NOTES:
(1) Numbers are U.S.A. Specifications and Standards. Prefix symbols are defined as follows: AMS − American
Material Standard; MS − Military Standard; MIL − Military Specification; Single, double or triple alpha prefix
of same letter − Federal Specification; AN − Air Force−Navy Aeronautical Standard; NAS − National
Aerospace Standard.
(2) Primary selection. Any equivalent material may be used as an alternate selection.
(3) Use best comparable grade material when conformity of available materials of same type with listed
Specification No. cannot be determined.
(4) Several types of original protective treatment are used on magnesium alloy parts. With paint removed,
treatment process should be identifiable from coating appearance as outlined in following table. Parts
should not be reprocessed either completely or partially without first contacting MDHI Customer Service
Department. However, regardless of original process used, chromic acid brush−on treatment (Dow #19, or
equivalent) is acceptable for touchup of coatings removed by abrasion, scratches or rework.
(5) When ordering paint from Advance Coating and Chemicals, specify each paint by type (i.e., acrylic, epoxy,
polyurethane), by color, and by AC part number. Also include compatible HS or Fed. Std. No. to ensure that
correct type and color paint is provided. The color code numbers for finish paints used on new Model 369
helicopters are now being entered in helicopter log books prior to delivery of aircraft. Owners/operators of
earlier models should check sales order for paint numbers listed and enter them in some log books, or
sales orders. If so, ensure when ordering Advance Coating paints that AC No. and SA No. are compatible.
(6) Do not use over 50 psig air pressure for abrasive cleaning method. Mask or shield threaded areas or
critical surfaces where damage may result from abrasive blasting.

Determination of Excessive Wear or Damage


NOTE: Wear tolerances are provided in this manual whenever practical. In addition, excessive wear or damage
can usually be determined by visual inspection as shown in the following table.
QUESTIONABLE WEAR / DAMAGE CONDITIONS * YES / NO /
1 Is the condition dangerous for flight
2 Is the condition on a highly stressed part of the helicopter
3 Could the condition contribute to failure of another part
4 Will the condition continue to worsen at the same rate (or faster)
5 Does the condition affect the quality of performance, function or appearance
*Any check mark ( √ ) in the YES column indicates that the part is worn or damaged excessively and should be
replaced with a new or serviceable unit.

Technical Terms Definition
(Figure 2−10)
Abrasion − An area of roughened scratches or marks; usually caused by
foreign matter between moving parts or surfaces.
Arced − Visible effects (burn spots, fused metal) of an undesired electrical
discharge between two electrical connections.
Axial play − The back and forth movement of a part along the line (shaft, tube or
bolt) about which it rotates; usually a bearing.
Backlash 8 The lost motion between two mating gear teeth; the amount the first
has to move owing to distance between tooth contact surfaces.
Bent 9 Sharp deviation from original line or plane; usually caused by lateral
force.
Binding − Restricted movement such as tightened or sticking condition
resulting from misalignment or jamming.
Blend − To form or smooth metal or fiberglass so there is no sharp change
or line from one area to another.
Blister − An enclosed raised spot or bulge, usually with a void underneath.
Bowed 10 Curved or gradual deviation from original line of plane; usually
caused by lateral force.
Brinnelled 21 Circular surface indentions on bearing races; usually caused by
repeated shock loading of the bearing: i. e., ball or roller indention.
Broken 17 Separated by force into two or more pieces.
Burning − Surface damage due to excessive heat; usually caused by improper
fit, defective lubrication, overtemperature operation.
Burrs − A sharp projection or rough edge remaining after machining or
rework.
Chafed − Frictional wear damage; usually caused by two rubbing together
with limited motion.

Magnetic−particle − The method used to detect cracks, flaws or defects in ferrous metal
inspection which are too small or in such a position that they cannot be seen
with the naked eye. Two distinct magnetic fields are established
around a flaw in ferrous metal. By submerging the specimen into a
solution containing iron filings and exposing it to a magnetic field,
the iron filings, attached to the ferrous specimen, form a pattern
about the flaw.

resistance.
Peripheral − The outer surface or edge of a body.
Pitted 7 Small irregular shaped hollows in the surface; usually caused by
corrosion, chipping or heavy electrical discharge.

play between parts is often required.)
Plugged − Pipe, hoses, tubing, channeling, internal passage, etc., which are
totally or partially blocked.
Preload − The exact clamping force applied to bearing races or mating parts
to eliminate the possibility of play during operation; usually
established in bearings by shimming and measuring rotational drag
torque.

from the line (shaft, tube or bolt) about which it rotates; usually a
bearing.

NOTE: The 0.50 inch (12.7 mm) diameter tracking tip cap reflector size should be used as a guide for estimating
track accuracy. For example: a reflector image displaced a half diameter upward or downward indicates that
the corresponding blade tip is approximately 0.250 inch (6.35 mm) out of track; one full reflector diameter
indicates 0.50 inch (12.7 mm) out of track.

I = Battery charging current;
AH = Ampere−hour capacity of battery, based on the 2−hour discharge rate;
C = Charging factor from the graph above.
