SECTION 6.1
WEIGHT AND BALANCE
1 GENERAL
The purpose of this section is to provide data for use when evaluating a proposed
loading configuration or calculating the weight and center of gravity of an aircraft in
service.

2 WEIGHT AND BALANCE

n
2.1 WEIGHT - STANDARD DEFINITIONS

io
- Empty Weight (EW)
This corresponds to the sum of the weights of the permanent assemblies and
equipment:

ct
The vehicle and its power plant.
Equipment common to all missions.
Lubricants and hydraulic fluids.
Unusable fuel.
tru
EW then is constant for a given aircraft.
ns
- Equipped Empty Weight (EEW)
This is the sum of:
Empty weight (EW).
rI

Weight of the specific operational or mission equipment.


EEW varies according to the proposed mission.
fo

- Zero fuel weight (ZFW)


This is the sum of:
Equipped empty weight (EEW).
y

Crew weight.
nl

Payload.

- All-up Weight (AUW)


O

This is the sum of:


Equipped empty weight (EEW).
Crew weight.
Payload.
Usable fuel weight.
- Maximum Weight
Refer to limitations (SECTION 2).

2.2 CENTER OF GRAVITY CONVENTIONAL TERMS


- The center of gravity is defined by dimensions measured perpendicular to the
three basic datum planes. These planes are as follows:
A horizontal plane parallel to the cabin floor datum, the Z datum plane, located
3.43 m (135.04 in) above this datum.
A vertical plane perpendicular to the cabin floor datum. This Y datum plane is
the aircraft plane of symmetry. Dimensions to the left (port) are negative,
dimensions to the right (starboard) are positive.
A vertical plane perpendicular to the two mentioned above, situated 3.40 m
(133.86 in) forward of the center of the main rotor. This is the X datum plane,
from which the longitudinal reference stations and CG positions are measured.

NOTE
y

CG location limits must not be exceeded. Refer to SECTION 2 Limitations.


nl

CAUTION
A CG location which is correct on takeoff may vary during the mission, due to
O

fuel weight reduction or loading variation and therefore exceed acceptable


limits.

- Longitudinal CG must be monitored more closely.


- Lateral CG need be considered only in very asymmetrical loading configurations.

SECTION 6.2
LONGITUDINAL CG LOCATION
1 DETERMINATION OF LONGITUDINAL CG LOCATION
- Procedure
The distance from the aircraft center of gravity to the datum plane is obtained using
the formula:
Sum of moments
= CG ready for flight.
Sum of weights

1) Determine the maximum permissible takeoff weight.
2) Note the equipped empty weight and the moment.

weights and moments.


4) Calculate the CG location.

n
CG = 1775 = 3.182 m CG = 3913 = 125.29 in

7) Check with the longitudinal CG chart the location of the ZFW CG. In this

io
example it is out of the reduced VNE area. Therefore no VNE reduction has
to be applied for the entire flight.

3 CG CHARTS
The following charts (metric and non - metric units) are used to easily determine the
aircraft center of gravity. When the point obtained is close to the limits, it should be
confirmed by calculations.
Due to the complexity to show all seat configurations on the same chart, these charts
are given for the "SICMA 159" 7-seats configuration only. The determination of the
center-of gravity for other configurations must be performed by calculations.

SECTION 6.5
WEIGHING
1 PRELIMINARY ACTIONS
- The weighing operation must be carried out in a closed shelter to avoid any errors
caused by the wind.
- Clean the aircraft carefully before weighing.
- If the weighing operation is used to determine CG location, level the aircraft before
weighing (transmission deck set to 2° nose down).
- In principle, all equipment items included in the aircraft's empty weight must be

n
installed. Draw up a brief inventory of those equipment items and include it in the
weighing record.

io
- All weighing instruments must be checked for correct "zero" setting before use. It is
important that the weighing instruments are placed on suitably levelled ground for
correct measurement.

ct
- Unless otherwise specified, the fuel cells must be drained.

truNOTE

A certain quantity of fuel remaining in the system is defined by the


airworthiness regulations as the "unusable fuel", i.e. the quantity of fuel below
which anomalies in fuel supply begin to appear in certain aircraft attitudes
ns
and/or flying manoeuvres.

The weight (and moment) of the "unusable fuel" is indicated in the


specifications, airworthiness sheets, etc.

130 T2 6.5
15-18 Page 1
COMPLEMENTARY FLIGHT MANUAL

2 WEIGHING PROCEDURES
The aircraft is weighed and the CG location is determined as follows:
- After the inventory has been made and the checks have been performed, level the
aircraft by means of the appropriate markings and using a clinometer, with the
landing gear off the ground.
- Check that the fuel cell is drained.
- The distances of the jacking points are defined by the manufacturer when the aircraft
is assembled on the jig.
- Record the weight measured at each jacking point.
- Compute the moment by multiplying the weight by the distance of the corresponding
jacking point.

n
- Calculate the sum of the moments.

io
- Divide the total moment by the total weight to obtain the aircraft CG location.

The empty weight (and CG) must include the weight of unusable fuel.

ct
As a general rule, these values are calculated from the "aircraft dry" weight.

7 N2 DATUM
nl

The VEMD computes the N2 datum (N2*) with a law depending on collective pitch
(XPC) and rudder pedal position (XPA). This datum is sent to the FADEC through the
O

crosstalk link. The function is computed by the two processing modules. In case of
discrepancy between the two lane computations or when one or both of the input
signals are invalid, a backup value is sent to the FADEC.
In order to avoid high transients of N2* and as a consequence high variations of NR and
torque, the VEMD limits the variation of N2*.
The N2* value can be displayed in the EECU data field.

a crash resistant tank, a supply system, a fuel pump, a gravity refueling filler and a
monitoring system. The second part comprises a LP pump, a fuel filter, an HP pump

mechanical unit is controlled by a Full Authority Digital Engine Control system (FADEC)
and a back-up system.

n
2 HELICOPTER FUEL SUPPLY SYSTEM

io
The fuel tank is located in the body structure beneath the transmission deck and is
equipped with a fuel low level sensor and a gauge system. The tank also includes a fuel

ct
pump and a decanting sump with a water drain valve. A venting pipe on the RH side
and a filler on the LH side are fitted to the tank. The fuel is then supplied to the engine

tru
via a fuel shut-off valve. A return fuel line drains the excess engine fuel.

3 ENGINE FUEL SUPPLY SYSTEM


The fuel is first drawn by the engine low pressure pump, then through the fuel filter by
ns
the high pressure pump. The filter is fitted with a by-pass, a pressure transmitter and a
pressure/temperature transmitter which determines the pre-clogging level of the filter.
Heated by the combined fuel/oil heat exchanger of the oil filter assembly, the fuel is
then delivered to the hydro-mechanical unit of the FADEC. An engine fuel control back-
rI

up system allows the fuel flow to be controlled via a back-up valve in case of a total
FADEC system failure. The heat exchanger allows operation at –20°C without anti-ice
additive in the fuel.
fo

The fuel flows through a shut-off solenoid valve which enables the engine to be shut
down and then through a pressurizing valve before entering the main injector and the
injection wheel.
A three-way electro valve distributes the fuel to two starting injectors during the starting
y

phase. To prevent carbonization, they are supplied with P3 air once the starting
sequence is over.

During the shutdown sequence a purge valve drains the fuel remaining in the main
injection system

5 FUEL FLOW CONTROL


The fuel flow is managed by a FADEC system. Based on a dual channel digital engine
control unit called Electronic Engine Control Unit (EECU), in normal flight mode the
principle is to control the power turbine speed (N2) independently of the power drawn
from the engine by adjusting the gas generator speed (N1). The EECU provides fuel
flow modulation via a stepper motor which operates a metering valve in the engine’s
hydro-mechanical unit (HMU).
At each engine start, channel "A" or "B" of the FADEC, which controls the HMU, is
automatically switched over to avoid dormant failures.

- FADEC functions

n
Installed on the airframe, in the rear cargo bay, the EECU provides the following

io
functions:
Automatic engine starting, preventing TOT overlimit,
Proportional integral power turbine speed control,

ct
Protection against engine surge and flame out during transients,
Bleed valve monitoring,

Failure detection and indication,


Engine health check (EHC),
tru
Protection against N1,TOT and torque overlimits,
ns
Usage, N1 and N2 cycle counting,

- FADEC power supplies


rI

The FADEC system electrical power supply is designed in such way that normal
engine operation is independent from the helicopter electrical system as soon as the
gas generator speed is sufficient (N1 > 60%). The FADEC electrical supplies are:
fo

The helicopter 28 VDC system,


An alternator with 2 independent channels driven by the gas generator.

The helicopter electrical power supply remains necessary in all operating conditions:

If the N2 datum is not received by the FADEC it reverts to an N2 of 394 rpm (NR
equivalent) and GOV comes on.
fo

If the FADEC detects an autorotation or a very low power setting, it automatically

- Fuel governor back-up system ( GOV and steady GOV )


The back-up governor takes control of the engine fuel flow governing. It is based
on an electronic computer, the Engine Back-up Control Ancillary Unit (EBCAU),
independent from the FADEC. It controls the N2 to 390 ± 2 rpm.
The back-up governor is activated immediately after a total FADEC failure
detection.
The back-up governor may also be activated by the pilot on ground for
maintenance purpose. At the end of the test, the back-up valve returns to neutral
position.
Controlled by the EBCAU through a N2 control loop, a DC actuator operates the

n
back-up metering valve which closes or opens slots partly in series and partly in
parallel within the main metering valve of the engine’s hydro-mechanical unit. This

io
increases or decreases fuel flow, depending on the fixed fuel flow delivered by the
frozen FADEC main metering valve.
When the FADEC is operative, the back-up system is maintained in the neutral

ct
position (safety device).
A maintenance test of the EBCAU is to be performed periodically on the ground to

tru
check the back-up system. At the end of the test, the EBCAU will automatically set
the back-up valve back to the neutral position when the system is reset (EBCAU test
switch back to OFF).

- Automatic 2nd chance engine start


During the engine starting procedure if the ignition does not occur after 5 sec. when
N1 > 17%, the EECU automatically stops the starting procedure, lets the N1
decrease to N1 = 10% and then automatically launches a new starting sequence.

3 NORMAL OPERATION
The AVCS is operative as soon as the helicopter power systems are energized when
[AVCS] is not set to OFF position.
The AVCCPA processes the Rotor Synchronous Signal (RSS), the identification matrix,
the acceleration data from the accelerometers, and outputs control signals to the
actuators for damping the helicopter vibrations.

4 SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION
The identification phase is performed after a maintenance operation on the AVCS
system. It is initiated by the switch (SSUI) located in the cargo compartment.
When the switch (SSUI) is pressed (> 1sec.), the AVCCPA outputs a signal to the other
AVCS components to harmonize the system according to the structure response.
The AVCCPA then computes the "identification matrix" which will be used as a system
reference.
In order to obtain correct results, the helicopter must be on its skids with all cabin and
cargo doors closed during the procedure which takes about 2 min. to complete.
It is recommended to perform the procedure with external power or with a well charged
battery.

n
The helicopter vibrates slightly during system identification.
The vibrations stop at the end of the test.

5 SYSTEM FAILURES

ct
- Degraded mode
In case of degraded mode, the system may still operate but with a reduced efficiency.

tru
On ground, the pilot is notified for 30 sec. when NR is below 235 rpm by flashing of
the FAIL indicator light of the [AVCS] pushbutton.
- Failure mode
In case of failures leading to an inoperative system, the pilot is notified by the
ns
illumination of the FAIL indicator light of the [AVCS] pushbutton, the system is
automatically switched off.
In case of an abnormal vibration level, the pilot can switch off the system by setting
rI

[AVCS] to OFF position .

The system then continues to operate in passive mode, the AVCA actuators behave
fo

as passive absorbers.
It is possible to re-engage the system on ground or in flight with the [AVCS]
pushbutton.

SECTION 9.1
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CARGO SLING OPERATIONS

1 PERSONNEL TRAINING
Cargo sling operations may only be conducted by pilots who already have considerable
experience with this type of aircraft.
No pilot should perform solo external load flights without first having accomplished such
operations with a qualified instructor.

n
Mechanics on ground duty must be fully informed by the pilot before each new
operation, in particular as regards:

io
- Their position on the ground considering the proposed flight path,
- The direction in which to move away,

ct
- The hook-up operation,
- Hand signals to be used or radio instructions,
-
-
-
tru
Protective equipment: helmets, gloves, goggles, glasses (if applicable),
The number of round trips between replenishments,
The manner of retrieving slings and nets.
- Static discharge risks.
ns
2 MANDATORY PRE-OPERATIONAL CHECKS
rI

- Helicopter Condition:
In addition to the normal pre-flight checks of the helicopter, the release unit must be
carefully inspected and the mechanism checked for correct release operation.
fo

- Condition of sling equipment:


The nets, straps and slings must be examined thoroughly. Any worn or frayed
components are to be discarded.
The cables, strops and shackles must be capable of carrying three times the
y

maximum anticipated load.


nl

NOTE
Equipment used for carrying external loads (such as long line with additional
O

hooks) shall be qualified for this purpose.

130 T2 9.1
15-18 Page 1
COMPLEMENTARY FLIGHT MANUAL

- Preparation of loads:
Make sure that all participants are well aware of the weight of the loads.
Ensure that the method of suspension is understood.
- Condition of loading and unloading areas:
Remove or tie down all that might be displaced by the rotor downwash.
- Total weight of helicopter with load:
Define maximum acceptable load compatible with terrain configuration and
atmospheric conditions. The maximum all up weight of the aircraft is that at which
OGE hover can be held over the higher of the take-off or landing platforms.

3 AIRBORNE LOADS

n
Heavy loads, such as bags of cement or drums of kerosene, which are carried in a net,
present no particular problem.

io
Special precautions must be taken in the case of bulky loads, which have a tendency to
oscillate and even to "float" during transport on the sling.

ct
Permeability to air can have a stabilizing effect on a bulky load: for example, a cable-car
should be carried with its doors open.
tru
Never carry an airfoil alone: There is a great risk of the airfoil flying up into the tail rotor.

If several cables are used to sling the load, they must be long enough to form an angle
ns
of less than 45° between cables at the point of suspension under the helicopter;
experience shows that oscillation of the load is thus less likely to occur.

On the other hand, if the load is slung on a single sling cable, it is preferable that a fairly
rI

short cable be used as there is then less risk of the load swinging, and it is easier to
judge the height of the load during approach.

For the retrieval of crashed helicopters, it is generally possible to use a lifting ring on the
fo

rotor mast.
Airplanes are carried using straps passing under the fuselage or under the wings. The
cables must be attached in such a way that the airplane is in a slight nose-down
attitude when the helicopter is in hover.
y
nl
O

130 T2 9.1
15-18 Page 2
COMPLEMENTARY FLIGHT MANUAL

4 IN-FLIGHT PRECAUTIONS
After hooking on the load, the ground mechanic is to check the position of the sling
cables then move away. The pilot must then make sure that the mechanic has moved
clear and then be advised by signs that he may lift off the load.
Power must be applied slowly enough to allow the helicopter to center itself above the
load.
A vertical take-off must be made, avoiding dragging the load along the ground or
striking any obstacle.
If the load starts to swing, slowly reduce speed or make a gentle left turn.
Approach must be made head into the wind with gradual reduction in airspeed, and

n
transition into hover high enough above the ground to eliminate the risk of dragging the
load.

io
Set the load down, then reduce collective pitch sufficiently to slacken the cables before
opening the release unit hook; this also allows the pilot to ensure that the load is

ct
deposited. If the cables are long enough, move sideways a little before opening the
hook, to prevent the ring and tackle from falling onto the freight.
Even after the mechanic has signaled that the load is released, move away as if it were
tru
not; this is an advisable precaution against possible misinterpretation of signals.
Never fly away with an empty net or an unballasted sling.

properly with each ring.
- A placard located on both sides of the A/C illustrates the following:
Cables, straps, ropes, etc. must not be used directly on the cargo hook,
Only one primary ring linked to a unique secondary ring shall be attached to the
cargo hook.

SECTION 9.3
EMERGENCY LOCATOR TRANSMITTER
(KANNAD INTEGRA AP-H)

1 GENERAL
The KANNAD INTEGRA AP-H radio beacon is an emergency transmitter with built-in
GPS which is used to locate the helicopter in case of an emergency.
It transmits simultaneously on the international frequencies of 121.5 MHz and

n
406.025 MHz.

io
To avoid power consumption, the GPS receiver is not power supplied in "ARM" mode.
After a crash (automatic activation) or manual activation, the GPS will try to acquire a
position in continuous mode during one hour and by different sequences up to 24 hours

ct
of transmission. If the GPS receiver acquires a valid position, then the message will
contain the true position in the next 406.025 MHz burst. If the GPS receiver does not
acquire a valid position, then the message will contain the default value (GPS position
not valid).
tru
The transmitter starts operating automatically in case of impact. It may be switched on
manually via the switch located on the lower face of the transmitter or via the remote
control switch located on the instrument panel.

NOISE REDUCTION

1 GENERAL
- Choose a flight path as far as possible from sensitive areas; otherwise, fly alongside
the noisiest land routes (highways, railways),
- Fly at least at 1000 ft AGL,
- Fly if possible on the downwind side of sensitive areas,

n
- Maintain as much as possible steady flight, avoiding large pedal movements or over-
control,

io
- Leave sensitive areas by turning to the right.

ct
2 OPERATING IN SENSITIVE AREAS
- Fly-over:
tru
Select IAS = 110 kt (204 km/h) for OAT = + 25°C,
Increase IAS slightly if OAT is higher, and inversely,
If possible, increase height to reduce the noise.
ns
- Take-off and climbing from a helipad in a sensitive area:
After the shortest possible acceleration phase, once Vy is reached, set to MCP
rI

while maintaining Vy.

- Approach and landing on a helipad in a sensitive area:


Select IAS = 60 kt (111 km/h), with a rate of descent close to 1000 ft/min
fo

(305 m/min.).

- Take-off from and landing on a helipad in a non sensitive area but adjacent to
neighboring sensitive areas (seaside areas for example):
y

If possible choose a take-off path opposite to the sensitive area.


nl

Accelerate until Vy is reached, then start climbing at this speed with MCP,
If possible for landing, choose a path facing the sensitive area.
Approach at Vy with a rate of descent close to 500 ft/min (2.5 m/sec.).
O

- Maneuvers near the ground (around hovering) in a sensitive area:


Avoid unnecessary hovering,
Avoid quick and repetitive pedal movements,
Prefer right spot turns.
