(C-304). The number refers to the item 304. The data
on this item 304 is found in Table 13-2 in Chapter 13 of
Standard Practices Manual (BHT-ALL-SPM).
On occasion, the materials that are used in
maintenance tasks will change properties, change
suppliers, or be discontinued. Also, new improved
materials become available. If there is ever a
difference between the Maintenance Manual and
Standard Practices Manual, the manual that has the
latest date of issue shows the preferred material.
However, either material may be used for the
maintenance task unless it is stated otherwise in the
procedure.

HELICOPTER DESCRIPTION

The Model 412 SERIES Helicopter (Figure 1-2)

consists of two major assemblies: The forward

fuselage and the tailboom. The forward fuselage is of

semimonocoque and reinforced shell construction with
transverse bulkheads and metal and fiberglass
covering. Two longitudinal main beams provide the
primary structural support.
A hinged door on either side of the forward area
permits direct access to the crew area and a large
sliding door permits access to the cargo/passenger
area. Additionally, a hinged cargo door is located
immediately ahead of the sliding door. This door
increases the width of access to the cargo/passenger
area. Seating is provided for the pilot and forward
passenger/copilot in the crew area (cockpit) and up to
13 passengers in the cargo/passenger (cabin) area.
The engine deck, located above and aft of the
passenger/cargo area, is designed to accommodate
the engines, reduction (combining) gearbox, firewalls,
and air management system.
The tailboom is of semimonocoque construction which
provides support for a vertical fin, aerodynamically
actuated elevator, tail rotor and tail rotor drive system,
tail skid, and baggage compartment.
The powerplant is a Pratt and Whitney of Canada, Ltd.
PT6T-3 series twin turboshaft (Twin-Pac) engine
consisting of two identical free turbine power sections.
A common reduction (combining) gearbox mounted
across the aft end of the power sections has an
engine-to-transmission output shaft (main driveshaft)
extending forward along the centerline of the engine to
provide power to the transmission.
The main rotor system is a soft-in-plane, flex-beam
type with four interchangeable blades. For storage and
handling, two of the blades may be folded back along
the fuselage. When folded, the blades do not extend
beyond the width of the fuselage.
