CAUTION

Avoid continuous operation at rotor

speed of 200 to 230 rpm to minimize
stabilize bar resonance. Applysuffi-
cient cyclic control stick into the wind
to maintain the rotor in a near hori-
zontal plane.
3. Increase engine rpm to approximately
2200 to prevent clutch slippage and hold until oil
temperature reaches 40°C minimum.
4. Check magnetos at 3100 rpm and minimum
pitch after head temperature reaches 100°C. A
drop of 200 rpm is permissible with no engine
roughness.
ENGINE SHUT-DOWN PROCEDURE.
1. Idle engine until cylinder head temperature
drops approximately 25°C.

2. Ignition switch OFF.

3. Increase main rotor pitch, not to exceed

1/3 the range, to reduce rotor rpm.

CAUTION

In high winds increase pitch carefully

and do not exceed 1/3 the pitch range.
Apply control stick into the wind to
maintain the rotor in a near horizon-
tal attitude.
4. Moor aft blade with mooring block by draw-
ing blade down lightly against static stop and
tying web strap to tail boom.

HYDRAULIC BOOST FAILURE

In the event of failure of the hydraulic pres-

sure system an airspeed of 40 to 60 mph should
be maintained and a landing shall be accomplished
within 20 minutes. Feedback forces will be en-
countered in the cyclic control stick and will be
proportionate in intensity to an envelope of
factors directly affected by airspeed, gross
weight and climatic turbulance. Feedbackforces
are negligible when the helicopter is in auto-
rotation.
If jamming of the controls or a condition of
the controls tending to override the pilot is
experienced the hydraulic system by-pass valve
handle should be immediately pulled UP or the
Hydraulic System switch moved to OFF to re-
lieve hydraulic pressure at the cylinders. The
jammed cylinder may then be broken loose by
exerting pressure on the control stick and the
above emergency procedure followed.

ENGINE FAILURE.

Execute a normal autorotative descent and

establish a level attitude prior to ground contact.
At a height of approximately 10 feet apply col-
lective pitch in sufficient quantity to stop decent
as ground contact is made.
Rev. May 27, 1960 11
 FLIGHT MANUAL
MODEL47G-2

TAIL ROTOR FAILURE.

1. Immediately execute an autorotative de-

scent and maintain an airspeed of at least 40 mph.

2. Make a normal autorotative landing.

DITCHING WITHOUT POWER.

1. Execute a normal autorotative descent and

land at minimum surface speed.

2. Apply full lateral stick to the "RIGHT" to

roll the helicopter on to the "RIGHT" side.

PERFORMANCE
VDATA

The performance data contained in this Sec-

tion was obtained at best power. The altitude
compensated carburetor is metered to give best
power. If equipped with a manual carburetor,
best power may be obtained by the following
procedure:
1. Collective pitch and throttle fixed.
2. Manually lean the carburetor for maximum
engine rpm.
3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for each 500 feet
pressure altitude for maximum performance.

CAUTION

Enrich carburetor during descent.

Note
Temperature values shown on the
performance charts are forpressure
altitude stated.

when a control motion is made. Feed-back forces
may not be present or are negligible when the
cyclic stick is held fixed or during autorotation.
Feed-back forces encountered when moving the
cyclic stick will be proportionate in intensity to
an envelope of factors directly effected by air-

ANTI-COLLISION BEACON LIGHTS.

The Anti-Collision Beacon Lights Kit, No.
47-706-633, when installed, will provide a
significant increase in the conspicuity of the
helicopter during night operations. The high
degree of visibility attained, by use of the
lights, is especially desireable due to the
continued increase in air traffic density. The
kit consists of an aft top mounting bracket
and light, a forward bottom center frame
bracket and light, with the required parts,
hardware, electrical wiring and equipment to
complete the installation.
SECTION 1 OPERATING LIMITATIONS
CENTER OF GRAVITY LIMITS.
Actual weight change shall be determined
after kit is installed and battery relocated, if
necessary, to return empty weight CG within
allowable limits.
OPERATION.
Turn beacon lights OFF during flight in or
near visible moisture to prevent uncommon
reflections and possible pilot vertigo.
NOTE
Keep cabin glass clean to prevent
halation. Limit operation of beacon
lights on the ground, to prolong bulb
life and to avoid mistaken identity as
an emergency ground vehicle which
uses a similar light.

DUAL BREAKER MAGNETO AND STARTING

VIBRATOR
INTRODUCTION
Engine starting characteristics will be greatly
improved, especially during cold weather, by
installation of the dual breaker magneto and the
starting vibrator. Bell Service Instruction NO.
365 provides complete information for accom-
plishing the installation. With the new magneto
installed the starting cycle is accomplished ona
retarded set of breaker points and the vibrator
supplies a shower of sparks as long as the
starter switch is depressed. On release of the
starter switch the dual magnetoes will provide
advance ignition for engine operation and auto-
matically renders the starting vibrator and re-
tard breaker inoperative. A hand crank switch
is used with this installation and shall be posi-
tioned to ON, when hand cranking the engine, to
activate the vibrator and utilize the retarded
breaker magneto feature. (Refer to Lycoming
Service Letter NO. 123.)

SECTION 2 OPERATING PROCEDURES

PRE-ENGINE STARTING

When the dual breaker magneto and the starting

vibrator are installed: add step 3A; Starter
vibrator (STR. VIB.) switch NORMAL, also
change step 7, as follows:
3A. Starter vibrator (STR. VIB.) switch
NORMAL.
7. Ignition switch - BOTH.
