UPDATING
1 GENERAL
This Manual is updated periodically through Rush Revisions (RR) or Normal Revisions
(RN).
2 REVISIONS
n
The Manufacturer makes every effort to keep this Manual updated by revisions to
io
complete the user's information and capabilities. Each revision is accompanied by
instructions summarizing the major points affected by the change and advising the
person responsible for incorporating the revised pages in the Manual. (The instruction
ct
sheet can be filed separately from the Manual).
The user is responsible for ensuring proper updating of the Manual complying with the
tru
List of Pages given at the beginning of PART 1, PART 2 and of each supplement, since
each of the these PARTS or Supplements is revised separately.
The composition must be checked by number of page and by the date code. The date
code is composed of the last two digits of the year, followed by the number of the week
ns
in that year.
2.1 NORMAL REVISIONS (RN) PRINTED ON WHITE PAPER

rI
Normal revisions fully or partially update the Manual. The pages may be new pages
or may supersede the existing pages.
fo
They are printed on white paper.

The Manual effectivity is specified on the new list of approved effective pages
(0.0.P5, SUP.0.P5 and/or APP.X.X.P5).
Normal revisions are identified in numerical order.
y
nl
2.2 RUSH REVISIONS (RR) PRINTED ON YELLOW PAPER

Rush revisions partially update a few major points in the Manual.
O
The new information is given on a page which must face the former text to be
modified or completed.
The Rush Revision is printed on yellow paper.
No white page is deleted.
The revised pages are specified on a separate list (0.0.P4 or SUP.0.P4).
APPROVED 130 T2 1.2

15-18 Page 1
FLIGHT MANUAL
Rush revisions are identified by the number of the next normal revision and a letter
suffix in normal alphabetical order. Several rush revisions may be issued between
two normal revisions. All rush revisions are cancelled when the normal revision
bearing the same number is issued. If certain rush revision provisions remain after
the subsequent normal revision, they are confirmed by a new rush revision with
another identification code.
2.3 CONDITIONAL REVISIONS (RC) PRINTED ON PINK PAPER

The revised manual issued on white pages, corresponds to the recommended
standard.
n
For helicopters authorized to fly at an earlier standard, the conditional revision (RC)
retains the previous standard.
io
The user is responsible for embodiment of the aircraft modification(s) required for
compliance with the recommended standard, after which the pink pages may be
ct
deleted under the user's responsibility.
The pink pages are specified on a separate list (0.0.P3 or SUP.0.P3).
tru
NOTE
These pages are unaffected by normal and rush revisions or by customization.
ns
2.4 THE "ERRATUM" PROCEDURE
In the case of minor errors (typing errors, bad printing) likely to affect the
understanding of the text, the "ERRATUM" procedures are used to make quick
rI
corrections between revisions. In this case, the pages affected by the procedures are
re-issued completely and the date code is underlined for identification. These pages
are summarized on an accompanying sheet which is not identified.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
1 GENERAL
Emergency procedures describe the actions that the pilot must take relative to the
various possible failures that can occur.
Meanwhile, depending on the many variable external environments, such as the type of
terrain overflown, the pilot may have to adapt to the situation according to his
experience.
n
To help the pilot in his decision process, four recommendations are used:
io
LAND IMMEDIATELY
Self explanatory.
ct
LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
Emergency conditions are urgent and require landing at the nearest landing site at
which a safe landing can be made.
tru
LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE
Emergency conditions are less urgent and in the pilot's judgment, he may proceed to
the nearest airfield where he can expect appropriate assistance.
ns
CONTINUE FLIGHT
Continue flight as planned. Repair at the destination according to the maintenance
manual.
rI
NOTE
Immediate actions that the pilot shall take are written in bold characters.

3.2 ENGINE HEALTH CHECK PROCEDURE

nl
The engine health check consists in checking the power margin

(TRQ MARGIN ISO N1) and (TRQ MARGIN ISO TOT).
Checking can be performed using the VEMD data (refer to paragraph 3.2.1) or
O
manually recorded parameters (refer to paragraph 3.2.2).
APPROVED 130 T2 5.1

3.2.1 FADEC engine health check

- The engine health check is performed in level flight at MCP, heating and
demisting system and ECS* OFF.
- Prefer an altitude where the engine is operating close to the N1 MCP limit.
- Stabilize level flight at MCP for at least 2 min. before initiating the engine health
check.
- Read the results displayed on VEMD after the end of the procedure.
- The engine health check is satisfactory if:
TRQ MARGIN / TOT is 0%, "GOOD" displayed,
n
and
TRQ MARGIN / N1 is 0%,"GOOD" displayed.
io
3.2.2 Manual procedure
ct
- The engine health check is performed in level flight at MCP, heating and
demisting system and ECS* OFF.
tru
- Prefer an altitude where the engine is operating close to the N1 MCP limit.
- Stabilize level flight at MCP for at least 2 min. before recording the following
parameters: TRQ, N1, NR, Hp, OAT and TOT.
NOTE
ns
The altimeter must be set to 1013.2 hPa to display Hp.
Refer to the ENGINE HEALTH CHECK charts (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2). Use the charts in
rI
the direction shown by the arrows in the examples.

Torque Margin ISO N1 Calculation (Fig. 1)
- Plot point P on the chart according to the recorded N1 and OAT parameters.
fo
- Plot point P according to Hp, then note the normalized TRQ value.
- Plot point P' according to the recorded NR parameter then note the TRQ
correction value.
The result is calculated as follows:
y
- TRQ min = normalized TRQ + TRQ correction.

nl
- TRQ MARGIN ISO N1 = TRQ flight TRQ min.

O
(*) If installed
APPROVED 130 T2 5.1

FLIGHT MANUAL
Torque Margin ISO TOT Calculation (Fig. 2)

- Plot point T on the chart according to the recorded TOT and Hp.
- Plot point T according to OAT parameters.
- Plot point T'' according to Hp, then note the NORMALIZED TRQ value.
- Plot point T''' according to the recorded NR parameter, then note the
TRQ CORRECTION value.
The result is calculated as follows:

- TRQ min = normalized TRQ + TRQ correction.
- TRQ MARGIN ISO TOT = TRQ flight TRQ min.
The engine health check is satisfactory if:
n
- "TRQ MARGIN ISO N1" value is positive.
and
io
- "TRQ MARGIN ISO TOT" value is positive.
NOTE
ct
The manual procedure may lead to different results compared to the FADEC
procedure because it is less sophisticated. Preference shall be given to the
tru
use of FADEC procedure and the manual one should only be used if the
FADEC procedure gives obviously doubtful or incorrect results.
