Landing chart Figure 1-7 we see
that the aircraft weight and ambient conditions are within the allowable
weight for CAT B. Using chart Figure 4-58 on the Pressure Altitude axis

EASA Approved FOR TRAINING ONLY Issue 1 Page 4-81


Rev. 2
Section 4 AW189 - RFM
Performance Data Document N°
189G0290X002

from 5000 ft move up to intersect the +22°C line (interpolated between


20°C and 30°C lines) move right to intercept the Gross Weight line of
8000 kg (interpolated between 7900 kg and 8100 kg lines) and drop ver-
tically to the distance of 145 m.

Therefore, from Take Off (HIGE or Rolling) to 50ft AGL a distance of


145 m is required.

Example 2:

The Landing distance required for the following weight and ambient con-
ditions:
— Aircraft Weight = 7900 kg
— Pressure Altitude = 4000 ft
— OAT = +30 °C
— Engine Anti Ice OFF, Heater OFF

Solution:

Using chart Figure 1-7 we see that the aircraft weight and ambient condi-
tions are inside the CAT B WAT curve so a CAT B landing is available.
Using the CAT B OEI/AEO Landing Distance chart Figure 4-62 on the
Pressure Altitude axis from 4000 ft move up to intersect the +30 °C line
(brown line 30 °C), then move right to intercept the 7900 kg Gross Weight
line. From this point drop vertically to the Distance to Touch down of
235 m. Using the Braking Distance chart Figure 4-63 on the Pressure
Altitude axis from 4000 ft move up to intersect the +30°C line (black line
30 °C), then move right to intercept the 7900 kg Gross Weight line. From
this point drop vertically to the Braking Distance of 203 m.

Summing the two values give a total landing distance from 50 ft to Stop of
438 m.

Example 3:

The Take Off distance required for the following weight and ambient con-
ditions:
— Aircraft Weight = 8100 kg
— Pressure Altitude = 2000 ft
— OAT = +20° C
— Engine Anti Ice OFF
— Heater OFF
— Zero Crosswind

Solution:

Using the WAT CAT B HIGE Take Off/Landing chart Figure 1-7 we see
that the aircraft weight and ambient conditions are within the allowable
weight for CAT B. Using chart Figure 4-58 on the Pressure Altitude axis
for 2000 ft we can see that the +20°C would be intersected below the x
axis. Therefore, we need to just move right along the x axis to intercept
the y axis of the distance graph at the minumum distance of 100 m (330
ft).

Therefore, from Take Off (HIGE or Rolling) to 50ft AGL a distance of


100 m is required.

This distance is also applicable for any aircraft weight with the ambient
conditions specified.

RATE OF CLIMB
The climb performance shown is based on flight test results and covers a
range of gross weights from 5500 kg to the Maximum Gross Weight of 8300
kg. Rate of Climb performance is given for All Engines Operating (AEO) condi-
tions and for One Engine Inoperative (OEI) conditions with the datum speed
for all rate of climb graphs at 80 KIAS.
The AEO conditions consider rate of climb available with the engines operat-
ing at the 5 minute Power Rating limit and at the 30 minute Power Rating limit
with Anti Icing OFF and ON.
The OEI conditions consider rate of climb available with the engines operating
at the 2.5 min rating limit and Maximum Continuous Power (MCP) Rating lim-
its with the Anti Ice OFF and ON.

Note
Care should be taken, when using and interpolating between
the OAT curves, that the correct curves are being used.

PERFORMANCE CORRECTION AFTER KIT INSTALLATION


When Optional Supplement kits are fitted that effect the external profile or
reduce the engine power available the aircraft performance is effected. This
effect takes the form of a reduction in climb rate for CAT A and CAT B opera-
tion and may require a weight reduction.
The effect on CAT A performance can be found in Supplement 4 Category A
Operations.

CAT B OPERATIONS
The Table in Figure 5-1 shows the Drag Factor which is used with the AEO
and OEI ROC Reduction for Installed Kit charts (Figure 5-2 and Figure 5-3) to
obtain the reduction that must be applied to the Rate of Climb (ROC) charts for
the aircraft weight. The ROC charts are found in the Basic RFM Section 4 Per-
formance Data, or appropriate Supplement, and the ROC reduction figures
calculated are applied to correct the ROC values when kit are installed.
Figure 5-1 also includes the maximum Rate of Climb Reduction value applica-
ble for each kit which can be used as a quick check to see if the Rate of Climb
could reduce to below the minimum required of 150 ft/min for CAT B operation
with Maximum Continuous power. The value is conservative and can be used
instead of calculating the ROC Reduction from the charts.
If the minimum ROC found is determined to be less than 150 ft/min then
Figure 5-4 Kit Effect for CAT B Procedures chart may be used to calculate the
reduction in weight necessary to recover the minimum ROC to 150 ft/min.
If more than one kit is installed the Drag Factor for the kits installed must be
added together to give the Drag Factor for the combination installed.
Optional kits not listed in the table do not have an effect on climb performance.

FLYAWAY FROM HOVER


During the flyaway condition the height loss is not affected by the addition of
kits.To assure the minimum rate of climb of 150 fpm the MCP OEI ROC chart,
for the weight being used, must be checked for the Drag Factor of the kits
installed. The correction, as explained for the CAT B OEI ROC above, must be
applied. If the minimum ROC cannot be achieved then a weight reduction will
be required for the flyaway.

EXAMPLE 1:
Determine the Rate of Climb All Engine Operative (AEO) at the 30 min rating
and OEI MCP rating with the helicopter at a weight of 7500 kg and flying at
3000 ft Hp with 10°C OAT, A/ICE OFF and Heater ON.
The Double Hoist Supplement 16 and FLIR Supplement 18 are installed.

Solution:
Using the table in Figure 5-1 the combined Drag Factor from the Double Hoist
and FLIR installations is:
0.30 + 0.25 = 0.55 Drag Factor
Also the maximum ROC reduction from the table will be:
for AEO conditions -40 + -35 = -75 ft/min
for OEI conditions -45 + -40 = -85 ft/min
If a more accurate value of the ROC reduction is required we can enter Figure
5-2 AEO ROC Reduction on the Drag Factor axis with a value of 0.55, move
up vertically to intercept the 7500kg line then move horizontally left to the ROC
Reduction axis for a value of -60 ft/min.
The same procedure can be carried out for Figure 5-3 OEI ROC Reduction to
obtain a value of -60 ft/min.
The clean aircraft ROC charts in the Basic RFM for 7500 kg A/ICE OFF and
Heater ON are used to define the basic aircraft ROC as follows:
AEO 5 min Figure 4-103 ROC 2340 ft/min
MCP OEI Figure 4-127 ROC 460 ft/min
Correcting these values for the kits installed we get:
AEO 5 min 2340 - 60 = 2280 ft/min at 7500 kg
MCP OEI 460 - 60 = 400 ft/min at 7500 kg
As the OEI ROC value is not below the minimum required of 150 ftmin for CAT
B operation no weight reduction is required for these conditions.

EXAMPLE 2:
Determine the Rate of Climb All Engine Operative OEI at the MCP rating with
the helicopter at gross weight of 8600 kg and flying at 3000 ft Hp with
-30°C OAT, A/ICE ON and Heater ON.
The Double Hoist Supplement 16, FLIR Supplement 18 and Trakka Search-
light Supplement 19 are installed.

Solution:
Using the table in Figure 5-1 the combined Drag Factor from the Double Hoist
FLIR and Searchlight installations is:
0.30 + 0.25 + 0.15= 0.7 Drag Factor
Also the maximum ROC reduction from the table for OEI conditions is:
-45 + -40 + -30 = -115 ft/min
If a more accurate value of the ROC reduction is required we can enter Figure
5-3 OEI ROC Reduction on the Drag Factor axis with a value of 0.7, move up
vertically to intercept the 8600 kg line then move horizontally left to the ROC
Reduction axis for a value of -65 ft/min.
The clean aircraft ROC charts for 8600 kg are found in Supplement 21 Weight
Extension 8600 kg. The OEI MCP chart for A/ICE ON and Heater ON,
Figure S21-86 is used to obtain a ROC of 190 ft/min.
Correcting this value for the kits installed:
190 - 65 = 125 ft/min
As this is below the minimum ROC of 150 ft/min to respect the CAT B climb
requirements, by 25 ft/min, the aircraft weight must be modified to meet the
ROC minimum.
Using the chart in Figure 5-4 Optional Kit Effect for CAT B we enter the ROC
to Recover the Minimum Performance axis at 25 ft/min move up vertically to
intercept the 8600 kg line then move left horizontally to the Weight Reduction
axis for a value of 140 kg.
Therefore the aircraft GW must be reduced to 8460 kg to recover the minimum
ROC to 150 ft/min.

To confirm a minimum ROC is available interpolation between the ROC at


8600 kg = 190 ft/min (from above) and from the Basic RFM ROC at 8300 kg
Figure 4-123 of 280 ft/min is required.
8600-8300 8460 - 8300
-------------- = ------------------
280-190 280 - X

X = 238 ft/min
Therefore the OEI MCP power ROC for the basic aircraft at 8460 kg and the
ambient conditions of 3000 ft Hp and -30°C is 238 ft/min
Correcting this for the kits installed we have
238 - 65 = 175 ft/min,
The minimum ROC is respected at the lower weight.

Document N° Air Conditioning
189G0290X002 System

GENERAL INFORMATION
Installation of the Air Conditioning System (AIR COND) kit permits automatic
cooling of the air to control the temperature and humidity environment, inde-
pendently for cockpit and cabin.
The kits consists of two vapour cycle cooling systems (VCS) mounted on the
upper deck, one VCS for the cockpit and one for the cabin. The system is con-
nected to the basic aircraft ventilation and heating system ducting. The kit also
contains modifications to the basic ventilation system incorporate evaporator
and fans in the cockpit behind the instrument panel and above the cabin roof.
Both the systems draw external ambient air and cockpit/cabin air which is
mixed and distributed via the cockpit and cabin vents. (Figure S1-1). All the
necessary temperature sensors, fan motor safety systems, cockpit indications
and system operations are controlled by the control box and selection is by the
cockpit control panel mounted in the interseat console (Figure S1-2).
The following operations are available from the cockpit control panel:

FORCED VENTILATION
With the AIR/COND/HEATER rotary switch selected OFF and the VENT
CREW FAN and PAX FAN selected OFF external ambient air enters the cock-
pit and cabin due to the ram air pressure. By selecting the CREW FAN and
PAX FAN to LOW or HIGH air is forced into the respective zone through the
vents.
Operation of the VENT FANs is indicated by a FWD VENT and AFT VENT
advisory message.

HEATING
Selecting the AIR COND/HEATER rotary switch to APU or ENG the heating
system is activated using the bleed air from either the APU or engines. The
hot bleed air is mixed with ambient and recirculated air and enters the cockpit
and cabin ventilation system. The heated air enters uses the ram air pressure
or, if required, the CREW and PAX FAN selections can used to increase the
amount of hot air air entering. The temperature is automatically controlled
when the rotary is in AUTO and the temperature controlled by the position of
the rotary selector from WARM to COLD.
If the rotary switch is selected to the MAN HTR position the heating air supply
temperature is controlled manually by the pilot by ‘beep’ the rotary switch to
the + or - positions which manually opens or closes the temperature control
valve (TCV) to regulate the heating air supply temperature of the hot air enter-
ing the ventilation system.

EASA Approved FOR TRAINING ONLY Issue 1 Page S1-1


Supplement 1 AW189 - RFM
Air Conditioning Document N°
System 189G0290X002

Care should be taken when using the manual setting as the adjustment is very
sensitive. It is recommended that short beeps are used, then the system left to
stabilize the temperature before adjusting again. (Approximately a 3 second
beep to + would fully open the TCV giving maximum temperature and,
depending on conditions, could cause an overheat and automatic shut down).
Selecting the AIR COND/HEATER rotary to APU with the APU bleed valve
(APU SOV) in NORMAL position (default position when panel de-powered)
the APU bleed valve position is controlled automatically. Selecting the APU
SOV switch to CLOSE the valve can be manually closed. The APU SOV only
functions when the aircraft is on the ground, In flight the APU is inhibited and
the APU SOV is automatically closed.
Selecting the AIR COND/HEATER rotary to ENG the ENG 1 SOV and ENG 2
SOV switches selected to NORMAL (default position when panel de-powered)
the engine bleed valves are controlled automatically and, in case of engine
failure, both bleed valves will close automatically. However, if required, the
bleed valve on the non failed engine may be opened manually by selecting
OVERRIDE with an associated reduction in aircraft performance.
Operation of the Heater System is indicated by a HEATER ON advisory mes-
sage.

AIR CONDITIONING KIT


Selecting the AIR COND/HEATER rotary switch to AIR COND selects the air
conditioning systems on. Cold air from the VCS is mixed with ambient and
recirculated air and enters the ventilation system.
The CREW and PAX FAN selections must be set to LOW or HIGH when the
AIR COND is selected (or the associated system will remain OFF) to control
the cooled air entering the cockpit and cabin. The temperature is controlled by
the AUTO rotary switch position. (the MAN HTR position has no effect when in
AIR COND).
Operation of the Air Conditioning System is indicated by a AIR COND ON
advisory message.
Malfunction of the HEATER or AIR COND systems are indicated on the CAS
by caution messages.

Document N° Forced Ventilation
189G0290X002 System

GENERAL INFORMATION
Installation of the Forced Air Ventilation System kit permits the maximum ven-
tilation air to be circulated in the cockpit and cabin. This system, when
installed with the aircraft heating system, is the most basic environmental con-
ditioning system available for the AW189. The forced air ventilation system
uses two fresh air flapper valves to introduce ambient air into the cockpit and
one flapper valve for the cabin.
The cockpit control panel (Figure S2-1) mounted in the interseat console is
NVG compatible and in normal operation remains ‘black’. When any pushbut-
ton is selected manually a green caption in the pushbutton is illuminated. The
following operations are available from the panel:

FORCED VENTILATION
With the HEATER rotary switch selected OFF the forced air ventilation system
is operated by the VENT selection. When CREW FAN and PAX FAN are
selected OFF the fans are inoperative. By selecting the CREW FAN and PAX
FAN to LOW or HIGH the flapper valves open and air is forced into the respec-
tive zone through the vents.
By selecting the PAX FAN to EXT AIR the cabin flapper valve opens but the
fans remain inoperative so the cabin is ventilated by ram air effect only.
The EXT AIR pushbutton, when selected, forces the cockpit flapper valves
open regardless of the HEATER and CREW FAN switch selection. The green
OPEN caption illuminates in the pushbutton.
Operation of the VENT FANs is indicated by a FWD VENT and AFT VENT
advisory message.

HEATING
Selecting the HEATER rotary switch to APU or ENG the heating system is
activated using the bleed air from either the APU or engines. The cockpit flap-
per valves are closed when HEATER is selected to ENG or APU whilst the
cabin flapper valves remains controlled by the PAX FAN switch.
For heating, hot bleed air, controlled by the TCV, and external ambient air,
drawn in from the ambient air inlet on the left side of the aircraft fuselage,
mixed in the jet pump and enters the heating distribution system to be sup-
plied to the cabin and cockpit outlets.

EASA Approved FOR TRAINING ONLY Issue 1 Page S2-1


Supplement 2 AW189 - RFM
Forced Ventilation Document N°
System 189G0290X002

In the cabin the heated air is ducted under the cabin floor and fed to outlets at
floor level in the forward and aft corners of the cabin. (the cabin heating supply
is totally separate from the cabin ventilation supply which provides outside
ambient air only via the cabin roof outlets.
In the cockpit the heated air is ducted under the cabin floor and fed into the
cockpit ventilation distrubution system. The CREW FAN can be selected to
boost the hot air flow for demisting. Selecting the EXT AIR pushbutton will
open the cockpit fapper valve, if required, introducing outside ambient air into
the heating supply.
The temperature in the cockpit and cabin is automatically controlled when the
rotary is in AUTO and the temperature controlled by the position of the rotary
selector from WARM to COLD.
If the rotary switch is selected to the MAN HTR position the heating air supply
temperature is controlled manually by the pilot by ‘beep’ the rotary switch to
the + or - positions which manually opens or closes the temperature control
valve (TCV) to regulate the heating air supply temperature of the hot air enter-
ing the ventilation system.
Care should be taken when using the manual setting as the adjustment is very
sensitive. It is recommended that short beeps are used, then the system left to
stabilize the temperature before adjusting again. (Approximately a 3 second
beep to + would fully open the TCV giving maximum temperature and,
depending on conditions, could cause an overheat and automatic shut down).
Selecting the HEATER rotary to APU with the APU bleed valve (APU SOV)
pushbutton in its unlit position (default selection when panel de-powered), the
APU bleed valve is controlled automatically. Selecting the APU SOV pushbut-
ton the valve can be manually closed and a green CLSD message illuminates
in the pushbutton. The APU SOV only functions when the aircraft is on the
ground. In flight the APU is inhibited and the APU SOV is automatically
closed.
Selecting the HEATER rotary to ENG with the ENG 1 SOV and ENG 2 SOV
pushbutton selected to their unlit position (default selection when panel de-
powered) the engine bleed valves are controlled automatically and, in case of
engine failure, both bleed valves will close automatically. However, if required,
the bleed valve on the non failed engine may be opened manually by selecting
the appropriate ENG SOV pushbutton with an associated reduction in aircraft
performance and an OVRD caption illuminates in the pushbutton.
Operation of the Heater System is indicated by a HEATER ON advisory mes-
sage.

AW189 - RFM Supplement 4
Document N° CAT A Operations
189G0290X002 Introduction

CAT A PERFORMANCE DETERMINATION


The following steps are required to evaluate the correct performance for a
CAT A Take Off and Landing procedure:
1. Basic information required:

• Take-Off Gross Weight, (TOGW)

• Pressure Altitude (Hp),

• Outside Air Temperature (OAT),

• Headwind component,

• Obstacles and position relative to the operational surface.


2. Weight determination

• Determine the maximum GW permitted by the WAT chart for the ambi-
ent conditions and applicable procedure.

• Ensure the aircraft weight is equal or less than the permitted weight.
3. If wind is present, calculate the VTOSS/VBLSS or VCOSS (depending on the
procedure) applicable with the headwind component.
4. Verify the distance required to Take-Off/Land is compatible with the
applicable operating rules.
5. Verify if the PATH 1 and 2 and the acceleration distance permit the
obstacles known in the trajectory to be cleared with the required
operational distance.
6. If required evaluate a possible turn (no more than 90° of direction change,
maintaining wind in front sections) correcting PATH 2 gradient with the
turn reduction factor.

Note
Distances can be shortened and climb gradients increased by
decreasing the TOGW in order to accommodate Take-Off and
Landing sites.

Supplement 4 AW189 - RFM
CAT A Operations Document N°
Introduction 189G0290X002

Example 1: Determine of Maximum GW for CAT A Take-Off

Take-Off Ambient conditions: OAT 40°C, Hp= 2000 ft

Procedure: Clear Area (Supplement 4 Part B)

Aircraft configuration: Anti Ice OFF, Heater OFF

From chart Figure 4B-2 enter from the left side Pressure Altitude 2000 ft
moving right to intercept the 40°C line then drop down vertically to obtain
the maximum permitted weight of 8042 kg. The same value can be read
from the table in Figure 4B-3.

For intermediate OAT values it is possible to interpolate graphically on


the chart or using the table values.

Example 2: Determine VTOSS/VBLSS /VCOSS

Conditions: Known wind 20 kts /200°, Take-Off direction 240°

The relative wind to the Take-Off direction is -40° and entering the Wind
component chart (for example Figure 4A-5 or Figure 4B-6) with 20 kt and
40° a headwind component of 15 kt is obtained and a cross wind compo-
nent of 13 kt.

Using the headwind component enter the appropriate chart (VTOSS/


VBLSS for Clear Area procedure or VCOSS for Vertical procedure) to deter-
mine the correct speed.

Example 3: Take-Off Distance Required Calculation

Take-Off Ambient conditions: OAT 40°C, Hp= 2000 ft

Aircraft TOGW = 7200 kg

Procedure: Vertical (Supplement 4 Part A)

Aircraft configuration: Anti Ice OFF, Heater OFF

Using Figure 4A-6 on the x axis at 2000 ft Hp move up vertically to inter-


cept the 40°C line. From this point move right horizontally to intercept the
7200 kg line (interpolated between 7100 kg and 7300 kg). Move down
vertically to the distance axis and 603 m. (move up vertically for the dis-
tance in feet and 1980 ft).

Rev. 1
AW189 - RFM Supplement 4
Document N° CAT A Operations
189G0290X002 Introduction

Therefore during the Take-Off with a single engine failure the distance
from the start of the Take-Off to reach 35 ft and a positive rate of climb at
VTOSS is 603 m (1980 ft).
This distance must clear obstructions by the required operational height
to permit the safe Vertical Take-Off procedure, in case of a single engine
failure, and to commence the PATH 1 climb.

Example 4: Obstacle Clearance Trajectory

Take-Off Ambient conditions: OAT 40°C, Hp= 2000 ft, 0 kt Headwind

Aircraft TOGW = 8000 kg

Procedure: Clear Area (Supplement 4 Part B)

Aircraft configuration: Anti Ice OFF, Heater OFF

From Table Figure 4B-3 it can be confirmed that the TOGW does not
exceed the MTOW (8042 kg) for the ambient conditions.

The distance and height gained during a Clear Area Take-Off is made up
of 4 parts (see Figure S4-2 ):

a) Distance to obtain 35 ft AGL VTOSS and a positive rate of climb


b) Distance to obtain 200ft AGL at VTOSS

c) Distance for horizontal acceleration to Vy at 200 ft AGL

d) Distance for climb from achieving Vy to 1000 ft AGL

Introduction 189G0290X002

Distance a). On page S4-B-11 we see the CTO distance is fixed at


600 m for the Clear Area procedure.

Distance b). Using Figure 4B-13 and Figure 4B-14 for PATH 1 Climb
Gradient for 7900 kg and 8300 kg respectively and with zero headwind
the VTOSS is calculated at 50 KIAS then we obtain 8 ft and 5 ft respec-
tively mean height gained in 30 m of horizontal distance. Interpolating
between 7900 kg and 8300 kg for the weight of 8000 kg we obtain
7.25 ft.

Therefore from 35 ft (end of CTO distance) to 200 ft AGL (start of level


acceleration) a distance of:
((200-35)/7.25) x 30 = 683 m is required
Distance c). Using Figure 4B-23 enter the vertical axis at 2000 ft Hp and
move right horizontally to intercept the ‘OAT at or above 10°C° line, drop
down vertically for a distance of 740 m.

Distance d). Using Figure 4B-30 for PATH 2 Climb Gradient for 7900 kg
we obtain 2.25 ft of mean height gained in 30 m of horizontal distance.
Using Figure 4B-31 for 8300 kg we cannot, for the ambient conditions,
achieve the minimum gradient of 2 (to assure a rate of climb of 150 fpm)
so interpolation between the 7900 kg weight and 8300 kg weight is not
possible. As we are close to but still within the MTOW then the PATH 2
condition must be the limiting condition for the WAT so we must use the
minimum gradient of 2 ft.

Therefore from 200 ft AGL to 1000 ft AGL we would require a distance of:
(1000-200/2) x 30 = 12000 m.

From this profile we can assess if any obstacles within the Take-Off
trajectory are cleared with sufficient margin for the required operational
clearance.

The total distance to achieve 1000 ft AGL would be 14023 m with a sin-
gle engine failure at or after TDP.

If this profile and distance was unacceptable by reducing the aircraft


TOGW the distances can be reduced. If we assume a reduced weight of
7100kg, for example, we can then calculate that:

Distance a) remains at 600 m as this is fixed for the Clear Area proce-
dure

Distance b) Using graph Figure 4B-11 for PATH 1 Climb Gradient for
7100 kg and with zero headwind then we obtain 16 ft.

The distance becomes:


((200-35)/16) x 30 = 309 m
Distance c) remains 740 m as this is not effected by weight

Distance d) Using Figure 4B-28 for PATH 2 Climb Gradient for 7100 kg
we obtain 5.4 ft of mean height gained in 30 m of horizontal distance.

The distance becomes:


(1000-200/5.4) x 30 = 4444 m.

Introduction 189G0290X002

If, for the 7100 kg case a headwind of 20 kts is present then the dis-
tances are further reduce and become:

Distance a) remains at 600 m as this is fixed for the Clear Area proce-
dure

Distance b) Using graph Figure 4B-11 for PATH 1 Climb Gradient for
7100 kg and with 20 kts headwind the VTOSS is calculated (Figure 2B-1)
at 60 KIAS then we obtain 17.5 ft.

The distance becomes:


((200-35)/17.5) x 30 = 282 m
Distance c) remains 740 m as this is not effected by headwind

Distance d) Using Figure 4B-28 for PATH 2 Climb Gradient for 7100 kg
with 20 kt Headwind component we obtain 7.0 ft of mean height gained in
30 m of horizontal distance.

The distance becomes:


(1000-200/7) x 30 = 3428 m.
The total distance to achieve 1000 ft AGL at 7100 kg and a 20 kt head-
wind component would be 5050 m with a single engine failure at or after
TDP.

Example 4: Climb Gradient in Turn During PATH 2 Climb

During the PATH 2 climb at Vy it is possible to carry out a turn, if required,


to avoid possible obstacles in the climb out path. The turn will reduce the
rate of climb and can only be carried out up to a maximum or 90° heading
change from the climb out direction.

Required: Climb Gradient for bank turn climb of 15° for a total heading
change of 35° and the distance travelled from the commencement of the
turning point.
Take-Off Ambient conditions: OAT 10°C, Hp= 1000 ft, 0 kt Headwind
Aircraft TOGW = 7100 kg
Headwind component = 10 kt
Procedure: Clear Area (Supplement 4 Part B)

Note
This procedure is not valid for PATH 1-2 climb at VCOSS.

exceed the MTOW (8300 kg) for the ambient conditions.

Using Figure 4B-28 for PATH 2 Climb Gradient for 7100 kg we obtain
10 ft of mean height gained in 30 m of horizontal distance for 0 wind con-
dition and 11 ft for a 10 kt headwind.

Therefore for a straight climb the Mean Height Gained in 30 m is 11 ft.

Bank Turn in Climb we must use the Mean Height Gained in 30 m of 10 ft


as the headwind component benefit cannot be applied for turns during
PATH 2 climb.

Using the Effect on PATH 2 Gradient table Figure 4B-1, from Gradient
Correction row move right to Bank Angle of 15° and read -2 ft. Correcting
the Mean Height Gained in 30 m:

10 - 2 = 8 ft

To calculate the distance covered in 35° of heading change from the Dis-
tance travelled for 10° of Heading change row move right to Bank Angle
of 15° and read 172 m. To obtain the distance in 35° of heading change
multiply by 3.5.

172 x 3.5 = 602 m.

PERFORMANCE CORRECTION FOR KIT INSTALLATION


When Optional Supplement kits are fitted that effect the external profile or
reduce the engine power available the aircraft performance is effected. This
effect takes the form of a reduction in climb gradient for CAT A operation and
may required a reduction in weight if the minimum required climb gradients
cannot be achieved. The minimum gradients being:
Helipad/Heliport Procedure PATH 1-2, 8.6 Mean Height Gained in 100ft of
Horizontal Distance or
Clear Area Procedure Path 1, 2.05 and PATH 2, 1.95 Mean Height Gained in
100ft of Horizontal Distance
The Table in Figure S4-4 shows the Drag Factor which is used with the
Chart 1 Optional Kit Effect for PATH 1 and PATH 2 to define the reduction in
climb gradient which must be applied to the Category A performance PATH 1
and PATH 2 when optional equipments are installed.
If the Gradient, once corrected, is below the minimum required then Chart 2
must be used taking the gradient difference to recover the minimum to the
required value which will then define the weight reduction necessary to
recover the climb gradient to the minimum.
The last two columns of Figure S4-4 ROC AEO and OEI are not used for cor-
rection of the CAT A Climb Gradient.
If more than one kit is installed the Drag Factor for the kits installed must be
added together to give the Drag Factor for the combination installed.
Optional kits not listed in the table do not have an effect on climb performance.
Blank Correction Tables Figure S4-13 to Figure S4-15 are provided at the end
of this section to assist in the correction calculation.

Example 1
Define the maximum weight to perform a Clear Area procedure at a Pressure
Altitude = 3000 ft Hp, OAT= -10 °C, A/ICE ON and 0 kts headwind with Double
Hoist Supplement 16, FLIR Supplement 18, Trakka Searchlight Supplement
19 and Bubble Windows Supplement 23 installed.

Solution:
The Maximum Weight for the clean aircraft configuration is first determined
using the Weight Altitude Temperature chart Figure 4B-4 which gives a weight
of 8300 kg.

Document N° CAT A Operations
189G0290X002 Introduction

The PATH 1 gradient is determined for this weight using Figure 4B-22 to give a
Gradient of 2.1 ft.
The PATH 2 gradient is determined for this weight using Figure 4B-39 to give a
Gradient of 4.6 ft.
These values must now be corrected for the effect of the kits installed, so
using the table in Figure S4-4 the combined Drag Factor from the Double
Hoist, FLIR, Trakka Searchlight and Bubble Window installations is calcu-
lated:
0.30 + 0.25 + 0.15 + 0.10 = 0.8 Drag Factor
To calculate the CAT A Gradient reduction for PATH 1 enter Chart 1 Figure S4-
7 on the Drag Factor axis at 0.8 then move up vertically to intercept the GW
line at 8300 kg and from here move left to the Gradient Axis to read a Gradient
Reduction of 0.35.
The same procedure is used for the PATH 2 Chart 1 Figure S4-9 to obtain a
Gradient Reduction of 0.85.
Applying these corrections to the clean aircraft climb gradient gives:
PATH 1 2.1 - 0.35 = 1.75
PATH 2 4.6 - 0.85 = 3.75
As the PATH 1 gradient is below the minimum of 2.05 the maximum GW must
be reduced to recover the minimum climb gradient to 2.05. The Chart 2 Figure
S4-8 is used. Enter the Gradient to Recover Minimum Performance axis with
the value required to achieve the minimum gradient ie:
2.05 - 1.75 = 0.3
From 0.3 move vertically upward to intercept the weight line at 8300 kg them
more horizontally left to the Weight Reduction axis to read 50 kg. Therefore to
recover the PATH 1 gradient to the minimum the aircraft GW must be reduced
to 8250 kg.
The PATH 2 gradient is not below the minimum of 1.95 so no weight reduction
is required for the PATH 2, the weight reduction for PATH 1 will improve the
climb gradient of PATH 2.
If a weight reduction is required for both PATH 1 and PATH 2 the largest
weight reduction value must be used to define the maximum GW.
See completed correction table for the Clear Area Procedure Figure S4-11.

Example 2
Define the maximum weight to perform a Vertical Helipad/Heliport Procedure
at a Pressure Altitude = 1000 ft Hp, OAT= -20 °C, A/ICE ON and 5 kts head-
wind with Double Hoist Supplement 16 and FLIR Supplement 18 installed.

Solution:
The Maximum GW for the clean aircraft configuration is first determined using
the Weight Altitude Temperature chart Figure 4A-3 which gives a weight of
7900 kg.
The Vertical Procedure has a combine PATH 1-2 chart so the gradient is
determined for this weight using Figure 4A-22 to give a Climb Gradient of
12 ft.
This value must now be corrected for the effect of the kits installed, so using
the table in Figure S4-4 the combined Drag Factor from the Double Hoist and
FLIR installations is calculated:
0.30 + 0.25 = 0.55 Drag Factor
To calculate the CAT A Gradient reduction for PATH 1-2 enter Chart 1 Figure
S4-5 on the Drag Factor axis at 0.55 then move up vertically to intercept the
GW line at 7900 kg and move left to the Gradient Reduction axis to read a
0.4.
Applying this corrections to the clean aircraft climb gradient gives:
PATH 1-2 12 - 0.4 = 11.6

As the PATH 1-2 gradient is not below the minimum of 8.6 then no weight
reduction is required and the maximum GW for the configuration remains at
7900 kg.
See completed correction table for the Vertical Procedure Figure S4-12.

SECTION 2A - NORMAL PROCEDURES


GENERAL
The Vertical Take Off procedure comprises of a gentle vertical climb above the
take off surface to a hover at the fixed TDP of 110 ft. The pilot then initiates the
transition forward and into the climb. See Figure 2A-3 for pilot view of helipad
at TDP.
At any time during the vertical climb or at the hower point an engine failure dic-
tates a vertical OEI landing back to the take off point. After the pilot has com-
mitted to initiate the transition forward an engine failure will then dictates a
flyaway manouvre to be carried out.

SECTION 3A - EMERGENCY AND


MALFUNCTION PROCEDURES

GENERAL
The procedures detailed herein only consider the failure of one engine in the
Take-Off path and assume the pilot gives first priority to aircraft control and to
achieve a safe flight path.
For all Take-Off procedures the following shall be observed:

1. Engine failure prior or at the TD — Recognition of engine failure prior


to or at the TDP dictates that the
Take-Off be rejected

2. Engine failure after TDP — Recognition of the failure after the


TDP dictates that the Take-Off be
continued.

Procedures dealing with subsequent Failure/Malfunctions, other than engine


failure, must be initiated only after the aircraft control and a safe flight/ground
condition have been obtained. The procedures for the emergency/malfunction
can be followed according to the appropriate instructions detailed in Section 3
of the basic Rotorcraft Flight Manual.

SECTION 3B - EMERGENCY AND


MALFUNCTION PROCEDURES
GENERAL
The procedures detailed herein only consider the failure of one engine in the
Take-Off path and assume the pilot gives first priority to aircraft control and to
achieve a safe flight path.
For all Take-Off procedures the following shall be observed:

1. Engine failure prior to TDP — Recognition of engine failure prior


to the TDP dictates that the Take-
Off be rejected.

2. Engine failure at or after TDP — Recognition of the failure at or after


the TDP dictates that the Take-Off
be continued.
Procedures dealing with subsequent Failure/Malfunctions, other than engine
failure, must be initiated only after the aircraft control and a safe flight/ground
condition have been obtained. The procedures for the emergency/malfunction
can be followed according to the appropriate instructions detailed in Section 3
of the basic Rotorcraft Flight Manual.

SECTION 4B - PERFORMANCE DATA


WIND EFFECT
For Crosswind and Headwind Component computation refer to Wind Compo-
nent Chart (Figure 4B-6).
Example
Calculate Headwind and Crosswind component for a reported wind of 25
kts from 35° with respect to the helicopter heading.
Solution
Enter Wind Component Chart Figure 4B-6 at 25 kt on the Reported Wind
Speed axis, proceed right following the curved lines to wind relative angle
of 35°. At the intercept proceed horizontally right to Headwind Compo-
nent axis and read 20 kts, from the intercept proceed vertically to Cross-
wind Component axis and read 14 kts.

W.A.T. CHARTS

CLIMB PERFORMANCE

Single Engine Rate Off Climb at VY


The ROC, at VY and MCP OEI, is unchanged from the basic Rotorcraft Flight
Manual.

EXAMPLE FOR CLIMB GRADIENT WITH BANK TURN


Calculate the following:
• Climb Gradient for straight climb

• Climb Gradient for Bank turn climb of 15° for a total heading change of
35° and the distance travelled from the comencement of the turning
point.
Data

—Take Off weight = 7900 kg

—Altitude = 4000 ft Hp

—Temperature = 15° C

—Headwind Component = 20 kts

—Configuration = Anti Ice OFF


Solution

• Straight Climb - Using the Take Off Flight PATH 2 Gradient Maximum
Continuous Power OEI chart, Figure 4B-30, on the Pressure Altitude
axis from 4000 ft move right to intercept the 15° C line (interpolated
between 10° C and 20°C ), drop down to the junction of the two graphs.
Follow the Headwind Component curves until intercepting the 20 kts
line, drop vertically from this point to Mean Height Gained in 100 ft of 6
ft.

• Bank Turn in Climb - Using the Take Off Flight PATH 2 Gradient Maxi-

tude axis from 4000 ft move right to intercept the 15° C line
(interpolated between 10° C and 20° C), drop down to the junction of
the two graphs. Drop vertically from this point to Mean Height Gained
in 100 ft of 5.0 ft. (Headwind Component benefit cannot be applied for
turns during PATH 2 climb).
Using the Effect of Turn on PATH 2 Gradient table, Figure 4B-4, from
Distance Correction row move right to Bank Angle of 15° read -2 ft.
Correcting the Mean Height Gained in 100 ft:

6.0 - 2 = 4.0 ft

To calculate distance covered in 35° of heading change, from Distance


Travelled for 10° of Heading Change row move right to Bank Angle of
15° read 566 ft. To get distance in 35° of heading change multiply by
3.5.

566 x 3.5 = 2096 ft

Therefore the height gained from commencement of the turn during the
PATH 2 climb will be 2096/100x4. = 84 ft.

SECTION 3D - EMERGENCY AND


MALFUNCTION PROCEDURES

GENERAL
The procedures detailed herein only consider the failure of one engine in the
Landing path and assume the pilot gives first priority to aircraft control and
achieve a safe flight path.
For all Landing procedures the following shall be observed:

1. Engine failure prior to LDP — Recognition of engine failure prior


to the LDP dictates that a Balked
Landing be carried out.

2. Engine failure at or after LDP — Recognition of engine failure at or


after the LDP dictates that the Land-
ing be continued.
Procedures dealing with subsequent Failure/Malfunctions, other than engine
failure, must be initiated only after the aircraft control and a safe flight/ground
condition have been obtained. The procedures for the emergency/malfunction
can be followed according to the appropriate instructions detailed in Section 3
of the basic Rotorcraft Flight Manual.

CAUTION
If this procedure is modified, it may not be possible, if an engine
fails in the landing path, to carry out a safe OEI landing or
achieve the scheduled OEI performance.

1. Climb Out Safety Speed — Select VCOSS based on reported


headwind component.

2. Pre-landing checks — Complete.

3. Landing direction — If possible orientate the aircraft for


an approach into the prevailing
wind. Avoid winds from rear sectors
(relative 90°- 270°)

4. AWG (ECDU MISC page) — NORM/REGR as required

6. Initial point — Establish an approach to pass


through 200 ft (60 m) ALS at
40 KIAS and rate of descent of not
more than 200 fpm. Decelerate to
achieve LDP (50 ft ALS) with a
groundspeed of 25 kts.

7. Landing — Continue to descend to a HIGE.


Maximum forward groundspeed on
touchdown 5 kts.

8. PARK BRAKE — As required after landing.

SECTION 3E - EMERGENCY AND


MALFUNCTION PROCEDURES
GENERAL
The procedures detailed herein only consider the failure of one engine in the
Landing path and assume the pilot gives first priority to aircraft control and
achieve a safe flight path.
For all Landing procedures the following shall be observed:

1. Engine failure prior to LDP — Recognition of engine failure prior


to LDP permits either a continuation
of the approach and an OEI Land-
ing or a Balked Landing to be car-
ried out

2. Engine failure at or after LDP — Recognition of engine failure at or


after the LDP dictates that the Land-
ing be continued.

Procedures dealing with subsequent Failure/Malfunctions, other than engine


failure, must be initiated only after the aircraft control and a safe flight/ground
condition have been obtained. The procedures for the emergency/malfunction
can be followed according to the appropriate instructions detailed in Section 3
of the basic Rotorcraft Flight Manual.

Clear Area Landing Procedures 189G0290X002

SECTION 3F - EMERGENCY AND


MALFUNCTION PROCEDURES
GENERAL
The procedures detailed herein only consider the failure of one engine in the
Landing path and assume the pilot gives first priority to aircraft control and
achieve a safe flight path.
For all Landing procedures the following shall be observed:

1. Engine failure prior to LDP — Recognition of engine failure prior


to the LDP permits either a continu-
ation of the approach and an OEI
Landing or a Balked Landing to be
carried out

2. Engine failure at or after LDP — Recognition of engine failure at or


after the LDP dictates that the Land-
ing be continued.

Procedures dealing with subsequent Failure/Malfunctions, other than engine


failure, must be initiated only after the aircraft control and a safe flight/ground
condition have been obtained. The procedures for the emergency/malfunction
can be followed according to the appropriate instructions detailed in Section 3
of the basic Rotorcraft Flight Manual.

SECTION 4F - PERFORMANCE DATA


WIND EFFECT
For Crosswind and Headwind components computation refer to Wind Compo-
nent Chart (Figure 4B-6)

W.A.T. CHARTS
Clear Area WAT charts/tables are shown in Figure 4B-2 to Figure 4B-5.

BALKED LANDING DISTANCE


The horizontal distance from the LDP to the point at which a minimum of 35 ft
(10 m) is attained at VBLSS and a positive OEI rate of climb is shown is 200 m
(660 ft).

LANDING DISTANCE OEI


The maximum landing distance OEI from 50 ft AGL to touch down is 450 m
(1480 ft) and 250 m (820 ft) braking distance for a maximum total landing dis-
tance of 700 m (2300 ft).

TAKE-OFF FLIGHT PATH 1

Mean Height Gained in 100 ft (30 m) Horizontal Distance


The mean height gained in 100 ft (30 m) of horizontal distance travelled during
an OEI climb at VBLSS (50 KIAS) and 2.5min power is shown in Figure 4B-6 to
Figure 4B-21 for various altitudes, temperatures, weights, and headwind com-
ponent and Intake Anti Ice OFF and ON.
The charts apply from the end of the Balked Landing distance to a height of
200 ft (60 m) AGL.

LEVEL FLIGHT ACCELERATION


The distance for the level flight acceleration from VTOSS, at the end of the
PATH 1 climb, to VY, the start of the PATH 2 climb, is shown in Figure 4B-23.

INFLUENCE OF TURNS DURING PATH 2 CLIMB


The performance data Figure 4B-24 to Figure 4B-39 apply to climbs at YY
without any significant bank angle. The table Figure 4B-1 shows the distance
travelled for a 10 degree of heading change and reduction in height gain over
a distance of 100 ft (30 m) in the Take-Off flight PATH 2 gradient. (valid for all
combinations of gross weight, altitude, OAT).

CLIMB PERFORMANCE

— 3 roof mounted attachment points (2 forward and one aft) for HO harness
and rope handrail.

— a step bar protection on the lower right side of the fuselage.


The hoist unit contains 290 ft (88.4 m) of usable cable and may lower/lift a
maximum load of 600 lb (272 kg).
The cable payout is shown on the 3 digit display on the pendant. A display for-
mat xxx means the cable payout is in feet while yy.y means the cable payout is
in meters. The cable payout indication is for information only and may not
reflect the exact position of the cable. The display is also used to indicate fault
codes within the hoist unit.
The Pilot Control panel PWR ON/OFF switch is used to turn the hoist ON,
then the cargo hoisting and lowering can be controlled by the HO through the
remote pendant thumb wheel (Figure S5-7) which provides variable cable
speeds. The cable speed for hoisting raising and lowering is vairiable from 0 to
250 fpm (76 m/min) with maximum load. The pilot can also control the opera-
tion at a fixed cable speed of 50% of nominal through the hoist control switch
on the collective grip (Figure S5-6). Both controls automatically slow down and
stop the electric motor at the cable extremes. The Pilot hoist control overrides
the HO control.
The hoist is provided with a cable foul protection system which automatically
stops the motor if the cable is not correctly wound onto the drum and displays
the HOIST CBL FOUL caution message on the MFD.
An electrical cable cutter system (PQRS) is available to the Pilot and Copilot,
via a guarded switch on the collective grips (Figure S5-6) and to the HO, via a
guarded switch CUT on the HO control panel mounted in the cabin (Figure S5-
4).
The hoist kit also comprises a manual cable cutter (BQRS) and a right side
cabin door step protection pad to prevent damage to the hoist cable if it con-
tacts the step.
In the event of a failure of the electrical cable cutter system, the cable may be
cut with the manual cutter installed under the HO seat or in a position easily
accessible to the HO.
The hoist SEARCHLIGHT is controlled by the pilot control panel LT switch and
the LAMP ON/OFF switch and the 5 way switch on the HO control panel.
When the pilot control panel LT switch is selected to ON the HO controller
SEARCHLIGHT circuit is powered. Selecting the HO controller LAMP switch
ON the lamp system is supplied with power but the lamp remains off. Pressing
the central fifth position on the 5 way switch the lamp illuminates but remains
stowed. Moving the 5 way switch to FWD un-stows the lamp, which can then

189G0290X002 Operations (Goodrich)

be directed using the switch FWD/R/AFT/L positions. Switching the LAMP


switch to OFF turns the lamp off but leaves it extended. Pushing the center
position switches the light off (if not already switched off) and stows the light.
The HO audio panel, Figure S5-5, is used to control the HO communication
with other crew members. The HO plugs his headset into the HOIST CON-
TROL panel HEADSET socket. Then the HO can use either VOX or the PTT
trigger, first detent, on the back of the Pendant to speak on the aircraft inter-
com. The HO can also transmit on COM3 or COM4 using the Pendant HO
PTT trigger, second detent.
The pendant also includes a Winchman Trim Mode caption and a five position
switch to give the HO limited lateral and longitudinal groundspeed control
when in HOV Mode and selected by the pilot. See Supplement 24 SAR Oper-
ations for details.

SECTION 1 - LIMITATIONS

GENERAL

— With HOIST fitted, but not used, the Limitations stated in the Basic RFM
for CAT B operations and in Supplement 4 for CAT A operations are appli-
cable.

— The external hoist equipment certification approval does NOT constitute


operational approval. Operational approval for external load operation
must be granted by the Local Aviation Authority.
— The external hoist system meets the certification requirements for HEC.

— For compliance with operating rules, the AW189 is certified to


CAT A engineering standards.

— The HO Pendant and bracket must be removed when Hoist operations


are not envisaged and when 16 or more passenger seats are installed.

— During External Hoist operations the number of hoist lifts must be


recorded in the helicopter log-book. An External Hoist lift is defined as an
unreeling and recovery of the cable with a load attached to the hook. Any
operations where a load is applied for half of the operation (i.e. unreeling
or recovery) must be considered as one lift.

TYPE OF OPERATION

— The hoist installation is approved for:


Lifting external loads which are jettisonable and which are lifted free of land or
water
Lowering/raising NHEC or HEC in areas where landing cannot be carried out,
under the following conditions:

• Day/Night with ground visual contact.

• Right cabin door locked open.

— Operation of the external hoist equipment with HEC requires the use of a
Personnel Carrying Device System (PCDS), which must be approved and
the appropriate size selected for the mission. TSO-C167 provides one
acceptable means of approval for such systems.
PCDS part number AMTC-H1037-BL is TSO-C167 approved.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Ditching Regulations
Demonstration of emergency over water landing capability and bouyancy up
to Sea State 4 is required by ditching regulations. However, for this installation
Sea State 6 has been demonstrated and approved for weights up to 8600 kg.

Emergency Flotation System (P/N 8G9560F00111, P/N 8G9560F00211)


This system comprises of 4 flotation bags, 2 mounted on the lower nose sec-
tion (left and right hand sides) and two mounted on the lower aft central sec-
tion (left and right hand side). The system incorporates 2 inflation bottles,
mounted inboard on the aft flotation bags container, piping and electrical con-
nections for inflation of the 4 flotation bags simultaneously. The inflation bottle
pressure can be inspected prior to flight by viewing a pressure gauge through
an inspection window behind the two aft flotation bag installations.
The flotation bags are automatically deployed on ditching by water sensors (2
of the four sensors must be activated for flotation inflation) or by manual oper-
ation of the guarded FLOAT override pushbutton on either the Pilot or Copilot
collective grip. (See Figure S6-2 )
For operation of both automatic or manual flotation inflation the OFF/ARMED
switch on the FLOATS EMER control panel, mounted in the interseat console,
must be set to ARMED. When selected to ARMED a FLOAT ARM caution illu-
minates on the CAS.
The control panel also incorporates indicator lights (LH BTL and RH BTL) that
indicate the state of the system:

— On the ground the 4 indicator lights should illuminate when the TEST but-
ton is pushed to indicate that all the electrical circuits are functioning cor-
rectly. If any of the lights fail to illuminate there is a malfunction in the
electrical system circuitry.

— In flight if any of the 4 indicator light illuminates there is a malfunction in


the electrical system.

Emergency Life Raft System (P/N 8G2560F00511)


The life raft system consists of 2 x 14 man (21 man overload) life rafts
mounted outside the helicopter on the upper part of the left and right sponson.
The life raft inflation is activated manually, and independantly, for left or right
life raft installation. Two modes of manual deployment are available, one via a
remote handle mounted on the Pilot/Copilot forward door frame and the other
by a handle mounted externally to the aircraft and directly on the life raft con-
tainer, under a flap, which is clearly marked. (See Figure S6-3 ). The inflation
bottle pressure can be inspected prior to flight by viewing a pressure gauge
through an inspection window in each sponson lift raft installation.

MALFUNCTION PROCEDURES

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

DITCHING
Consideration should be given to the environmental factors, such as wind
direction and speed, sea state and engine power available.
Approach and landing should be into wind.
When landing into waves, land head-on to oncoming waves avoiding, if possi-
ble, ditching into the face of the wave.

CAUTION
As considerable error can result from estimation of height over
water, the radar altimeter should be used for height cues during
descent.

CAUTION
Do not deploy flotation bags in flight. Bags will automatically
deploy on water touchdown.

CAUTION
At high touchdown speeds, the rotorcraft may roll and turn to
the left after touchdown due to gyroscopic effects. This will
require pilot corrective action.

Note
With the undercarriage retracted the Rotor Brake does not func-
tion.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Forward Fuel Tanks


The forward fuel tank kit P/N 4F2810F00212 consists of two additional tanks
installed under the cabin floor between STN 3.800 and
STN 4.800 m. One on the left and the other on the right of the aircraft center-
line. (See Figure S7-1)
The tanks are connected directly to the main fuel tanks via flexible hoses. The
fuel is transferred from the forward tanks to the main tanks by two ejectors
(one for each tank) whose motive flow is supplied by the main fuel pumps
when operating. Each forward tank has a fuel gauge probe which is connected
to the fuel contents measuring system
Refuelling of the forward tanks occurs automatically when the main tanks are
refuel. This occurs due to the physical layout of the tanks and no operator con-
trol is required.

Auxiliary Fuel Tank

The Auxiliary Fuel Tank P/N 8G2810F00111 is a role fit removable single addi-
tional fuel tank. The tank consists of a fuel cell installed in the bay between the
right and left standard fuel tanks. The tank is installed behind the cabin and
isolated by bulkheads from the cabin and baggage compartments.
The tank is connected to and forms an extension to the main fuel tank through
two connectors. It is filled via the main tank and feeds the main tank by gravity.
A fuel vent line from the tank is connected to the main tank vent line system
and an electrical connection provides Fuel Gauging Control Unit information.
The Fuel Gauging System automatically compensates for the additional fuel
quantity.

Document N° Traffic Advisory
189G0290X002 System II (TCAS II)

GENERAL INFORMATION
The Rockwell Collins onboard Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System
(TCAS II) monitors a radius of nominal 14 NM around the helicopter by interro-
gating any intruding aircraft transponder and determining if a potential conflict
with other aircraft exists.
The system comprises of a TCAS II processor installed in the aft avionic bay
and two directional antennas one mounted on the top surface within the nose
radome and the second rear antenna is mounted under the rear part of the air-
craft belly.
The TCAS II system interrogates ICAO compliant transponders of aircraft in
the vicinity and based on replies received computes the relative range, altitude
(if included in the reply message), bearing and closure rate of other transpon-
der equipped aircraft with respect to the helicopter. The TCAS II calculates the
time to reach the Closest Point of Approach (CPA) with the intruder, this time
value is the main parameter for issuing alerts. If the transponder replies from
nearby aircraft includes their altitude, the TCAS II computes the time to reach
co-altitude.
TCAS II issues two types of alerts:

— TAs (Traffic Advisory) to assist the visual search for the intruder aircraft
and prepare the pilot for a potential RA,

— RAs (Resolution Advisory) to recommend manoeuvres that will either


increase or maintain the existing vertical separation from the intruder air-
craft. When the intruder aircraft is also fitted with TCAS II, both TCAS II
systems coordinate their RAs through the Mode S data link to ensure that
complementary resolution senses are selected.

RESOLUTION ADVISORY MANOUVRES


The recommended pilot action on activation of a Resolution Advisory is to ini-
tiate immediately a climb or descent as dictated by the TCAS II Resolution
Advisory. The technique to achieve the requested climb or descend rate will
be dependant on the initial flight conditions such as airspeed, altitude, weight,
AFCS modes engaged etc.
On activation of a RA the pilot should not initiate banking manoeuvres but
attempt to fly the aircraft in accordance with the indication displayed on the
VSI.

EASA Approved FOR TRAINING ONLY Issue 1 Page S8-1


Supplement 8 AW189 - RFM
Traffic Advisory Document N°
System II (TCAS II) 189G0290X002

Note
To manoeuvre the aircraft for compliance with a RA the cyclic
and collective FTR buttons should be pressed and, if AFCS
upper modes are engaged, held pressed throughout the entire
manoeuvring phase to maintain the IAS and Vertical mode bugs
synchronized with the actual airspeed and altitude.
When a ‘CLIMB’ Resolution Advisory is generated initiate immediately a climb
to achieve the rate of climb as dictated by the TCAS II.
The following airspeed and power considerations should be taken into
account:

— If airspeed is above 90 KIAS initiate climb using cyclic to reduce airspeed


towards but not below 90 KIAS, whilst simultaneously applying MCP
100% PI, using collective.

— If airspeed is 90 KIAS or below initiate climb using collective to apply 30


min Torque/5 min Engine 116% whilst allowing IAS to increase towards
but not above 90 KIAS.

— If the required climb rate cannot be achieved, maintain the maximum


achievable within the aircraft limits.

— Following the ‘CLEAR OF CONFLICT’ advisory, the aircraft should be


returned promptly to the applicable clearance unless otherwise directed
by ATC.
When a ‘DESCENT’ Resolution Advisory is generated then:

— initiate immediately a descent to achieve the rate of descent as dictated


by the TCAS II using collective to decrease the torque setting as
required, but not entering into autorotation (minimum 10% PI).

— If the required descent rate cannot be achieved, maintain the maximum


descent rate respecting the aircraft limits.

— Following the ‘CLEAR OF CONFLICT’ advisory, the aircraft should be


returned promptly to the applicable clearance unless otherwise directed
by ATC.
The TCAS II continues to monitor the flight paths of conflicting aircraft follow-
ing an RA. If the aircraft flight paths are different from those required, the
TCAS II can issue a new RA to maximize separation. If this occurs follow the
revised RA.

SECTION 1 - LIMITATIONS
TYPE OF OPERATION
The TCAS II system is approved for VFR and IFR operation as an aid to visu-
ally acquiring traffic and indicates the vertical manoeuvre necessary to avoid
conflicting traffic.

WEIGHT AND CG LIMITATIONS


After TCAS II system installation, the new empty weight and CG location must
be determined.

TCAS II SYSTEM LIMITATIONS

— The pilot must not manoeuvre the helicopter based only on Traffic Advi-
sory (TA) or on information displayed on the traffic display.

— The pilot is authorized to deviate from the current ATC clearance to com-
ply with a TCAS II Resolution Advisory (RA)

The RA test indication is not displayed during the TCAS II func-
tional test.

7. MFD page — Select as required.

IN FLIGHT PROCEDURES

CAUTION
Do not attempt manoeuvres based only on Traffic Advisory (TA)
information shown by TCAS II. Information on the display is pro-
vided as an aid in visually acquiring traffic, it is not a replace-
ment for ATC instructions and See & Avoid techniques.

CAUTION
Resolution Advisory (RA) indications should be complied with
promptly even if it deviates from the current ATC clearance.
Reporting of the RA and actions should also be communicated
to the ATC as soon as operational conditions permit.

TCAS II TA ONLY MODE


Switch the TCAS II in TA ONLY mode when flying the following operating con-
ditions:

— To preclude un-necessary RA’s when intentionally operating near other


aircraft such as closely spaced parallel runways etc.

— With One Engine Inoperative (OEI)

Note
When the conditions for selecting TA ONLY have been removed
the TCAS II should be selected to TA/RA mode again.

required.

Note
If MFD is not set in FPLN page (eg. PWR PLANT) and TCAS II
is ON, as soon as a TA or RA is generated from the system, the
cursor is prompted on FPLN bezel key. Pressing the ENTER
key on CCD control panel, the FPLN page is displayed on MFD
with traffic information. Moreover a TRAFFIC message is dis-
played on the PFD on the left side of the ADI (amber for TA and
red for RA) and an aural warning is generated.

Note
On MFD FPLN page if north up (PLAN) presentation is selected
the TCAS display is not shown. The audio alarms and PFD
TCAS II display function correctly.

tions. Maintain frequent visual scan and continue to communi-
cate as necessary and as appropriate with ATC.

Note
The RA voice messages are inhibited and TCAS II switches
automatically into TA ONLY mode for HTAWS or CAS WARN-
ING voice messages. In this mode, RAs are not issued and cur-
rent RAs become TAs. The TCAS II remains in TA ONLY mode
for 10 seconds after the HTAWS or CAS WARNING voice mes-
sage is removed.The RA and other voice messages may play
together if appropriate conditions are met. Differing voice tones
make the aural messages distinguishable.

ABBREVIATIONS AND DEFINITIONS


Abbreviations and definitions used throughout this Supplement are defined as
follows:

— AMSL: ............. Above Mean Sea Level

— CDS: ............... Cockpit Display System

— FLTA: ............. Forward Looking Terrain (and Obstacle) Alerting

— GPWS: ............. Ground Proximity Warning System

— HTAWS: ........... Helicopter Terrain Awareness and Warning System

— TA: .................... Terrain Awareness

— TAD: ................ Terrain/Obstacle Awareness Display

— TAWS: ............. Terrain Awareness and Warning System

— Low Altitude:..... Operations below 300 ft AGL

— Obstacle: ......... A human made structure, higher than 50 ft AGL

GENERAL INFORMATION
The HTAWS embedded in the Collins MFD-2810 provides the pilot with the
following:

— Terrain and obstacle awareness display;

— Voice alerts/warnings/callouts;

— Visual Caution and Warning messages.


This information is provided through two independent functions:
1. Forward Looking Terrain (and Obstacle) Alerting (FLTA)
This function is based on look-ahead algorithms through which alerts are gen-
erated if terrain or obstacles conflict with the path of the aircraft. It uses aircraft
position and altitude (derived from GPS) combined with vertical speed to com-
pute a projected aircraft flight path. During enroute operations, a caution alert
is generated approximately 20 seconds ahead of the terrain or obstacle con-
flicts. The caution alert will be upgraded to a warning alert approximately 10
seconds ahead of the conflict.

EASA Approved FOR TRAINING ONLY Issue 1 Page S9-1


Supplement 9 AW189 - RFM
HTAWS Document N°
System 189G0290X002

2. Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS)


This function is separate from the FLTA alerting system and is a downward
looking alert capability based on the radar altimeter as an alerting source to
compute helicopter separation with respect to terrain. The GPWS can be con-
sidered as a backup system if FLTA is not available due to no GPS position
data or due to the helicopter in a hover condition. There are five operating
modes:
Mode 1: Excessive Rate of Descent
Mode 2 Not applicable to AW189
Mode 3: Descent after Take-Off or Missed Approach
Mode 4: Flight into Terrain when not in Landing configuration
Mode 5: Excessive downward deviation from an ILS glideslope
Mode 6: Altitude Callout
The display of the TAWS information is selectable on the PFD and MFD MAP
area. The Terrain image is selectable from the OVERLAY menu when the
MAP format has been selected on the PFD and/or the FPLN format has been
selected on the MFD.
The TAWS will display Terrain and Obstacle data in the Latitude interval rang-
ing from 70° North to 70° South.
Terrain consists of the earth’s natural surface surrounding the aircraft based
on a calculated Geometric Altitude and NOT a corrected barometric altitude. It
represents the true height above mean sea level (MSL) and it is used as a ref-
erence altitude for color coding of the terrain display.
The TAWS presentation range is automatically adjusted in conjunction with
the MAP range selection up to a maximum range of 40 NM.
The control of the various functions available on HTAWS is via the CTRL MFD
MENU TAWS tab.
When no MAP format is selected on both pilot and co-pilot PFD and no FPLN
ARC or ROSE presentation is selected on both pilot and co-pilot MFD and a
TAWS alert occurs, the MFD FPLN and the PFD MAP Menu bar legend are
overlapped by a TAWS alert (black text over amber background) to enable
TAWS overlay selection with a single keypress.
When MAP format or FPLN ARC or ROSE format is selected on at least one
PFD or MFD but no TAWS overlay is active and a TAWS alert occurs, the
TAWS overlay is automatically enabled and the MAP range scale adjusted to
5NM or to 2NM if the TAWS LOW ALT setting is active.

AW189 - RFM Supplement 9
Document N° HTAWS
189G0290X002 System

The audio alerts, visual cautions and warnings may be inhibited on the TAWS
tab of the MFD CTRL menu as follows:

— Selecting INHIBIT, a white INHIBIT message illuminates in the upper left


corner on PFD/MFD MAP page. This mode inhibits the terrain and obsta-
cle aural alerts, visual cautions and warnings and terrain/obstacles dis-
play.

— Selecting AUDIO INHIB, a white MUTE message illuminates in the upper


left corner on PFD/MFD MAP page. This mode inhibits the terrain and
obstacle audio alerts while the visual cautions, warnings remain active.
The terrain and obstacle audio alerts are restored immediately by dese-
lecting AUDIO INHIB.

For full information on the use of the HTAWS see Section 7 of the Basic RFM.

WEIGHT AND CG LIMITATIONS


No Change

HTAWS LIMITATIONS

— HTAWS must not be used for navigation.

CAUTION
The Terrain and Obstacle display is intended to serve as a ter-
rain and obstacle awareness tool only. The display and data-
base may not provide the accuracy and fidelity on which to base
routine navigation decisions and plan routes to avoid terrain or
obstacles.

— Low Altitude Mode shall not be selected when operating under IFR condi-
tions except as required when performing offshore platform IFR
Approach Procedure.

HTAWS DATABASE LIMITATIONS

— The Terrain and Obstacle Data Base installed shall be the last update for
the region being flown.

— The data base provides information on terrain and obstacles (higher than
50ft AGL) in the Latitude interval ranging from 70° North to 70° South.
Outside this latitude interval the TAWS FAIL message is displayed.

5. Terrain or Obstacle Awareness — Immediately initiate manoeuvre to


Warning alert occurs in flight provide maximum terrain or obsta-
cle clearance, until alerts cease.

Note
For operations in day VFR where terrain clearance may be
assured visually and the Terrain or Obstacle audio alerts may
hamper aircrew performance, the audio alerts, visual cautions
and warnings may be inhibited on the TAWS tab of the MFD
CTRL.

APPROACH AND LANDING CHECKS

Note
Whenever the ILS approach is not in the aircraft database the
TAWS G/S CANCEL function should be enabled before
approaches.

Note
When in an approach to an airport that is not in the HTAWS
Data Base the automatic declutter of the FLTA (TERRAIN and
OBSTACLES) will not activate. If required the audio and visual
alert envelope can be reduced by selecting the OFF APT option
which will reduce nuisance alerts but does not inhibit the sys-
tem.

HTAWS VOICE MESSAGES AND ASSOCIATED CAPTIONS

Note
Cautionary aural alerts are annunciated once. Warning aural
alerts are repeated until the triggering condition no longer
exists.

ABBREVIATIONS AND DEFINITIONS


Abbreviations and definitions used throughout this Supplement are defined as
follows:

— AMSL: Above Mean Sea Level

— CDS: Cockpit Display System

— FPV: Flight Path Vector

— Obstacle: A human made structure, higher than 50 ft AGL

GENERAL INFORMATION
The SVS embedded in the Collins MFD-2810 provides the pilot with a tridi-
mensional synthetic view of the external aircraft environment.
This function is provided through the use of precise navigation sensor inputs
and an high resolution terrain, obstacle and runway/heliport database.
The SVS also provides display of airport runways and helipads as well as of
towered and non-towered obstacles higher than 50ft.

A Flight Path Vector (FPV) which provides a direct perception of the aircraft
trajectory is also provided.
The display of the SVS information is selectable on the attitude and navigation
area of the PFD by means of the PFD MENU or by the on side DCP panel.
The FPV and obstacles display can also be disabled through the PFD MENU.
For full information on the use of the SVS see Basic RFM Section 7.

DEFINITIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS


Abbreviations and acronyms used throughout this Supplement are defined as
follows:

— IR : Infra Red

— NVG : Night Vision Goggles

— NVIS : Night Vision Imaging System.

GENERAL INFORMATION
This supplement covers the cockpit NVIS compatible lighting configuration
which make the aircraft compatible for the use with NVG systems.
The aircraft configuration involving internal/external emitting/reflecting equip-
ment approved for use with NVG is described in the Report 189G3360A001
AW189 NVG COMPATIBILITY REFERENCE HANDBOOK. Any internal/
external emitting/reflecting equipment and NVG types not defined in the above
AW report does not permit NVG Operations.
The cockpit is separated from the cabin by an approved physical barrier
included in the reference handbook.
All cockpit internal and external lights installed are either NVG compatible or
friendly, apart from the cockpit STORM lights and the external strobe lights.

Internal Lighting
The NVIS compatible cockpit consists of compatible displays, controller pan-
els, lighting. See Document 189G3360A001 AW189 NVG COMPATIBILITY
REFERENCE HANDBOOK.
The cockpit lights are controlled by the ECDU LIGHTS/CKPT LTS page and
display DIM panel (Figure S14-1 ). The MISC PNL panel mounted in the
interseat console includes the MODE NVG/NIGHT/DAY switch which is used
to select the brightness of the displays, instruments and internal lighting.
When selected to DAY, full brightness is available to the displays but this can
be varied by DIM panel dimmers. The MCDU and ECDU display brightness
can be controlled by dedicated knobs on each panel bezel.
The backlighting of the control panels is switched OFF and all indicator light-
ing is set to maximum brightness.
When selected to NIGHT all displays are reduced to a prefixed brightness but
with further adjustment available using the DIM panel dimmers or, for the
MCDU and ECDU display by dedicated knobs on each panel bezel.

EASA Approved FOR TRAINING ONLY Issue 1 Page S14-1


Supplement 14 AW189 - RFM
Night Vision Goggle Document N°
Operations 189G0290X002

All control panel and bezel back lighting is selected to a prefixed level which
can be further adjusted by the ECDU CKPT LTS selections.
Indicator lighting is reduced to a prefixed level with no further adjustment pos-
sible.
When selected to NVG all cockpit displays and control panel bezel lighting
and indicating systems function as for the NIGHT setting although amber and
green indicators brightness will reduce further. The STORM lights, if lit, and
the external STROBE lights will automatically be switched OFF.

Note
In NVG mode the Fasten Seat Belt signs, if lit, will automatically
switch OFF.
Additionally a cockpit cabin device is installed to prevent inadvertent entry of
non NVG compatible light from the cabin, (See 189G3360A001 AW189 NVG
COMPATIBILITY REFERENCE HANDBOOK).

External Lighting
The NVIS friendly external lighting consists of:

— Two normal light NVIS friendly anti-collision lights (one on the top of the
tail and one underside).

— Three normal light NVIS friendly position lights

— Two steerable landing lights with selectable normal light (white) and IR
light options. Selection of WHITE IR is via the ECDU LIGHTS page, see
Figure S14-2 .

189G0290X002 with Deployable ELT

GENERAL INFORMATION
The Crash Position Indicator (CPI) system is a primary radio location aid to
alert Search and Rescue and assist location in the event of an aircraft distress
condition.
The Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT), mounted on the left hand side of
the tail cone, consists of a locator beacon containing the transmitter and
antenna. The beacon, which can be manually or automatically activated, is
deployed from the aircraft in the event of a crash situation, providing full emer-
gency frequency operation at 121.5 MHz and 406.025 MHz.
The CPI system also comprises of a Beacon Release Unit, System Interface
Unit, Cockpit Control Panel (mounted in the interseat console, Figure S15-1 ),
water activated switch and an Aircraft Identification Device.
The ELT automatically activates during a crash or aircraft ditching and trans-
mits the standard swept tone on 121.5 MHz until the battery power is
exhausted, which will typically be 48hrs.
The 406.025 MHz transmitter sends an encoded digital message of aircraft
position, as received from the GPS/FMS aircraft system via ARINC, and will
operate for 24hrs.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The Goodrich Double External Hoist P/N 8G2591F00311 consists of two iden-
tical hoist units installed side-by-side on a common boom on the right side of
the cabin (Figure S16-1 and Figure S16-2). The hoist units are assigned
HOIST 1 for the inboard hoist and HOIST 2 for the outboard hoist. Each hoist
unit has its own dedicated operating pendant but only one hoist can be oper-
ated at a time.
The installation consists of:

— two AC electric hoist motor and winch assemblies mounted side-by-side

— an electronic control system that allows the pilot to operate the hoists from
the collective grip (See Figure S16-5)

— a HO control panel used to select power with the ‘PULL TO SEL’ rotary
switch to the hoist unit, by the HO, and a guarded cable cut switch.

— 2 electronic remote pendants NVG compatible (See Figure S16-6), one


for each hoist unit, that allows the HO to operate the hoist, as selected on
the HO control panel, and display the cable payout. If only one pendant is
installed, to use the alternative hoist the pendant can be unplugged and
connected to the alternative hoist plug.

— a HO-ICS control panel (See Figure S16-4) to allow communication


among crew-members

— a HO safety harness

Supplement 16 AW189 - RFM
Double External Hoist Document N°
Operations (Goodrich) 189G0290X002

— an electrical cable cutter (PQRS), on each hoist unit, and a manual cable
cutter (BQRS) for emergency use

— Two HO SEARCHLIGHTS installations mounted under the aircraft. Each


searchlight has its own dedicated control panel mounted in the cabin with
a 5 way switch to operate the searchlight.
— 3 roof mounted attachment points (2 forward and one aft) for HO harness
and rope handrail.

— a step bar protection on the lower right side of the fuselage.


Each hoist unit contains 290 ft (88.4 m) of usable cable and may lower/lift a
maximum load of 600 lb (272 kg).
The cable payout is shown on the 3 digit display on the pendant. A display for-
mat xxx means the cable payout is in feet while yy.y means the cable payout is
in meters. The cable payout indication is for information only and may not
reflect the exact position of the cable. The display is also used to indicate fault
codes within the hoist unit.
Cargo hoisting and lowering can be controlled by the HO through the remote
pendant thumb wheel (Figure S16-6) which provides variable cable speeds.
The cable speed for hoisting is 320 fpm (97.5 m/min) with maximum load,
which increases to 345 fpm (105.2 m/min) with a load of 300 lb (136 kg). The
pilot can also control the operation through the hoist control switch on the col-
lective grip (Figure S16-5). The operation using the collective grip control
gives a fixed cable speed of 100 fpm (32.8 m/min) during the high speed part
of the cable travel and approximately 50% of the speed for the slow speed
travel at the extremes of the cable. An alternative fixed cable speed of
200 fpm (65.6 m/min) is available using the winchman hover trim control panel
mounted on the forward right hand door frame.
The collective grip switches override the hoist pendant or winchman hover trim
control panel and the winchman trim control panel overides the hoist pendant
control.
At the cable extremes the cable speed automatically slows down and when
reaching the end of the cable the electric motor is stopped.
The Pilot and Copilot hoist control overrides the HO pendant controls.
Each hoist is provided with a cable foul protection system which automatically
stops the motor if the cable is not correctly wound onto the drum and displays
the HOIST CBL FOUL caution message on the MFD.
An electrical cable cutter system (PQRS) is available to the Pilot and Copilot,
via a guarded switch on the collective grips (Figure S16-5) and to the HO, via

189G0290X002 Operations (Goodrich)

a dedicated guarded switch (CUT) on the HO control panel mounted in the


cabin (Figure S16-3).
The APU generator supplies power to the hoists when the APU is running.
When the APU generator is not on-line then HOIST 1 (inboard) is supplied by
AC GEN 1 and HOIST 2 (outboard) by AC GEN 2.
The hoist kit also comprises a manual cable cutter (BQRS) and a right side
cabin door step protection pad to prevent damage to the hoist cable if it con-
tacts the step.
In the event of a failure of the electrical cable cutter system, the cable may be
cut with the manual cutter installed either under the HO seat, on the cockpit/
cabin bulkhead or in a position easily accessible to the HO.
Two hoist lights are installed under the helicopter, one on the right side
(HOIST LT PNL) and one on the left (SEC HOIST LT PNL). Each light is inde-
pendant of the other and two control panels are mounted in the cabin, one for
each lamp, see Figure S16-7. Each panel had as three position OFF/ON/
STOW switch, a 4 way directional control switch Retract/Extend/Left/Right and
an ON indication light. When selected to ON the lamp system is illuminated,
the ON indicator illuminates, but remains stowed. The 4 way directional switch
can then be used to extend and direct the light as required. Switching the lamp
to OFF turns the lamp off but leaves it in its last selected position. At any time
the STOW position is selected the lamp is switched OFF and stows. Each light
is dual mode (white/IR) which is controlled by the ECDU light selection in the
cockpit.
The HO audio panel, Figure S16-4, is used to control the HO communication
with other crew members. The HO plugs his headset into the HEADSET
socket. Then the HO can use either VOX or the PTT trigger, first detent, on the
back of the Pendant to speak on the aircraft intercom. The HO can also trans-
mit on COM3 or COM4 using the Pendant HO PTT trigger, second detent.
The pendant also includes a Winchman Trim Mode (WTR) caption and a five
position switch to give the HO limited lateral and longitudinal groundspeed
control when in HOV Mode and selected by the pilot. See Supplement 24 Auto
Search Modes for details.

CAUTION
Prolonged operation of hoist with amber TEMP indication on
hoist pendant display will result in hoist failure.

Note
When the hoist TEMP light is on, the hoist is automatically
slowed in operation
If the hoist over temperature indicator is flashing amber TEMP then an AC or
DC power supply fault is indicated and the hoist will not function.

AC GENERATOR FAILURES
See Section 3 Basic RFM for aircraft procedures.
Hoist 1 is supplied by the AC BUS 1 and HOIST 2 by AC BUS 2 when the
APU is OFF. When the APU is running HOIST 1 or HOIST 2 are supplied by
the APU generator.
In the case of an AC generator/engine failure of the supply side for the hoist in
use the hoist will stop functioning (CABLE message illuminates on pendant).
To return operation to the HOIST the APU must be started and after approxi-
mately 60 seconds from APU start request the selected HOIST will return
functioning.
There is no time delay for continuation of hoist operations if the APU is started
prior to hoist operations.
If the APU Generator/APU fails during hoist operations approximately 5 sec-
onds are required to continue hoist operations utilizing an engine generator.

The operation of the hoist will not be affected if the AC generator/engine fails
for the hoist not in use.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The Telephonics RDR-1500B+ Surveillance and Weather radar P/N
8G9370F00111 provides a multi-mode radar capability for maritime missions.
The RDR-1500B+ provides three primary modes of operation:

• Sea search and terrain mapping (SRCH)

• Weather avoidance

• Beacon detection mode (BCN)

• NAV mode (not currently available).


The information may be displayed on the MFD display.
The weather radar system comprises of a flat plate antenna and drive unit, a
receiver/transmitter unit, an interface unit and a radar controller mounted in
the interseat console.
The radar controller panel (See Figure S17-3) allows the selection of all radar
modes, radar controls and non-radar modes such as navigation overlays
modes and target marker mode. The control panel also contains a joystick for
controlling the cursor for target marker and tracker functions.
Beacon mode can interrogate X band two pulse reply (SST-181E and similar).
The radar has the capability to track 20 targets and display the selected target
information on the MFD display. The selected track can also be sent to the
FLIR system when slaved to the radar.
For full information on the use of the radar Telephonic RDR-1500B+ refer to

Document N° Star Safire
189G0290X002 380 HD FLIR

GENERAL INFORMATION
The Star Safire 380 HD FLIR systems P/N 8G9350F00211 is a remote con-
trolled day/night high resolution, infrared (IR) imaging system with colour
video.
The system consists of a stabilized Turret-FLIR Unit (TFU), mounted under
the nose of the helicopter (Figure S18-1 & Figure S18-2), a System Control
Unit which consists of a mobile Universal Hand Control Unit (UHCU) with all
the controls necessary to operate the FLIR turret and systems, and a System
Control Unit (SCU) mounted in the interseat console. (See Figure S18-3 &
Figure S18-4). A dedicated GPS antenna is mounted on the top of the tail
cone. The UHCU handgrip has a stowage at the rear of the interseat console
and is connect via a cable that allows operation of the unit from the cabin.
The TFU is gyro stabilized and its azimuth and elevation, and therefore the
FLIR Line Of Sight (LOS), corresponding to the center of the image, can be
directed to any position within the Field Of Regard (FOR) which is 30° to -120°
in elevation and 360° in azimuth from the forward position.
The FLIR Imager incorporates all the necessary optics, detectors and required
electronics to convert the infrared radiation from the medium wave infrared
thermal imaging sensor into digital system and incorporates a Short Wave
Infra Red camera (SWIR) system, Infra Red camera (SWIR) system, a High
Definition Elecrto-Optical Camera (HDEO), a Hight Definition Infrared (HDIR)
and a Day/Low Light/Near IR Colour Camera (HDLL). Another optional equip-
ment installed within the FLIR is the Class 1 Eye Safe Laser Range Finder
(ESLRF).
When laser operations are authorised a Laser Safety Interlock Unit (LIU) (See
Figure S18-5) is fitted in the interseat console incorporating an ARM switch
requiring a key to ARM the laser before firing. A WOW interlock ensures the
laser is not use when the aircraft is on the ground.
The IR camera has five optical Field of Views (FOV) and produces images in
total darkness or in low visibility or low contrast ambient condition. The colour
camera, provides images in visible and low light ambient conditions.
The FLIR cameras provide video outputs that can be monitored on either pilot
or copilot MFD. Either IR or Camera images can be selected independently on
pilot and copilot MFD or both images in miniature.
The FLIR can also be interfaced with a searchlight for slaving commandsand
with a radar system to receive a position-point slaving command.
Overlaid on the FLIR image are graphic symbology and status information in 3
status lines, two above the image and the third below.

AW189 - RFM Supplement 19
Document N° Trakkabeam A800
189G0290X002 Searchlight

GENERAL INFORMATION
The Trakkabeam A800 searchlight is a high intensity external light source
installed on a gimbal support on the left hand side of the helicopter. It is used
to provide high intensity external lighting for reconnaissance operations during
night time operations.
This Supplement gives instruction on the Trakkabeam A800 searchlight instal-
lation P/N 8G3340F00811, both of which include the capability to slave the
searchlight operation to a FLIR.
The installation consists of the A800 searchlight with a 800W lamp, gimbal
support (Figure S19-1), a Power Conditioning Interface Unit (PCIU), a Cockpit
Controller (Figure S19-2), Pendant Grip Controller (Figure S19-3) and all nec-
essary hardware and cabling.
The searchlight unit has an integrated optical filter system which provides the
option for different light beam filter colours including infra-red depending on
customer requirements. The filters are easily selectable during flight via the
cockpit and pendant controllers.
The PCIU is the central power and control hub for the entire system, aircraft
power supply (28VDC) is converted and distributed to each item in the sys-
tem. The PCIU performs all gimbal position control, filter selection, light zoom
and lamp on/off control and provides an interface to the cockpit control unit,
hand controller and interfacing for FLIR slaving capability.
The Cockpit Controller unit includes all switches for searchlight power ON/
OFF, function selection and provides displays to indicate filter number and cur-
rent system status. The controller does not have a joystick for light direction,
however, inputs are available for light azimuth and elevation control by collec-
tive landing light 5 way switch inputs.
The Pendant Grip Controller also provides switches for searchlight power ON/
OFF, function selection and provides displays to indicate filter number and cur-
rent system status. The Pendant Controller also includes a joystick to control
the light azimuth and elevation. Selection of the Pendant Grip Controller to
operate the system is via the Cockpit controller.

Searchlight 189G0290X002

TRAKKABEAM A800 OPERATION


On the cockpit controller selecting the A800 SYS PWR switch to ON the sys-
tem performs Power-On-Self-Test (POST). This should take around 12 sec-
onds, however, if the gimbal has not been stowed previously before power
down or the searchlight hit the mechanical stops during the previous flight, it
will take 60 seconds. Upon completion of the POST, the searchlight will travel
to the STOW position and the STOW light will flash while the searchlight is
moving then steady when it is in the STOW position. The A800 will only
respond to the DEPLOY command when in the STOW position, no other but-
tons will function. Depressing the DEPLOY switch will move and point the
searchlight in a preset direction ready for turning the lamp ON. When in
DEPLOY, all of the control functions become active. To start the lamp the ARM
switch, on the cockpit controller, must be selected ON then by depressing the
Lamp ON/OFF button the lamp illuminates and extinguished by depressing
the Lamp ON/OFF switch again.
The searchlight filter may be selected prior to starting the lamp or any time
after the lamp has been ignited. The filter is changed by depress the FILTER
SEL switch until the display shows the desired position number and then
select the FILTER ENT switch to activate.
During the POST process, the filter wheel will rotate to the preset HOME posi-
tion (normally white light position).
Moving the ZOOM switch a wider beam or a narrow beam can be selected.
The searchlight is directed by either the pilot or copilot collective joystick as
selected by the PILOT/COPILOT/CREW switch on the controller. Moving the
joystick to the left or right for azimuth control and up or down for elevation con-
trol. The azimuth and elevation speed increases as the joystick is moved fur-
ther to it maximum deflection. When CREW is selected the control is handed
over to the Pendant Controller which has similar functioning buttons and a joy-
stick to control searchlight direction.
Selecting the SLAVE mode the searchlight will track the movement of the host
equipment e.g. FLIR (if installed). When operating in the SLAVE mode, the
system will still respond to all the manual controls while the joystick control is
used to adjust for parallax error and align the searchlight beam to the FLIR tar-
get if required.

189G0290X002 System

GENERAL INFORMATION
The heated windshield system (P/N 8G5610F00211) allows heating of the
windshield to clear mist/frost conditions which could impede visibility for the
flight crew. The kit consists of two independent systems, one for the pilot and
one for the copilot.
Each system comprises of a control box with in-built inverter (to convert the
aircraft 28VDC to 115VAC), a heated windshield unit with 3 temperature sen-
sors (only the center part of the screen is heated) and, incorporated in the
ECDU the ON/OFF selection. See Figure S20-1.
When selected ON the associated control box controls the heating of the
windshield and temperature sensors within the windshield for any failure con-
ditions. The windscreen heating is automatically switched OFF if any tempera-
ture sensor reaches 82° C. The state of the system is indicated to the pilot on
the CAS window from signals sent by the controller to the AMMC.

HOVER CEILING
The Hover Ceiling charts define the maximum weights at which an IGE hover
(at 7 ft(2.1 m) wheel height) or an OGE hover is possible for varying
combinations of Pressure Altitude and OAT. The charts presented are for the
weight extension up to 8600kg are:

a) IGE with zero wind conditions

b) IGE with wind controllability can be found in Section 1 of this


Supplement.

c) OGE with Unfactored Headwind Benefit


The Unfactored Headwind Benefit charts display the full performance
increase resulting from the actual headwind component.

d) OGE with wind controllability can be found in the Low Speed


Manoeuvres part of this Section.

Note
Unless otherwise authorised by operating regulations, the pilot
is not authorised to credit more than 50 percent of the
perfomance increase resulting from the actual headwind
component.
Information is presented for All Engines Operating (AEO) at 5 minutes power,
30 minutes power rating and MCP.
OEI information is not presented as these conditions are not possible for oper-
ation above 8300 kg.
See Figure S21-38 to Figure S21-53.

Document N° Weight Extension
189G0290X002 8600 kg

RATE OF CLIMB
The climb performance shown is based on flight test results and covers the
weight extension to 8600 kg. Rate of Climb performance is given for All
Engines Operating (AEO) conditions and for One Engine Inoperative (OEI)
conditions with the datum speed for all rate of climb graphs at 80 KIAS.
The AEO conditions consider rate of climb available with the engines
operating at the 5 minute Power Rating limit and at the 30 minute Power
Rating limit with Anti Icing OFF and ON and Heater ON and OFF.
The OEI conditions consider rate of climb available with the engines operating
at the 2.5 min rating limit and Maximum Continuous Power (MCP) Rating
limits with the Anti Ice OFF and ON and Heater ON and OFF.

Note
Care should be taken, when using and interpolating between
the OAT curves, that the correct curves are being used.

tion with a modified fuel system, see Figure S22-2. The modified lower section
incorporates three under floor fuel cells which are in addition to the to 2 main
fuel tanks (left hand and right hand). The three additional tanks are connected
together by a connecting tube allowing fuel to flow between the three tanks
and connected to the main tanks so refueling is carried out for all the tanks
from one gravity or pressure refueling point.
Fuel from the three underfloor tanks is transferred into the 2 main tanks by six
ejector pumps (three for each side). These ejector pumps are powered by the
main cells boost pumps assembly which contains two pumps per assembly.
Three ejectors for the right hand main cell and three for the left hand main cell.
The Fuel Gauging System automatically compensates for the additional fuel
quantity using additional dedicated fuel probes in the lower fuselage cells.
Power Plant Synoptic page fuel indication messages that may illuminate for
the Extended Range configuration are shown in Figure S22-1.
The aircraft installed with this configuration are identified by S/N 89### or
S/N 92###.

SECTION 2 - NORMAL PROCEDURES


Note
When the aircraft is in hovering flight a difference between the
No 1 and No 2 fuel contents can be expected. This is related to
roll angle. At approximately 3° of bank a diffference of up
to 100 kg and at 10° of bank a difference of up to 300 kg may be
observed. The total fuel level is always correct and the unbal-
ance will correct as soon as the aircraft returns to level flight.

APPROACH AND LANDING

CAUTION
Following a landing on any unprepared surface, at temper-
atures less than -15°C, it is possible that damage may occur to
the helicopter lower fairing. A thorough inspection for damage
to the lower part of the aircraft must be carried out before the
next flight. In case of damage refer to the Maintenance Manual.

Note
Taxiing on unprepared surfaces are allowed only on sur-
faces without significant undulation that could decrease ground
clearance.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The Cabin Bubble Window kit modification P/N 8G5620F00111 installs a bub-
ble window on the left hand and right hand side replacing the cabin forward
windows.
The bubble window allows increased field of view for crew members.
See Figure S23-1.
The two bubble windows have an emergency handle that allows the window to
be removed either from internally or externally in an emergency situation. The
external lever also has a grip mounted on the window to assist in pulling the
window away from the structure. See Figure S23-2 and Figure S23-3.

WIND INDICATION SYMBOLOGY


The wind symbology on both PFDs changes in accordance with the FMS state
of calculation and/or frozen condition when the aircraft is out of Straight &
Level condition for more than 2 minutes.
The aircraft remains in Straight & Level condition if the Roll Angle < 6° and
Pitch Angle < 30° and Yaw Rate < 1.5°/sec otherwise the aircraft exits from
Straight & Level condition; if the aircraft remains in this condition for more than
2 minutes the wind state changes to ‘frozen’ state.
Wind symbols representation is shown in the following table:

Wind data not received due to AMMC in ‘OFF’ state

WIND AUTO
Wind data invalid due to TAS or GS invalid or, since
AMMC power-on, TAS is always below 40 KIAS.

WIND AUTO
Wind data valid (TAS valid > 40 KIAS, a/c in
Straight&Level, computed wind magnitude > 5 kts)

WIND AUTO
Wind data frozen for more than 2 minutes due to out
of Straight&Level condition or TAS < 40 KIAS

WIND AUTO
Wind magnitude computed by FMS is below 5 kts

WIND MANUAL
Wind is set in MANUAL (not accepted below 5 kts).

Note
The wind indicator on both PFDs is in MAG or TRUE heading in
accordance with the MAG/TRUE selection switch in MCDU –
FMS SETTINGS page.

MARK ON TARGET (MOT)


The Mark On Target (MOT) manoeuver consists of a waypoint marking of sur-
face position in Latitude and Longitude after the overfly of the interested posi-
tion then returning back to that position with aircraft in hover above the surface
150 feet downwind and 150 feet to the left of marked position at an altitude of
50 feet AGL (Rad Alt). The MOT maneuver is used, for example, during a
search and rescue flight when the crew notes a target and wants to fly back to
the hover with the target in view.

ICN-89-A-155000-G-00001-04190-A-001-01

Figure S24-2 Mark On Target (MOT)

The MOT manoeuver consists of one of two turns necessary to fly a downwind
leg, then an into wind turn into the direction for final approach into wind which
terminates at zero groundspeed downwind of the target. In order to perform
the correct descent and deceleration to hover 45.72m (150 feet) downwind
and 45.72m (150 feet) to the left of the marked position at 50 feet Rad Alt
height the FMS adds a key waypoint known as Final Hover Approach Fix
(FHAF); the FMS locates the FHAF waypoint approximateky 0.63 NM (3820
feet) downwind of the target in the into wind direction.

EASA Approved FOR TRAINING ONLY Issue 1 Page S24-5


Supplement 24 AW189 - RFM
Automatic Search Document N°
Modes 189G0290X002

The FMS builds the MOT manoeuver through two basic phases of the MOT
flight plan:

— the approach to FHAF (Final Hover Approach Fix) waypoint

— the approach to HOVER (HOV wpt).


Approach to FHAF : the FMS guides the helicopter for a turn around,
preferably to the right (pilot side for improved viewing of the target by the
pilot), manoeuvering so that the aircraft is heading downwind with respect
to the target to the FHAF to prepare for the upwind descent/deceleration
flight down to hovering.
Approach to Hover : the FMS provides the AFCS the information neces-
sary for guidance to the hover waypoint (HOV): lateral XTE (GPS based)
and Distance to HOV (GPS based).

Note
The FMS inhibits the MOT activation during the departure (SID)
procedure, arrival (STAR) procedure, approach (APPR or
TRANS green on CDS), holding, offset and missed approach
procedure.

Note
If the MOT is activated and the navigation source is not FMS
the CDS automatically switches to FMS as navigation source,
arms and engages the NPATH mode.

Note
The MOT will engaged if the RAD ALT is valid, the a/c height is
below 2000 ft and the IAS is valid and greater or equal to 50
KIAS.
During the FMS descent to FHAF the VS commands are limited to a maximum
of -1500 fpm with no command for a climb maneuver. As a function of current
height above the target the FMS selects two types of descent profile 3 degree
or 4 degree; if the MOT is initiated below the 3 degree descent path the a/c will
maintain the current altitude (NRHT mode) until intercepting the 3 degree path
down to HOV waypoint.

SEARCH OPERATIONS

— Satisfactory operation of the Search modes has been demonstrated up


to 40 kts wind speed (25 kts tail wind) and Sea State 5 (wave heights
up to 3 m (10 ft)).

MODE DESCRIPTIONS

GA/TU
1. Go Around Mode. The mode may be selected from either collective GA
pushbutton and will give a Go Around automatic ascent when the
conditions for a GA are met i.e.

• airspeed from 40 KIAS to Vne and altitude above 2000 ft

• airspeed between 40 KIAS and 80 KIAS with GS greater than 30 kts


and height between 0 and 2000ft and non of the following modes
engaged: TD, TDH, NPATH or

• airspeed between 80 KIAS and VNE and height between 0 and 2000ft
and non of the following modes engaged: TD, TDH, NPATH.
When engaged the A/C will be controlled to about 1000 feet/min climb at
minimum power airspeed (Vy). Vertical speed and airspeed references
cannot be modified. When GA is requested during an approach and a
missed approach flight plan is provided by an independent Flight
Management System, NAV mode is engaged simultaneously on the roll
axis. Otherwise HDG mode is engaged simultaneously. GA mode
operates on Collective Axis to control Vertical Speed and on Pitch axis to
control airspeed. If a missed approach flight plan is provided, Roll axis is
under control of NAV mode and Yaw axis provides turn coordination.
Otherwise Roll and Yaw axes are under control of HDG mode. GA
disengages automatically when both 200 feet radar-height and 700 feet/
min are achieved, then VS and IAS modes engage
2. Transition Up Mode. The mode may be selected from either collective GA
pushbutton and will give Transition Up, when the conditions for a TU are
met i.e.

• airspeed less than 40 KIAS or

• airspeed between 40 KIAS and 80 KIAS with GS less than 30 kts or

• airspeed between 40 KIAS and 80 KIAS with GS greater than 30 kts


with one of the following modes engaged TD, TDH NPATH or

• airspeed from 80 KIAS to Vne


The TU initiates a climb up to the set bug reference height of 200 ft AGL
on the Rad Alt and the set bug airspeed of 80 KIAS. Engaging the TU the
FD will zero lateral or negative groundspeed and initiate an acceleration
to 80 KIAS the HDG will engage and a climb maintained until reaching the
reference value 200 ft when the RHT is automatically engaged. The
aircraft continues to accelerates to the airspeed reference of 80 KIAS and
the IAS mode is engaged. The reference height can be modified by the
collective beep switch and the airspeed by the cyclic beep switch. The TU
Mode can be exited by selecting another upper mode or selecting the
collective/cyclic FTR buttons.

Note
Under 20 kts groundspeed to disengage TU mode the collecitve
and cyclic FTR buttons must be pressed simultaneously.

TD/H
1. Transition Down Mode. This mode, when selected and the conditions for
TD are met (height between 150 ft and 2000 ft, airspeed greater than
40 KIAS), transitions the aircraft from the current flight condition down to
200 ft AGL and 80 KIAS level flight. Pressing the TD/H button the FD will
initiate a descent and deceleration to achieve airspeed reference of
80 KIAS and a height reference of 200 ft AGL. When reaching the
reference speed and height the IAS and RHT modes automatically
engage. Pressing the collective FTR button prior to 200 ft will engage
RHT mode at the actual height the button is pushed. Pressing the cyclic
FTR button prior to 80 KIAS will engage IAS at the actual airspeed the
button is pushed. The TD Mode can be exited by pressing the TD/H
pushbutton or by selecting another upper mode mode.
2. Transition Down to Hover Mode. This mode, when selected and the
conditions for TDH are met (height between 30 ft and 210 ft, airspeed
below 85 KIAS), transitions the aircraft from the current flight condition
down to 50 ft AGL (or retains the current height if lower), and hover with
0 kts groundspeed. Pressing the TD/H button will initiate a descent and
deceleration to achieve the final hover conditions. When reaching the
reference height and groundspeed the RHT and HOV modes
automatically engage. Pressing the collective FTR button prior to 50 ft will
engage RHT mode at the actual height the button is pushed. Pressing the
cyclic FTR button in cruise conditions will engage IAS at the actual

airspeed the button is pushed. Pressing the cyclic FTR button in hover
conditions will engage HOV at the actual groundspeed the button is
pushed.
The TD/H Mode can only be exited by pressing the TD/H pushbutton or
selecting another FD mode.

MOT
Mark On Target Mode. This mode, when selected, marks the current
position as a waypoint then manoeuvres the aircraft with a downwind leg,
then an up wind turn to establish hover at 0 kts groundspeed, 50 ft (15 m)
AGL in a position 150 ft (46 m) to the left and 150 ft (46 m) downwind of
the marked waypoint.
The MOT sequence is divided in three basic phases:

— MOT TD-Phase - During this initial phase immediately following MOT


engagement, the mode follows FMS commands for the turn around
manoeuvre so that the aircraft will be headed into the wind at the FHAF
(Final Hover Approach Fix). The FHAF is located approximately 0.63
nautical miles downwind from the target at a height of 250ft AGL. If at
MOT engagement the A/C is at or above the straight vertical virtual
path produced by the FMS, AFCS controls the A/C acquiring and hold-
ing this path (NPATH displayed on the collective field). If, at MOT
engagement, the A/C is below the vertical path, NRHT engages on col-
lective axis (NRHT displayed on the collective field) and the AFCS con-
trols height for level flight until approaching vertical path, then NPATH
engages. During this phase AFCS controls A/C along a lateral virtual
path produced by the FMS (NPATH displayed on lateral field) and air-
speed target requested by FMS (NIAS displayed on longitudinal field).
The roll steering command is limited to a maximum bank angle of 25
degrees and the vertical speed command is limited to -1500 FPM (no
climb commands are provided). The maximum descent path angle pro-
vided by the FMS is 4.0 degrees.

— MOT TDH-Phase – During this phase, the mode follows FMS guidance
to generate commands for an automatic descent to the hover waypoint
(HOV) at a preset radar height (default is 50 ft AGL), The hover way-
point is located approximately 150 feet downwind and 150 feet to the
left of the MOT waypoint to facilitate a visual approach to the target
location. If entering in this phase the A/C is on the straight vertical vir-
tual path produced by the FMS, AFCS controls A/C along this path
(NPATH displayed on the collective field). If entering in this phase the
A/C is below the vertical path, NRHT engages on collective axis

Modes 189G0290X002

(NRHT displayed on the collective field) and AFCS control height for
level flight until approaching vertical path, then NPATH engages. Dur-
ing this phase AFCS control A/C along a lateral virtual path produced
by the FMS (NPATH displayed on lateral field) and uses the FMS dis-
tance to the HOV waypoint to compute the ground speed profile to the
HOV waypoint (NDCL displayed on longitudinal field) up to a maximum
deceleration of 0.7 knots/sec.

— Final Target Approach - During this phase, the pilot flies the aircraft
(e.g.: HOV beep switch inputs) from the HOV waypoint to the target
location at or near the MOT waypoint. During this phase the annuncia-
tion displayed on PFD are RHT on collective field and HOV on longitu-
dinal and lateral fields
At any time while MOT mode is engaged and prior to reaching the final
hover height, it is possible to modify the final height reference by pressing
the collective beep switch forward to decrease the final height reference
or aftward to increase the final height reference. The final height reference
is limited to the range from 50 feet to 150 feet AGL.
During the MOT TD-Phase, pressing the collective FTR switch while in
MOT mode causes the RHT mode to engage at the current radar altitude.
During the MOT TD-Phase, pressing the cyclic FTR switch while in MOT
mode causes the RHT and IAS modes to engage synchronizing the
references at the current radar altitude and airspeed respectively.
During the MOT TDH-Phase, pressing the collective FTR switch while in
MOT mode causes the RHT mode to engage at the current radar altitude.
During the MOT TDH-Phase, pressing the cyclic FTR switch while in MOT
mode causes the HOV modes to engage synchronizing the HOV ground
speed references to the current ground velocities.
When reaching the reference height and groundspeed the RHT and HOV
modes automatically engage. The MOT Mode can only be exited by
pushing the MOT pushbutton or selecting another Search AFCS mode.

WTR
Winchman Trim Mode. This mode, (available in HOV Mode only) when
selected by the pilot, displays a WTR message on the PFD and permits
the Hoist Operator (HO) to control the aircraft hover lateral and
longitudinal groundspeed using the cabin controller (mounted under the
HO window) or hoist pendant five position switch. Groundspeeds up to a
maximum of 10 kts, from the value established by the pilot in HOV mode,
can be controlled by the HO. The five position switch allows the HO to
control the aircraft fore - aft and lateral groundspeed. When the switch is

moved towards the FWD label the aircraft moves forward, when moved
towards L the aircraft translates laterally to the left and conversely R for
translation right and AFT for rearward motion. Pushing the centre position
of the five position switch the HO can reset his groundspeed corrections.
Pilot input will over-ride HO input at any time. The WTR Mode can be
exited by pressing the WTR pushbutton, or disengaging HOV mode.

Note
When WTR mode is engaged and the pilot wants to temporarily
modify the ground speed by cyclic inputs against the force feel
this should be carried out using a series of small inputs and
after each input the cyclic should return into the detent position
within 3 seconds to avoid a MISTRIM condition.

FMS SEARCH PATTERNS


The following search patterns are available:

— Expanding Square

— Sector

— Creeping Line

— Parallel.
For a full description of Search mode search pattern operation refer to opera-
tors Manual.

Search Patterns General

— When the Search pattern defined by the pilots is activated and coupled
with the AFCS the NAV system steers the desired search pattern
allowing the pilot to carry out surveillance activities.

— Search Pattern selection and activation are performed on the MCDU


starting from the PATTERN page, that can be accessed from FMS
page. When the search pattern is selected, the FMS requires the
search pattern to be inserted on a valid waypoint of the active flight
plan as point defined on the MFD/PFD MAP page as SPST (Search
Pattern STart).
The search pattern is calculated from the default parameters which can
be modified and/or from input parameters through the MCDU SAR
page.
Once activated the search pattern waypoints are also entered in the
Active Flight Plan displayed on the MCDU as “SPxx” where xx=02, 03,
…,99 are the SAR pattern numbers (on the PFD/MFD the points are
identified by a number only).

— When flying a Search Pattern, the Search Pattern parameters can be


modified on the appropriate search pattern page. Any parameter modi-
fied will take effect from the end of the current leg.

— A search pattern can be suspended at anytime by pressing SUSPEND


command on the active FPL page. The Search Pattern may be
resumed by pressing RESUME or STEER SPxx commands, on the
active FL page, which will continue the Search Pattern after the aircraft
has returned to the previously suspended point or the aircraft has
steered to the next SPxx waypoint. At SUSPEND the AFCS changes to
from NAV to HDG, at RESUME, NAV mode must be re-selected on the
AFCS control panel.

Page S24-16 Issue 1 FOR TRAINING ONLY EASA Approved

189G0290X002 Modes

During the SAR pattern the SUSPEND function is allowed only if the
XTE (Cross-Track Error) is below 0.1 NM.

When flying a Search Pattern, if MOT is pressed the Search Pattern is


suspended with a <<DISCONTINUITY>> after the MOT waypoint. At
the end of MOT manoeuvre it may be resumed by coupling the NAV on
the TO-FROM SAR leg.

Note
CHECK SAR SPEED will appear on MCDU alert page, with
MSG annunciation on both PFDs, any time current IAS is more
than 10 KIAS with respect to the SAR IAS selected within the
SAR Pattern Page.

Note
CHECK WIND SPEED will appear on MCDU alert page, with
MSG annunciation on both PFDs, at any time from the comple-
tion of SAR entry maneuver when the current wind magnitude
calculated by FMS is more than 10 KIAS with respect to the
SAR WIND selected within the SAR Pattern Page.

Note
BANK > 20 amber message will appear on MCDU SAR Pattern
Page if the maximum roll steering, as computed by FMS, nec-
essary to correctly fly the SAR pattern “on-path” is above the
safety threshold of 20 degree for: night/poor visibility or sever
meteorological SAR condition.

Note
“X LEGS NOT FEASIBLE” where X=2, …, 10 or “NOT FEASI-
BLE” message will appear on MCDU SAR Pattern Page if the
first X legs of SAR pattern are not feasible or the whole SAR
pattern is not feasible. These messages advise the pilots that
the first legs or the whole SAR pattern will be flown with poor
accuracy.

Expanding Square Search


The expanding square patterns are used to search a small area when some
doubt exists about the distress position. They provide more uniform coverage
than a sector search and may be expanded. Square searches are referred to
as expanding square searches beginning at the datum and expanding out-
ward. If the datum is a line instead of a point, the pattern may be changed to
an expanding rectangle.

Note
Using the expanding square definition parameters the FMS
computes the feasibility of search pattern with the IAS/GSPD,
wind, leg space/length and Max Bank defined by the pilot. In
case X legs are NOT feasible the FMS displays the "X LEG
NOT FEASABLE" message on MCDU where X is the first legs

This message is an advisory message only. If the pilot confirms
the pattern through the CONFIRM button the pattern is
accepted and executed but without any accuracy guarantee for

Multi Sector Search


Sector Patterns are used when the position of distress is reliably known or the
area searched is not extensive, and a concentration of effort is desired on the
datum. The pattern resembles the spokes of a wheel and it is used to cover a
circular search area. Generally, aircraft sector search areas do not have a
radius greater than 20 to 30 miles, while marine craft use a maximum radius of
5 miles.
Each leg is separated by an angle, based on the maximum track spacing and
search radius, and connected by a cross leg equal to the maximum track
spacing.

For “run-time” changes of sector geometry all parameters can be changed
because the aircraft overflys the start of pattern on every pass and when the
geometry is changed the sector is re-designed in accordance with the new
parameters.

Note
Using the Multi-Sector definition parameters the FMS computes
the feasibility of search pattern with the IAS/GS, wind, leg
space/length and Max Bank defined by the pilot. In case the
legs of sectors are NOT feasible in terms of performance of
coverage the FMS displays the "NOT FEASABLE" message on

Creeping Line Search


The creeping line patterns are specialized type of parallel patterns where the
direction of creep is along the major axis of search area, unlike the usual par-
allel pattern.
The creeping line single unit co-ordinate pattern is used when either vessel or
boats are available. The aircraft track is planned so that the advance of suc-
cessive legs of the search pattern equals that of the marine craft, and the air-
craft pass over the vessel on each leg. This results in a more accurate search
pattern, and enables the quick rescue by the marine craft once survivors are
located.

SINGLE ENGINE FAILURE IN HOVER OGE FLYAWAY PROCEDURE

Note
The flyaway procedures and performance charts are copied
from the Basic RFM and Supplement 21.
The hover flyaway height loss defined in Figures and Tables, Figure S24-16 to
Figure S24-31 in Section 4 of this Supplement assume the following flyaway
procedure is followed:

1. Collective/Cyclic control — Rotate nose down to an attitude


of -12°. Adjust collective to droop
the NR to a minimum of 90% NR
to accelerate to 20 kts ground-
speed.

2. Acceleration — On achieving 20 kts raise nose


to an attitude of 5° nose up and
accelerate to V FASS (50 KIAS).
Recover NR to 102% using up
to 2.5 min power range as
required.

3. At VFASS — When the aircraft has achieved


VFASS (50 KIAS) continue climb
accelerating to Vy.

Note
The height loss indicated on chart Figure S24-16 to Figure S24-
31, for ambient condition and aircraft weight, guarantees that
VFASS (50 KIAS) will be achieved and a subsequent minimum
Rate Of Climb of 150 fpm at Vy is assured.

SINGLE ENGINE FAILURE IN HOVER OGE FLYAWAY


The height loss during a single engine failure flyaway for combinations of
weight, altitude, temperature and airspeed indication is shown in the Charts
and Tables Figure S24-16 to Figure S24-26 for weights up to 8300 kg and
Figure S24-27 to Figure S24-31 for weight between 8300 kg and 8600 kg.

Note
For IAS indication below 20 KIAS a value of 0 KIAS must be
used in the charts/tables.
The charts/tables do not include any clearance height. If the hover height is
greater than the height loss indicated by the chart then a flyaway capability
exists and the Flyaway Procedure should be followed. It is the Pilots responsi-
bility to add any appropriate clearance height.
The Flyaway procedure can be found in Section 3. See “Single Engine Failure
in Hover OGE Flyaway Procedure” on page S24-28.

CAUTION
If the helicopter weight, at the time of engine failure, is less or
equal to the Hover OGE 2.5min OEI weight an engine failure in
the hover will result in no height loss provided that the pilot does
not intervene on the flight controls. VY must be achieved within
2.5 minutes.
In this case a vertical landing may also be accomplished within
2.5 minutes.

Note
The height loss indicated on charts, for ambient condition and
aircraft weight, guarantees that VFASS (50 KIAS) will be
achieved and a subsequent minimum Rate Of Climb of 150 fpm
at Vy is assured.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The HF Radio System P/N 8G2310F00311 or P/N 8G2310F00611 is the
Rockwell Collins HF-9000 and it is a versatile, solid-state, HF radio communi-
cations systems. The HF-9000 provides Radio communication features in the
HF (High Frequency) band, which covers the 2.0 MHz to 29.9999 MHz fre-
quency range with LSB-AM and USB modulation.
The HF Radio System consists of four units:

• Antenna Coupler (HF-9040)

• Receiver-transmitter (HF-9031A)
• Antenna Array (mounted on the tail cone).
The system is supplied by 28VDC and its operation is performed by means of
the MCDU displays mounted in the interseat console. See Figure S25-1 to
Figure S25-6 for examples of the MCDU pages.
The HF audio level is controlled though the appropriate ICS Audio panel.
When the Cabin PC is installed, the HF radio can also used through a dedi-
cated Virtual control Panel interface. Modifications performed on the Cabin PC
are automatically updated to the MCDU and viceversa.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The Cabin Extension modifications allow access to the baggage bay from the
cabin. Two configurations are available:

P/N 8G2550F00411
This modification removes the cabin to baggage bay barrier and the 4th Row 2
central passenger seats.
The crew can pass through the space between the fuel tanks to access equip-
ment in the baggage bay.

P/N 8G2520F01511
This kit consists of an installation of 4th row foldable seats P/N
8G2520F01511 and the removal of the cabin to baggage bay barrier. The 4th
row, 2 central, passenger seat installation pemits the back rests to be un-
latched and folded forwards. This allows access to the baggage bay via the
corridor between the fuel tanks. The back rest, once folded forward, may be
used as a step to access the corridor. See Figure S26-1
The complete installation consists of a back rest support beam, mounted in
the space between the fuel tanks. This beam contains the inertia reel seat belt
fittings and seat locking latch. The back rests of the two central seats are nor-
mally locked against this beam with the seat belts fed through the gap below
the head rest. The is the normal position for the seats.
If access to the baggage bay is required the two middle seats can be un-
latched from the beam by rotating the locking knobs mounted on each seat
back, see Figure S26-2, and the back rest folded forward by removing the
headrests allowing the seat belt shoulder harnesses to return to the fully
reeled in position in the inertia reel unit. The seat backs can be folded fully for-
ward to rest on the seat cushion. The support beam can then be un-locked on
the right hand side, using the quick-pin, and the beam folded rearwards
against the fuel tank to open the space between the fuel tanks. Using the
folded back rest as a step the crew can pass through the space between the
tanks to access equipment in the baggage bay. No equipment may be put in
the space between the fuel tanks.
To close the seat back the support beam must be re-positioned and locked in
place using the quick-pin. The seat back can then be moved to the upright
position, feeding the seat belts into the top recess of the seat and replacing
the headrest, and then the seat backs locked in position using the latches on
the support beam and seat back.

SECTION 6
WEIGHT AND BALANCE
Note
In accordance with EASA procedures, the detail weight and bal-
ance data of this section are not subject to EASA approval.
The loading instructions of this section, however, have been
accepted by EASA as satisfying all requirements for instructions
on loading of the rotorcraft within approved limits of weight and
center of gravity, and on maintaining the loading within such lim-
its.

GENERAL
This section provides information for the weight and balance computation of
the AW189 helicopter.
It is the pilot’s responsibility to ensure that the helicopter is properly loaded to
maintain for the duration of the entire flight the Center of Gravity (CG) within
the limitations defined in Section 1 - Limitations.
Figure, charts and examples are provided to assist the pilot in computing the
proper loading conditions.

DEFINITIONS
Datum Lines All measurements required to calculate weight and
balance are made with respect to datum lines estab-
lished by the manufacturer. Two datum lines are uti-
lized, a longitudinal datum line and a lateral datum
line.
Longitudinal Datum Line The longitudinal datum line (Station 0) is located
2830 mm forward of the front jackpoint. On the
extended Range Configuration (Supplement 22) the
longitudinal datum line (Station 0) is located 3009,2
mm forward of the front jackpoint.
Lateral Datum Line The lateral datum line (butt line 0) is the line extend-
ing down the centerline of the helicopter (helicopter
viewed from the top) measurements made to the
starboard side of the helicopter are positive num-
bers.
Measurements made to the port side of the helicop-
ter are negative.
Arm Arm is the term used for the measured value, in mm,
from a datum line to a particular item of interest.
Moment Moment is the product of the weight of an item multi-
plied by its arm. Moments are expressed in units of
kg mm.
Longitudinal Center The longitudinal position of the mass balance point
of Gravity of the helicopter, expressed as an arm measured
from the longitudinal datum line.
Lateral Center of The lateral position of the mass balance point of the
Gravity helicopter, expressed as an arm measured from the
lateral datum line.
Optional Equipment Optional equipment is that equipment which is
installed to configure the helicopter for a particular
configuration.
Basic Weight The Basic Weight is the aircraft weight with its nor-
mal airborne equipments, including engine oil,
trapped oil and fluids and unusable fuel, without mis-
sion equipments.
Empty Weight (equipped) Weight of aircraft complete with all systems as con-
figured in accordance with the model detail specifi-
cation. The helicopter is prepared for service.

Operating Weight The Operating Weight consists of the equipped


empty weight plus crew weight.
Dry Weight The Dry Weight consists of the Operating Weight
plus Payload (passengers, baggage/cargo).
Gross Weight The Gross Weight consists of the Dry Weight plus
take-off or landing fuel.
Maximum Gross Weight The Maximum Gross Weight is determined by per-
or Maximum Take Off formance considerations and must be calculated
Weight considering expected mission variables (see Chart
E - Weight & Balance Computation Form).

REFERENCE LINES
The Figure 6-1 thru Figure 6-5 show the primary reference lines for the aircraft
to aid in weight and balance computations.

WEIGHT AND BALANCE DETERMINATION


Instructions for weight and balance determination are herewith enclosed with
instructions for use of charts to enable the operator to obtain all necessary
data as to basic helicopter configuration, empty weight and center of gravity.
These charts will also provide for continuous control of weight and balance of
the helicopter.
This system of weight and balance computation requires the use of charts and
forms. They are identified as follows:
Chart A - Equipment List.
Chart B - Helicopter Weighing Record.
Chart C - Basic Weight and Balance Record.
Chart D - Data for Helicopter Weight and Balance Computations.
Chart E - Weight and Balance Computation.

WEIGHT AND BALANCE RESPONSIBILITY


The aircraft manufacturer inserts all helicopter identifying data on the various
charts. This record constitutes the basic weight and balance data of the heli-
copter, to which the Rotorcraft Flight Manual was assigned, for the condition
shown on chart A. The operator shall keep this data up-to-date by recording all
changes made to the configuration of the helicopter.

HELICOPTER WEIGHING
The helicopter must be weighed:
1. When major modifications or repairs are made, or kits are installed/
removed.
2. When the basic weight data is suspected to be an error.
3. At time of mayor overhaul.
4. In accordance with E.A.S.A. instructions.

USE OF CHARTS AND FORMS

USE OF CHART A
The Chart A gives the weight, arm and moment of all the standard and
optional equipment. The Manufacturer places check marks in the “Delivery
Configuration” column to identify the items of equipment in the helicopter for
the weighing condition. A check (V) in the columns headed “In Helicopter” indi-
cates the presence of the item in the helicopter, and a zero (0) indicates its
absence. The next columns of chart A will permit inspection of the helicopter
for equipment actually installed. When making an inventory, note whether any
items of equipment have been installed or removed and if so enter corre-
sponding weight and moment change on Chart C.
Subsequent check list inventories shall be carried out in the following cases:
1. When the helicopter undergoes modification, major repair or overhaul.
2. When changes in equipment are made for a different type of operation.
3. When the helicopter is reweighed.

WEIGHING INSTRUCTIONS
Refer to Chapter 08 of the helicopter maintenance publication.

USE OF CHART B
1. Enter the actual scale readings in the first column of Sheet 1. Subtract
tare, if any, from the scale readings to obtain the net weight.
2. Multiply the net weights by their respective arms.
3. Add the net weight and moments.
4. Divide the total moment by the net weight to obtain “as weighed” CG
position. Transfer the “TOTAL” (as weighed) weight arm and moment to
the Sheet 2.
5. Subtract the total weight and moment of equipment weighed but not part
of the empty weight (list these items in column one).
6. Add the weight and moment of unusable fuel.
7. Add the total weight and moment of the basic items not in helicopter when
weighed (list these in column two). Added items shall be marked on Chart
A.
8. Enter the new empty weight and moment on Chart C.

FOR TRAINING ONLY Issue 1 Page 6-41


Rev. 4
Section 6 AW189 - RFM
Weight and Balance Document N°
189G0290X002

USE OF CHART C
Chart C is a continuous history of the empty weight and moment resulting from
modifications and equipment is considered the current weight and balance
status of the helicopter. Make additions or subtractions to the empty weight
and moment in Chart C as follows:
1. When the helicopter undergoes modification, major repair or overhaul.
2. When changes in equipment are made for a different type of operation.
3. When the helicopter is reweighed.

Note
If any equipment is not listed on Chart A, determine its weight
and arm, and list corresponding data on Charts A and C.

USE OF CHART D
The Chart D provides information necessary for weight and balance computa-
tion.

USE OF CHART E
The Chart E serves as a work sheet and records the calculations and any cor-
rections that must be made to ensure that helicopter will be within weight and
CG limits.

Note
A Chart E shall be filled prior to any flight.
1. Enter the helicopter empty weight and moment. Obtain these figures from
the last entry on Chart E.
2. Enter the weight of all applicable items in the marked “Weight”. Obtain the
corresponding arms from Chart D and calculate the moments.
3. Add weight and moments. Divide total moment by total weight to obtain
CG arm.
4. Ascertain that CG is within allowable limits.
5. Should corrections be required, readjust ballast to return CG within
allowable limits.

HELICOPTER GENERAL
(Chapter 00)

THE AW189 HELICOPTER


The AW189 is a medium twin-engine aircraft designed for land and sea opera-
tions including offshore services, Tactical Troop Transport (TTT), Search and
Rescue (SAR), Medical/Casualty Evacuation (MEDEVAC/CASEVAC), fire
fighting and utility (logistical resupply/external lift) roles.
The AW189 operating capabilities are detailed in Section 1 Limitations.
The cockpit has pilot and co-pilot crashworthy seats and double commands
(cyclic/collective bar and pedal).
The structure consists of the following:

— Main cabin
The main cabin refers to the structure forward of the STA6700 joint with
the rear fuselage, it is constructed of aluminium alloy (including machined
main frames) and carbon fiber/Nomex cored composite side panels.
The main cabin is manufactured in modules and then assembled together
in a join jig.

— Rear fuselage
The rear fuselage interfaces with the main cabin module at STA6700
where it attaches with a back-to-back machining and an internal butt
strap.
This offers a modular construction in order to ease final assembly. The
rear fuselage terminates at the STA8700 frame, which is carbon fiber
composite, together with four machined aluminium alloy fittings. The joint
to the tail unit section is made with four bolts.
The primary structure is assembled with two carbon fiber composite side-
walls, attached to the carbon fiber composite bulkheads (at STA7200 and
STA8150) and roof beams

— Tail unit.
The tail unit primary structural parts are mainly built up by the carbon fiber
composite upper and lower longerons, which provide a continuous load
path from the STA8700 joint to the fin.

The instrument panel and interseat console contain all the control panels and
displays governing the systems installed in the aircraft and utilized by the flight
crew.
The overhead console is installed above the heads of the flight crew and
includes the circuit breaker panel, the power lever quadrant, the rotor brake
control lever and the electrical control panel.
The power system is composed of two General Electric CT7-2E1 turboshaft
engines and one Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) microturbo eAPU60H equipped
with a fire detection system.They are installed in the upper deck and covered
by cowlings.

System Description Document N°
Environmental control (Chap 21) 189G0290X002

HEATING SYSTEM
The system consists of a heating system mixing bleed-air from the engines or
Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) with external ambient air and a ventilation system
which takes ambient air from outside the aircraft.
The heating system includes (Figure 7-10):

— Engines shut-off
The engine shut-off valve (attached to the firewall in the engine bay) shuts
off the supply of engine bleed-air to the heating system when it is not
required, in case of overheat or a One Engine Inoperative (OEI) condition.

— APU shut-off
The APU shut-off valve (attached to the bleed duct in the APU bay) shuts
off the supply of APU bleed-air to the heating system when it is not
required, in case of overheat or when the APU is failed.

— Jet Pump
The jet pump assembly is comprised of a composite venturi mixing sec-
tion and a stainless steel bleed-air injector.
The jet pump assembly is installed on the ceiling of the rear fuselage and
interfaces with the Temperature Control Valve (TCV), the Low Pressure
(LP) ambient air intake duct, the temperature sensor, the overheat ther-
mal switch and the LP heating distribution pipe work.
The purposes of the jet pump are:
— To provide fresh airflow into the helicopter, using engine or APU bleed-
air to induce ambient airflow into fresh air intake
— to provide a flow of controlled temperature air for heating and demist-
ing purposes. The engine bleed-air expands to LP in the mixing section
of the assembly.

— Check Valve
There are three check valves installed at the connection between the
engines and APU bleed-air ducts to prevent reverse flow to APU or
engine bleed ports.

— Heating Control Box.


The Heating Control Box (HCB) is installed in the rear fuselage, left-hand
side of the baggage area and provides control of the heating system in
AUTO mode.

The heating control box, together with the control panel, controls the nor-
mal operation of the heating system in AUTO mode. The HCB also per-
forms system monitoring and provides the pilot with warnings of overheat
conditions. These functions are achieved using air temperature data mon-
itored by a Duct Temperature Sensor (DTS) and an Overheat Tempera-
ture Switch (OTS). The data from the DTS and the selection on the control
panel is used by the HCB to regulate the TCV accordingly to obtain the
desired supply temperature.
In manual mode (MAN HTR selection) the HCB is by-passed and the TCV
and heating air temperature are directly controlled by the control panel via
use of the '+' and '-' positions on the MAN HTR switch.
Refer to Figure 7-11 for schematic diagram.
The mixed air exiting the jet pump is delivered to the cockpit and cabin
through flexible and rigid ducts.
The heating system can also utilize the cockpit ventilation system fans to
assist in driving the air to the transparency diffusers and upper gaspers, for
demisting purposes. Refer to para “Forced ventilation system”.
The control panel and heater control box control the normal operation of the
heating system.

FORCED VENTILATION SYSTEM


Forced ventilation is comprised of two separate sub-systems: one for the
cockpit and one for the cabin. Refer to Figure 7-12.
External ambient air is drawn in by the ventilation fans through air intakes.
The role of the forced ventilation system is to provide an operationally viable
level of comfort within the cockpit and cabin using external ambient air to cool
the general cockpit and cabin environment and assist with cockpit windscreen
demist.

DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
The distribution system components are shown in the Figure 7-10.

— High Pressure Distribution Ducts


The function of the high pressure ducting is to route air from the compres-
sor bleed ports of the two engines and APU to the jet pump. The ducting
interfaces with the shut-off valve, the check valves and the temperature
control valve.
The bleed flow is limited by the size of the engine and APU bleed ducts
and integral components. Flexible sections in each pipe accommodate
thermal and mechanical movement. The bleed line sections between the
engines/APU and the shut-off are installed in the engine and APU bay
and are therefore subject to fire zone conditions.

— Temperature Control Valve


The temperature control valve is an electrically actuated valve which con-
trols the flow of engines or APU bleed-air from the high pressure ducting
to the injector of the jet pump. The valve is fitted directly to the top of the
jet pump assembly mounted on the rear fuselage ceiling and electrically
interfaces with the heater control box and cockpit control panel.

— Duct Temperature Sensor


The duct temperature sensor monitors the mixed air temperature down-
stream of the jet pump mixing unit.
— Low Pressure Distribution Ducts.
The mixed air exiting the jet pump is delivered to the cockpit and cabin
through flexible and rigid ducts of similar construction to the ventilation
ducts. The heating air is routed down the rear fuselage cabin bulkhead
and forwards under the fuel tanks to the cabin where it divides into two
ducts running in parallel along the centre of the aircraft under the cabin
floor, one for the cockpit and one for the cabin.
The left (port) duct provides the cabin heating air, feeding fixed outlet dif-
fusers in the aft and forward corners of the cabin. The right (starboard)
duct provides the cockpit supply with the air being ducted forward along
the aircraft under the cabin floor before integrating with the cockpit ventila-
tion system in the cockpit centre console.

AUTO FLIGHT
(Chapter 22)

GENERAL
The four-axis, dual-duplex, Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS) provides
stabilization and control augmentation functions, Primary Upper modes, and
Flight Director modes. The AFCS Control functions are divided into two main
classes, Primary AFCS functions and AFCS Upper Modes.
AFCS actuation is provided by two sets of two linear actuators (one Pitch and
one Roll Linear Actuator for each FCC Channel), one Tail Rotor Linear Actua-
tor independently controlled by each FCC Channel and one set of four Trim
actuators.
The Flight Control Computer (FCC) controls the linear actuators. The FCC
implements two independent channels (referred to as Channel 1 and Channel
2), each made out of two sections (referred to as Section A and Section B).
Each channel is powered by an independent Power Supply Unit.

AUTO FLIGHT CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS


The AFCS consists of the following controls (Figure 7-13):

— Autopilot Control Panel (APCP)

— Pilot and co-pilot’s cyclic grip

— Pilot and co-pilot’s collective grip

— Pilot and co-pilot’s pedals

— Pilot and co-pilot’s Display Control Panel (DCP).


AFCS indications are shown on the Cockpit Display System (CDS).
Mode status and fault status are indicated on the APCP and the CDS. Addi-
tionally, there are aural annunciations.
AFCS visual and aural indications to the pilot include (Figure 7-13):

— Mode arm/engagement status

— AFCS channel 1/2 engagement status

— Force trim status

AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM (AFCS)


The AFCS consists of the following components (Figure 7-14):

— Flight Control Computer (FCC)


The FCC is located in the right-hand side of the nose compartment. The
FCC comprises four central processing boards, four input/output boards
and one power supply board housing two independent Power Supply
Units (PSU), one for each channel.

— Two pitch and two roll linear actuators


Two sets of identical linear actuators provide control inputs to the pitch
and roll axis flight controls. These inputs are in series with pilot com-
manded input. They have limited authority, which means they are able to
move the flight controls through a limited range of movement only. This is
a safety feature, if the system fails then any failure will have a limited
effect on flight control movement.

— Stability and Control Augmentation System (SCAS) linear actuator for the
integrated Tail Rotor Actuator (TRA) with dual electrical interface.
The integrated TRA is a single unit that combines a hydraulic servo actua-
tor and the AFCS electro-hydraulic (SCAS) actuator. It is mounted at 90°
to the tail rotor gearbox and provides the power boost to transmit flight
control movements to the tail rotor pitch beam.
The AFCS controls the SCAS actuator in response to detected changes
in yaw attitude.

— Four trim actuators (one for each one of the pitch, roll, yaw and collective
axes)
The trim actuators are driven by signals from the FCC. They have full
authority. This means that they are able to move the flight controls
throughout the full range of normal, available movement. The actuators
provide actuation by rotation of a shaft connected to the flight controls.

— Autopilot control panel (APCP).


The APCP is located on the interseat console. It is equipped with a num-
ber of momentary push buttons and rotary knobs, also providing push but-
ton capability. Labels above the push buttons indicate the functions or
modes that can be selected.
— The schematic diagram of the AFCS is shown in Figure 7-15.
The AFCS is a four axes system providing autostabilization and control aug-
mentation function.

The AFCS has two independent, but connected channels (channel 1 and 2),
each with its own independent power supply. The two channels are indicated
as AP1 and AP2.
AFCS actuation (that is the movement of control surfaces, main and tail rotor
blade pitch) is carried out by the use of linear (series) and trim (parallel) actua-
tors. There are two sets of pitch and roll linear actuators, each driven by one
channel.
The Flight Control Computer drives these actuators with a databus called a
Control Area Network (CAN) bus. The two sets of linear actuators are referred
to as “Bank 1" and “Bank 2", and are driven and monitored by the correspond-
ing FCC channel. Each actuator is equipped with a Linear Variable Differential
Transducer (LVDT) to give independent feedback of shaft position to the FCC.
There is a single tail rotor actuator driven by both channels together. This also
has two LVDT providing independent position feedback to the FCC, a recen-
tering spring and a solenoid operated valve.
Trim actuators provide control of shaft rotation speed. They are equipped with
resolvers to provide flight control position feedback and an enable mechanism
and electromagnetic clutch.
Depending on configuration, the APCP provides controls for mode arming/
engagement and mode status display. It is also used for trim engagement and
pre-flight testing.
AFCS modes of operation include control functions, test functions and “non-
control” functions.
The AFCS Control functions are divided into two main classes, Primary AFCS
functions and AFCS Upper Modes.

PRIMARY AFCS FUNCTIONS


The Primary AFCS functions are grouped into PFCS modes and PFCS control
functions.
The PFCS modes are:

— Attitude Hold (ATT)

— Stability Augmentation System (SAS)

— Wing Level (WLVL).


The attitude hold mode consists of the simultaneous pitch, roll, and yaw atti-
tude hold modes. The attitude hold modes provide the capability to acquire

Page 7-46 Issue 1 FOR TRAINING ONLY


AW189 - RFM Section 7
Document N° System Description
189G0290X002 Auto flight (Chap 22)

and hold a pitch, roll or yaw attitude reference. The pitch, roll, and yaw modes
are independent and each modes operate on its axis.
The stability augmentation mode consists of the simultaneous pitch, roll, and
yaw stability augmentation modes. The stability augmentation mode provides
aircraft angular stabilization about the pitch, roll and yaw axes. The pitch, roll,
and yaw modes are independent and each modes operate on its axis. SAS
mode is adopted only in degraded conditions resulting in inadequate ATT
operation.
The Wing-Level mode provides the capability to acquire and hold near zero
pitch and roll attitude. It operates on pitch and roll axes.
The PFCS control functions are:

— Collective Decoupling (C-DCPL)

— Auto-Trim (ATRIM)

— Stability Command Augmentation (SCAS/SAF) in Fly-Through

— Turn-Coordination (TC).
The collective decoupling function provides compensation for the aircraft
dynamics inherent cross-coupling from collective control to other axes. The
function is active when the AFCS is engaged.
The auto-trim function provides automatic positioning of cyclic and pedal con-
trols (about the pitch/roll/yaw axes) to the current trim position, maintaining lin-
ear actuators about their center. The function operates on pitch, roll, and yaw
axes. The function is active when AFCS is engaged and in hands-off condi-
tion.
The stabilization function provides aircraft angular rate stabilization and atti-
tude washout about the pitch, roll, and yaw axes. It is equivalent to SAS mode
control function. The function operates on Pitch, Roll, and Yaw axes (on yaw
axis only if A/C is in hover condition). The function is active when the AFCS is
engaged and when the control function of the engaged mode is not active due
to hands-on/feet-on condition. Command Augmentation function shapes A/C
response to pilot commands, hence preventing the AFCS to counteract A/C
attitude changes induced by pilot manoeuvre on pitch and roll axes. In these
conditions stabilization is the only active control function.
The turn coordination function provides control of the aircraft lateral accelera-
tion to ensure coordinated flight (zero lateral acceleration) both in turn and in
straight flight. The function operates on the Yaw axis and is active only in
cruise condition. Lateral acceleration reference can be fine tuned using collec-
tive lateral beep switches, and is reset to zero when in feet-on condition.

Auto flight (Chap 22) 189G0290X002

AFCS UPPER MODES


The AFCS upper modes are grouped into Primary Upper Modes and Flight
Director Modes.
The Primary Upper Modes are:

— Altitude Hold (ALT)

— Altitude Acquire (ALTA)

— Heading Hold (HDG)

— Indicated Airspeed Hold (IAS)

— Radar Height Hold (RHT)

— Vertical Speed Hold (VS)

— Go Around (GA)

— Hover Hold (HOV).


The ALT mode provides the capability to capture and hold a corrected baro-
altitude reference. It operates either on collective or on pitch axis. The collec-
tive axis is controlled if any other AFCS mode (e.g. IAS) is controlling the pitch
axis or flight-operating conditions are not adequate for control on pitch axis
(e.g. low speed, datum reference being modified, hands on, not steady state).
The ALTA mode provides the capability to acquire a corrected baro-altitude
target (acquisition reference). It operates on the collective axis. ALTA mode
disengages automatically when target altitude is acquired, then ALT mode
engages. ALTA mode disengages automatically below 200 feet, then RHT
mode engages.
The HDG mode provides the capability to acquire, hold and capture a mag-
netic heading reference. It operates on the roll and yaw axis in cruise and it
operates on the yaw axis in hover or if any other mode is controlling the roll
axis.
The IAS mode provides the capability to capture and hold an indicated air-
speed reference. It operates on the pitch axis.
The RHT mode provides the capability to capture and hold a radar-height ref-
erence. It operates on the collective axis.
The VS mode provides the capability to capture and hold an inertial vertical
speed reference. It operates on the Collective axis. VS mode flares to and dis-
engages automatically below 200 feet, then RHT mode engages.

Page 7-48 Issue 1 FOR TRAINING ONLY


AW189 - RFM Section 7
Document N° System Description
189G0290X002 Auto flight (Chap 22)

The GA mode provides A/C control for an automatic ascent away profile,
mainly used in case of missed approach. When engaged the A/C will be con-
trolled to about 1000 feet/min climb at minimum power airspeed (Vy). Vertical
speed and airspeed references cannot be modified. When GA is requested
during an approach and a missed approach flight plan is provided by an inde-
pendent Flight Management System, NAV mode is engaged simultaneously
on the roll axis. Otherwise HDG mode is engaged simultaneously. GA mode
operates on Collective Axis to control Vertical Speed and on Pitch axis to con-
trol airspeed. If a missed approach flight plan is provided, Roll axis is under
control of NAV mode and Yaw axis provides turn coordination. Otherwise Roll
and Yaw axes are under control of HDG mode. GA disengages automatically
when both 200 feet radar-height and 700 feet/min are achieved, then VS and
IAS modes engage.
The HOV mode provides the capability to capture and hold lateral and longitu-
dinal ground speed references (velocity-hover) and to hold a position refer-
ence (position-hover). RHT (or ALT as backup) and HDG modes are engaged
simultaneously to control height and heading respectively. It operates on Pitch
and Roll axes. The collective axis is under control of either RHT or ALT if
engaged. The yaw axis is under control of HDG (forced to operate on Yaw
axis) if engaged.
The Flight Director Modes are:

— Long Range 2D-Navigation (NAV)

— Localizer Lateral Approach (LOC)

— Glideslope Vertical Approach (GS)

— VOR Approach (VAPP)

— VOR Navigation (VOR).


The NAV mode provides AFCS coupling to roll steering produced by an inde-
pendent Flight Management System.
The LOC mode provides the capability to capture and hold a Localizer beam,
hence providing A/C control on the horizontal plane for an automatic
approach. The mode operates on roll axis.
The GS mode provides the capability to acquire and hold a Glideslope beam,
hence providing A/C control on the vertical plane for an automatic approach.
IAS mode is engaged simultaneously to control the airspeed. When decision
height is reached GS-ALVL phase starts in absence of manual control: the
rate of descent is decreased and A/C is levelled-off at a safe height (below
decision height but > 70feet). After reaching the target height the mode auto-

matically disengages and RHT mode engages. The mode operates on collec-
tive axis while pitch axis is under control of IAS, if engaged.
The VAPP mode provides the capability to acquire and hold a VOR radial ref-
erence (desired course), hence providing A/C control on the horizontal plane
for an automatic approach. The mode operates on roll axis. When the A/C flies
across the VOR cone of confusion the mode is switched in standby while HDG
mode controls the roll axis during the crossing (Over-station phase).
The VOR mode provides the capability to acquire and hold a VOR radial refer-
ence (desired course). The mode operates on roll axis. When the A/C flies
across the VOR cone of confusion the mode is switched in standby while HDG
mode controls the roll axis during the crossing (Over-station phase).

AFCS TEST FUNCTIONS


The AFCS test functions are:

— Power-Up BIT (PBIT)

— Continuous BIT (CBIT)

— Pre Flight Test (PFT)

— Maintenance

— Integration ATP (IATP)

— Lamp Test.
The PFT scope is to test functions and components whose failures cannot be
detected at CBIT and to detect failures prior to A/C dispatch. A typical AFCS
PFT page on the MFD is shown in Figure 7-16.
All AFCS control panel annunciations can be illuminated for test purposes by
means of a dedicated control on A/C (Lamp Test).

AFCS NON-CONTROL FUNCTIONS


The AFCS provides other functions (“non-control” functions) such as the Flight
Control Position Cue on Ground (ref. 43, Figure 7-13) or the capability to show
the linear actuator position on the MFD.

COMMUNICATIONS
(Chapter 23)

GENERAL
The communication system comprises all the equipment necessary for com-
munications between:

— Internal crew and passengers via the digital Intercommunication System


(ICS)

— The aircraft and ground via the Very High Frequency (VHF) radio system
speech communications

— The aircraft and other aircraft via the VHF radio system speech communi-
cations

— Other external and internal audio sources (navigation systems and crew
alerting) via the ICS (audio integrating and voice command system).
These systems include components which supply voice and audio tone com-
munications.
The communications system integrates with the following systems to provide
a full communication suite:

— Aircraft Mission Management System (AMMS)

— Navigation Aids:
– VHF Omni-directional Range (finder) 1 (VOR 1)
– VOR 2 and Automatic Distance Finder (ADF)
– Distance Measuring Equipment (DME)

— Cockpit Voice and Flight Data Recorder (CVFDR)


The schematic diagram of the communication system is shown in Figure 7-17.
The heart of the system is the Audio Management Unit (AMU).
The AMU manages the communications equipment audio inputs and outputs.
It is connected to the headsets, transceivers, receivers, Audio Control Panels
(ACP) and the passenger intercom. The AMU distributes all audio to the
required destination. It is also responsible for managing all incoming audio
and Press To Talk (PTT) demands.

FOR TRAINING ONLY Issue 1 Page 7-53


Section 7 AW189 - RFM
System Description Document N°
Communications (Chap 23) 189G0290X002

There are 2 ACP fitted in the cockpit, for pilot and co-pilot. These units provide
the operator with control, management and indication of their respective com-
munication and audio equipment. Any selections or adjustments made are
transferred to the AMU.
The cabin also contains 4 Cabin speakers which provide a cabin passenger
address system using the AMU for the amplification of audio to the cabin
speakers.
External communication is achieved via two VHF Amplitude Modulated (AM)
transceivers.
The 2 VHF transceivers are identified as VHF 1 and VHF 2 and are managed
within the AMMS and Cockpit Display System (CDS) structure, whilst the
other systems are in a stand alone configuration with an input/output with the
AMU.

INTERCOMMUNICATION SYSTEM
The intercommunication system (ICS) comprises (Figure 7-18):

— Audio Management Unit (AMU)


The AMU is located in the left side nose avionic bay on the bottom shelf. It
is mounted on the forward bulkhead towards the rear.
It is the primary component within the ICS. It controls all communication
audio and PTT (radio and intercom) functions. Each audio control panels
interfaces with the AMU via a separate serial databus, which carries the
digitized switch selection and indicator illumination commands.

— Pilot and co-pilot audio control panel (ACP)


The cockpit ACP are located in the forward section of the interseat con-
sole. The co-pilot's ACP is on the left and the pilot's on the right.

— Remote Memory (RM)


The remote memory is located in the left-hand nose avionic bay. It is situ-
ated on the top shelf in an inboard position adjacent to the forward bulk-
head.
The RM is designed to store the ICS software configuration data. Storing
the system configuration files in the RM enables the replacement of the
AMU without the need to download new configuration files.

Ref. Control/Display Function
1 Transceiver radio There are different transceiver audio rotary
controls controls. Below each rotary control is the
associated system label. Each control has a
push ON/push OFF action to allow individual
selection of the required transceiver. In the
ON position the control knob is extended and
audio control can be achieved. The centre of
each control knob has a triangular level
pointer. With panel lighting enabled, pushing
the control knob on will cause the indicator to
illuminate, and extinguish when OFF.
2 Transmit selector The transmit selector switch is a nine position
switch rotary switch used to select the transceiver for
transmission. Not all nine positions are
assigned to transceivers, selecting a blank
option has no affect on the ACP operation.
When the TX selector switch is turned fully
anticlockwise, it will be aligned with the ICS
position. In this position all transceivers are
disabled at the ACP.
3 TX switch Push To Talk switch. The ICS momentary
position permits the intercommunication. The
TX position activates the radio communica-
tion.
4 ISO CALL button The ISO/CALL button is a momentary push
button switch that can be used to enter ISO
mode (crew only (pilot and co-pilot)), or to call
the crew when isolation (ISO) mode is acti-
vated. Isolation means that the normal inter-
com audio communications path is
suspended, however all other audio is avail-
able.
5 RX-ICS knob The master RX/ICS volume control is a dual
concentric rotary knob. The upper (inner)
knob controls the ICS volume potentiometer,
and the lower (outer) knob controls the master
receive volume for the ACP.

VERY HIGH FREQUENCY (VHF) SYSTEM


The VHF system consists of two transceivers located in the nose avionic bay
and two antennae. VHF 1 is located in the left bay on the top shelf above NAV
1. VHF 2 is in the aft section of the right nose bay on the upper shelf adjacent
to the bulkhead. Refer to Figure 7-20.
The system has an extend VHF frequency range from 118.000 MHz to
151.975 MHz. This extended range capability is due to 8.33 kHz and 25 kHz
channel spacing being available. The 8.33 kHz channel spacing is available
from 118 MHz to 136.992 MHz and 25 kHz channel spacing from 137.0 MHz
to 151.975 MHz.
There are two VHF antennas. VHF 1 antenna is located on the cabin roof in a
forward left position. VHF 2 antenna is located on the underside of the aircraft,
left of the centre line and forward of the main landing gear.

VHF SYSTEM CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS


The operation of these transceivers is achieved via primary and secondary
controllers. Refer to Figure 7-21.
The primary control and operation of the transceiver is achieved from the Multi
Control Display Unit (MCDU) via the AMMS. It allows the following controls
and management:

— Frequency entry

— Standby and active frequency management, the facility allows the opera-
tor to switch between active and standby (next frequency)

— Channel preset management

— Mode management

— Squelch control

— Emergency guard mode

— Backup AMMS MCDU tuning via an ARINC 429 link direct to the VHF
transceiver, this facility is used in the event of AMMS control failure.
The secondary method of control and operation is achieved via each pilot's
Cursor Control Device (CCD) unit which interfaces with the CDS and AMMS
to provide some transceiver control.
The transceiver functions provided by the CCD are:

— The left and right triangular shaped push buttons are located on the edges

of the CCD. They are used to access either the Multi-Function Display
(MFD) or Primary Flight Display (PFD) as follows:

— On access to the respective PFD a cyan focus box will be located around
the communications Remote Frequency Indicator (RFI) window

— The SET push button is used to change between the active and standby
frequencies when RFI communications window is enabled

— The dual concentric rotary knob is used for selecting between VHF 1 or 2
and editing frequencies, with the centre push button being used to
acknowledge these changes. The outer rotary knob is also used for
selecting the RFI sub windows and Crew Alerting System (CAS) list
— The ESC (escape) push button is used to cancel modifications and return
to the active mode.
The pilot and co-pilot MCDU frequency and operational data can be observed
also in each pilot's respective PFD Remote Frequency Indicator (RFI) window.

DC power to the emergency bus. An uninterrupted flow of power is supplied to
the emergency equipment for 30 minutes minimum.
The emergency power supply contains a DC/DC converter that uses the nom-
inal output of the power supply through a remotely located switch, to supply 5
V dc for emergency lighting.
The emergency power supply has three operational modes:

— The stand-by mode

— The discharging mode

— The test mode.


In the stand-by mode, the emergency power supply receives 28 V dc from the
Number 1 emergency bus via the Electrical Power Generation and Distribution
System (EPGDS) when the BATTERY MASTER switch on the related control
panel is set to ON. The 28 V dc input maintains the charge of the battery pack.
In case of a total loss of aircraft 28 V dc power, the emergency power supply
enters the discharging operational mode and supplies 28 V dc and 5 V dc out-
put to the Integrated Stand-by Instrument System (ISIS). This is done to main-
tain the flight crew standby flight instruments operative for 30 minutes
minimum.
The emergency power supply enters the test operational mode in case the
test switch push-button on the front panel is pushed. During the test opera-
tional mode it is possible to check the total supply capacity of the battery
packs by means of a green LED light. According to the duration of the light
emitted, the green LED light provides an indication of the success or the fail-
ure of the test. .

EMERGENCY LOCATOR TRANSMITTER (ELT)


The Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) is a single output that incorporates
latitude/longitude information from the aircraft navigation system. The purpose
of the ELT is to help locate the aircraft after a crash or an emergency landing.
The ELT automatically activates following a crash due to an internal "G" switch
and transmits the standard tone on VHF and UHF guard frequencies (121.5
MHz and 243.0 MHz) and coded information to the SARSAT system (406.025
MHz). The 406.025 MHz transmitter sends an encoded digital message con-
taining aircraft identity (ELT serial number) and the last aircraft position as
received from the FMS.
The system includes (Figure 7-34):

— ELT Unit
This is fixed unit inside the aircraft and will transmit on the 121.5 MHz/
243.0 MHz and coded information to the SARSAT system on 406.025
MHz.

— ELT/Nav interface unit


ELT/NAV interface unit provides the ELT with the FMS positional data.

— Buzzer
The Buzzer operates whenever the ELT is activated.

— Antenna.
ELT antenna has two connectors: one for 121.5/243.0 MHz and one for
406.025 MHz.

PORTABLE FIRE EXTINGUISHER INSTALLATION


Three portable, manually operated, fire extinguishers are installed on the heli-
copter. One is located on right side of the cockpit below the seat of the pilot
and and one or two below the cabin passenger seats. Refer to Figure 7-36.
A quick release clamp allows for rapid removal of the portable fire extinguisher
in the event of a fire.
The extinguishing agent is HALON 1211 and the extinguisher can be used
against small carbonaceous fires, flammable liquid fires and electrical fires.
The extinguisher has a discharge time of 10 seconds. However once the
extinguisher has been used it must be replaced at the first possible opportu-
nity even if there is still some extinguishing agent in the bottle.

FIRE DETECTION SYSTEM


The fire detection system consists of a fire wire (Figure 7-39) containing a
fixed quantity of inert gas (helium) with an internal metal core filled with an
active gas and a pressure transducer. The metal core is capable of releasing a
large quantity of the active gas within the fire wire when a small section of its
surface reaches high temperature, this results in an increase of pressure and
therefore a pressure transducer activation.
The APU bay is equipped with an independent engine fire warning system.
The system consists of a wire gas type circuit similar to the engine one.

Baggage smoke detection system


The baggage smoke detection system consists of a smoke detector (Figure 7-
40) installed on the roof of the baggage compartment. Four screws and four
washers attach the smoke detector to the related support socket.
The smoke detector is a photoelectric device that uses the Tyndall effect (light
scattering). When a beam of light goes through air that contains smoke, the
smoke particles cause the reflection of the incident light at an angle with the
axis of the light beam (light scattering). The intensity of the light scattering is
dependent on the concentration of the smoke.
The smoke detector uses an electronic circuitry to transmit pulses of light at
constant intervals and to measure the light scattering.

FIRE EXTINGUISHER SYSTEMS


Two identical and interchangeable stainless steel engine fire extinguisher bot-
tles charged with HALON 1301 and nitrogen gas are installed between the
engine ejectors, under the rear sliding fairing (Figure 7-41, sheet 1). The bot-
tles are cross-connected so that the content of any bottle can be discharged
into either engine bay.
A temperature compensated pressure sensor is present in the bottle to pro-
vide low pressure indication to the pilot when pressure drops below a preset
safety level.
One APU fully dedicated stainless steel engine fire extinguisher bottle is
installed behind the APU forward firewall (Figure 7-41, sheet 2).
The bottle is similar to the engine one, with the difference that there is only
one output and one electrically actuated cartridge.
Refer to Figure 7-42 and Figure 7-43 for the schematic diagram of the engine
and APU fire extinguisher systems.

FUEL SYSTEM
(Chapter 28)

GENERAL
The fuel system provides fuel storage capability and supplies the two main
engines and the APU, at the pressure and flow rate requested by the engine
for aircraft operations in all ground and flight conditions. The fuel system also
provides the principle requirements which are:
— Fuel storage system
— Fuel distribution system
— Fuel indicating system
— Pressure refueling and defueling system (optional).

FUEL SYSTEM CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS


The Fuel system has both manual and automatic controls. The controls are
available in the Electronic Control Display Unit (ECDU) fuel page. Refer to
Figure 7-44.
The ECDU fuel page allows the manual control. The pilot can switch ON/OFF
the booster pumps, CLOSE/OPEN the Fuel Shut-Off valves (SOV) and
CLOSE/OPEN the cross feed (XFEED) valve.
When the XFEED valve operation is in AUTO mode it operates in automatic
mode. The valve will be in close position unless the pressure switch in one of
the feeding lines indicates a low pressure in which case the valve will automat-
ically open.
In case of malfunction of one of the fuel system components, it is possible to
show the fuel system synoptic page (Figure 7-44) to assist in troubleshooting
and provide detailed information about the component(s) affected by malfunc-
tion.
The fuel quantities, pressure and fuel flow are displayed on the Multi-Function
Display (MFD) PWR PLANT format (in numerical and graphical representa-
tion).
The primary flight display provides information about left, right, total fuel quan-
tities and engines/APU fuel pressure lines.
The Crew Alerting System (CAS) window will show warnings, cautions and
advisories (WCA) indication messages related to the fuel system.

There are 10 cautions and 2 advisories applicable to the fuel system. No


warning signals are generated by the airframe fuel system components. Refer
to Figure 7-44.

FUEL STORAGE SYSTEM


The two main tanks (Figure 7-45) are "L" shaped bladder type and the primary
structural strength is provided by the frames which, via the honeycomb pan-
els, retain the tank bladders and form a fume proof enclosure. The main fuel
tanks are symmetrical (except for the addition of flanges required for optional
equipment).
The interconnection flange (diameter 100 mm) is situated between the right
and left tanks, on the vertical central airframe panel.
Below the level of the interconnection flange, the fuel volume is totally inde-
pendent and forms a collector, from which the engines are supplied.
The left main fuel tank incorporates the filler cap for gravity refuelling. Unlock-
ing and locking is accomplished by the traditional "lift and turn" action on the
handle.

FUEL DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM


The components of the fuel distribution system are shown in Figure 7-46.
The fuel distribution system consists of two independent and separate
boosted systems which supply the two main engines and Auxiliary Power Unit
(APU). Under normal conditions, each distribution circuit supplies fuel to its
associated engine. However, the systems can be connected by a cross-feed
line, controlled by an electrically operated valve, which enables fuel to be sup-
plied by one system to both engines. The cross-feed operation is automati-
cally activated (by a pressure switch signal) in normal operation and can also
be manually operated by the pilot.
The schematic diagram of the fuel distribution system is shown in Figure 7-47.
An electrically driven boost pump, one in each main tank, provides a positive
pressure fuel supply to the engines. The booster pump control (ON/OFF) is
from the ECDU. The pumps are installed into the main tank sump plate, at the
lowest point of the tanks, which prevents the introduction of air into the fuel cir-
culation.
Any leakage from faulty seals will be drained through the sump plate and over-
board. The drainage point is at the centre of the helicopter underside where
fire risk is minimized.

Fuel system (Chap 28) 189G0290X002

The fuel system lines are composed of rigid and flexible pipes. Flexible pipes
are used to meet crash safety requirements where relative movement
between the bladder and rigid pipe, in a survivable crash, would damage the
bladders causing serious fuel spillage.
The shut-off valves and cross-feed valve are incorporated into two manifold
assemblies together with the respective pressure transducers. The No. 1
engine and APU shut off valves (SOV) are incorporated into the left side man-
ifold assembly (no. 1 manifold) and the No. 2 engine and cross-feed valve are
incorporated into the right side manifold assembly (no. 2 manifold).

Ventilation system
The fuel tank ventilation system consists of two independent and separate
systems which vent each of the two main fuel tank cells. The fuel tank ventila-
tion system ensures proper ventilation of all tanks and prevents fuel leakage
due to over pressure, siphoning or helicopter rollover.

FUEL INDICATING SYSTEM


The Fuel Quantity Gauging System (FQGS) measures the fuel level for the
main fuel tanks and internal auxiliary tanks (if fitted) to provide the pilot with a
continuous fuel mass indication.
The components of the fuel indicating system are shown in Figure 7-48. For
the schematic diagram of the fuel indicating system refer to Figure 7-49.
The FQGS comprises two totally independent systems for gauging function
and low-level sensor acquisition, such that any failure of any channel does not
affect the correct and proper operation of the other channel. The FQGS is pre-
calibrated and no on-aircraft calibration is necessary.
In order to improve accuracy of the computation, the system uses the lower
probe as a reference to compensate for fuel density. As long as the upper
probe detects sufficient fuel for the secondary probe to be fully immersed, the
secondary probe signal is used to measure the dielectric constant of the fuel.
Both probes are composed of two light alloy coaxial tubes (electrodes of the
capacitor).The probe output is decoded and processed by the Aircraft Mission
Management Computer (AMMC) for cockpit display.

PRESSURE REFUELING AND DEFUELING SYSTEM


The pressure refueling and defueling system P/N 8G2810F00611 is an
optional kit that operates to pressure refuel and defuel the helicopter.
The pressure refueling and defueling system includes (Figure 7-49A):

— The adapter
The adapter is located on the right side of the helicopter. To the adapter
are connected the refuel line hose and the pilot-line hose.
The adapter incorporates a cap which fully seals the adapter. The cap is
attached to the adapter with a chain. On the cap there is a push button
that makes possible to release any trapped pressure before the cap is
removed. The adapter is designed to connect a standard diameter refuel-
ing nozzle.

— The valve
The valve is installed on the sump flange of the Number 2 tank. To the
valve is connected the refuel line hose.
The valve allows the refueling only when 28 Vdc is supplied from the
refuel/defuel panel, in combination with the application of fuel pressure
from the refuel line hose. The valve stops the refueling when either the
AMMC or the high level valve provide to the refuel/defuel panel the signal
to stop the refuel.

— The vent valve


The vent valve is installed on the top flange of the Number 2 tank. On the
valve are connected the vent line hose and the pilot-line hose.
The vent valve ensures that the internal tank pressure does not exceed 2
psi during all normal conditions.

— The high level valve


The high level valve is installed on the top flange of the Number 2 tank.
On the valve is connected the pilot-line hose.
The high level valve is primarily intended to act as a backup to initiate
refueling shutoff in the event of an indicating system failure or when no
predetermined fuel load is required. When the fuel reaches the high level
valve, an electrical signal is sent to the refuel/defuel panel to initiate the
refueling shutoff.
The operation of the high level valve can be tested pushing the pre-
checked button on the refuel/defuel panel.

— The refuel/defuel panel


The refuel/defuel panel is installed in the AC socket compartment on the
right side of the fuselage.
The refuel/defuel panel makes possible to control the refueling operation,
to test the high level valve and to have an indication of the full tanks con-
dition.
In normal condition, the system can be controlled by the AMMC or by the
refuel/defuel panel.
If the system is controlled by the AMMC, the operator must set the required
total fuel quantity on the MCDU before set to ON the ON/OFF switch of the
refuel/defuel panel. When the ON/OFF switch is set to ON, it supplies 28 Vdc
to the valve which opens. When the fuel reaches the pre-set level, a signal
shall be sent from the AMMC to the refuel/defuel panel to remove the 28 Vdc.
Then, the valve stops the fuel flow.
If the system is controlled by the refuel/defuel panel, the operator must set the
the ON/OFF switch to ON to supply 28 Vdc to the valve which opens. When
the fuel reaches the high level valve it provides a signal to the refuel/defuel
panel to remove 28 Vdc from the valve. Then, the valve stops the fuel flow.

PRESSURE REFUELING AND DEFUELING SYSTEM CONTROLS AND


DISPLAYS
The operator can control the pressure refueling and defueling system via the
refuel/defuel panel or via the Multifunction Control Display Unit (MCDU). Refer
to Figure 7-49B.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
(Chapter 29)

GENERAL
The hydraulic power system supplies the hydraulic power necessary to oper-
ate the flight control servo actuators (main and tail) and the landing gear circuit
for landing gear extension and retraction.
The system includes two independent circuits that supply hydraulic fluid at a
nominal working pressure of 3000 psi (207 Bar): hydraulic system No. 1 and
No. 2.
The main module of the hydraulic system is called power control module
(PCM) (Figure 7-52). This houses most of the hydraulic system components
including the reservoir, shut-off valves (SOV), filters and sensors.
The PCMs are installed on the upper deck in front of the main gearbox. The
functions of the PCMs are to store, filter, provide the hydraulic fluid and moni-
tor the pressure and temperature of the hydraulic system.
The Tail Rotor Shut-Off valve (TRSOV) is the only component not included in
the PCMs. It enables the isolation of hydraulic circuit 2 tail rotor actuator
hydraulic line in the event of a leak.
The No. 1 hydraulic system is composed of one mechanical driven self-regu-
lating pump and one electrical driven for the on ground pre-flight checks. The
No. 2 hydraulic system is composed of two mechanical driven self-regulating
pumps, able to provide pressure flow at 207 bar (3000 psi) to the power con-
trol module.
The mechanical hydraulic pumps are driven continuously by the main gear
box, the electrical hydraulic pump (when operated by the pilot) only for ground
pre-flight checks of the flight controls servo actuators for a limited period of
time (2 minutes).
The schematic diagram of the hydraulic system is shown in Figure 7-50.
The pumps function is to supply their respective PCM with the necessary
hydraulic pressure and flow, then the PCMs supply hydraulic power to the
flight controls.
The No. 1 hydraulic system supplies power for one channel of the main and
tail-rotor actuators (three main rotor actuators and one tail rotor actuator). No.
1 system is also used to operate the landing gear only in emergency situa-
tions.The No. 2 hydraulic system supplies power for one channel of the main
and tail-rotor actuators (three main-rotor actuators and one tail rotor actuator).

The No. 2 hydraulic system also supplies primary power to the landing gear
extension and retraction system; this system is referred to as the utility circuit.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS

Manual control
The hydraulic page on the Electronic Control Display Unit (ECDU) is shown in
the Figure 7-51.
The three-position horizontal toggle command type with NORM, 1CLSD and
CLSD2 options, allows to close the SOV in the circuit No.1 and No. 2. The
default at power-up is NORM and both SOV open.
The system includes the following features:

— Interlocking of the two circuits (circuit 1 and 2) without the possibility of


excluding both systems

— Automatic re-activation of the excluded circuit in the event of a failure in


the other (low pressure).

— ELEC PUMP is an imposed toggle command type with OFF and ON


options.

Automatic control
The automatic controls for system 1 are provided by fluid level switches in the
PCM reservoirs. The automatic operations for system 1 include:

— PCM 1 low-level switch


If the hydraulic fluid reaches the minimum level (0,7 litres), the PCM 1
low-level switch will give a signal. The signal will close the PCM emer-
gency circuit SOV, thus stopping a further drop in fluid pressure.

— PCM 2 LOW1 level switch


If the level in the PCM 2 reservoir reaches the LOW1 level (1.3 litres), the
PCM 2 LOW1-level switch will give a signal. The signal will close the
PCM utility shut-off valve (UTIL SOV), thus stopping a further drop in fluid
pressure.

— PCM 2 LOW2 level switch


If the level in the PCM 2 reservoir reaches the LOW2 level (0.9 litres), the
PCM 2 LOW2-level switch will give a signal. The signal will open the PCM
Utility SOV and closes the TRSOV. If the shut-off valve of the flight control

circuit (F/C SOV) is closed, its reopens automatically (and its closure it is
inibithed).

— PCM 2 MIN level switch


If the fluid in the PCM2 reaches the minimum level switch (0,7 litres), the
utility shut off valse is closed again.
The values of pressure and temperature in No. 1 and No. 2 systems are repre-
sented in the Primary Flight Display (PFD), PWR PLANT format and
“HYDRAULIC” synoptic page (Figure 7-51).
The synoptic page provides a diagram showing the interface between the
PCMs, pumps, landing gears, servo actuators and tail rotor shut off valve.The
color coding highlights the operational status of the components.
In the PFD, the hydraulic pressure and temperature parameters are repre-
sented by digital readouts beside the labels HYD1 and HYD2 (Figure 7-51).
There are several possible cautions applicable to the hydraulic system. No
warning signals are generated by the hydraulic system components.
The PWR PLANT page displays the values of pressure and temperature in the
HYD area.

MAIN HYDRAULIC SYSTEM


The main hydraulic (Figure 7-52) system includes the HPS1, HPS2, PCM1,
PCM2 and TRSOV.
The normal circuit 2 is routed in the right side of the fuselage, while the emer-
gency circuit 1 is routed on the opposite side for maximum physical segrega-
tion of the two systems.
Each Hydraulic Power Supply (HPS) is connected to own PCM by means of
flexible hoses. Flexible hoses also provide connection between the PCM to
the Main Rotor Actuators (MRA) circuit 1 pipeline, supplying hydraulic power
to the MRA upper body. Circuit 2 pipeline supplies hydraulic power to the MRA
lower body. Rigid pipelines are routed from each PCM to the Tail Rotor Actua-
tor (TRA).
In the tail unit, both circuits are routed inside the tail boom. In order to maintain
the physical segregation between the two circuits, system 1 is routed on the
left side while sistem 2 is routed on the right side. In the vertical fin circuit 2 is
routed in the front, while circuit 1 is located in the back.
Rigid pipelines are routed from each PCM to the landing gear control valve
(utility system) that is situated on the forward right-hand side of the upper
deck.

AUXILIARY HYDRAULIC SYSTEM


The auxiliary hydraulic system includes the HPS3 (electrical pump) and
HPS4. Electrical pump No. 3 (Refer to Figure 7-52) is a 28 Vdc electric motor
variable delivery axial piston driven pump. It provides hydraulic power to
PCM1, just sufficient for the full and free movement check of the flight controls
prior to running the mechanically driven pumps. It is therefore designed for
ground use only.
The No. 4 hydraulic power supply (HPS4) is positioned on the auxiliary pad of
the main gear box, adjacent to the forward main rotor actuator.
HPS4 is identical to HPS1 and 2.

ICE AND RAIN PROTECTION


(Chapter 30)

GENERAL
The ice and rain protection system includes:

— Pitot tube heating system

— Windshield wiping system

— Ice detector system (optional).

PITOT HEATING SYSTEM


The pitot heating system (Figure 7-54) prevents the accretion of ice on the
pitot-static probes. The two pitot-static probes are protected against icing by
means of electrical heating elements.
Each pitot tube has a heating element (internal resistor) installed in the rear
part of the pitot tube.
The heating elements are controlled by the ECDU system menu and powered
by the 28 Vdc EMER busbars.

PITOT HEATING CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS


From system page in the ECDU (Figure 7-55), the Line System Key 4 (LSK4)
allows to enter the pitot page. From here the pilot is able to turn the pitot heat-
ing system for both pitot 1 and 2 on and off.
In the MFD power plant format two icons related to the pitot probes are avail-
able in the upper part of the helicopter silhouette.
The icons are not in view when the pitot heating system is not active, they
appear in green when they are energized and heated.
The icons appear in amber when the pitot heating system has not been ener-
gized even with the OAT below the minimum, or when a failure in the pitot
heating system is detected.

temperature from -70 to +50 °C.
The temperature probe is situated outside the top right laminated window
where it is held in position.

RECORDERS SYSTEM
The recorders system includes the following sub-systems:

— Cockpit Voice Flight Data Recorder (CVDFR)

— Health and Usage Monitoring System (HUMS).

COCKPIT VOICE FLIGHT DATA RECORDER (CVFDR)


The CVFDR consists of a combined Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) and a
Flight Data Recorder (FDR).
The purpose of the CVFDR is to record flight data parameters with crew voice
recordings. A cockpit area microphone also records sounds within the cockpit
area in support of data analysis which can be carried out at a later stage.
The CVFDR system records selected aircraft parameters and audio signals
into the internal solid state non-volatile memory. The main recording unit
retains, as a minimum, the last 25 hours of aircraft data and the most recent
120 minutes of four audio sources.
The CVFDR includes (Figure 7-59):

ble of downloading stored data and audio information digitally at high


speed.

— Underwater Locator Beacon (ULB)


The ULB is fitted to the crash survivable memory module as an aid to
location in the event of an accident over water.
The beacon is powered by a water activated lithium battery. It will transmit
for a period of 30 days before battery expiry and can operate down to a
depth 20,000 ft.

— Accelerometer
The accelerometer is a tri-axial type, situated on the roof area of the tail
boom area, is an hermetically sealed instrument. It simultaneously mea-
sures acceleration on three axes: vertical, longitudinal and lateral.

— Recorder Independent Power Supply (RIPS).


The primary function of RIPS is to supply independent backup power to
the CVR/FDR when aircraft power systems are inoperative or malfunc-
tioned.
Backup power to the main recording system is achieved by delivering the
energy stored in a multi-cell battery pack assembly internal to the RIPS.
The RIPS monitors the aircraft 28VDC bus voltage, charges and main-
tains its internal battery pack.

Cockpit voice flight data recorder controls and displays

HEALTH AND USAGE MONITORING SYSTEM (HUMS)


The HUMS is a part of Monitoring and Diagnostic System (MDS).
The MDS is a distributed system which is implemented on-board the helicop-
ter to provide the diagnostic capability to detect, record and isolate faults,
using a combination of Line Replaceable Unit Built In Test (LRU BIT), HUMS
or manual fault findings, to meet the reliability, maintainability and testability.
The helicopter sensors in relation to aircraft attitude, speed, heading, height
(barometric and radar height), engine torque, engine speed, flight controls
position, wind speed and direction, air temperature etch are directed to the rel-
evant Aircraft and Mission Management Computer (AMMC).
Data acquired from the helicopter sensor information and the monitoring sen-
sors, combined in the AMMC 1 and 2 provide the following main functions:

— Maintenance Data Base (MDB) Management

— Basic Usage and Operation Monitoring (BUOM)

— Transmission Usage Monitoring (TUM)

— Structural Usage Monitoring (SUM)

— Transmission Vibration Monitoring (TVM)

— Structural Vibration Monitoring (SVM)

— Rotor Track and Balance (RTB).


The Vibration Monitoring (VM) functions are available only with the HUMS kit
installed.
The VM functions evaluate the characteristics (amplitude and form) of the
vibrations generated by the movement of the mechanical components (rotors,
shafts, gears, bearings, fans, etch.) and measured by dedicated sensors
(accelerometers).
Thirteen accelerometers perform transmission, drive train and swashplate
vibration monitoring. These accelerometers have a sensitivity of 10 mV/G. The
TVM accelerometers are hermetically sealed, piezoelectric, annular shear
type accelerometers with integral electronics (Figure 7-61).
Specific algorithms turn the vibration characteristics into Health Indices (HI)
which can be associated to the health status of the monitored component.
This data are stored on a Data Transfer Device (DTD) for subsequent down-
load to the ground station. The ground station provides for additional process-
ing and analysis of the MDS data. No initialization, data upload or
configuration action is required.

LANDING GEAR
(Chapter 32)

GENERAL
The landing gear system is a nose wheel tricycle design, comprising two main
landing gear subsystems and one nose landing gear subsystem.
Main and nose landing gears are retractable and are held in the retracted
position using the hydraulics only.
The landing gear is equipped with one wheel for the main left-hand and right-
hand landing gear and two wheels for the nose.
The brake system is operated for progressive, differential, dynamic braking
and a parking brake function.

LANDING GEAR SYSTEM CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS


The Landing Gear Control Panel (LGCP) is an electromechanical assembly,
located in the cockpit, manually operated by the pilot in order to control the
landing gear system. See Figure 7-63.
The Crew Alerting System (CAS) list in the PFD format can display 5 (five)
cautions for this system. They relate to the low pressure in the two hydraulic
systems, the emergency system activation and the absence of nose locking.
The HELO part of the PWR PLANT format shows the indication about the sta-
tus of the brake system.

NOSE LANDING GEAR SYSTEM


The Nose Landing Gear (NLG) system, attached to the aircraft via the pintle
pins, is free swivelling without an active steering motor. It is self-centering after
take-off.
The NLG includes (Figure 7-64):

— Retraction actuator
The retraction actuator is a hydraulically operated line replaceable unit of
the extension and retraction subsystem. It retracts and extends the nose
landing gear. It also serves as the drag brace comprising an internal
mechanical locking device.

— Torque links
Two identical torque links allow the rotation movement between the
wheels and shock absorber cylinder during towing/taxiing operations.

— Shock absorber
The NLG shock absorber is integrated in the shock strut. It is a double
stage type with a low and a high pressure chamber.

— Centering assembly (not illustrated)


The centring assembly consists of two shaped cams, one lower and one
upper. The upper cam is attached to the top of the shock absorber sliding
tube by a circular ring and two pins inserted at opposite sides of the cam,
therefore preventing any circular movement. The lower cam is attached to
the shock absorber inner tube with six pins inserted circumferential.

— Center lock assembly


The locking assembly system is an electromechanical locking actuator,
locking the nose wheels in 0° position when the aircraft is taxiing on
ground with a high speed or when the aircraft is parked. It is installed on a
collar above the cuff assembly at the lower end of the main fitting and is
attached with two screws.
The system has two operation modes: electrical and manual.
When the system works in the electrical mode, the locking assembly pin is
operated through the electrical impulse from the operation of the locking
assembly push button in the cockpit.
The locking assembly can also be manually locked or unlocked on the
ground through the 90° upward or downward movement of a locking
assembly lever.

FOR TRAINING ONLY Issue 1 Page 7-159


Section 7 AW189 - RFM
System Description Document N°
Landing gear (Chap 32) 189G0290X002

— Crash device
In case of the aircraft sinking speed being more than 5.5 m/s, which has
to be classified as failure case and therefore the landing gear can get
damaged, the resulting loads will be additionally absorbed by a cylindrical
crash tube, which is made of composite materials. The crash tube stroke
is 80 mm. In case of a crash landing (sinking speed more than 10 m/s) the
resulting loads will be mainly absorbed by the crash tube. In this case the
crash tube will be destroyed completely.

MAIN LANDING GEAR SYSTEM


The Main Landing Gear (MLG) system is attached to STA5700 frame. It
includes (Figure 7-65):

— Trailing arm
The trailing arm is a steel beam that connects the wheel and the shock
absorber, and allows the pivoting of the landing gear during the landing
and extension/retraction operation.

— Main shock absorber


The shock absorber of the main landing gear is a separate line replace-
able unit, not integrated into the main landing gear strut as on the nose
landing gear design, installed with the sliding tube end on the trailing arm
and with the housing end to the lever. The shock absorber is a double
staged type with a low and a high pressure chamber.
The low pressure chamber is located inside the sliding tube and contains
oil and nitrogen which are only separated by gravity. The high pressure
chamber is the area inside the inner tube. The second chamber is filled
with nitrogen only and contains a floating piston.

— Main landing gear lever


The lever is the component which links the shock absorber to the aircraft
structure. The lever is also attached to the retraction actuator. The exten-
sion/retraction of the main landing gear is obtained by pulling/pushing this
lever.

— Extension/retraction actuator
The retraction actuator is a hydraulically operated line replaceable unit of
the extension and retraction subsystem. It retracts and extends the main
landing gear. The tailstock side of the retraction actuator is attached to the

aircraft structure and the eye-end side to a lever that actuates the main
landing gear.
The normal operation is performed through the No. 2 hydraulic system,
whilst the emergency extension is provided by the No. 1 hydraulic system
via a shuttle valve incorporated in the retraction actuator housing.
The retraction actuator comprises an internal locking device which auto-
matically locks the actuator at the end of the extension cycle. Unlocking is
ensured by the hydraulic force.

EXTENSION AND RETRACTION SYSTEM


The extension and retraction system includes these primary components
(refer to Figure 7-63 thru Figure 7-66):

— The landing gear control panel

— The landing gear control valve (LGCV)

— The nose landing gear actuator (see page 7-159)

— The left /right main landing gear actuator (see page 7-160).
The landing gear control panel is an electro-mechanical assembly. The pilots
operate it manually to control the landing gear and the related systems.
The LGCV is an electromechanical valve with two primary assemblies (Figure
7-66):

— The normal operation manifold (normal valve)

— The emergency operation manifold (emergency valve inside the mani-


fold).
The LGCV controls the supply of the hydraulic fluid to the landing gear actua-
tors, extending or retracting the landing gear in normal, and emergency mode.
It operates electrically, with signals coming from the control panel and supplies
hydraulic power for the operation of the landing gears.
The normal manifold is connected to the No. 2 hydraulic system. The emer-
gency manifold is connected to the No. 1 hydraulic system.
Two electrical output signals provided by the pressure switch are:

— One signal directly to AMMC 1 and 2 for L/G EMERGENCY STATUS

— Signal for emergency switch indication to the LGCP.

WHEELS AND BRAKE SYSTEM

BRAKE SYSTEM
The wheel brake system provides progressive, differential, dynamic braking of
the main wheels and parking brake function.
The brakes system includes (Figure 7-67):

— Parking brake lever


The Wheel Brake Control Lever (W/BCL) is installed in the interseat con-
sole. It is composed by a manual control handle with cable, straight push-
pull type, used to actuate the Wheel Brake Parking/Emergency Valve W/
BPEV.
It is intended to be utilized by the pilot for parking and emergency opera-
tion of the W/BS.

— Master cylinders and pedals


The master cylinders are located underneath and directly connected to
the yaw pedals. As soon as the pedals are pushed, this action generates
the required pressure to the brake assembly proportional to the force
applied to the pedals.

— Brake assembly
The main landing gear brake assembly consists of an aluminium housing
containing:
– Five pistons which operate through an independent hydraulic circuit,
pressure and reaction plates
– Two rotors
– A double stator assembly disc
– Two wear indicators.
Two hydraulic fittings are located on the housing, one for hydraulic pres-
sure supply, the other for hydraulic bleeding.
The dynamic brake function is achieved through the pedal levers installed
on the yaw pedals. The pilot hydraulic master cylinders are supplied
through the co-pilot ones. Each side is connected in series and provides
hydraulic pressure to brake the associated main wheel. A valve is
installed in each master cylinder. This poppet valve gives the priority to
the stronger pedal operated (pilot or co-pilot).

Page 7-166 Issue 1 FOR TRAINING ONLY


AW189 - RFM Section 7
Document N° System Description
189G0290X002 Landing gear (Chap 32)

— Wheel Brake Parking/Emergency Module


The W/BPEM is an integrated module used to provide hydraulic power for
parking and progressive/emergency brake operation of the wheel brake
system. This module is located in the nose landing gear bay at the right-
hand side. The W/BPEM is operated by the pilot by pulling the handle of
the W/BCL installed in the in the interseat console.

WHEELS
The nose landing gear wheel assembly (Figure 7-68) is a dual web design
with a 6-inch bead seat diameter to accept a 14.5 x 5.5 tubeless tyre.
The major components of the assembly are two wheel half-hubs. The two half-
hubs are bolted together with tie bolts, washers and nuts.
The nose wheel is fixed on the wheel axle via a one central nut screwed to the
end of the wheel axle. The fixation nut is secured by a cross bolt through the
fixation nut/wheel axle.
The main landing gear wheel assembly is a dual web wheel design. When fit-
ted together, these two half-hubs make an A-frame wheel which provides opti-
mum strength to weight ratio.

LIGHTS
(Chapter 33)

GENERAL
The purpose of the lights system is to illuminate the aircraft both internally
(cockpit and cabin) and externally to allow safe operational flying in all light
conditions. The lights system is therefore divided into the following sections:

— Internal lights

— External lights

— Emergency lights.

INTERNAL LIGHTS
The internal lighting system provides and manages illumination of the aircraft
cockpit and cabin. Both cockpit and cabin subsystems are Night Vision Gog-
gle (NVG) compatible, with the exception of the storm lights and the sky lights.
Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology is used in order to reduce power con-
sumption, maintenance operations and give increased reliability.
The cockpit interior lights system includes (Figure 7-69):

— Storm lights

— Panels Backlight and Dimming

— Utility lights

— Dome light

— Outside Air Temperature (OAT) light.


The baggage and cabin lights system includes (Figure 7-70):

— Baggage lights

— Sky lights

— Passenger individual reading lights (hard liner model only)

— Passenger fasten seat belt indicators.

CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS

Cockpit lights
The main control panels for the lights system are the two Electronic Control
Display Units (ECDUs) which are connected to the storm lights, dome light,
cabin lights. The panels, bezels and keyboard backlight management is
mainly based on Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) control technology. This is
accomplished using the DIMMING page on the ECDUs. Refer to Figure 7-71.
The ECDUs allow management and control of the lighting. They work inde-
pendently of each other and, should one fail, the second is able to undertake
all operations required.
The OAT light is controlled manually (Figure 7-71) by the overhead switch.
Only the power supply for the OAT from remote electrical power unit 2
(REPU2) is controlled via the ECDU.
The OAT light illuminates when the OAT switch is held depressed on the over-
head console. On release, the light turns off.
The utility lights have the controls on the light unit itself.

Cabin lights
The cabin lights are controlled via the cabin compartment control panel (refer
to Figure 7-71) situated forward of the left hand cabin door. The control panel
allows control of the cabin lighting to be undertaken by the cabin crew. The
cockpit has the ability to take control at any time via the lighting and miscella-
neous control panel and via the CAB LTS page on the ECDUs. The mode of
lighting and the brightness of illumination required can be designated using
the controls available.
The Fasten Seat Belt (FSB) indicators are installed in the cabin compartment.
They are LED based and controlled by the cockpit ECDUs. When the NVG
mode is selected the FSB indicators are inhibited or switched off.
Passenger reading lights include a personal reading light switch.
The baggage lights are controlled by two micro-switches on the left and right
baggage doors. The baggage lights turn on when a baggage door is open,
and turn off when both baggage doors are closed.

EXTERNAL LIGHTS
The aircraft external lighting system is designed to meet the requirements for
visible and NVG operations. The visible light sources are NVIS friendly. The
majority of the lighting subsystems can be operated in two modes, NORM
(visible light source) and NVG (Infrared (IR) light sources).
The external lighting system comprises the following subsystems (refer to Fig-
ure 7-72):

— Navigation lights (Anti-collision and position lights)

— Steerable landing lights.

CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS


The external lights are all controlled via the ECDU lights page (Refer to Figure
7-73) that allows the following actions:

— Set on or off the position lights

— Set on or off the anti-collision lights

— Change the landing lights NVIS mode from White to IR.


The steerable landing lights are controlled via the related switches on the pilot
and copilot collective grips (refer to Figure 7-73).

STEERABLE LANDING LIGHTS


The steerable landing lights provides sufficient light to allow the following
operations:

— Taxiing

— Landing

— Hovering.
The helicopter is equipped with two steerable landing lights developed with
high intensity discharge (HID) technology for white light. Each light has its own
motor that provides each of the lamps with sufficient power to allow use of a
single lamp for manoeuvres. Refer to page 7-179 for controls and displays.
The lamps can be controlled through 360° of rotation and 120° of elevation.
The movement speed is greater than 20° per second.
Three switches, on the pilot and copilot collective grip, let the two landing
lights to be controlled jointly or independently.

The LH/BOTH/RH switch allows the pilots to control both lights, or only the left
or the right light.
The AUTO EXT/CAGE STOW momentary switch allows the pilots to extend,
align and stow the selected light(s).

— With the landing light(s) switched off and in the stowed position, selecting
the AUTO EXT/CAGE position initiates the AUTO EXT function: the
selected light(s) illuminates and extends to the predefined landing posi-
tion (75° extension, forward pointing). During the AUTO EXT sequence all
other controls to the light(s) are inhibited.

— With the landing light(s) un-stowed and irrespective of being switched on


or off, selecting the AUTO EXT/CAGE position initiates the CAGE func-
tion: the selected light(s) illuminates and aligns to the predefined landing
position. This function helps the pilots to point the light to a known direc-
tion. During the CAGE sequence all other controls to the light(s) are inhib-
ited.

— With the landing light(s) un-stowed and irrespective of being switched on


or off, selecting the STOW position initiates the STOW function: the
selected light(s) switches off (if on) and retracts to the stowed position.
During the STOW sequence all other controls to the light(s) are inhibited.
The 5-way LDG LT switch allows the pilots to set on or off the selected light(s).
It also controls the position of the selected light(s) as follows:

— FWD: the light extends

— AFT: the light retracts


— RIGHT: the light points right

— LEFT: the light points left.


The pilots can switch off the selected light(s) while leaving the light(s)
extended. In this condition, the directional controls are inhibited.
Advisory and status messages will appear in the crew alerting system window
(CAS) of the PFD.
The lights are installed under the forward fuselage placed symmetrically with
respect to the longitudinal axis of the helicopter.

EMERGENCY LIGHTS
The Emergency Lights System comprises internal and external light sources
to provide adequate light level in the event of an emergency landing with loss
of the aircraft electrical generation and power distribution system.
All components and wiring of the alternate power supplies are physically and
electrically segregated from the normal system. Emergency power is provided
by the battery pack situated in the nose of the aircraft. The battery pack pro-
vides the required level of illumination for at least 10 minutes after an emer-
gency landing or failure.
There are two light systems incorporated within the emergency light system.
Refer to Figure 7-74:

— Internal emergency lights

— External emergency Lights.


Three internal emergency lights are installed in the cabin roof, in a row along
the center line of the aircraft. The lights provide illumination of the passenger
exit aisles within the cabin.
The two external emergency lights, installed in the forward faring of the left
and right sponsons, utilise LED technology to produce white light that illumi-
nates the terrain around the aircraft exits in the event of an emergency land-
ing.

Controls and displays


Control of the internal emergency lighting is via the miscellaneous and lights
control panel in the cockpit or via the cabin compartment control panel. Refer
to Figure 7-75.

NAVIGATION
(Chapter 34)

GENERAL
Navigation function is generally defined as determination of position and direc-
tion of the aircraft on or above the surface of the earth. The navigation system
supplies the aircraft navigation data in order to provide flight planning capabil-
ity, navigation information, and flight performance data to pilot and co-pilot.
The general architecture is shown in the Figure 7-76.
The navigation system includes the following sub-systems:

— Flight environment data

— Attitude and Direction

— Landing aid system

— Radio altimeter system

— Position determining system

— Flight management system

— Direction finder (DF) system (optional).

FLIGHT ENVIRONMENT DATA


The schematic diagram of the flight environment data system is shown in the
Figure 7-77.
The flight environment data system uses sensors to measure the different
environmental conditions, such as the conditions that follow:

— Air pressure

— Airspeed

— Altitude

— Outside air temperature (OAT).


Flight environment data includes: (Figure 7-78):

— Pitot-static system

— Air Data System (ADS).

PITOT STATIC SYSTEM


The system is composed of two pitot-static probes (number 1 and number 2
pitot) that are installed respectively on the left and on the right side of the heli-
copter nose.
The purpose of the pitot-static system is to provide, through a set of nylon
tubes, the dynamic and static air pressure to the Air Data Units (ADU) and
standby instrument.
In the event of primary static failure condition, alternate static ports provide an
alternative static pressure source. There are two independent and separated
alternate static sources located in the overhead panel. Each port is integral
with a lever-type selector valve that can be operated by the crew.

AIR DATA SYSTEM


The helicopter has 2 Air Data Units (ADU). The number 1 and the number 2
air data units (also called Air Data Module or Air Data Computer) are installed
respectively on the left and on the right side of the nose.
The ADU measures barometric altitude, airspeed and temperature in the
atmosphere. It has integrated solid-state pressure sensors for static and pitot
pressure.
ADUs change the data received from the pitot and static system into digital
signals and perform the calculation of the related flight data (airspeed, altitude
and rate of climb or descent).
Each ADU has the Total Pressure (PT) and the Static Pressure (PS) input
ports. PT is connected to the total pressure output port P of the on side pitot-
static probe. The ADU1 PS is connected to the static pressure output ports
S2-S1 (left-to-right) of the pitot-static probes and in the ADU2 the PS is con-
nected to the static pressure output ports S1-S2 (left-to-right) of the pitot-static
probes.

FLIGHT ENVIRONMENT DATA CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS


The Primary Flight Display (PFD) format contains air data system flight indica-
tions. They consist of (Figure 7-79):

— Air Speed

— Barometric Altitude

— Vertical Speed (VS) (including TCAS II Resolution Advisories when TCAS


II is installed)

ATTITUDE AND DIRECTION


The attitude and direction system supplies attitude, heading and reference
data to the aircraft systems. The schematic diagram is shown in the Figure 7-
76.
The system consists of (Figure 7-80):

— The Attitude and Heading Reference Units (AHRU 1 and AHRU 2).
The two AHRU's are installed respectively in left and right side of the nose
avionic bay.
The AHRU, utilizing fiber optic rate gyros (FOG) and micro mechanical
accelerometers for the measurement of aircraft angular rate movement,
computes and generates attitude, heading and flight dynamics (body
rates and acceleration) data used by:
– Cockpit Display System (CDS)
– Auto Flight System (AFCS)
– Aircraft and Mission Management System (AMMS)
– Flight Management System (FMS)
– Other avionic systems.

— The magnetic sensor units (flux valve)


There are two magnetic sensor units (flux Valve), one for each AHRU.
Number 1 and 2 flux valves are installed, respectively in the aft and for-
ward position on the left side of the tail boom assembly.
— The standby attitude director indicator.
The indicator is located on the cockpit instrument panel in the pilot side.
The purpose of the instrument (or ADI STBY) is to provide backup pitch,
roll, and slip/skid information, and backup air data information (airspeed,
altitude and vertical speed) using internal sensor systems totally indepen-
dent from the AHRS.

LANDING AID SYSTEM


The landing aid system is commonly referred to as the Instrument Landing
System (ILS). The ILS supplies approach and landing navigation guidance
data.
The ILS (VOR/LOC/GS/MB) system is part of the radio navigation system
composed by two navigation receivers (NAV1 & NAV2).
Each NAV receiver is controlled (primary radio tuning) via MCDUs. The NAV1
and NAV2 support backup tuning control via dedicated ARINC 429 directly
from the on-side MCDU.
The schematic diagram of the landing aid system is shown in the Figure 7-82
The main components of the system are shown in Figure 7-83:

— NAV-4500 Radio NAV Receiver (NAV1)


Rockwell Collins NAV-4500 navigation receiver provides the same func-
tionality of NAV-4000, without the ADF capability (only present in the NAV-
4000).

— NAV-4000 Radio NAV Receiver (NAV2)


Rockwell Collins NAV-4000 navigation receiver is a fully integrated VOR/
LOC, Glideslope, Marker Beacon receiver with the addition of the ADF
receiver. The VOR/LOC/GS/MB receiver provides 200 (50-kHz spaced)
VOR/LOC channels from 108.00 through 117.95 MHz and 40 GS chan-
nels (329.15 to 335.0 MHz) automatically paired with localizer channels. It
also provides a marker beacon receiver whose carrier signal is at 75 MHz
amplitude modulated (by audio tones).

— VOR/LOC antenna
The VOR/LOC antenna is installed in the left and right side of the tail sec-
tion.

— Glide Slope (GS) antenna


The GS antenna is installed in the bottom part of the nose radome struc-
ture.

— One Marker Beacon (MKRB) antenna


The MKR Beacon antenna is installed on the right side of the bottom fuse-
lage.

LANDING AID SYSTEM CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS


The MCDU is the primary control unit for the radio navigation system (Figure
7-84). The MCDU controls all the modes, frequencies, and codes of all the
radio navigation modules of the helicopter.

Note
Refer to Chapter 46 for more information of the MCDU controls.
A set of NAV receivers tuning pages is provided by MCDU, in order to manage
the VOR-LOC/GS/MKRB system. The access is through the TUNE key.
The radio NAV control using the cockpit display system is called "secondary
radio tuning" (Figure 7-84) (the primary is through MCDU).
With the secondary radio tuning the NAV frequencies are selected using the
CCD interacting with the PFD Radio Frequency Indication (RFI) boxes.
When the RFI box has been selected on the PFD the CCD outer rotary knob
shall be used to navigate the RFI windows and set focus cycling as follow:
Rotate clockwise:

POSITION DETERMINING SYSTEM


The system includes in turn the follow sub-system (Figure 7-87):

— Very high frequency Omnidirectional Radio Range (VOR)


VOR system receives and demodulates signals transmitted from VOR
ground stations. These signals are converted into navigation guidance
information. This information gives VOR bearing, VOR lateral deviation,
TO/FROM flag and station identification audio tones and messages.

— Automatic Direction Finder (ADF)


The ADF receiver supplies the bearing data from a No Directional Beacon
(NDB) ground station for in-flight navigation, terminal navigation, and area
guidance. This data gives the aircraft direction to a ground station with
relation to the heading. The ADF function is integrated in the NAV 2
receiver (NAV-4000).
— Distance Measuring Equipment (DME)
The DME transceiver unit (DME 4000) is installed in the right side of the
nose bay compartment. The purpose of the DME is to measure the line-
of-sight distance between the aircraft and selected DME ground stations.
The DME module is capable of tracking three channels to provide slant
range, ground speed, time to station and station identified.

— Global Position System (GPS)


A single GPS system is the standard installation. A second GPS is
required for precision approaches. The GPS1 Receiver unit (CMA-3024)
is installed in the left side of rear avionic compartment bay (baggage com-
partment bay). The GPS2 Receiver unit (CMA-3024) is installed in the
right side of rear avionic compartment bay (baggage compartment bay).
The GPS receiver operate over 24 channels at 1575.42 MHz and sup-
ports Satellite-based augmentation systems (SBAS) for precision
approach and precise navigation operations.

— Air Traffic Control Transponder (ATC XPDR)


The ATC XPDR (TDR-94D) is located in the right side of the nose bay
compartment.
The ATC XPDR replies to ground-based Secondary Surveillance Radar
(SSR) interrogations to provide air traffic controllers with aircraft position
identification, altitude and enhanced surveillance data.
The system replies with Mode A (squawk ident), Mode C (barometric alti-
tude) or Mode S (selective) in response to the corresponding type of inter-
rogation from the ground station or TCAS II system.

FOR TRAINING ONLY Issue 1 Page 7-223


Section 7 AW189 - RFM
System Description Document N°
Navigation (Chap 34) 189G0290X002

The ATC XPDR is compatible with TCAS II systems and can support
Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) systems. The ATC
XPDR receives the time mark signal from the GPS2 for ADS-B out pur-
poses.
The ADS-B OUT system complies with the EASA AMC20-24.

FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (FMS)


The FMS system consists of software hosted in two AMMC computers for a
dual FMS installation. Primary functions of FMS are position computation and
flight planning. These functions work with the associated guidance in both lat-
eral and vertical axes.
The FMS database is essential to these functions in order to easily retrieve,
navaids, airways, procedures, airports, other navigation data and store and
retrieve waypoints and flight plans.
Secondary function of FMS is performances computation including fuel man-
agement, time estimates for the flight, vertical navigation estimates, stored
flight plans and other functions. The pilots manage the FMS operations via the
two MCDU, CDS control and settings.
The FMS also interacts with Data Transfer Device (DTD) equipment for navi-
gation database loading/saving operations.

FMS CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS


The FMS top page (Figure 7-92) is called up pressing the FMS IDX key on the
MCDU.
The page allows the management of the FMS DataBase (DB) Items, allows
access to navigation sensors control, to the selection of the secondary flight
plan for display on digital map and to NAV performance functions.

The FMS uses the colours available for the MCDU as follows:

— White
– Title line (in small font)
– Static strings on header lines (in small font)
– Data on header lines (in small font)
– Scratch pad (in large font)
– Standby value (values) of horizontal toggle (in small font)
– Standby frequencies/Channels for Communications and Navaids

— Green
– Data on data lines (in large font)
– GOTO legends (with symbols “> or “<” in large font)
– Executive commands
– Active value of horizontal toggle or any value of vertical toggle (large
font)

1 FMS vertical deviation The Vertical Deviation pointer is controlled by
FMS when FMS is selected as navigation
source and a LPV approach is flown. The ver-
tical deviation scale consists of two dots on
either side of a center mark (sized and spaced
like the standard lateral deviation scale, but
oriented vertically).
The vertical deviation scale is white in color.
The pointer provides a "fly to" indication of
vertical deviation.

DIRECTION FINDER (DF) SYSTEM

GENERAL
The direction finder (DF) system P/N 8G3450F00511 is an optional kit. The
direction finder (DF) system is a stand alone direction finding system that pro-
vides the helicopter with the ability to locate and steer to directional radio
sources in the 30 to 470 MHz range. The system therefore includes the capa-
bility for civil Search And Rescue (SAR) missions where distress signals use
frequencies 121.5 MHz (VHF), 156.525 MHz (GMDSS VHF DSC Channel),
156.8 MHz (MAR), 243 MHz (UHF) and for COSPAS-SARSAT beacon finding
at 406.025/406.028 MHz frequencies.
The only component of the DF system is the DF antenna. The DF antenna is
installed on the bottom fuselage. Refer to Figure 7-98A.
The DF antenna incorporates an integral synthesised receiver covering 30 to
470 MHz and 5 separate guard receivers to monitor predefined distress fre-
quencies. All six receivers can operate simultaneously and may be separately
switched on and off with respect to each other with individual squelch levels
set. The integral guard receivers are pre-programmed with up to eight stored
frequencies. Each VHF, Maritime and UHF guard receivers have a main fre-
quency and an associated auxiliary frequency; for these receivers the main
frequencies are pre-programmed, while the auxiliary frequencies can be cus-
tomer programmed.

DIRECTION FINDER (DF) SYSTEM CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS


The system status information are provided on the MCDU and on the mission
displays (if installed). Refer to Figure 7-98B.
The bearing information are provided via the AMMC on the MDF, on PFD and
on the mission displays (if installed).

SYSTEMS INTEGRATION AND DISPLAY


(Chapter 46)

GENERAL
The systems integration display includes:

— Aircraft Mission Management System (AMMS)

— Control and Display System (CDS).

AIRCRAFT MISSION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (AMMS)


The AMMS comprises the components that follow (Figure 7-99):

— Aircraft and Mission Management Computer 1/2 (AMMC1/2)

— Pilot and copilot Multi-function Control and Display Unit 1/2 (MCDU1/2)

— Data Transfer Device (DTD).


These set of equipment are integrated into the air vehicle avionics system and
they contribute to the operation of the aircraft.
The main functional capabilities supported by the AMMS are:

— Helicopter system status monitoring and alarm generation

— Flight management system

— Communication and navigation management/preset

— Digital map capability

— Helicopter system health, usage and diagnostic monitoring

— Helicopter maintenance information management

— Built-in test and redundancy management

— Helicopter data upload/download.


The schematic diagram of the AMMS is shown in the Figure 7-100.

AIRCRAFT AND MISSION MANAGEMENT COMPUTERS (AMMC)


AMMC1 is located in the forward nose bay area in the left (port) side compart-
ment and AMMC2 is located in the right (starboard) side compartment.
The AMMS is a dual redundant computer system capable of data collection
and processing for supporting:

— Vehicle monitoring
The vehicle monitoring function processes the inputs to elaborate in real
time all the necessary operational warnings and cautions in case of an
abnormal or emergency situation with either a visual and/or audio alert for
the aircraft and avionics systems:

— Health and Usage Monitoring (HUMS)


The HUMS is an integrated recording and monitoring system which pro-
vides the user with structural and transmission usage information. The
aims of the HUMS is to improve airworthiness, availability and reduce
costs by detecting, diagnosing and reporting both failures and potential
failures.

— Flight management functions


The functions are to provide navigation management, tactical patterns
management, navigation database management and navigation display
data management.

— Digital map management


One of the major functions of the AMMS is to provide a digital map facility
for navigation display on the MFDs. The AMMS includes two Digital Map
Generators (DMG), one for each AMMC. The system is provided with
symbol generator capability with real time flight plan drawing.

— Control and data exchange with other on board systems.


The AMMC also has the ability to output information received to various
other systems.
All these functions are performed by one AMMC, which is the key component
in the system. The second redundant is added to increase the system reliabil-
ity and fault tolerances.
The two AMMCs are identical and are equipped with the same hardware and
software. The redundancy is managed by the MCDU. The AMMCs are syn-
chronized, using the synchronized line, to ensure that the two computers work
at the same time within the same function using the same data.

MULTI-FUNCTION CONTROL DISPLAY UNIT (MCDU)


There are two MCDUs located in the interseat console, for pilot and copilot
(Figure 7-99).
The MCDU provides the means by which the operator may control and input
information to the aircraft avionics and mission systems. It is the Human-
Machine Interface (HMI) of the AMMS. The MCDUs provide a visual display of
tabular alphanumeric data in the form of display pages (Menus) for the AMMS.

Multi-function control display unit controls and display


Each MCDU has a high contrast rectangular Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and
a set of push buttons (Figure 7-101).
The push buttons are a combination of Line Select Keys (LSK), Fixed Func-
tion Keys (FFK) and Basic Function Keys (BFK).
These buttons are used to navigate through the menu structure for the opera-
tion and control of the various systems and to insert data and call up data on
the display.

where access to a sub-page is represented by the symbols < or >.
Page navigation for a multiple screen menu is via two basic function keys, the
NEXT key to go forward and the PREV key to go back (Figure 7-101).

Data entry

Data entry is via an alphanumeric keypad. An executive caption provides an


identification of confirmation required and the Basic Function Key, EXEC, is
used to preform this action.
Data to be inserted in to a data line is first written to the scratch pad using the
MCDU keyboard. As the characters are entered into the scratch pad, the last
character is highlighted in reverse video. Once entered this data can be cop-
ied from the scratch pad area in to the data line (Figure 7-101).

Toggle

The vertical toggle is associated when the crew are required to select from
more than one alternative. The selection of a minimum of three values are
required for the vertical toggle to be operative. The list of options are displayed
on a lower level page accessed by pushing the appropriate LSK.
The Horizontal Toggle is associated with the selection of two preset variables,
i.e. between "AUTO" and "MAN". In this case the two options will be displayed
separated by a backslash, and the current selection highlighted in a large
green font and the other in a small white font. When selecting the alternative
option the small white font will change to yellow for 1 second then the new
selection is displayed in large green font. The previous selection is now in
small white font.

Error messages

Error messages are displayed in response to the input of incorrect information


or an incorrect selection and are context sensitive to aid the cockpit crew. The
error message is displayed in the scratch pad area as a full width white banner
with the text of the error message shown in reverse video in the centre of this.

The messages only appear on the MCDU on which the data entry or selection
caused the error. The messages relate to:

— Invalid or wrong data

— Illegal value

— Insufficient data Database in use

— Ground or flight conditions

— Incorrect mode or setting

— Functions in progress

DATA TRANSFER UNIT


The Data Transfer Device (DTD) is located at the bottom right hand side of the
interseat console.
The DTD provides a means by which the cockpit crew/maintainer can transfer
data between the DTD and the AMMCs. The DTD guarantees the exchange
of basic helicopter maintenance information between the helicopter and the
logistic support stations.
The DTD also has the capability to internally store data on the Mass Storage
(Solid State Disk (SSD)) to accommodate off-line helicopter systems database
data.

COCKPIT DISPLAY SYSTEM


The aircraft uses a glass cockpit concept, where large Liquid Crystal Displays
(LCD) replace the traditionally analogue dials and gauges.
The aircraft cockpit contains the following CDS components (Figure 7-102):

— Display Unit (DU) (2 MFD and 2 PFD)


The DU are mounted on the main instrument panel and are identified 1 to
4 from left to right. The DU are identical and have the ability to display all
formats, dependent on their installed position.
Each DU is identical in construction and software standard. However,
when installed into the instrument panel each can perform and display dif-
ferent data, formats and images.
— Integrated Standby Instrument System (ISIS)
The ISIS is installed in the centre of the instrument panel above the pilot
and copilot MFD.

— Display Control Panel (DCP)


There are two identical DCP identified as DCP 1 and DCP 2. Both DCP
are located in the cockpit on the forward edges of the interseat console.
The DCP provide the pilots with a method of managing some parameters
on a DU displaying the PFD format. These parameters can also be con-
trolled via the DU bezel keys.
The PFD interfaces with the DCP to receive control inputs for the follow-
ing:
– Selected course (CRS)
– Scrolling CAS list (CAS)
– Barometric pressure correction (BARO)
– Displayed range (RANGE)
– RA low alert (DH).
Three push buttons are provided to enhance the primary flight displays:
– Synthetic Vision System (SVS) - enables/disables synthetic vision sys-
tem.
The SVS is a database derived application which integrates informa-
tion from various sources to provide a computer-generated representa-
tion of the external environment. SVS is based on dedicated Software
that runs in each PFD. It uses information from navigation and flight
sensors (e.g. AHRS, Air Data, Rad Alt, GPS) along with dedicated

FOR TRAINING ONLY Issue 1 Page 7-263


Section 7 AW189 - RFM
System Description Document N°
Systems integration (Chap 46) 189G0290X002

Data Bases (DB) (Obstacles DB, Complete Terrain DB, NAV DB) to
compute surrounding position and generate a visual representation of
the external environment.
– FD SEL - enables/disables flight director bars on the attitude display
– EVS - enhanced vision system (not used).

— Cursor Control Device (CCD)


There are two CCD located in the cockpit, within the interseat console.
The CCD consist of a contoured control panel section and peripheral con-
trols that allow an alternative method to control some display system
menus and functions.
Each CCD has eight push buttons, one dual concentric rotary knob with
push button, a trackball and two four-way switches. These controls allow
the operator to navigate between DU and DU menus and select various
operating parameters.

— Reversionary Control Panel (RCP)


The RCP is located in the cockpit, towards the centre of the interseat con-
sole. The RCP provides reversion switching for AHRS, ADS and DU. The
RCP interfaces DU through two inputs, one for each reversionary control.
The RCP is used to reconfigure the failed air data or attitude data source
(ADS1 and 2, AHRS1 and 2) and the DU in case of detected misleading
information.

— Display Dimming Panel (DDP)


The DDP is located in the cockpit, towards the centre of the interseat con-
sole. The DDP provides the operator with four central brightness rotary
controls, one for each DU. The brightness control provides a dimming
capability compliant with NVG.

— Master Caution/Master Warning lights (MCL/MWL) panel


There are two MCL/MWL panels. They are located in the cockpit, on the
instrument panel above the pilot and copilot DU.
When a new warning/caution message is raised the master warning/cau-
tion lights on both pilot and copilot sides flash.
The caution acknowledgement of all displayed caution alerts is done
through master caution push button on pilot or copilot side.
The warning acknowledgement of all displayed warning alerts is done
through master warning push button on pilot or copilot side.

— Cursor Control Joystick (CCJ)


The CCJ is a five-way switch located on the cyclic stick. The CCJ is a
backup for the CCD cursor movement and enter button, it allows the
same controls with the limitation that movements are limited to four direc-
tions. The CCJ has no interaction with the PFD.
The cockpit display system provides the aircrew with the information neces-
sary for the operation of the aircraft under Visual Flight Rules (VFR) and
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) within civil airspace. It also allows the aircrew to
manipulate and display many flight systems and situations, therefore reducing
the aircrew's work load. The data is shown on four Display Units (DU) on the
main instrument panel. Each DU has a colour LCD which is Night Vision Gog-
gles (NVG) compatible.
The schematic diagram of the CDS is shown in the Figure 7-103.
The CDS is connected to the AMMS via an Avionic Full Duplex (AFDX) data-
bus as the primary bi-directional communication bus for:

— CAS messages

— FMS data

— Radio Nav tuning

— Maintenance data

— Power plant parameters

— Synoptic pages.

– Hover (HOVER) mode (same indication for HSI and MAP modes).

— Crew Alerting System (CAS)


CAS messages are sent by both AMMC to the CDS or internally com-
puted by CDS for some specific or critical messages.
The CAS messages are sorted by priority (warning, caution, advisory, sta-
tus) and time (most recent at the top) and eventually scrolling inputs.
CAS list is scrolled by the pilot PFD by:
– Scrolling inputs directly received from the pilot DCP or pilot CCD
– Scrolling inputs received from the copilot DCP or copilot CCD sent by
the copilot PFD to the pilot PFD

— Primary Vehicle Indication (PVI)


The PVI consists of two indicators (for more details see relevant chap-
ters):
– PI indicating equivalent torque parameter
– Triple tachometer indicating NF and NR parameters.

— Secondary Vehicle Indication (SVI)


The SVI consists of temperature and pressure of engines, transmissions,
hydraulic and fuel parameters. The secondary power plant is displayed
only in flight conditions. The aim of the SVI is to provide to the pilot with
the following power plant indications. For mare detail see the relevant
chapter.

— Radio Frequency Indication (RFI)


The RFI are located in the left/right (depending if pilot/copilot) bottom part
of the PFD screen. The radio NAV RFI is in the middle, between VHF
communication RFI and ATC XPDR RFI. The RFI is an area dedicated to
the radio tuning system.

— AFCS annunciators PFD menu.


A dedicated display area on the PFD provides AFCS status and mode
information. AFCS annunciations are provided for vertical (collective), lat-
eral (yaw/roll) and longitudinal (pitch) axes, six fields in total.

AIRBORNE AUXILIARY POWER


(Chapter 49)

GENERAL
The airborne auxiliary power installed on the helicopter consists of the one
Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) system with the e-AAP 60 unit. The system is pri-
marily intended to deliver electrical power. The APU is based on a gas turbine
engine that drives a generator. A bleed-air source will be made available
through a dedicated single port to feed the aircraft Environmental Control Sys-
tem (ECS).
The APU drives a 25 kVA generator that provides electrical power to the Elec-
trical Power Generation and Distribution System (EPGDS) on the ground and
in flight.
Bleed air is also supplied to the ECS for cockpit and cabin heating on the
ground only.
Bleed-air can only be used in cold day conditions while Outside Air Tempera-
ture (OAT) is below +20 °C on the ground. Bleed-air extraction is not allowed
during main engine start or in flight.
The APU is located in a separated high-level fireproof compartment above the
cabin roof and between the two main engines, aft of the MGB (Figure 7-108).

APU CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS


The APU has a dedicated control panel on the interseat console. The panel
includes also the controls for the APU fire protection system.
The selector mode, allows to select the mode of operation. The APU status
will be displayed in the STATUS display in the panel.

GENERAL
The purpose of the doors is to provide an aerodynamic and aesthetic design.
The doors also allow the ventilation and control of the atmosphere by enclos-
ing the aircraft. They enable the cooling or heating of the cockpit and the pas-
senger compartment. Their aim is also to reduce the noise and provide a a
good working environment for the aircrew.
The helicopter has the following doors:

— Cockpit doors

— Passenger cabin doors

— Cargo compartment doors

— Service and miscellaneous doors.


Refer to Figure 7-116 for the location of the doors.

DOORS CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS


The Crew Alerting System (CAS) window in the PFD provides information of
normal system status and also alerts the crew in case of abnormal condition
for all doors in the aircraft. (Figure 7-116).
On the Multi-function Display (MFD) at PWR PLANT page, the helicopter door
status is displayed by means of a helicopter silhouette with amber or green
lines around corresponding to the door installation. Whenever a door
microswitch detects a door open status, it provides a signal to the aircraft and
Mission Management Computers (AMMCs) to alert the crew with an amber
line. The door closed status is shown by a green line.

(refer to Figure 7-117). One locking latch is located on the top edge of the
door, one on the bottom edge of the door and the third toward the lower por-
tion of the door in line with the handle.
The locking mechanism, provides a two step approach to opening the door
internally and externally. Internally, the door can be opened by pressing the
button located on the handle tip and turning in a downward motion. Externally,
the handle must be lifted and rotated in the upward direction
The doors incorporate two window panels, which provide maximum visibility
during take-off and landing. The crew door windows are of acrylic construc-
tion. The upper transparency is sealed in-situ to the supporting structure using
a rubber strip, which can be removed from inside the helicopter to displace the
window during emergency egress.

PASSENGER CABIN DOORS


The passenger cabin doors are located on either side of main cabin and con-
sist primarily of two carbon fiber skins that are bonded and riveted together.
The passenger cabin door includes two handles (an internal and an external
handle) that operate a roller assembly that locks the door to the aircraft struc-
ture with the related rods.
Each passenger door operates using three trolley assemblies which slide on
three door rails connected to the fuselage side skins. Each passenger door is
also restrained in four positions when fully closed with related locking mecha-
nism.
There are four cabin windows in each side of the helicopter. Two windows
installed in the passenger door and two in the fixed wall of the cabin. All win-
dows can be released outboard in an emergency situation and used as emer-
gency exits to egress the helicopter.

MAIN ROTOR
(Chapter 62)

GENERAL
The main rotor system converts the power generated by the engines through
the main rotor gearbox into sufficient lift force to overcome the weight of the
aircraft to achieve flight. It also transmits main rotor flying control inputs to the
five main rotor blades.
The main rotor system is comprised of three different installations:

— Main rotor blades

— Main rotor head

— Rotating controls.

MAIN ROTOR BLADES


The main rotor blades (Figure 7-120) are made predominantly from composite
materials with only parts such as the titanium and nickel erosion shields, bal-
ance weights and housing, blade attachment and bolt bushes.
The five main blades provide the vertical lift components for all altitude/attitude
changes and for the characteristic longitudinal and lateral control.
The blades are of the sealed type and the main sub components are:

— A nickel and titanium erosion shield is attached to the leading edge of the
blade.

— The leading edge and the trailing edge of the blade root end have fairings.

— Mass-balance weights are installed in the blade root and in a pocket near
the blade tip. These weights are used to balance the blade statically.

— A metallic trim tab of metal is attached to the trailing edge. This trim tab
can be bent and adjusted for rotor tracking.

— The spar with a “D” shaped cross section, consisting of uni-directional


(UD) carbon and glass laminate in the side walls and UD carbon and
glass fibres in the nose.

— At the blade body a tip is bonded to complete the blade. The tip is com-
posed of skins made of glass fiber covering an internal honeycomb filler.

MAIN ROTOR HEAD


The main rotor head transmits the drive from the main gearbox to the main
rotor blades. It also transmits the aerodynamic loads and centrifugal forces
from the main rotor blades to the main-rotor drive shaft. It makes it possible to
change the blade pitch and the flapping and lead-lag movements of the
blades.
The main rotor head consists of (refer to Figure 7-121):

— Hub
The hub is produced in one piece starting from a forging. At the bottom is
attached a Ti flange with the function to connect the scissor drive links
and at the same location the sliding ring is positioned.
The hub is splined internally to be fitted to the mast and so to receive the
torque to rotate, then the rotation is transmitted to the swashplate by the
scissors drive links.

— Tension links
The tension links are composed of graphite cross ply tape to form the anti
torsional box. The windings provides the blade attachment holes. Some
metallic parts are bonded to the tension link and namely the stop support
which provides also the elastomeric bearing positioning location.

— Elastomeric bearings
The elastomeric bearings are composed of an Al inner member, a Ti outer
member and several intermediate rubber and metallic disks. The bearings
allow the blade motions while reacting the centrifugal force.

— Lag dampers
The dampers are of conventional hydraulic type. They connect the pitch
control lever to the damper attachment lugs of the hub.

— Control levers
The control levers are multiple function components. The main function is
to connect the blade to the swashplate so to transmit the pitch change
input. On the same component the damper attachment (blade side) is pro-
vided.

ROTATING CONTROLS
The rotating controls (Refer to Figure 7-122) are the interface between the
fixed part of the flying control system and the rotating parts of the flying control
system (those parts that are fitted to the head) in order to transfer pilot's con-
trol inputs from the fixed controls to the main rotor head and the blades.
The rotating controls consist of the fixed and rotating swashplate, the scissor
assemblies and the pitch change links.
The rotating control system is composed of the following parts:

— Pitch change links


The pitch change links (one for each blade) are connecting the pitch con-
trol lever to the rotating part of the swashplate. They are located on the
leading edge side of the pitch control lever.

— Swashplate assembly
The swashplate assembly consists of two swashplate, the upper swash-
plate is the rotating swashplate and lower swashplate is the stationary
swashplate. They are both connected together and have a duplex ball
type bearing between them. The bearings are grease lubricated and allow
the rotating swashplate to rotate around the no-rotating swashplate. The
fixed swashplate is mounted on a central spherical bearing which allows
both swashplate to tilt. The spherical bearing is located on the swashplate
guide tube which is part of the main gearbox and located below the mast.

— Spherical pivot
The spherical pivot fits on to the top of the main gearbox casing and per-
mits the tilt angle of the two swashplate given by the cyclic pitch input, and
allowing their vertical translation given by the collective pitch input. The
spherical pivot made from aluminium alloy can translate in the vertical
direction along the surface of contact with the four centering plates bolted
on the centering bushing installed on top of the transmission.

— Rotating scissors.
The rotating swashplate is mounted on the fixed swashplate through a
double ball bearing that allows rotation. The rotation is imparted to the
rotating swashplate by two scissor links. Each scissor link comprises two
lever arms attached together by a pivot bolt. The free end of upper lever
arm of a link then connects to a clevis lug on the rotor hub. The free end of
the lower lever arm then connects to a spherical bearing, which is
attached to the rotating swashplate.

MAIN ROTOR DRIVE


(Chapter 63)

GENERAL
The purpose of the main rotor drive system is to provide the mechanical power
transfer from the engines to the rotors and accessories driven by the main
gearbox at the required speed.
The main rotor drive system includes:

— The Main Gearbox (MGB)

— The engine/gearbox couplings

— The lubricating system

— Rotor brake system.


The MGB is attached to the airframe through the mounting and support instal-
lation, which includes the anti-torque beam. The function of the mounting
installation is to secure the main gearbox to the airframe, preventing vertical
and rotational movement and absorbing the torque/lift loads.

MAIN ROTOR DRIVE CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS


The transmission systems are monitored with chip detectors, oil level, oil pres-
sure and oil temperature indicators as well as crew alerting system (CAS)
warning and caution messages to inform the pilot of the operating condition of
the system.
The PWR PLANT format includes the oil pressure and temperature for the
main gearbox (Refer to Figure 7-123).
The crew alerting system window, in the primary flight display format, can
show eleven cautions and two warnings for the main rotor drive system.

MAIN GEARBOX
The main gearbox (Figure 7-124) is the main component that converts drive
from the 2 engines (21420 rpm) into drive to the main rotor, tail rotor drive sys-
tem and accessories.

AW189 - RFM Section 7
Document N° System Description
189G0290X002 Main rotor drive (Chap 63)

The main module is an aluminum case containing a number of gears, shafts


and bearings.
The main components for the main module are:

— No. 1 and No. 2 hydraulic pumps

— AC generators (option)

— No 3 hydraulic pump

— Oil system drain

— Rotor speed sensor

— Low level oil sensor

— Tail rotor drive

— Oil cooler (and fan) assembly

— Oil lubrication pumps (see “Lubricating system” para)

— Magnetic chip detectors.


The upper module of the main gearbox holds the planetary gears and the
main rotor mast. This module is installed on the main case of the gearbox with
washers and nuts which attach it to the studs of the main case.
The input module (Figure 7-124) is driven by the engine output shaft. The unit
changes the axis of rotation and provides the first stage of speed reduction.
The unit also contains a sprag type freewheel unit in both input modules which
allows the MGB to overspeed an engine and still maintain drive to the acces-
sories. The left and the right Input shaft modules are installed on the related
side of the main gearbox, with each module attached to the main casing.
The input modules form part of the distribution network of the MGB oil system
in which the input module retains a small local reservoir that is normally
recharged by the system to provide oil to the gear mesh engagements and
bearings.
First stage reduction is carried out in the input stage via a spiral bevel gear
arrangement. The second stage reduction is also a spiral bevel gear. The third
stage reduction is an epicyclical planetary reduction. The main rotor mast
rotates at 290.45 rpm. The tail rotor take off drives the tail rotor drive shafts
(TRDS) at 4645 rpm.

ENGINE/GEARBOX COUPLINGS
Each engine has its own independent but identical coupling arrangement to
the MGB comprising the left input shaft module and the right input shaft mod-
ule (Figure 7-125). Each one of these includes a drive shaft, torque tube, gim-
bal assembly and an input module.
The coupling allows power transfer from the engines to the MGB, allowing an
angular misalignment in the engine to MGB drive train and the disconnect
engine function.
Power is transmitted from the two engines to the main transmission input
gearboxes via engine input shafts. The function of the input shaft is to transmit
power and motion from the engine output spline to the MGB first reduction
stage.
The rotating torque load from the engine to the MGB is driven by the engine
shaft and the engine shaft is placed inside the gimbal and it is provided with a
flexible coupling capable of accommodating both angular and axial misalign-
ment.

LUBRICATING SYSTEM
The MGB contains an integral forced oil lubrication system with lubrication
pumps, filters and a cooling circuit for temperature / filtration control (refer to
Figure 7-126). The oil ducts, cored in the MGB, supply the oil to a number of
directional oil jets each aimed at gear wheels and bearings and each is fitted
with an internal filter screen.
For the schematic diagram of the main transmission lubricating system refer to
Figure 7-127.
The lubricating system includes:

— Two lubrication pumps


They are mounted on pads slightly lower but on each side of the tail take
off unit.

— Pressure regulating valves


The output from each pump passes through the pressure regulating valve
which maintains a maximum outlet pressure of 5.1 PSI by bypassing
excess oil back to the sump.

— Check valves

— Oil cooler assembly


The MGB oil cooler provides the support for a filtering system (anti-spill
valve, filter cartridge and filter head with differential pressure monitoring)
and monitoring system sensors (temperature/pressure sensors and
switches).

ROTOR BRAKE SYSTEM


The rotor brake system (Figure 7-128) provides the means to stop the main
rotors of the aircraft upon engine shutdown and also to hold the rotors stopped
for a period of up to 8 hours when left in a “parked” condition. Rotor brake
operations are only permitted when both engines are “off” and the rotor speed
(NR) is less than 40%.
The system is manually operated by a rotor brake control lever (RBCL)
located in the cockpit. Moving the RBCL to the braking position, actuates a
dual stage pump in the Rotor Brake Control Module (RBCM) to provide
hydraulic power supplies to pistons located in the rotor brake Assembly
(RBA). These pistons then move brake pads into contact with a rotating rotor
brake disc (RBD) to apply a braking force to the rotors through the Main Gear-
box (MGB) via the tail rotor drive shaft.
The RBCM is installed on the upper deck of the aircraft and it is mechanically
linked to the RBCL. Its functions are to provide the RBA with pressurized
hydraulic power supplies from the Rotor Brake Reservoir Assembly (RBRA)
when the RBA is in the braking position, and the RBCL is moved from the OFF
detent.

TAIL ROTOR
(Chapter 64)

GENERAL
The purpose of the Tail Rotor (TR) system is to produce an aerodynamic force
(tail rotor thrust) to counteract the torque reaction produced by the main rotor
during flight. The amount of tail rotor thrust produced can be controlled and
varied by collectively changing the pitch of the blades through the flight control
system and the tail rotor controls.
The TR system is a four blade articulated rotor with a diameter of 2.9 metres.
The system is composed of the following sub-systems:

— Rotor Blades

— Rotor Head

— Rotating Controls.

ROTOR BLADES
The blades installation is composed of (refer to Figure 7-129):

— Four blades assemblies

— Four blade pins

— Four elastomeric bearings.

— Four blade damper attachments.


The blades are attached to the head installation via the elastomeric bearings.
The blade lead/lag, flap and pitch change movements are permitted by the
elastomeric bearing, which also has the function of transmitting the loads of
the blade to the hub.
The blade spar is D shaped with a carbon, glass composition. The core of the
spar is made from a Rohacell foam moulding.

TAIL ROTOR DRIVE


(Chapter 65)

GENERAL
The tail rotor drive system consists of all the sub-systems and components
that are required to transmit power from the main gearbox to the tail rotor by
means of the tail rotor drive shafts. The sub-systems and components are:

— Tail Rotor Drive Shaft installation (TRDS):


– No. 1 drive shaft
– No. 2 drive shaft
– No. 3 drive shaft
– No. 4 drive shaft.

— Intermediate Gearbox (IGB)

— Tail Gearbox (TGB).

TAIL ROTOR CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS


The indicating system gives the pilot information about the oil temperature of
the IGB and the TGB. Both gearboxes have a sensor installed at the bottom of
the gear casing that monitors the oil temperature. Refer to Figure 7-134 and
Figure 7-135.
Oil temperature sensor is of an analogue type and its output is displayed on
the Primary Flight Display (PFD) under the labels of either IGB or TGB. In the
normal temperature range the indication is green, amber is out of range and
requires monitoring of all IGB / TGB condition indications and a temperature in
the red requires pilot action.
There are twelve cautions associated with the tail rotor drive system, these
are displayed as either acknowledged or not acknowledged messages.
Both the IGB and TGB static low oil level sensors check the level of oil in the
transmission system.
The sensor only operates when the aircraft is on the ground (Weight on
Wheels (WoW) switch interaction) and the rotor speed NR is below 5%.

FOR TRAINING ONLY Issue 1 Page 7-341


Section 7 AW189 - RFM
System Description Document N°
Tail rotor drive (Chap 65) 189G0290X002

The system is managed and tested via the Electrical Control and Display Unit
(ECDU), by accessing the MENU page, TEST sub-page then pressing the
command TEST XMSN OIL level test. Refer to Figure 7-132.
The test lasts seven seconds but the cautions are only displayed on the Multi
Function Display (MFD) during the last two seconds.
When the IGB CHIP caution messages are displayed in the CAS window of
the PFD, the pilot can try to burn the ferrous particle(s) pushing the CHIP
BURN switch located on the TRANSMISSION page on the ECDU. Refer to
Figure 7-132.

TAIL ROTOR DRIVE SHAFT INSTALLATION


Refer to Figure 7-133 for the primary components of the tail rotor drive shaft
installation.
The No. 1 drive shaft is a critical shaft constructed of a titanium flowformed
material for fire resistance and is electron beam welded. The forward end of
the No. 1 drive shaft connects through a TRDS flexible coupling assembly to
the MGB tail take-off flange and passes rearwards between the two engine
exhaust ducts.
The rear end of the drive shaft connects to the No. 2 drive shaft through the
forward bearing housing assembly then a flexible coupling assembly. The for-
ward bearing housing assembly brackets are made from stainless steel.
The No. 2 drive shaft and end fittings, which are welded together, are made
from anodized aluminium alloy and have a paint finish inside and out. At the
rear end, this shaft connects through the rear bearing housing assembly and a
flexible coupling to the forward end of the No. 3 drive shaft.
The rear end of the No. 3 drive shaft is connected to the IGB input flanged
coupling through a flexible coupling. The No. 3 and No. 4 drive shafts are of
the same general construction as the No. 2 drive shaft.

INTERMEDIATE GEARBOX
The IGB is installed on the lower tail-fin structure between the No. 3 and No. 4
drive shafts and it is secured to the tail boom by four attaching bolts. Refer to
Figure 7-134 and Figure 7-133.
The IGB receives the torque from the No. 3 drive shaft through the input slid-
ing adaptor. The sliding adaptor drive is installed in the input pinion.
The IGB is a bevel gearbox that changes the angle of the horizontal drive
shafts to an upward sloping direction (49°) to the TGB and reduces the input
drive shaft speed from 4354 rpm to an output speed of 3323 rpm.

TAIL GEARBOX
The TGB is a single stage reduction unit supporting and driving the tail rotor.
Refer to Figure 7-135 and Figure 7-133.
The TGB is installed on the top of the fin and is securely attached to the verti-
cal stabilizer by a machined bracket and four bolts.
The TGB reduces the input speed of 3389 rpm to the output speed of 1407.3
rpm which is the nominal speed of the tail rotor. Anti-torque loads are transmit-
ted through the TGB into the tail-boom.
The No. 4 drive shaft is connected via a flexible coupling to the TGB input cou-
pling.

ROTORS FLIGHT CONTROL


(Chapter 67)

GENERAL
The rotor flight controls allow the aircrew to control the flight attitude, altitude
and direction of the helicopter. The control is transmitted through mechanical
linkages such as traditional rods and levers. It produces aerodynamic effects
on the helicopter's rotors.
There is no separate control panel and the system status indication is purely
through feedback in the control mechanisms.
The rotor flight control system includes:

— Main rotor control system

— Tail rotor control system

— Servo control system.

ROTORS FLIGHT CONTROL CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS


The mechanical controls of the flight control are the cyclic stick, collective stick
and the pedals. They are mechanically connected to controls. The trim opera-
tion, its related push-buttons and switches are explained in the Chapter 22.
The indication system of the rotor flight controls is supplied by a pressure
switch installed on each main rotor and tail rotor actuator control-valve. Refer
to Figure 7-136.

MAIN ROTOR CONTROL SYSTEM


The main rotor control system includes (Figure 7-137):
— The collective control system
— The cyclic control system
— The mixing control system.

COLLECTIVE CONTROL SYSTEM


The pilot and co-pilot control sticks are connected to a torsion tube located
behind the cockpit seats. The torsion tube is made of carbon fiber. It is sup-
ported at each end by a mounting bracket.
The collective installation includes (Figure 7-137):

— Collective lever
The collective lever is installed on the left side of the pilot seat and on the
left side of the co-pilot seat.
A grip includes function switches and autopilot commands (See Chapter
22).

— Collective fixed friction


A friction clamp (fixed friction) is installed at the left end of the torsion
tube. The fixed friction device is factory set. It is designed to give a consis-
tent feel between control chains and aircraft.

— Collective adjustable friction


The adjustable friction provides a control knob for the pilot. It is located at
the right end of the collective torque tube. It allows a personnel choice on
the friction levels within the controls.

— Collective spring balance (not illustrated)


The balancing spring reacts against the unbalanced weights that operate
on the control mechanism, i.e., the weight of the vertical connecting rods,
etch. They are set during aircraft manufacturing and are not adjustable by
the flight crew.

— Collective trim actuator


The collective trim actuator is installed in parallel with the collective torque
tube. It is located in the floor structure under the co-pilot seat.
The actuator interfaces with the AFCS (see Chapter 22).

Page 7-352 Issue 1 FOR TRAINING ONLY


AW189 - RFM Section 7
Document N° System Description
189G0290X002 Rotors flight control (Chap 67)

— Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT).


Two LVDT are installed at the left end of the collective torsion tube. They
provide the position of the collective lever to the engines and the AFCS.

CYCLIC CONTROL SYSTEM


The cyclic control system is a mechanical, dual linkage system. The cyclic
control is a conventional metallic rod and bellcrank type. This is actuated by
the cyclic control sticks. The cyclic linkage gives the pitch and roll commands
to the main rotor pitch change mechanism through the mixing unit.
The pilot and co-pilot sticks are identical. They make a common input to the
mixing unit.
The cyclic installation includes (Figure 7-137):

— Cyclic fixed friction


The cyclic control mechanism contains fixed friction devices. They are
mounted on the lower cyclic bellcrank. The Fixed Friction devices are fac-
tory set.

— Cyclic spring balance (not illustrated)


The Balancing Springs react against the unbalanced weights that operate
on the control mechanism, i.e., the weight of the vertical Connecting
Rods, etch. They are set during aircraft manufacture and are not adjust-
able by the flight crew.

— Cyclic linear actuators


The pitch and roll linear actuators are 2 channels actuators. Signal inputs
from the auto-pilot (see chap. 22) cause rapid control response from the
actuator. The pitch and roll Linear Actuators are fitted between the upper
cyclic bellcrank and the mixing unit.

— Cyclic trim actuators


The cyclic trim actuators are installed in parallel with the cyclic stick. They
are located in the floor structure under the co-pilot seat. The actuators
interface with the AFCS.

MIXING CONTROL SYSTEM


The mixing control system is a conventional rigid type and comprises a mixing
unit and control tubes.
The mixing unit is located on the cabin under roof (Figure 7-137).
The mixing unit comprises of a number of levers, bearings and slides which
maintain the stability of the fixed flying controls and the correct position of the
main rotor actuators inputs.
The mixing control system receives the push-pull inputs from the cyclic control
system and rotating inputs from the collective control system.
The movements of the input levers cause the extension or the retraction of the
servo-actuators pistons through the relative control tubes. The pistons, then,
tilt the swashplate in order to change the pitch of the main rotor blades.

TAIL ROTOR CONTROL SYSTEM


The tail rotor control system includes (Figure 7-138):

— Pilot and co-pilot yaw pedal assembly


The pilot and co-pilot each have a yaw pedal assembly. The yaw pedal
set has two functions: the yaw control and the wheel brake control. On the
ground, pushing both pedals forwards together applies the wheel brakes.
The trim switch for yaw control uses a micro switch under each pedal.
This trim is active when there is no input from the pilot. Once the switch is
turned on (i.e. when a force is applied to the pedal), the trim stops to work
giving a full control authority to the pilot.

— Pedal fixed friction


The yaw control mechanism contains only a fixed friction device. This is
mounted on the first yaw bellcrank. The fixed friction device is factory set.
It is designed to give a consistent feel between control chains and aircraft,
compensating any bearing friction variations.

— Pedal spring balance (not illustrated)


The balancing spring reacts against the unbalanced weights that operate
on the control mechanism, i.e., the weight of any vertical connecting rods,
etch. They are set during aircraft manufacture and are not adjustable by
the flight crew.

— Pedal trim actuator.


When the AFCS is engaged and trim selected on, the trim actuators can
also provide the crew with “force feel”, which applies an even force as
required by the crew across the control range.

SERVO CONTROL SYSTEM

MAIN ROTOR SERVO-ACTUATORS


There are three identical main rotor servo-actuators: LEFT, RIGHT and FOR-
WARD (LH, RH and FWD). The upper eye end piston is connected to the fixed
swashplate. The lower eye end of the cylinder is connected through a support
to the main gearbox (Figure 7-137, Sheet 3).
The main rotor servo-actuator is a fixed body actuator and comprises two sep-
arate cylinder assemblies. They are bolted together at the actuator centre, and
tandem pistons.
The flow distributor assembly is controlled through an input lever which
receives the input from pilot's flight controls and through a feedback link which
is connected to the output piston.
The actuator is designed to operate normally with two hydraulic systems
which are completely separated within the actuator (Figure 7-139).

TAIL ROTOR SERVO-ACTUATOR


The tail rotor servo-actuator is mounted on the 90° tail rotor gear box through
a mounting flange. It provides the power boost to transmit flight control move-
ments to the tail rotor pitch beam.
The actuator is designed to operate normally with two hydraulic systems
which are completely separated within the actuator. In case of failure of one
system, the level of performance with only one hydraulic system operating
ensures no degradation of the helicopter handling qualities.
The tail rotor actuator is provided with Stability Control Augmentation System
(SCAS) component installed only in one body of the actuator. The SCAS is
installed in the section fed by hydraulic circuit 2.

POWER PLANT
(Chapter 71)

GENERAL
The power plant installation includes:

— The engine installation

— The engine cowling installation

— The engine firewall installation

— The engine mount installation

— The engine air intakes installation

— The engine drain installation.


The two engines are housed in a compartment located aft of the transmission.
A front and rear firewall enclose the engine compartment and a central firewall
divides it in two parts, thus separating the two engines. The engines are pro-
tected by cowlings and are attached to the relevant mount at three points.
The engines are equipped with drain tubes which protrude from the underside
of the helicopter and allow the drainage of the fuel and lubricant.

ENGINE INSTALLATION
The CT7-2E1 engine is a compact, lightweight gas turbine engine with a sea
level power output in the 2,100 horsepower range.
The engine incorporates a five stage axial/one stage centrifugal compressor,
an annular combustor, a two stage, air cooled, gas generator turbine and a
two stage un-cooled power turbine with a drive shaft extending forward coaxi-
ally through the gas generator. The forward end of the drive shaft is con-
nected, via a spline, to the engine output drive assembly.
The compressor has one stage of variable inlet guide vanes and two stages of
variable stator vanes that, together with an engine mounted start bleed valve,
ensure efficient and surge free engine operation through the entire operating
range. An integral inlet particle separator protects the engine from foreign
object damage and the ingestion of sand and dust.

ENGINE COWLING INSTALLATION


Each engine bay is covered by a cowling (Figure 7-141) which provides main-
tenance access. The cowlings for engines 1 and 2 are hinged at the bottom
and, when open, provide working platforms.
The APU is covered by an upper hinged cowling and a rear fairing which
slides aft to give access.

ENGINE FIREWALL INSTALLATION


Each engine is in a "bay" which consists of a set of titanium firewalls and a
metallic cowling with a titanium inner protective skin (Figure 7-142).
The APU bay firewalls are made of titanium and the complete installation
including joints, fittings and seals are fireproof.
Each engine and APU bay is equipped with an independent engine fire warn-
ing system. The fire warning system provides a cockpit signal when flames or
excessive bay temperatures are detected.

ENGINE MOUNT INSTALLATION


The engine mount installation is designed to allow for the relative movement
between the engines and the MGB during rotor engagement (Figure 7-143).
Each engine is connected to the helicopter airframe by means of a five attach-
ment point iso-static structure, one at the front and four at the rear.
The front mounting of each main engine consists of a torque tube which is
bolted to the output face of the engine. The forward end of the torque tube is,
in turn, attached through a "gimbal" ring called the cross-head to the input
housing of the MGB. The torque tube carries horizontal and torsional loads,
but very little of the engine's weight.
The rear engine mounts provide support through a system of link assemblies
which interface with the engine casing via 4 dedicated lugs. The link arrange-
ment allows for both axial and radial thermal expansion of the engine. All the
links are machined from titanium and are therefore fireproof by design.

ENGINE AIR INTAKES INSTALLATION


The air is provided to each engine by means of a dedicated air inlet (Figure 7-
144).

ENGINE CONTROLS
(Chapter 76)

GENERAL
The engines are equipped with a dual-channel Full Authority Digital Electrical
Control (FADEC) system. The FADEC system is composed of the Engine
Electronic Control Unit (EECU) and a Fuel Management Unit (FMU). The
EECU contains all computations and control laws and has the full authority to
vary all control inputs to the engine throughout their full range.

ENGINE POWER CONTROL SYSTEM


The engine power control system includes:

— The two Electronic Engine Control Unit (EECU)

— The two Fuel Management Unit (FMU)

— The engine control panel.


Refer to Figure 7-145 for the schematic diagram of the engine power control
system.
The system dictate the operation of the engine, the control panel inputs man-
ual commands engine whilst the EECU carries out the commands and normal
operating automatically without intervention from the operator.
Both the control panel and the EECU integrate with the aircraft systems by
means of the Aircraft and Mission Management System (AMMS) for indicat-
ing, control and monitoring purposes.
Two Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT) are installed at the left
end of the collective torsion tube. They provide the position of the collective
lever to the engines and the AFCS. They are used to provide the power antic-
ipation to the engine.

ELECTRONIC ENGINE CONTROL UNIT (EECU)


There are two EECUs in the helicopter.
Each EECU is a dual-channel digital electronic unit that, together with the
related FMU and a network of sensors, controls the engine gas generator and
power turbine speeds in response to the load demanded by the rotor system.

The EECU contains all computations and control laws and has the full author-
ity to vary all control inputs to the engine throughout their full range.
The basic system architecture is dual channel with electrical redundancy of all
critical functions. This results in a system that after virtually any single
detected electrical failure which is operational, giving a very high mission reli-
ability and ease of pilot operation.

FUEL MANAGEMENT UNIT (FMU)


The FMUs are installed in the accessory gearbox of each engine. The FMU is
an electro-mechanical unit which governs the fuel flow through the entire oper-
ational envelope of the engine. The input parameters of the FMU are the
related EECU signals and the ambient pressure.
The FMU has a fuel pump, which delivers high pressure fuel to the metering
portion of the unit.

ENGINE POWER CONTROLS SYSTEM CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS


Refer to Figure 7-146.
The several warning and caution messages inform the pilots about specific

ENGINE INDICATING
(Chapter 77)

GENERAL
The engine indicating system consists:

— Controls in the cockpit to request engine conditions, i.e.; control panel.

— Controls that govern the operation of the engine, i.e.; Engine Electronic
Control Unit (EECU).
Together the controls system dictate the operation of the engine, the control
panel inputs manual commands engine whilst the EECU carries out the com-
mands and normal operating automatically without intervention from the oper-
ator.
Engine performance is mainly achieved by controlling engine gas generator
speed (Ng), inter-turbine temperature (T4.5), torque (Tq), power turbine speed
(Np), helicopter rotor speed (Nr), with engine fuel flow and scheduling com-
pressor variable geometry/compressor start bleed valve positions.

ENGINE INDICATING SYSTEM


Engine primary and secondary information will be displayed on the cockpit dis-
play system.
The PFD format includes the following information (Figure 7-147):

— Ng - Gas generator speed

— Np/Nf - Free power turbine speed

— Tq - Torque

— ITT - Inlet Turbine Temperature

— Oil Pressure

— Temperature

— PI - Power Indicator

— Nf /Nr Tacho.

HEATING SYSTEM
The heating and forced ventilation system consists of a heating system mixing
bleed-air from the engines or Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) with external ambi-
ent air and a ventilation system which takes ambient air from outside the air-
craft.
The heating system includes (Figure 7-149):
— Engines shut-off
The engine shut-off valve (attached to the firewall in the engine bay) shuts
off the supply of engine bleed-air to the heating system when it is not
required, in case of overheat or a One Engine Inoperative (OEI) condition.

— APU shut-off
The APU shut-off valve (attached to the bleed duct in the APU bay) shuts
off the supply of APU bleed-air to the heating system when it is not
required, in case of overheat or when the APU is failed.

— Jet Pump
The jet pump assembly is comprised of a composite Venture mixing sec-
tion and a stainless steel bleed-air injector.
The jet pump assembly is installed on the ceiling of the rear fuselage and
interfaces with the Temperature Control Valve (TCV), the Low Pressure
(LP) ambient air intake duct, the temperature sensor, the overheat ther-
mal switch and the LP heating distribution pipe work.
The purposes of the jet pump are:
— To provide fresh airflow into the helicopter, using engine or APU bleed-
air to induce ambient airflow into fresh air intake
— to provide a flow of controlled temperature air for heating and demist-
ing purposes. The engine bleed-air expands to LP in the mixing section
of the assembly.

— Check Valve
There are three check valves installed at the connection between the
engines and APU bleed-air ducts to prevent reverse flow to APU or
engine bleed ports.

— Heating Control Box.


The Heating Control Box (HCB) is installed in the rear fuselage, left-hand
side of the baggage area and provides control of the heating system in
AUTO mode.

The heating control box, together with the control panel, controls the nor-
mal operation of the heating system in AUTO mode. The HCB also per-
forms system monitoring and provides the pilot with warnings of overheat
conditions. These functions are achieved using air temperature data mon-
itored by a Duct Temperature Sensor (DTS) and an Overheat Tempera-
ture Switch (OTS). The data from the DTS and the selection on the control
panel is used by the HCB to regulate the TCV accordingly to obtain the
desired supply temperature.
In manual mode (MAN HTR selection) the HCB is by-passed and the TCV
and heating air temperature are directly controlled by the control panel via
use of the '+' and '-' positions on the MAN HTR switch.
Refer to Figure 7-150 for schematic diagram.
The mixed air exiting the jet pump is delivered to the cockpit and cabin
through flexible and rigid ducts.
The heating system can also utilize the cockpit ventilation system fans to
assist in driving the air to the transparency diffusers and upper jaspers, for
demising purposes. Refer to para “Forced ventilation system”.
The control panel and heater control box control the normal operation of the
heating system.

HEATING DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM


The heating distribution system components are shown in the Figure 7-149.

— High Pressure Distribution Ducts


The function of the high pressure ducking is to route air from the compres-
sor bleed ports of the two engines and APU to the jet pump. The ducking
interfaces with the shut-off valve, the check valves and the temperature
control valve.
The bleed flow is limited by the size of the engine and APU bleed ducts
and integral components. Flexible sections in each pipe accommodate
thermal and mechanical movement. The bleed line sections between the
engines/APU and the shut-off are installed in the engine and APU bay
and are therefore subject to fire zone conditions.

— Temperature Control Valve


The temperature control valve is an electrically actuated valve which con-
trols the flow of engines or APU bleed-air from the high pressure ducking
to the injector of the jet pump. The valve is fitted directly to the top of the

jet pump assembly mounted on the rear fuselage ceiling and electrically
interfaces with the heater control box and cockpit control panel.

— Duct Temperature Sensor


The duct temperature sensor monitors the mixed air temperature down-
stream of the jet pump mixing unit.

— Low Pressure Distribution Ducts.


The mixed air exiting the jet pump is delivered to the cockpit and cabin
through flexible and rigid ducts of similar construction to the ventilation
ducts. The heating air is routed down the rear fuselage cabin bulkhead
and forwards under the fuel tanks to the cabin where it divides into two
ducts running in parallel along the centre of the aircraft under the cabin
floor, one for the cockpit and one for the cabin.
The left (port) duct provides the cabin heating air, feeding fixed outlet dif-
fusers in the aft and forward corners of the cabin. The right (starboard)
duct provides the cockpit supply with the air being ducked forward along
the aircraft under the cabin floor before integrating with the cockpit ventila-
tion system in the cockpit centre console.

ECS DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM


The ECS distribution system components are shown in the Figure 7-152.

— Cockpit Mixer Ducts


There are two cockpit mixer ducts located respectively on the bottom part
of each pilot and co-pilot evaporator pack.
Their purpose is to allow air coming from the external ram air to mix with
the cockpit recirculating air and the heating system and deliver it to the
evaporator fan.

— Cabin Mixer Ducts


There are two cabin mixer ducts located on each side of the upper deck
VCS pack. Their purpose is to allow air coming from the external ram air
to mix with the cabin recirculating air and to deliver it to the evaporator
fan.

— Distribution Ducts
From the cabin evaporator assembly, air is distributed to the cabin by
means of two ducts, one on each side of the upper deck, which interface
with flexible rubber pipes in the cabin roof space providing the air to the

FOR TRAINING ONLY Issue 1 Page 7-393


Section 7 AW189 - RFM
System Description Document N°
OES 189G0290X002

passenger air outlets in the central cabin roof area and three fixed diffus-
ers along each side of the cabin roof.

FORCED VENTILATION SYSTEM


Forced ventilation is comprised of two separate sub-systems: one for the
cockpit and one for the cabin. Refer to Figure 7-151.
External ambient air is drawn in by the ventilation fans through air intakes.
The role of the forced ventilation system is to provide an operationally viable
level of comfort within the cockpit and cabin using external ambient air to cool
the general cockpit and cabin environment and assist with cockpit windscreen
dimmest.

INTEGRATED ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL SYSTEM


The integrated environmental control system utilizes the basic heating and
forced ventilation system but additionally comprises the vapor cycle system,
including all the sub-components and equipment necessary (compressors,
condensers, valves, fans, refrigerant fluid piping) to provide cooled and condi-
tioned air to the cockpit and cabin compartments via the relevant distribution
ducking.
The integrated environmental control system includes (Figure 7-152):

— Evaporator fans (cockpit and cabin)

— Evaporator assembly (cockpit and cabin)

— Thermostatic expansion valve (cockpit and cabin)

— Thermal switch (cockpit and cabin)

— Condenser heat exchanger (cockpit and cabin)

— Condenser fan (cockpit and cabin)

— Temperature sensor (cockpit and cabin)

— Air conditioning control box (ACCB) (ACCB1 and ACCB2 - cockpit and
cabin)
The cooling function is achieved with two vapor cycle systems, one for the
cockpit and the other for the cabin. Air is drawn in via the ambient and recircu-
lated air intakes and fans, as already described, and passes through the evap-
orator assemblies and into the cockpit and cabin low pressure distribution

as Freon.
The cockpit and cabin vapor cycle systems operate independently of one
another (each system having its own ACCB) but are controlled via the single
selection from the cockpit control panel temperature selector (in AUTO).
If PAX fans are selected OFF, the cabin VCS does not operate and similarly if
CREW fans are selected OFF the cockpit system does not operate, regard-
less of the AIR COND position being selected on the AIR COND/HEATER
selector.

EXTERNAL HOIST

GENERAL
The Goodrich external hoist P/N 8G2591F00111 consists of a hoist unit
installed on a mounting frame on the right side of the cabin. Refer to Figure 7-
152A.
The external hoist installation includes:

— Electric hoist motor and winch assembly

— Pilot control panel

— Hoist operator (HO) control panel

— Control pendant

— Hoist operator (HO)-ICS control panel

— Hoist operator (HO) safety harness

— Electrical cable cutter (Primary Quick Release System (PQRS)) for emer-
gency use

— Manual cable cutter for emergency use (Backup Quick Release System
(BQRS))

— Hoist operator (HO) searchlight


— Step bar protection.
The external hoist system is used for rescue operations and to lift and lower
attached loads or Human External Cargo (HEC)/personnel in areas where the
helicopter cannot land.
The hoist unit contains 290 ft (88.4 m) of usable cable and may lower / lift a
maximum load of 600 lb (272 kg).
The cable speed for hoisting raising and lowering is variable from 0 to 250 fpm
(74.4 m/min) with maximum load.
The external hoist system also comprises roof mounted attachment points to
secure the harness to, a manual cable cutter and on the right side of the cabin
door, the step protection pad to prevent damage to the hoist cable if it comes
in contact with the step.
In the event of a failure of the electrical cable cutter system, the cable may be
cut with the manual cutter installed under the HO seat or in a position easily
accessible to the HO.

The HO searchlight aids the aircrew during SAR operations. The hoist light is
installed on the bottom right side of the fuselage.
The hoist light provides the maximum illumination of the hoist hook at the end
of the hoist cable when it is extended at a nominal distance of 10 ft (3 m).
With a nominal hover height of 70 ft (21 m) the hoist hook is located at the rear
of the projected hoist light beam. In this condition, the shadow of the hook dur-
ing the extension procedure gives a visual reference for the HO.

EXTERNAL HOIST CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS


When the PWR ON/OFF switch, on the pilot control panel, is set to ON, the
external hoist system is energized. The raising and lowering of the hoist load
can be controlled by the HO using the Control Pendant thumbwheel, which
provides control of the variable cable speed. Refer to Figure 7-152B, item 13.
The length of cable deployed is shown on the 3 digit display on the pendant. A
display format xxx means the cable payout is in feet while yy.y means the
cable payout is in meters. The pilot can also control the operation of the res-
cue hoist at a fixed cable speed of 100 fpm (32.8 m/min) using the hoist con-
trol switch on the collective grip. Both controls automatically slow down and
stop the electric motor at the cable extremes.
The pilot hoist control overrides the HO control. The hoist is provided with a
cable foul protection system which automatically stops the motor if the cable is
not correctly wound onto the drum. In this condition, the HOIST CBL FOUL
caution message comes in view on the MFD displays.
The Primary Quick Release System, an electrical cable cutter system, is avail-
able to the pilot and copilot, via a guarded HOIST CUT switch on the collective
grips and to the HO, via a guarded CUT switch on the HO control panel in the
cabin.
The HO audio panel, controls the HO communication with other crew mem-
bers. The HO plugs his headset into the HO control panel HEADSET socket.
The HO operator can use the VOX or the PTT trigger switch on the HO pen-
dant. The PTT is a two-stage trigger-switch. When the HO pushes the PTT to
the first position, he/she connects to the helicopter intercom system. When the
HO pushes the PTT to the second position (Radio) he/she can speak with the
ground personnel through a local-area wireless radio.
The pendant also includes a Winchman Trim Mode caption and a five position
switch to give the HO limited lateral and longitudinal ground speed control
when in HOV Mode and selected by the pilot. This function, however, is cur-
rently inoperative.

EMERGENCY FLOTATION SYSTEM


The emergency flotation system includes: (Refer to Figure 7-153)

— Forward float assembly (left and right)

— Aft float assembly (left and right)

— Left inflation system

— Right inflation system

— Emergency flotation system distribution hoses

— Four emergency float switches

— Flotation control panel

AW189 - RFM Section 7
Document N° System Description
189G0290X002 OES

nylon fabric bonded to an external layer of polyurethane. Life lines are


installed on the float to let persons hold onto the helicopter in an emergency.
Each compartment of the forward float has the following components:

— Non-return gas-inlet swivel-valve

— Inflate and deflate valve (also operating as overpressure relief valve)


The aft float assembly is installed in a compartment in the left and in the right
side of the rear fuselage. Each aft float assembly includes a support structure,
a flotation bag, a closure system, the fittings, the gas distribution assembly
and the inflation system.
The deflated bag is folded in the support structure and retained by the closure
system. The closure system is made of a composite material and is fixed to
the float structural support by means of breaking screws.
Each aft float, when deployed, has the shape of a truncated cone with hemi-
spherical ends. It is divided into four independent compartments. The float is
made of nylon fabric bonded to an external layer of polyurethane. Life lines
are installed on the float to let the persons hold on the helicopter in an emer-
gency.
Each compartment of the aft float has the components that follow:

— Non-return gas-inlet swivel-valve

— Inflate and deflate valve (also operating as overpressure relief valve).


The inflation system includes a inflation bottle, a manifold, an electrical con-
nector, a discharge valve, a filler valve and a pressure gauge. The discharge
valve is electrically operated and is actuated by means of a Shape Memory
Alloy (SMA) device. The bottle is filled with helium under pressure.
Each inflation system is connected to the helicopter wiring harness through an
electrical connector. Each system is directly connected to the aft float bag
through a hose and is directly connected to the aft float bag through a hose
and is also connected to the forward float assemblies through the distribution
hose lines that extend along the helicopter.
Four emergency float switches (water sensors) are located on the external
lower surfaces of the aircraft structure, in such a position that their lower sur-
face will get in contact with the water in case of ditching. Each sensor is con-
nected through the electrical harness to the flotation control panel and to the
valves of the inflation system. This is considered to be the primary means of
the emergency flotation system activation. It is completely automatic when the
master switch on the floatation control panel is set to the ARMED position.

FOR TRAINING ONLY Issue 1 Page 7-399


Section 7 AW189 - RFM
System Description Document N°
OES 189G0290X002

The flotation control panel is installed on the left side of the interseat console
in the cockpit.
In the rear side of the flotation control panel there are two electrical connec-
tors. On the front panel there are installed the OFF/ARMED master switch, the
TEST button and the test lights.
In the event of failure of the automatic actuation method, the aircrew can com-
mand floats inflation through guarded push button switches located on both
pilot and copilot collective grips. When the guard is raised, the pilot or copilot
can push a button to inflate the four float assemblies.

Operation
The two forward float assemblies and the two aft float assemblies prevent the
sinking of the helicopter after a ditching.
The float assemblies inflate and deploy at the external side of the helicopter
when the two bottles release the gas (helium) in pressure. The gas is released
when two adjacent emergency float switches get in contact with water, or, in
case of failure, when the pilot or the copilot operates the FLOAT switch on the
collective stick grip. The gas flows from the bottles to the flotation bags
through the pipes and the hoses of the gas distribution system.
The emergency flotation system operates only when it is in the armed condi-
tion. The system must be set in the armed condition when the helicopter is in
flight above the water. To set the system in the armed condition, it is neces-
sary to set the FLOAT switch on the flotation control panel to ARMED.
The signal from the water sensors or from the pilot/copilot FLOAT switch on
the collective grips is sent to the flotation control panel and from this to the
inflation valve with the SMA device that initiate the gas release to inflate the
float bags.
If, during flight, the FLOAT ARM caution message illuminate on the MFDs
(when the FLOAT switch on the control panel is set to OFF), there is a fault in
the emergency flotation system.
The check of the correct operation of the electrical circuits that operate the dis-
charge valve on the inflation systems can be done with the TEST button on
the flotation control panel. When the TEST button is pushed, the LH SYS 1,
LH SYS 2, RH SYS 1 and RH SYS 2 lights shall illuminate.

Flotation control panel


The master switch on the flotation control panel must be set in ARMED posi-
tion to be able to receive the signal from the flotation switches (water sensors)
and from the FLOAT switches on the pilot/copilot collective grips.
The TEST switch of the control panel is used to verify the continuity of the
electrical circuit from the control panel to the inflation valves.

Float switches
Two adjacent float switches shall get in touch with water to send the electrical
signal to the control panel.

Relay K301 and relay K302


The two relays set the emergency flotation system to the armed condition.
When the relays are armed (master switch on the control panel in ARMED
position), they connect the SMA devices directly to the flotation control panel.

Emergency flotation system controls and displays

The pilot and copilot can control the emergency flotation system with the flota-
tion control panel located in the interseat console and with the pilot and copilot
collective grip. Refer to Figure 7-154.

EMERGENCY LIFE RAFT SYSTEM


In the emergency procedures, if the helicopter lands on water, the personnel
can evacuate the airframe into the life raft. The raft is sized in order to provide
sufficient capacity for 2 crew and 19 passengers.
The emergency-life raft system includes: (Refer to Figure 7-155)

— Left and right life rafts

— Left and right control cables.


The left life raft is installed on the left helicopter sponson. The right life raft is
installed on the right helicopter sponson.
Each life raft includes a container, a front fairing, a raft assembly and an acti-
vation system.
The container is made of a rigid construction of composite material.
The raft assembly includes a life raft, an inflation system and a survival pack.
The folded and not inflated life raft is contained in a special bag that has a
shape that is the same as the internal shape of the container.
The life raft has two one-compartment octagonal buoyancy-chambers and an
internal floor, which cannot be inflated. A two-compartment inflatable fender/
arch-tube that supports a canopy is installed around the external side of the
life raft. A yellow canopy is attached to the fender/arch tube to give protection
from bad weather to the persons on board. The fender/arch-tube and the can-
opy are contained in a stowage cover.
Two boarding ramps are attached to the fender/arch-tube on two opposite
sides of the life raft. Each chamber has a valve that can be used to inflate the
chamber with a pump included in the survival pack, if necessary. A beacon
and a battery power unit with a switch are installed on the fender/arch-tube.
They operate manually. The life raft has also the equipment that follows:

— A sea anchor drogue

— A rescue line and rings

— A sea lamp

— Two paddles.
The left control cable is installed on the left side of the helicopter between the
cockpit and the life raft on the left sponson. It connects the activation handle to
the operating mechanism on the cylinder of the inflation system. The activa-
tion handle is installed on the internal lining between the left windshield and
the left cockpit door.

Page 7-406 Issue 1 FOR TRAINING ONLY


AW189 - RFM Section 7
Document N° System Description
189G0290X002 OES

The installation of the right control cable on the right side of the helicopter is
the same of the left control cable.

INFLATION SYSTEM
The primary component of the inflation system is an inflation cylinder, which
has an inflation valve, an operating mechanism, an inflation hose, a T-piece
and non-return valves. The cylinder contains 2.63 kg of nitrogen at a pressure
of 27579 kPa (4000 psi) at +20 °C. The nitrogen pressure is shown on a pres-
sure gauge installed on the cylinder head. The gauge can be seen through a
window. The cylinder is contained in a pocket attached to the life raft.

Operation
The life raft activation is independent for the right and left life raft through the
manual mode. There are two modes of activation. In the cockpit, the pilot and
copilot can do the activation thought the remote handle installed on the pilot
and copilot forward door frame.
Outside the helicopter, with the handle installed externally on the front plate of
the container. An access cover on the front fairing gives the access to the han-
dle. The activation handle is connected to the inflation system through the
control cables and a quick-disconnect connector.
When a handle is operated, the calibrated pin on the cylinder head (of the
inflation cylinder) breaks and the nitrogen gas starts to inflate the life raft. Then
the three closing belts break and the container cover opens.

LIFE JACKETS
Life jackets are intended for use by all passengers and crew for emergency
flotation in the event of aircraft evacuation over water. In most configurations
the jackets are positioned under the seats, however some seating layouts may
require them to be positioned in an alternative location, but in close proximity
to the seat. Each life jacket is equipped with:

— CO² cylinder and pull tab - the primary inflation method


— Oral inflation tube - for topping up and a backup method of inflation
— Water activated survivor locator light - to assist in locating survivors at
night.

FORWARD AND AUXILIARY FUEL TANKS

GENERAL
The forward and auxiliary fuel tanks includes, refer Figure 7-156:

— Forward fuel tank kit P/N 4F2810F00212

— Auxiliary fuel tank kit P/N 8G2810F00111.

Forward fuel tank kit


The forward fuel tank includes the Number 1 and the Number 2 forward tanks.
The Number 1 forward tank is installed on the left side of the bottom fuselage
structure (between the STA X3800 and STA X4800) under the cabin floor.
The Number 1 forward tank is anti-crash, bladder tank and non-self-sealing.
The Number 2 forward tank is installed on the right side of the bottom fuselage
structure (between the STA X3800 and STA X4800) under the cabin floor.
The Number 2 forward tank is anti-crash, bladder tank and non-self-sealing.
Refer to Section 1 Limitations of the Supplement 7 for the fuel capacities of
the forward tanks.
At the bottom of the Number 1 and Number 2 forward fuel tanks there is a
sump flange (Number 1 and Number 2). Each sump flange includes a transfer
line hose, a drain valve, a dump valve and a fuel gauge probe.
The drain valves (Number 1 and Number 2) are used to drain the water (for
daily water sampling checks) from the related forward tank.
The dump valves (Number 1 and Number 2) are used in defueling operation of
the Number 1 and Number 2 forward tanks.
The Number 1 and Number 2 probes are installed on the sump flange on the
bottom of the (Number 1 and Number 2) forward tanks.
The tanks are connected directly to the main fuel tanks via flexible hoses. The
fuel is transferred from the forward tanks to the main tanks by two ejectors
(one for each tank) whose motive flow is supplied by the main fuel pumps
when operating. Each fuel gauge probe is connected to the fuel contents mea-
suring system.
Refuelling of the forward tanks occurs automatically when the main tanks are
refuel. This occurs due to the physical layout of the tanks and no operator con-
trol is required.

TRAFFIC ADVISORY SYSTEM II (TCAS II)

GENERAL
The Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS II) P/N 8G3450F00111, aids
the flight crew by detecting the presence of nearby aircraft (Traffic Advisory -
TA) and providing a warning (Resolution Advisory - RA) when the proximity of
the aircraft is determined to be a safety threat. The TCAS II transmits Mode S
transponder interrogations signals and monitors all replies.
The TCAS includes, (Figure 7-157):

— TCAS receiver/transmitter
The TCAS receiver/transmitter is installed on the left side of the nose bay
compartment.
Two locking knobs hold and safety the TCAS receiver/transmitter and its
interface connector to the mounting tray. In front of the module there is a
handle that lets the installation and removal easier.
The TCAS mounting tray is equipped with a cooling fan, supplied by the
same 28 V dc line of the TCAS Unit.

— TCAS top antenna


The TCAS top antenna is installed in the nose avionic bay above the top
plate. Four bolts attach the TCAS top antenna to the nose avionic bay.

— TCAS bottom antenna


The TCAS bottom antenna is installed on the rear side of the bottom fuse-
lage. Four bolts attach the TCAS bottom antenna to the nose avionic bay.
The schematic diagram of the TCAS is shown in the Figure 7-158.

TCAS RECEIVER/TRANSMITTER
The TCAS receiver/transmitter transmits Mode S transponder interrogations
signals and monitors all replies. Internal processing determines the range,
bearing, and altitude of each replying (nearby) aircraft.
This lets the TCAS receiver/transmitter to locate all transponder equipped air-
craft within range. If an aircraft is on a conflicting path, the TCAS receiver/
transmitter generates a traffic advisory (intruder alert), resolution advisory
(recommended vertical escape maneuver), and/or synthesized-voice audio
outputs.

FOR TRAINING ONLY Issue 1 Page 7-413


Section 7 AW189 - RFM
System Description Document N°
OES 189G0290X002

If the intruder aircraft also has a Mode S transponder, the TCAS receiver/
transmitter uses the own helicopter transponder to transmit collision avoid-
ance data to that aircraft.
This Mode S link allows the two TCAS systems to coordinate conflict resolu-
tion maneuvers between aircraft.
The TCAS receiver/transmitter contains circuits for signal receiving, transmit-
ting, processing (including computing), and interfacing with other components
of the TCAS system.
A frequency source generates 1030 MHz for the transmitter output and
receiver local oscillator.
The RF output is applied to top/bottom antenna through the diplexer.
The receiver has four individual RF and IF sections, one for each of the four
directional segments of the antenna. At the receiver detector, the signals are
combined to allow received-signal bearing information to be determined. This
information is passed to the signal processor.
A signal processor and CPU (central processing unit) provide the control and
data analysis necessary for the TCAS receiver/transmitter operation.
The CPU generates the traffic and resolution advisories for the output to the
cockpit displays. The input/output interface circuits are the ARINC429 discrete
and analog circuits required to communicated with external TCAS equipment.
The TCAS II transceiver is supplied by 28 Vdc MAIN BUS 4 through a dedi-
cated solid state distribution output.

TCAS TOP AND BOTTOM ANTENNA


The TCAS top and bottom directional antennas transmit and receive the RF
interrogation signal of the TCAS II operation. Each antenna lets the system to
compute bearing to a target aircraft. The antennas contain four passive
antenna located at cardinal (90 degree) points on the assembly. Each antenna
is connected to the TCAS receiver/transmitter with a coaxial cable.

XPDR TCAS MODE page


This page lets the XPDR and TCAS operative modes as follow:

— STBY

— ALT OFF

— ALT ON

— TA ONLY

— TA / RA.

MFD and PFD indications


The TCAS intruder symbols are displayed in 360 MAP and ARC map format
and are displayed over all other symbology. The display unit is able to manage
up to 30 TCAS intruders as sent by TCAS processor.
There are four types of traffic symbols, based on threat level. They are: Reso-
lution Advisory (RA) Traffic Advisory (TA) Proximate Traffic (PT) Other Traffic
(OT) No Bearing Traffic (NBA) The classification of the targets is done by the
TCAS processor and the display representation is:

— The RA symbol is a red solid square

— The TA symbol is a circular shaped and yellow filled color. The TA symbol
shall be positioned to depict a threat aircraft's relative bearing and dis-
tance from own aircraft.

— The PT symbol is a filled cyan diamond. The PT symbol shall be posi-


tioned to depict a proximate aircraft's relative bearing and distance from
own aircraft

— The OT symbol is a cyan unfilled diamond and positioned to depict the


other aircraft's relative bearing and distance from own aircraft. OT symbol
are considered as non-threat aircraft. Refer to Figure 7-160 and Figure 7-
161.
The RA and TA targets which are off scale will be indicated by placing one half
of the symbol at the edge of the active display area. The half symbol will be
labeled normally. For each TCAS intruder, a Vertical Trend Arrow is displayed
beside the intruder symbol to provide vertical sense indication (Level Flight,
Climbing, Descending).
The arrow points down for descending traffic and up for ascending traffic.

When relative altitude of an intruder aircraft is available, a data tag indicating


relative altitude shall be displayed with the corresponding traffic symbol. When
the ABS selection is active and absolute altitude of an intruder aircraft is avail-
able, a data tag indicating absolute altitude shall be displayed with the corre-
sponding traffic symbol.
The data tag will be centered above the traffic symbol preceded with a "+" if
the intruder aircraft is above own aircraft's altitude and centered below the
traffic symbol preceded with a "-" if the intruder aircraft is below own aircraft's
altitude. If the intruder is at own aircraft's altitude, the data tag is centered
above the symbol without any polarity sign.
In case the intruder bearing is not available (No Bearing Traffic), the TCAS
system will represent the traffic like alphanumeric annunciation. This is appli-
cable only for TA and RA. In detail the TCAS No Bearing Advisory annuncia-
tions (NBA) consist of the following data fields displayed in yellow and medium
font in the bottom right corner of the compass symbol separated by spaces:

— “TA” legend

— Range in NM with a resolution of 0.1 NM

— Relative Altitude in hundreds of feet

— Vertical Trend Arrow


For example: “TA 6.5 -04” represents an intruder with a TA advisory at 6.5
Nautical miles with a relative altitude of -400 feet and climbing.
The NBA annunciation for Resolution Advisory are represented in red. Refer
to Figure 7-161.

HELICOPTER TERRAIN AWARENESS AND WARNING SYS-


TEM (HTAWS)

GENERAL
The HTAWS P/N 8G3440F00211gives through the screens of the MFD and
PFD, a visual representation of the terrain clearance relative to the surround-
ing terrain and known obstacles.
The HTAWS uses a partition of software that runs in each PFD / MFD. It uses
information from navigation and flight sensors (e.g. AHRS, Air Data, Rad Alt,
GPS) along with dedicated Data Bases (DB) (Obstacles DB, Complete Terrain
DB, NAV DB) to compute obstacle position, generate obstacles / terrain maps,
visual and aural alerts.
The Complete Terrain data base is stored in the Data Transfer Device (DTD)
Non Volatile Memory (NVM).
Navigation data base (Jeppesen) is stored in each AMMC NVM and in the
DTD Non Volatile Memory. The obstacle DB is stored in each MFD / PFD
NVM. The data path between CDS and the DTD and AMMC is through the
AFDX bus.
The schematic diagram of the HTAWS is shown in the Figure 7-162.
The HTAWS uses the inputs that follow:

— GPS Data

— Radio Altitude and DH

— Roll and Pitch Attitude

— Heading

— Airspeed

— Barometric Altitude and Vertical Speed

— Ground Speed and Track

— ILS Glide slope

— Weight on Wheels
HTAWS gives the outputs that follow:

FOR TRAINING ONLY Issue 1 Page 7-425


Section 7 AW189 - RFM
System Description Document N°
OES 189G0290X002

— Terrain / Obstacle Display

— Visual cautions / Warnings

— Voice alerts / Warnings / Callouts.


The alarm is hear and the visual cautions seen through two functions:

Forward Looking Terrain (and Obstacle) Alerting (FLTA)


The FLTA is an area mostly in front of and to both sides of the aircraft.
Through lookhead algorithms, alerts are generated if the terrain or an obstacle
are in conflict with the path of the aircraft.
The FLTA uses the aircraft position and the altitude (data from the GPS) com-
bined with vertical speed to compute a projected aircraft flight path.
During the enroute operations, a caution alert is generated approximately 20
seconds ahead of the terrain or obstacle conflicts. The caution alert will be
upgraded to a warning alert approximately 10 seconds ahead of the conflict.

Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS)


This function operates independently from the FLTA. The GPWS is a down-
ward looking alert capability which generally uses the radar altimeter as an
alerting source. This function gives an alerting source to compute helicopter
separation with respect to the terrain. The GPWS can be considered as a
backup system if FLTA is not available due to no GPS position data or due to
the helicopter in a hover condition. The six modes of operation of the GPWS
are:
Mode 1: Excessive Rate of Descent
Mode 2: Not part of HTAWS systems
Mode 3: Descent after Take-Off or Missed Approach
Mode 4: Flight into Terrain when not in Landing configuration
Mode 5: Excessive downward deviation from an ILS Glideslope
Mode 6: Altitude Callout

GPWS controls and displays


The HTAWS function comes in view on the display with the label "TAWS". The
CTRL Key, at the bottom right side of the MFD, set the TAWS controls to on.

Then, a pop-up menu comes is view with a number of systems. The TAWS
includes the menu with the selections that follow:

— INHIBIT

— LOW ALT

— AUDIO INHIB

— G/S CANCEL

— OFF AIRPORT

— AUDIO TEST
To make a selection on the menu, you must use the CCD. Refer to Figure 7-
163.
The activated selection is displayed in the left upper side of the map on the
MFD or PFD.
Selecting the INHIBIT selection, a white TAWS INHIB message is displayed in
the top left corner on the PFD HSI area and MFD MAP page. This mode inhib-
its:

— The terrain and obstacle aural alerts (including the GPWS Mode 6 callout)

— The visual cautions and warnings and the terrain and obstacles display.
Setting the AUDIO INHIB selection, a white MUTE message is displayed in
the top left corner on the PFD HSI area or MFD MAP page. This mode inhibits
the terrain and obstacle audio alerts but the visual cautions, warnings display
stay active. The terrain and obstacle audio alerts are restored immediately by
deselecting the AUDIO INHIB.
After 5 minutes from audio inhibition the MUTE message will start to flash to
remind to the pilot that the TAWS audio is still inhibited.
On the display, the terrain map is represented with a color code. The relative
color band represent the clearance between the aircraft and the terrain or
obstacles. Refer to Figure 7-162 for the legend of the HTWAS colors.
The TAWS will display Terrain and Obstacle data in the Latitude interval rang-
ing from 70° North to 70° South.
The terrain consists of the earth’s natural surface surrounding the aircraft
based on the WGS84 GEOID model and not a corrected barometric altitude. It
represents the height above Mean Sea Level (MSL) in the GEOID model and
it is used as a reference altitude for color coding of the terrain display. The
TAWS presentation range is automatically adjusted in conjunction with the
MAP range selection up to a maximum range of 40 NM.

FOR TRAINING ONLY Issue 1 Page 7-427


Section 7 AW189 - RFM

OES 189G0290X002

When no MAP format is selected on both pilot and co-pilot PFD and no FPLN
ARC or ROSE presentation is selected on both pilot and co-pilot MFD and a
TAWS alert occurs, the MFD FPLN and the PFD MAP Menu bar legend are
overlapped by a TAWS alert (black text over amber background) to enable
TAWS overlay selection with a single keypress. (TAWS Pop-up function).
When MAP format or FPLN ARC or ROSE format is selected on at least one
PFD or MFD but no TAWS overlay is active and a TAWS alert occurs, the
TAWS overlay is automatically enabled and the MAP range scale adjusted to
5NM or to 2NM if the TAWS LOW ALT setting is active.
On PFD and MFD area, the following HTAWS mode/status annunciation mes-
sage can be displayed with the following logic depending from the overlay
selection:

— If overlay selection is set to TAWS, the mode/status symbology can be:


TAWS Status annunciation TAWS Failure Flag TAWS mode annunciation
line 1 TAWS mode annunciation line 2. Refer to Figure 7-162.

— If overlay selection is not set to TAWS, the mode/status symbology can


be: TAWS Mode/Status annunciation TAWS Failure Flag. Refer to Figure
7-163.

SYNTHETIC VISION SYSTEM (SVS)

GENERAL
The SVS P/N 8G9300F00111, use a dedicated partition of Software that runs
in each PFD, and on the MFDs runs for monitoring. This function is provided
through the use of precise navigation sensor inputs and an high resolution ter-
rain, obstacle and runway/heliport database.
The SVS also gives a display of airport runways and helipads as well as of
towered and non-towered obstacles higher than 50ft.
The SVS gives a Flight Path Vector (FPV) a direct perception of the aircraft
trajectory.
The SVS information comes in on the attitude and navigation area of the PFD
through the PFD MENU or with the selection on the Display Control Panel
(DCP).
The FPV and obstacles display can also be disabled through the PFD MENU.
It uses information from navigation and flight sensors (e.g. AHRS, Air Data,
Rad Alt, GPS) along with dedicated Data Bases (DB) (Obstacles DB, Com-
plete Terrain DB, NAV DB) to compute surrounding position and generate a
visual representation of the external environment.
The complete terrain data base is stored in the Data Transfer Device (DTD)
Non Volatile Memory (NVM). The Navigation data base is stored in each
AMMC NVM. The obstacle DB is stored in each display unit. The data path
between CDS and the DTD and AMMC is through the AFDX bus.
When SVS is enabled in CDS Option file, the Synthetic Vision over PFDs is
displayed on the PFDs by default at power on.

SVS controls and displays


When the SVS start-up, a SVS LOADING flag comes in view on the PFI area.
The loading process may take from 20 seconds to 180 seconds depending
upon complexity of the image and availability of sensor information.
The SVS presentation on the PFD PFI and NI areas is controlled with the PFD
menu Bar. This menu lets:

— Activate or deactivate the SVS display on the PFD

— Activate or deactivate the obstacles representation on the of the PFD

— Activate or deactivate the Flight Path Vector (FPV) representation on

the PFD.

— Activate or Deactivate the representation of the display of Flight Path Vec-


tor (FPV) on the On-Side PFD.
With the "SVS" button on the DCP, the SVS display on the PFD can be acti-
vated or deactivated. Refer to Figure 7-164.
When the PFDs are energized, the Synthetic Vision is displayed as default. In
case of SVS failure, the PFDs revert to normal presentation.
Obstacles are depicted as pyramids or cuboids when defined respectively as
towered or not towered in the obstacle database.
Flight Path Vector (FPV) represents the flight direction of the aircraft.
If the SVS option is not installed, pressing DCP SVS (Synthetic Vision) push-
button, the advisory message SVS NOT INSTALLED is displayed in the CAS
window for 5s.

RADIO EQUIPMENT V/UHF FLEXCOMM II

GENERAL
The radio equipment V/UHF Flexcomm II system is an AM/FM analog/digital
radio communication system.
The V/UHF Flexcomm II system, includes (Figure 7-165):

— V/UHF control panel


The V/UHF control panel (Wulfsberg C-5000), is installed in the cockpit.
At front of the V/UHF control panel there is a front panel. The front panel
has:
– The display at the top. The display has two lines of 20 characters each.
– Two multi-function soft-buttons on the left side of the display.
– A keypad that has 12 numerical and function buttons.
– A control that includes two knobs that have the same axis but different
diameter in each bottom corner. The inner knob of the left control (VOL
control) shows the PUSH ON label. The inner knob of the right control
(SEL control) shows the PUSH ENTER label.
– A data transfer port that lets the operator connect a laptop computer.

— V/UHF transceiver
The installation position of the RT-5000 V/UHF transceiver is on the rear
left side of the avionics bay. The transceiver sends the serial input control
data to the logic converter unit. The logic converter unit then changes the
frequency content of this data into the tuning data for the V/UHF antenna.

— V/UHF antenna
The V/UHF antenna is installed on the bottom of the fuselage. The V/
UHF antenna is a frequency tuned antenna, the electrical length of which
is adjusted by the logic converter unit. This operation becomes essential
due to the wide range of frequencies which require wavelength matching
to enable an optimum power transfer. The antenna is connected to the V/
UHF transceiver through two coaxial cables, a type “N” and a type “TNC”.

— V/UHF Logic converter unit


The V/UHF logic converter unit is installed in the rear left side of the fuse-
lage, adjacent to the V/UHF transceiver. The logic converter unit is part of
an electronically tuned antenna system, it is compatible with antennas
designed to cover the 30 to 960 MHz range. The V/UHF logic converter
unit accepts serial input data from the V/UHF transceiver and translates
the frequency content of this data into tuning information for the V/UHF

Page 7-438 Issue 1 FOR TRAINING ONLY


AW189 - RFM Section 7
Document N° System Description
189G0290X002 OES

antenna. It performs a message validation and sends an acknowledge-


ment message over a separate serial link to the radio indicating reception
of a message and its state of validity. The logic converter unit operates
with the power of the 28 Vdc supplied from the aircraft.
The V/UHF Flexcomm II system covers the frequency range 29.7 to 400 MHz
(AM) and 29.7 to 960 MHz (FM).
The memory of the V/UHF control panel can contain up to 350 preset chan-
nels and a channel for manual selection of the frequency.
The data of each channel can include only the transmit frequency or only the
receive frequency. The data can also includes the subaudible tones (CTCSS,
DCS, Burst), the channel number and, if given, the channel alphanumeric
identifier (maximum of eight characters). This makes it easier for the operator
to know the channels.
The Number 3 Remote Electric Power Unit (REPU3) supplies the power to the
V/UHF Flexcomm II system. The electrical power is supplied to the system
when the inner knob of the VOL control on the V/UHF control panel is pushed.
When the system becomes energized, the system does the self test. When
the self test is correctly completed, the display of the V/UHF control panel
shows the Control Display Page. This is the main page of a menu that gives
access to the options. When pushed the * / CLR button, the display goes back
to the Control Display Page and is possible start a new procedure.

Active/Standby Display Page, but the frequency, not with the alphanumeric
identifier, identifies the two channels.
To show the Display Pages in the sequence, it is necessary to push the 3 /
DISP button many times.
In the normal mode of operation, it is possible to tune a frequency manually.
To do this, it is necessary that the Manual Modes are set during the system
configuration. Then is possible tune a frequency manually when the Control
Display Page is open (or the Control Frequency-Display Page). With the outer
knob of the SEL control you must put the cursor at the channel number. Then
you must turn the inner knob of the SEL control until the display shows the let-
ter M. Then, if you push the # / NUM button, you can do the selection of the
channel number (1 to 350) with the numeric buttons. Push the SEL control
inner-knob to record the channel number and receive and transmit on the
tuned frequency.

CRASH POSITION INDICATOR WITH DEPLOYABLE ELT

GENERAL
The Crash Position Indicator (CPI) system is a primary radio location aid to
alert search and rescue and assist location in the event of an aircraft distress
condition.
The Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT), mounted on the left hand side of
the tail cone, consists of a locator beacon containing the transmitter and
antenna. The beacon, which can be manually or automatically activated, is
deployed from the aircraft in the event of a crash situation, providing full emer-
gency frequency operation at 121.5 MHz and 406.025 MHz.
The ELT automatically activates during a crash or aircraft ditching and trans-
mits the standard swept tone on 121.5 MHz until the battery power is
exhausted, which will typically be 48 hours.
The 406.025 MHz transmitter sends an encoded digital message of aircraft
position, as received from the GPS/FMS aircraft system via ARINC, and will
operate for 24hrs.
The CPI system also includes, (Refer to Figure 7-167):

— ADELT control panel


The ADELT control panel is installed on the left bottom side of the
interseat console in the cockpit. It allows the operator to test, monitor and
manually activate the CPI system.

— System interface unit


The System Interface Unit (SIU) is installed in the baggage compartment.
The SIU includes an OFF/ARM switch.

— Water activated switch


The water activated switch is installed on the rear side of the left sponson.
It provides an alternative means of automatic deployment should the air-
craft perform a controlled ditch into water. Due to the possibility of a rela-
tively soft landing during a controlled ditch, the SIU "g" switches may not
activate the beacon. Once the sensor is immersed in fresh or salt water,
the deployment of the beacon is automatically initiated.

— Configuration unit
The configuration unit is installed in the baggage compartment adjacent to
the SIU.

Page 7-448 Issue 1 FOR TRAINING ONLY


AW189 - RFM Section 7
Document N° System Description
189G0290X002 OES

— Beacon release unit


The Beacon Release Unit (BRU) is installed in the baggage compartment
adjacent to the system interface unit and the configuration unit. The bea-
con release unit provides the mechanical and electrical interface between
the helicopter and the beacon.

— Beacon
The beacon is installed in the rear left side of the fuselage. The beacon is
attached to the beacon release unit by a spigot and retained by a single
bolt into a fitting retained by a sear latch system. The sear is withdrawn by
an electro-explosive actuator to allow the latch to release.
The beacon has a transmitter, the battery pack and an antenna system.
The beacon has positive buoyancy and the outer surfaces are normally
colored “international orange” for high visibility.
The beacon can be manually or automatically activated and deployed
from the aircraft in the event of a crash. It provides full emergency fre-
quency operation at 121.5 MHz/243.0 MHz and 406.025 MHz (the same
frequencies as the ELT system). There is also an additional integrated
GPS antenna/receiver to enable updated GPS position data to be trans-
mitted in the 406.025 MHz message.
The beacon casing is designed to withstand impact on land or water and
to provide positive buoyancy.
A reset switch is incorporated by means of which the beacon can be shut
down on recovery after an incident.

Crash position indicator with deployable ELT controls and displays


See Figure 7-168.

Automatic operation
The automatic operation starts when the ARM / OFF switch on the SIU is set
to the ARM position and the system first boots up, two beeps will be heard
from the ADELT control panel, signifying the system is ready for operation. In
the ARM position, the system is ready and can be activated by any single or
multiple combinations of the following commands:

— The "g" switches sensing an excess load

— The operator switching the system to TRANSMIT or DEPLOY positions at

FOR TRAINING ONLY Issue 1 Page 7-449


Section 7 AW189 - RFM
System Description Document N°
OES 189G0290X002

the ADELT control panel

— The WAS being immersed in water.


In the event of a crash one or more of the multi-axis "g" switch in the SIU will
operate, activating the logic circuitry which, in turn, provides the firing energy
for the BRU actuator from an internal capacitor. In the event of ditching the
water activated switch will operate, activating the logic circuitry which, in turn,
provides the firing energy for the BRU actuator from an internal capacitor. On
activation of the logic circuitry the SIU produces two signals, one of which is
sent to the ADELT in the beacon, and the other to the actuator in the BRU:

— The first signal from the SIU operates a switch in the beacon, connecting
the internal battery pack to the 121.5 MHz/243.0 MHz and 406.025 MHz
transmitter, which begins to transmit simultaneously on all three frequen-
cies.

— The second signal operates the sear latch system in the BRU, which is an
electrically operated chemical fuse. On activation this allows the latch to
release and the beacon is then ejected by the remaining stroke of the
actuator assisted by a compressed coil spring.
The ADELT transmits the standard swept tone on 121.5 MHz/243.0 MHz until
the battery power is exhausted, which will typically be 48 hours. The 406.025
MHz transmitter sends an encoded digital message of aircraft position, as
received from the GPS/Flight Management System (FMS) and will operate for
24 hours.

Manual operation
The manual operation can be performed via the ADELT CCP at the pilot’s dis-
cretion. The manual functions available are:

— Beacon transmission - open the green transmit guard and operate the
TRANSMIT switch. Confirm TX/TEST light illuminates and audio tone is
heard.

— Beacon transmission and release - open the red deploy guard and oper-
ate the DEPLOY switch. Confirm TX/TEST and BEACON GONE lights
illuminate.

DOUBLE EXTERNAL HOIST OPERATIONS (GOODRICH)

GENERAL
The Goodrich Double External Hoist P/N 8G2591F00311 consists of two iden-
tical hoist units installed side-by-side on a common boom on the right side of
the cabin. The hoist units are assigned HOIST 1 for the inboard hoist and
HOIST 2 for the outboard hoist. Refer to Figure 7-178.
The double external hoist installation includes:

— Two electric hoist motor and winch assemblies mounted side-by-side

— Hoist operator (HO) control panel

— Two control pendants

— Hoist operator (HO)-ICS control panel

— Hoist operator (HO) safety harness

— Electrical cable cutters, one for each hoist (Primary Quick Release Sys-
tem (PQRS))

— Manual cable cutter for emergency use (Backup Quick Release System
(BQRS))

— Two hoist operator (HO) searchlights

— Step bar protection.


The double external hoist system is used for rescue operations and to lift and
lower attached loads or Human External Cargo (HEC)/personnel in areas
where the helicopter cannot land.
Each hoist unit contains 290 ft (88.4 m) of usable cable and may lower / lift a
maximum load of 600 lb (272 kg).
The cable speed for hoisting raising and lowering is from 0 to 320 fpm (97.5 m/
min) with maximum load, which increases to 345 fpm (105.2 m/min) with a
load of 300 lb (136 kg).
In the cabin are installed the HO control panel and the two HO control pen-
dants, one for each hoist unit, that allows the HO to operate the hoist.
The double external hoist system also comprises roof mounted attachment
points to secure the harness to a manual cable cutter and, on the right side of
the cabin door, the step protection pad to prevent damage to the hoist cable if
it contacts the step.

Section 7 AW189 - RFM
System Description Document N°
OES 189G0290X002

In the event of a failure of the electrical cable cutter system, the cable may be
cut with the manual cutter installed under the HO seat or in a position easily
accessible to the HO.
Two hoist lights are installed under the helicopter, one on the right side and
one on the left side. Each light is independant of the other and two control
panels are mounted in the cabin, one for each lamp.

DOUBLE EXTERNAL HOIST CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS


The hoist operator control panel has a knob that allows the HO to switch the
dual rescue hoist system to OFF or to energize the HOIST 1 or the HOIST 2.
The raising and lowering of the hoist load can be controlled by the HO using
the thumbwheel of the control pendants, which provides control of the variable
cable speed. The selection of the operative control pendant is controlled via
the knob on the HO control panel. Only one control pendant can operate at a
time. When a control pendant is selected, the related display comes on.
The length of cable deployed is shown on the 3 digit display on the pendant. A
display format xxx means the cable payout is in feet while yy.y means the
cable payout is in meters. The pilot can also control the operation of the res-
cue hoist using the hoist control switch on the collective grip at a fixed cable
speed of 100 fpm (32.8 m/min) during the high speed part of the cable travel
and approximately 50% of the speed for the slow speed travel at the extremes
of the cable. Both controls automatically slow down and stop the electric motor
at the cable extremes.
The pilot hoist control overrides the HO control. The hoist is provided with a
cable foul protection system which automatically stops the motor if the cable is
not correctly wound onto the drum. In this condition, the HOIST CBL FOUL
caution message comes in view on the MFD displays.
The Primary Quick Release System, an electrical cable cutter system, is avail-
able to the pilot and copilot, via a guarded HOIST CUT switch on the collective
grips and to the HO, via a guarded CUT switch on the HO control panel in the
cabin.
The HO audio panel, controls the HO communication with other crew mem-
bers. The HO plugs his headset into the HO control panel HEADSET socket.
The HO operator can use the VOX or the PTT trigger switch on the HO pen-
dants. The PTT is a two-stage trigger-switch. When the HO pushes the PTT to
the first position, he/she connects to the helicopter intercom system. When the
HO pushes the PTT to the second position (Radio) he/she can speak with the
ground personnel through a local-area wireless radio.

RADAR TELEPHONICS RDR-1500B+

GENERAL
The Telephonics RDR-1500B+ radar P/N 8G9370F00111 (referred as the
radar system) is a digital colour radar system.
The primary function of the radar system are search and rescue radar, surveil-
lance at sea and precision terraing mapping. Weather avoidance, transponder
beacon location and the display of waypoint navigation data are also functions
of the radar system.
The radar system installation includes (Figure 7-180):

— Radar antenna
The radar antenna is a 18 x 12 in flat plate phased-array antenna installed
on the radar antenna drive in the nose of the helicopter. The width of its
beam is 5.5° in azimuth and 8.1° in elevation beam. The antenna trans-
mits and receives the radar signals and its coverage is 180° maximum,
both in elevation and azimuth.

— Radar antenna drive


The radar antenna drive unit is installed on the nose structure. On the
radar antenna drive are connected the radar antenna and the waveguide.
The radar antenna drive unit move the radar antenna. The maximum
movement is ±90° in azimuth and ±15° in elevation.

— Waveguide
The radar waveguide is installed on the right side of the nose bay com-
partment. The waveguide connects the radar antenna drive to the radar
transceiver.

— Radar transceiver
The radar transceiver is installed on the right side of the nose avionic bay.
The waveguide connects the radar transceiver to the antenna drive. The
radar transceiver provide the pulsed X-band output signal for the radar
antenna, receive the reflected RF signal from the antenna, amplify and fil-
ter the reflected RF signal. Within the radar transceiver there is one
receiver for weather signals and one for beacon signals. The radar trans-
ceiver send to the MFDs (and PFDs via AFDX) the elaborated data. The
radar transceiver receive control and setting from the radar control panel,
the MFDs, WOW signal and aircraft heading with a attitude information
from AHRS system.

— Radar control panel


The radar control panel is installed on the interseat console in the cockpit.

— Radar interface unit


The radar interface unit is installed in the baggage compartment on its
mounting tray. The radar interface unit receives the video signals and pro-
cesses the data for the integration of range and azimuth. The radar data,
which are received from the radar transceiver in a rho-theta format, are
changed in X-Y coordinates through a scan. They are then recorder in a
digital memory and made available to the radar indicator. The radar inter-
face unit is the primary interface between the radar control panel and the
other components of the radar system. The radar interface processes the
digital video from the radar transceiver and sends digital color data to the
radar control panel. The radar interface also sends drive signals to the
radar-antenna drive-unit and mode-selection signals to the radar trans-
ceiver.

— Video splitter
The video splitter in installed in the cockpit lower fuselage area (left side).
It is connected to the radar interface unit and to the displays.

OPERATION
The weather radar system has the modes of operation that follow:

— Search/terrain mapping mode (SRCH)

— Weather Avoidance Modes (Wx and WxA)

— Beacon Mode (BCN)

— NAV Mode

— Radar Overlays (NO OVLY, HDG, NAV & LOG).

Search/terrain mapping mode (SRCH)

The sea search/terrain mapping mode of the radar system does the search
and rescue at sea and low altitude terrain-mapping. In the sea search mode,
the radar system can find and show targets down to a minimum range of 500
feet. The radar system can find small targets, for example a small boat, also
when the weather is bad. In the terrain mapping mode, the radar system does
the mapping of the land features, for example lakes, islands, cities. It can also
do the mapping of oil slicks at sea.

Weather Avoidance Modes (Wx and WxA)

In these modes the radar system gives continuous data about weather. It
shows the areas of rain and its intensity, the position of thunderstorms, hail
and snow areas, etc.

Beacon Mode (BCN)

In the beacon mode, the radar system can send to and receive pulses from
either airborne and ground-based X-band two-pulse reply (SST-181E and sim-
ilar types). The maximum distance of the transponders is 80 NM (maximum
distance range changes as a function of the beacon sensitivity). The coded
replies are received at the beacon frequency. The radar indicator shows the
beacon signals that come back from the transponders and their range and
bearing in relation to the helicopter.

NAV Mode

The radar system processes the waypoint data from the helicopter navigation
system. Then it calculate the positions of the waypoints in that moment to
show on the display.

Radar Overlays (NO OVLY, HDG, NAV & LOG)

When the flight crew does the selection of the RDR mode, the radar data only
are shown. The heading ribbon and the navigation data are erased from the
screen. The RADAR data and the HDG or NAV Overlay data can be shown at
the same time. The HDG mode is almost the same as the RDR mode. The dif-
ference is that the heading data show on top of the radar data and that the
range marks show on each second range ring. In the NAV mode, the naviga-
tion data show on top of the set radar data. The NAV mode can be used inde-
pendently or together with the search, weather or beacon mode. The NAV
LOG mode shows the flight log, which includes the data recorded in the LNAV
system. The latitude and longitude of the waypoints are shown together with
the waypoints to which the helicopter goes and those it comes from. The radar
data (search, weather and beacon) are not shown.

RADAR TELEPHONICS RDR-1500B+ CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS


The radar control panel has 18 softkey that make possible to select the menu
items shown on the display of the control panel. Refer to Figure 7-181.
The radar control panel has a home menu for each mode of operation. It has
also two brightness control buttons that make possible to increase or
decrease the brightness of the displays.

FLIR STAR SAFIRE 380 HD CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS


The main control is the Hand Control Unit (HCU), while a limited replication of
the HCU functionality is provided via the Panel-mounted Control Unit (PCU).
Use of either the HCU or the PCU provides the user with direct control of the
turret unit positioning, sensor selection and adjustment, and power ON/OFF
control. Both the HCU and PCU also provide the user with the ability to access
and navigate the system Main Menu, where the various system functions and
configuration settings can be found. Additionally, the user can access and
navigate the system Command List via either HCU or the PCU, which lists the
most common functions for quick access (Figure 7-184).
Control of the Laser Rangefinder (LRF) is achieved via use of both the HCU
and the Laser Interlock Unit (LIU). The LIU provides the Pilot and Co-Pilot with
overall authority to enable/disable power to the LRF. Once enabled, the LRF
can be fired via the guarded LRF firing switch on the HCU (Figure 7-184).
The selected sensor image and the system symbology are in view on the Mul-
tifunction Displays (MFD) in the cockpit and on the Mission Displays in the
cabin. The primary system status information are:

— Platform data

— Turret unit position information

— Target data

— System/BIT status, faults and warnings

— Sensor selection, status and user settings

— LRF status

— IMU/system alignment status

— GPS signal status

— Moving Target Indicator (MTI) overlay symbology.

TRAKKABEAM A800 SEARCHLIGHT

GENERAL
The Trakkabeam A800 searchlight P/N 8G3340F00811 (referred as the
search light) gives a high-intensity external-light source for reconnaissance
operations during the night time. The search light is a high-intensity xenon-
lamp search light installed on a gimbal support on the left side of the aircraft.
The search light uses 800 W of power, with a peak beam intensity of 17000
lumen.
It lets the operators illuminate a target or an area of interest in dark condition
or to increase visibility using one of the given filters. The search light uses
integral motors to provide control of the light beam in azimuth and elevation
and beam-width angle adjustment (zoom function). The search light is slaved
to the Star Safire 380 HD FLIR.
The search light beam contour is constant with no dark holes and hot spots
and the multi-spectral optical system includes the in-flight changeable filters
that follow:

— White light

— IR filter 820 nm

— Red glow filter 680 nm

— Amber 480 to 500 nm.


The search light includes (Figure 7-185):

— Search light
The search light is installed on the gimbal assembly.
Its movement is software controlled in the elevation and azimuth axis to
prevent operation in not safe areas on the aircraft. If the system has a
fault, mechanical hard stops give the safety backup to stop the search
light movement.
The search light has an 800 W lamp and a maximum of six optional filters
(with Infra Red) with the zoom function. The light source is a short arc
xenon type that operates with a 16 thru 22 Vdc regulated power supplied
from the PCIU.
The beam-quartz optical elements focus a high energy light beam with the
energy concentrated to the center. This is to have the best possible
search function. An integrated optical filter system gives a maximum of six
different light beams (coloured), Infra Red included.
The gimbal assembly has a cooling fan very important for a satisfactory

Document N° System Description
189G0290X002 OES

and a correct operation of the lamp. A temperature sensor also prevents


the lamp from a too much hot.

— Gimbal assembly
The gimbal assembly is installed on the search light mount. On the gimbal
assembly is installed the search light.
The two axis gimbal lets to control the search light in the azimuth and ele-
vation axis. Gimbal assembly control is via the hand controller or through
the pilot and copilot collective grip. The movement of the gimbal assembly
is software controlled in the elevation and azimuth axis with limits that pre-
vent the light to illuminate part of the fuselage structure. If there is a failure
to the control system, the mechanical hard stops prevent the search light
to go into the not permitted area. If the control system drives the gimbal to
a hard mechanical stop, overcurrent protection isolates the gimbal drives.
The gimbal uses a worm gear and the brush DC motors, with a position
encoder, to control each axis. All the electronic controls are in the PCIU.
When energized, the search light does the diagnostic and alignment
check in the azimuth and elevation to find the limits of the mechanical
hard stops. When completed, the system goes back to the preset position.

— Search light mount


The search light mount is a composite "Boom" with an internal wire mesh
(for the bonding), that installs the PCIU internally near the fuselage inter-
face. It has four hinges on the top and bottom side for the mount connec-
tion to the fuselage structure. On the search light mount is attached the
gimbal assembly to the end of the mount.
A cover on its rear side gives the access to the electrical connectors of the
PCIU for the maintenance operation.

— Power Conditioning Interface Unit (PCIU)


The PCIU is installed in a housing on the search light mount.
Is is a metal box that contains the power and the control hub of the sys-
tem. It contains the relays and the terminal connections for the power and
control voltage supply to the components of the search light system. It
also contains parts for the starter circuit.
The power supply (28 Vdc) from the aircraft is changed and supplied to
each item in the system.
The PCIU does all the gimbal position control, filter selection, light zoom
and lamp on/off control. The PCIU also gives an interface to the crew con-
trollers and a third port for the interface with third-party equipment as
cameras (for the slave function) or moving map outputs.

— Control panel
The control panel is installed in the interseat console in the cockpit.
It gives a user interface between the search light and the flight crew
through switches and a display that shows the filter selection and the cur-
rent system status. It lets the control of the search light from the hand con-
troller or the panel (through the pilot/co-pilot handgrip).
The control panel is configured for two collective handgrips and discrete
inputs. It also gives the outputs to show the system status. The panel is
connected to the PCIU and it is used to set the system power on/off and to
select control source (Pilot/Co-Pilot/Hand Controller).

— Hand controller
The hand controller is installed on a support on the forward right side of
the cabin. The hand controller lets the operator control the search light
from the cabin thru the control switches installed on the handgrip.

— The remote-controlled circuit breaker (RCCB)


The RCCB is installed on the left forward side of the cabin ceiling.

SEARCHLIGHT TRAKKABEAM A800 CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS


When set to On, the search light system does the Power-On-Self-Test (POST)
procedure. The self-test includes the turn of the search light in the azimuth
and elevation axis. This is to find the limits of the hard stop positions and other
diagnostic procedures. At the end of the POST, the search light goes to the
stow position. If the system is set to On from the stow position, the system
does a short POST and the hard stop check is not necessary.
The system lets the user set the STOW and the DEPLOY positions from the
cockpit control panel or the hand controller in the cabin. The stow position is a
user defined location usually set to give the best aerodynamic profile when the
search light is on standby.
The search light system is usually set to On before the takeoff and landing.
This is to make sure that it is in the stow position for the best ground clearance
and aerodynamic profile. To prevent unexpected operation of the search light,
it will only respond to the deploy command when in the stow position. All other
commands will not operate until the system is deployed.
Search light manual steering operates at different speeds on how hard the
slew controller is operated. The maximum slew rate is 60°/sec.
The system also has a ZOOM function that lets change between a narrow to a
wide beam width and a PSAVE button that decreases power to the light of

RADIO EQUIPMENT ROCKWELL COLLINS HF-9000

GENERAL
The Radio Equipment Rockwell Collins HF-9000 P/N 8G2310F00311 and P/
N 8G2310F00611 (referred as the HF radio) provides radio communication
features in the HF (High Frequency) band.
The HF radio includes (Figure 7-187):

— Receiver/transmitter
The receiver/transmitter is installed on its mounting tray in the tail boom.
The receiver/transmitter provides the signal processing to translate sig-
nals between RF and audio.

— Antenna coupler
The antenna coupler is installed on its mounting tray in the tail boom.
The antenna coupler is used to interface the antenna with the transceiver
and tune output frequencies.

— HF antenna
The HF antenna is installed on the left side of the tail boom fuselage. The
HF antenna is composed by the HF antenna tube and four supports.

— HF antenna cable
The HF antenna cable is attached between the rear side of the antenna
coupler and the HF antenna.

OPERATION
The HF radio operates with discrete operation frequencies and includes the
2.0 thru 30 MHz frequency range in 100 Hz increments.
The HF radio provides a set of user programmable 20 preset channels. In
addition, six emergency channels plus all 249 International Telecommunica-
tion Union (ITU) maritime radiotelephone network channels are stored in per-
manent non-volatile memory.
For the transmission operations, the following operational modes can be
selected by the flight crew via the Multifunction Control Display Unit (MCDU):

— Simplex Mode
The HF radio uses the same frequency for both transmitting and receiving
operations.

Page 7-540 Issue 1 FOR TRAINING ONLY


Rev. 4
AW189 - RFM Section 7
Document N° System Description
189G0290X002 OES

— Half-Duplex Mode
The HF radio is used in duplex mode. Two different frequencies are
tuned, one for the transmission and one for the reception. When selected,
the pilots can transmit and receive simultaneously.

— ITU Mode
When the ITU mode is selected, the HF radio is set to use one of the 249
International Telecommunications Union maritime radio telephone net-
work channel (public correspondence network). Each channel is identified
with 4 digits and corresponds to a couple of frequencies: one for the trans-
mission and one for the reception in half-duplex mode.

— Emergency Mode
When the Emergency mode is selected, the pilot can select one of the 6
memorized emergency channels.

RADIO EQUIPMENT ROCKWELL COLLINS HF-9000 CONTROLS AND


DISPLAYS
The HF radio is integrated with the AW189 AMMS system.
The controls and display of the HF radio is via the Multifunction Control Dis-
play Unit (MCDU). Refer to Figure 7-188.

TIE DOWN MAIN ROTOR


Refer to Figure 8-3.
Tie down main rotor whenever any of the following condition exist:
1. Thunderstorms are in the local area or forecasted.
2. Winds excess of 20 knots or gusts greater than 15 knots are being
experienced or forecasted.
Helicopter is parked within 150 ft of hovering or taxiing aircraft that are in
excess of 5400 kg (11,900 pounds) gross weight. Helicopter to be parked
overnight.
The main rotor tie downs are socks which fit over the end of each blade with
cords which attach to mooring points on the fuselage (Figure 8-4). The tie
down cords are manufactured to specified lenghts for forward and aft mooring
points, as identified by streamers adjacent to the brass rings to which the snap
hooks attach. When secure, the tie downs should be free of slack or under
slight tension, but not under sufficient tension to flex the main rotor blades
appreciably. The cords should never be shortened from their design lenghts,
as excessive loads could be induced in the main rotor yokes.

TIE DOWN TAIL ROTOR


The tail rotor tie down is red and is stenciled in white letters “REMOVE
BEFORE FLIGHT”. To tie down the tail rotor assembly, rotate main rotor until
tail rotors are aligned with the vertical fin and main rotor blades are approxi-
mately 45 degrees to helicopter centerline. Tie down main rotor first, then
secure tail rotor with tail rotor blades flapping block.

ENGINE AIR INTAKE COVERS


Refer to Figure 8-4.
The engine air intake covers are installed on each engine and each cover has
a red streamer stenciled in white letters “REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT”
attached to it.

MOORING
Mooring is securing the helicopter to prevent damage during periods of high
winds or turbulent weather.

CAUTION
Use this procedure for winds up to 45 Kts. If wind is forecasted
above this, the helicopter should be moved to a sheltered area or
into a hangar.

The helicopter should be moored if parked in the open and it should be posi-
tioned on a paved ramp between suitably spaced tie down rings and should
be headed in the direction from which the highest forecast winds are
expected. If suitable paved ramp and tie-down rings are not available, park
helicopter on an appropriate parking area, headed into wind and use appropri-
ate mooring anchors or make “dead man” anchors.
Before starting the Mooring operation check the following steps:
1. Engage rotor brake (if fitted).
2. Lock main landing gear wheels.
3. Center and lock nose wheel.
4. Close all access doors and panels.
5. Remove from parking area all loose equipment that could be blown by the
wind.
To moor the helicopter proceed as follows:
1. Install the L/G handle locking pin.
2. Pull and turn the PARK BRAKE lever.

FUEL
Refer to Section 1 for ambient temperature limits. It shall be the responsibility
of the operator and his fuel supplier to ensure that the fuel conforms to one of
the approved specifications above.
The fuel system is gravity feed through a single filler port on the right side of
the aft fuselage. A grounding jack is provided below the fueling port.

OILS
An appropriate entry shall be made in the helicopter logbook when oil has
been added to the engine, transmission intermediate gear box or tail rotor
gearbox.
Refer to Section 1 for the authorized oils.

ENGINE OILS
Engine oils shall meet the engine manufacturer’s approval in all cases. Con-
sult the engine manufacturer for use of oil brands not listed herein.

CAUTION
Mixing of oils by type is acceptable but not recommednded.

TRANSMISSION, INTERMEDIATE AND TAIL ROTOR GEARBOX OILS


Refer to transmission, intermediate and tail rotor gearbox limitations for ambi-
ent temperature limitations.
For the main transmission, the filler is located on the left side and it should be
filled with the quantity of oil necessary to have the MAX level mark on the oil
level indicator.
For the intermediate gearbox and tail gearbox, fill it with the quantity of oil nec-
essary to have the FULL level mark on the oil level indicator.

INFORMATION

GENERAL INFORMATION
This section contains useful CRUISE CHARTS that allows the determination
of the fuel flow, the maximum endurance cruise and reccommended cruise.

HELICOPTER CONFIGURATION
Clean configuration

FOR TRAINING ONLY Issue 1 Page 9-1


Section 9 AW189 - RFM
Supplemental Performance Document N°
Information 189G0290X002

CRUISE CHARTS
The cruise charts are based on estimates and flight test data.
These data do not include the effect of heater on fuel consumption. The fuel
flow data is applicable to the basic helicopter without the addition of any
optional equipment which would appreciably affect lift, drag or power avail-
able. The reference line (dotted line on the left side of chart, equivalent to the
drag of a 1 square meter plate) is used in combination with the Correction
Factor for the optional equipment to calculate the additional Torque/Fuel con-
sumption with the equipment installed.

CRUISE CHART TERMINOLOGY


Here below a definition of terminology used in the cruise charts is given.

Max Endurance: This line defines the TAS/IAS, for a given


Gross Weight, for which the corresponding
Fuel Consumption is it a minimum and,
therefore, the mission duration is maximised.

Maximum Range Cruise: This line defines the TAS/IAS, for a given
Gross Weight, for the maximum distance
achievable

Recommended Cruise: This line defines the TAS/IAS, for a given


Gross Weight, based on a 1% reduction of
the Maximum Cruise range, for the same
Gross Weight. The speed increase given by
this method provides a good compromise
between fuel consumption and time.

Vne: The Vne line is plotted when the Vne is less


than Vh (level flight speed at MCP).

EXAMPLE FOR INTERPOLATION AMONG CHARTS

Wanted: 1. True airspeed.


2. Indicated airspeed.
3. Torque.
4. Fuel consumption for recommended cruise.

Known: 5. Pressure altitude: 5000 ft OAT: 10° C


6. Gross weight: 6700 kg

Method: Select to suitable charts (Figure 9-16, Figure 9-17, Figure


9-22, Figure 9-23) on each 4 charts intersect the gross
weight 5600 kg line with the recommended cruise line to
read TAS, IAS, TQ, fuel consumption. See table below

Note
To obtain data for pressure altitude 5000 ft and 10° C interpolate
linearly first for OAT (constant pressure altitude) and obtain data
for OAT 10° C at pressure altitude 4000 and 6000 ft. Then inter-
polate linearly for pressure altitude and obtain the final results at
pressure altitude 5000 ft and 10° C.

RANGE AND ENDURANCE


Refer to Figure 9-59.

Note
The range evaluated with the diagram correspond to effective
range on ground (wind velocity equals zero). To take into
account the wind effect in the range calculation, use TAS
reduced by the headwind component (ground speed) before
entering in the chart.

EXAMPLE
Refer to Figure 9-59.

Wanted Endurance and distance.

Known Fuel consumption: 393 kg/h


Available fuel: 1000 kg
TAS: 150 kt.

Method Enter chart at fuel consumption 393 kg/h


move up and intersect available fuel
1000 kg line, move the left and read
2.54h (2h:32':24"). Return to 393 kg/h,
than move up to intersect True airspeed

EFFECTS OF INSTALLED OPTIONAL KITS


When Optional Supplement kits are fitted that effect the external profile or
reduce the engine power available the aircraft fuel consumption and Endur-
ance speeds are effected.
The Table in Figure 9-A gives corrections to apply, for each Kit. These take the
form of a Drag Factor that can be used to calculate accurately Maximum
Range Speed (VMR), Recommended Cruise Speed (VRC), Maximum Endur-
ance Speed (VME). Values for these corrections are also included in the table
but represent a quick conservative correction.
Included in the table are the effect, in percentage, of the kits on Fuel Con-
sumption, Range and Endurance AEO and OEI.
If more than one kit is installed the vaues for the kits installed must be added
together to give the correction for the combination installed.
Optional kits not listed in the table do not have an effect on performance.

Example 1
Wanted True airspeed, Indicated airspeed, torque, fuel consumption for
Maximum Range, Recommended Cruise with Optional Equip-
ment Trakka Searchlight and Double External Hoist Goodrich.
Known Pressure altitude: 0 ft OAT: 20° C
Gross weight: 8300 kg.
Method Select the suitable chart (Figure 9-4), intersect the gross weight
8300 kg line with the Maximum Range line to read:
left scale TAS = 127 kts,
right scale IAS = 127 kts,
bottom scale TQ = 70 %,
top scale Fuel Consumption = 452 kg/hr.
Using the same technique with the Recommended Cruise line:
TAS = 142 kt,
IAS = 143 kt,
TQ = 84%,
fuel consumption = 515 kg/hr.
These define the conditions for Maximum Range and Recom-
mended Cruise values for a clean aircraft configuration.
To correct for the effect of Optional Equipment Kits installed the
conservative correction values in the table can be applied for

FOR TRAINING ONLY Issue 1 Page 9-4A

Supplemental Performance Document N°
Information 189G0290X002

the Searchlight (VMR & VRC = -3) and Double Hoist (VMR & VRC
= -5) to the clean aircraft values. This would give:
VMR = 127 - 3 -5 = 119 KTAS
VRC = 142 - 3- 5 = 134 KTAS
If a more accurate calculation is required using the Drag Factor
values then first determine the intersect of the DTQ reference
line at the Max Range TAS = 127 kts and move vertically to
read DTQ = 7%. This value is then factored by the total of the
Drag Factors (DF) for the equipment installed i.e. from
Figure 9-A :
Searchlight DF = 0.15,
Double External Hoist DF = 0.3
Torque penalty for optional equipment becomes :
7 x (0.15 + 0.3) = 3.2 %.
To correct the Maximum Cruise speed subtract the Torque Pen-
alty from the clean aircraft Maximum Cruise torque value ie:
70 - 3.1 = 66.9% TQ,
Enter the bottom scale at 66.9% TQ, and move vertically to
intercept the 8300 kg then move horizontally to read TAS = 122
kt and IAS = 122 kt which are the Recommended Cruise speed
with the Optional Equipment kits fitted, for the TQ = 70% and
fuel consumption = 452 kg/hr.
Applying the same analysis to Recommended Cruise speed
subtract the Torque Penalty from the clean aircraft Recom-
mended Cruise torque value ie:
13 x (0.15 + 0.3) = 5.8
84 - 5.8 = 78.2% TQ,
Enter the bottom scale at 78.2% TQ, and move vertically to
intercept the 8300 kg then move horizontally to read TAS = 137
kt and IAS = 138 kt which is the Recommended Cruise speed
with the Optional Equipment kits fitted for the TQ = 88% and
fuel consumption = 515 kg/hr.

Example 2
Wanted The change in Range and Endurance with Optional Equipment
Trakka Searchlight and Double External Hoist Goodrich
installed.
Known Fuel Consumption: 393 kg/h
Available Fuel: 1000 kg
TAS: 150 kt
Method From the example on Page 9-4 for the basic aircraft is calcu-
lated as Range 382 nm and Endurance is 2.54 h (2h:32’:24”).
To correct for the effect of the Optional Equipment Kits installed
table Figure 9-A gives the Range correction for the Searchlight
as -3% and Double Hoist -5% and the Endurance AEO correc-
tionf for the Searchlight as 0% and the Double Hoist -1%. This
gives a total correction of :
Range -3 + -5 = -8%
Endurance 0 + -1 = -1%
Applying these corrections gives the new Range and Endur-
ance as :
Range 382 x (1 - .08) = 351 nm
Endurance 2.54 x (1 - 0.01) = 2.51 h (2:30’:36”).

ALL ENGINES OPERATING TAKE-OFF PROFILE

1. Climb Out Safety Speed — Select VCOSS based on reported


headwind component..

2. Hover — Establish a 5 ft ATS hover, no winds


from rear sectors (090° to 270°).
Note hover PI %

3. Position — Position aircraft with the rotor tips


as coincident as possible with the
deck edge

4. Collective — Raise the collective to Hover PI


+20% or take-off power whichever
occurs first in approximately 2 sec-
onds. Do not exceed maximum
take-off power

5. Take Off Decision Point (TDP) — At TDP, rotate nose to 12° nose
down. Maintain this pitch attitude
until 20 knots groundspeed is indi-
cated using the groundspeed indi-
cator then recover pitch attitude to
0°. Maintain this attitude and accel-
erate to airspeed of VTOSS
(50 KIAS), maintaining collective
position.

6. VTOSS — When VTOSS is achieved adjust


pitch attitude to approximately 5°
nose up, continue climb and accel-
erate to Vy (80 KIAS).

7. VY — At VY, select landing gear up (not


below 200 ft).

ENGINE FAILURE RECOGNITION BEFORE TDP

1. Collective — Maintain collective setting or lower


collective slightly, if required, to
land.

2. Touchdown — Increase collective to cushion land-


ing as touchdown becomes immi-
nent. Maximum permitted GS at
touchdown 5 kts (9 km/hr).

3. Landing — After touchdown, centralize cyclic


and simultaneously reduce collec-
tive to MPOG.

ENGINE FAILURE AT OR AFTER TDP

1. Cyclic/Collective — Rotate to an attitude of 12° nose


down and adjust collective to con-
tain the NR droop at 90% to accel-
erate to 20 kts groundspeed.

2. Acceleration — At 20 knots groundspeed raise nose


to an attitude of +6° and accelerate
to V TOSS while recovering NR to
101% using 2.5 min power range as
required

3. Climb — When the aircraft achieves VTOSS


(50 KIAS) adjust pitch attitude to
climb with 2.5min power range,
maintaining NR at 101% to ensure
full power is being applied.
Landing gear - UP. Continue climb
accelerating to VCOSS, using 2.5min
power range, up to 1000 ft AGL,
maintaining NR at 101%

4. At 1000 ft — Accelerate to VY and continue climb


to final altitude at VY.

5. OEI SEL button on collective — Select as required

DECK EDGE CLEARANCE


The Take Off WAT chart and procedures guarantee a minimum deck edge
clearance of 15 ft in case of an engine failure at or after TDP.

DROP DOWN (BELOW DECK SURFACE) CHARTS


The height loss below deck level during a single engine failure flyaway for
combinations of weight, altitude and temperature is shown in the Charts and
Tables from Figure 9-125 to Figure 9-135.
The required operational clearance from obstacles or hostile environment
must be added to the height loss chart.
The wind effect on height loss, incorporated into the WAT Chart, for Headwind
Component is unfactored.
