INTRODUCTION
SCOPE
z The manual meets all FAA requirements for APPROVED DATA and
that data is so designated.
ORGANIZATION
z z SECTION I GENERAL
z A page number and date summary lists the numbers and date of the
most recent change. The summary for non-FAA approved data is in
the front matter (preceding this section); a similar summary is
provided for FAA approved data in Section II, for all information in
Sections II through V.
NOTE: Notes are used to expand and explain the pre ceding/fol-
lowing step and provide fuller understanding of the reason for the
particular opera tion.
CAUTION
Cautions are used to alert the individual that dam age to equip -
ment may result if the procedural step is not followed to the let-
ter.
WARNING
HELICOPTER DESCRIPTION
z Advanced and proven technology has been used in the design and
construction of the aircraft resulting in high payload to empty weight
ratio, passenger and crew safety, handling and superior performance
capabilities when operating during adverse density altitude
conditions. Low maintenance requirements are another bonus
feature.
HELICOPTER CERTIFICATION
z The power plant is the Rolls Royce Model 250-C20W gas turbine
engine.
z The overrunning clutch transmits power from the engine to the drive
shafts. The clutch needs no external controls and disengages
automatically during autorotation and engine shutdown. A short
drive shaft connects the engine to the lower drive pulley. A flexible
banded-V belt connects the lower pulley to the larger upper pulley
which houses the overrunning clutch.
z Two doors are installed on the helicopter, one on each side for entry
and egress of personnel. Transparent windows with rotational air
vents are contained in the doors. Additional air vents are located on
each side of the instrument panel and overhead in front of the cockpit
bulkhead.
z The tail rotor transmission is mounted on the aft end of the aft
fuselage and has a self-contained lubricant system. The tail rotor is
mounted on the output shaft of the tail rotor transmission and
consists of two variable pitch blades.
z The main rotor group consists of three main rotor blades, a fully
articulated main rotor hub assembly, and a swashplate and associated
mixer control mechanisms. The helicopter is equipped with (3)
269D1120-1 cambered main rotor blades.
z The pilot’s cyclic control stick and adjustable tail rotor control
pedals are directly in front of the pilot’s seat. The collective pitch
control stick is located on the left of the pilot’s seat. The entire
control system is a mechanically linked type. The copilot’s controls
are similar for the dual control installation.

z Always ap proach the aircraft from the front, where the pilot can see
you. Beware of slopes. The main rotor is closer to you as you walk
down a hill toward the heli copter.
z Keep loose belong ings (purses, coats, briefcases) clear of all the
con trol sticks and pedals.
z If you are in the center seat, keep clear of items on the instrument
panel.
z Depart the helicop ter to the front and beware of turning rotors.
Keep hands and arms low.

List of Figures
z z Solo flight from other than the PIC position. (Refer to Section 4 for
identification of PIC position.)
NOTE: When three sets of controls are installed in the air craft, one
of the oc cupants must hold a he li copter CFI rat ing. In non-training
operations, it is recommended that the center set of controls be re -
moved. (Control set includes: cyclic stick, col lec tive stick, and tail
ro tor ped als.) Controls may be re moved by pi lot. Refer to para -
graph 7-12 for col lec tive stick installation and removal.
CAU TION
Damage to the main rotor blade and aft fu selage can result due
to the re duction in clearance between the two with the tracking
re flectors in stalled. The con dition is am pli fied by the flexing of
the blades that occur during an autorotation touchdown.
NOTE: Main rotor blade tracking re flec tors are installed for main-
te nance flights only as dictated in the Hand book of Mainte nance
In structions.
z The operation of the Model 269D has been demonstrated after prolonged
exposure to -17.8°C (0°F) ground ambient temperature, which was the
minimum temperature achieved in cold weather testing.
z Whenever the helicopter has been parked outside or has been ex-
posed to blowing or falling snow, determine that the engine inlet
area and all helicopter exterior surfaces are completely free of accu-
mulation of ice and snow.
CAU TION
Turn off flashing anti-collision lights dur ing pro longed hover
or ground oper ation over concrete or wa ter to avoid possi ble
pilot dis orienta tion. At pi lot’s dis cretion, turn off anti-colli -
sion and landing light when en tering fog, or haze to preclude
optical illusions or spatial disorien tation.
z Further flight is prohibited until fuel system is purged (refer to HMI) after
any of the following conditions have occurred:

l Use compressed air to dry and remove excess moisture from filter
assembly. Remove any standing puddles of water inside the plenum
chamber.
NOTE: On transmission input pinion gear oil seals with less than two
hours of operation, some seepage or wetting of adjacent surfaces is
normal until seal is wetted and worn in (seated). If seepage continues at
a rate of one drop per minute or less, seal may continue in service.
Check transmission oil level and observe seepage rate after every two
hours of operation. Shorter inspection periods may be required if seal
leakage appears to be increasing.
l Ensure that fuel cell is full (topped off), and that oil in engine oil tank
and main and tail rotor transmissions is at full level.
Note: Avoid closing valve after engine shutdown until engine com-
partment has cooled to near ambient temperature.
l Return to service:
l Torque wrenches:
The hourmeter(s) (standard and/or optional) should not be used as the sole
means for determining the number of flight hours used. Flight hours
recorded by the pilot should be used to confirm the accuracy of the
hourmeter(s) reading.

SECTION I
This supplement contains basic operation instructions for optional avionics and
instrumentation which may be installed on the aircraft. As installed optional
equipment varies with each aircraft, it is the pilot’s responsibility to become
familiar with the operation and function of all installed equipment.
This supplement must be carried in the applicable basic FAA approved 330 Model
269D Rotorcraft Flight Manual when the rotorcraft is equipped with any of the
optional instruments or avionics whose operation is contained herein.
SECTION II
Limitations
The installation of optional equipment listed in this supplement is for VFR aircraft,
only, and does not make the aircraft eligible for flight into IFR or IMC conditions.
If this aircraft has an installed GPS Navigation System, a placard (GARMIN P/N
161-00024-00, S.A.C. P/N 269A4646-265, or equivalent) stating “GPS limited to
VFR use only” must remain installed on the instrument panel, in plain view of the
pilot.
If this aircraft has an installed GPS Navigation System, the GPS manufacturer’s
operation manual must be immediately available to the flight crew.
SECTION III
SECTION IV
Normal Procedures
The PA position on the KMA 24H permits the flight crew to address cabin
occupants over the cabin speaker (if installed). To do this, select “PA” with
the microphone switch. When the mike is keyed, the receiver audio is
muted and you may talk normally into the microphone to broadcast over the
speaker.
The KMA 24H has “AUTO COMM” capability and always provides
automatic headphone audio selection to match the transceiver in use. The
selection of speaker audio can be made manually with the row of speaker
audio select push buttons.
The KMA 24H has an “EMG” position on the microphone selector. This
feature bypasses the KMA 24H’s audio amplifier and directly connects
COMM 1 to the pilot’s microphone and headphones. This provides a
fail-safe method of communication should the unit fail.
The KMA 24H also has an “EXT” position on the microphone selector
switch which connects the microphone to an external ramp hailer speaker,
if installed.
Turn it to the fully clockwise detent position for hot mike operation. Turn
the knob all the way counter-clockwise past the detent for keyed
microphone operation. (Note: a separate intercom key switch must be
included in the installation in order to use keyed intercom operation.) In
the middle range, the switch selects VOX, and the rotation of this knob also
adjusts the sensitivity of the voice activated switch.
In order to set the proper VOX sensitivity, first turn the VOX sensitivity
control clockwise until a hissing sound is heard in the headphones. Next
turn the control counter-clockwise until the hissing sound stops. The VOX
is now properly set for the present noise environment. It is normal to have
to reset the VOX sensitivity level whenever the noise in the cockpit/cabin
changes, such as when making large power setting changes.
The inner concentric knob is the intercom volume control. This adjusts the
intercom volume without affecting the volume of the selected receiver
audio inputs.
When either the pilot or copilot keys the microphone to transmit, all other
intercom microphone inputs are muted, which ensures that the keyed
microphone is the single source of transmitted audio. All receiver inputs
are also muted during transmissions.
RECEIVER SELECTION
The top row of push buttons on the console controls the audio selection for
the speaker, and the bottom row selects audio for headphones. The
selections are independent, and any audio input can be selected for speaker
or headphones or both. These push buttons allow audio selection
independent of the AUTO feature described earlier.
The KMA 24H can control as many as six receivers. The KMA 24H has
two unswitched inputs for uses such as the radar altimeter audio alert or the
ring signal from a radiotelephone. To listen to a specific receiver, simply
press the corresponding headphone or speaker button “in.” To disconnect
that receiver, press the button again. It will return to the “out” position.
For the KMA 24H, volume of audio input from transceivers and receivers is
set with the volume controls of each individual radio.
TRANSMITTER SELECTION
The rotary switch on the right side of the KMA 24H console selects the
desired transmitter for the cockpit microphones. The COMM 1 thru 5
positions are for transmitting on the frequencies set up on those respective
communication transceivers.
BENDIX/KING
ICS
This box operates like two voice activated intercom systems: a primary one
for the PILOT and a second one for the PASSENGERS. The center
mounted toggle switch controls who is connected to which intercom.
Switch down to “ALL” connects everybody to the PILOT’s intercom.
Switch in the center position to “PLT ISO” isolates the pilot to radios,
only (without music), and connects everybody else to the PASSENGER’s
intercom. Switch position up to “CREW” connects the copilot to the
PILOT’s intercom and leaves the passengers connected to their own
PASSENGER’s intercom.
The light below the toggle switch lights up amber, when the intercom is
keyed, and green, when the transmitter is keyed.
The left hand “ICS” intercom volume control knob adjusts all intercom
volume. If the optional music input jack is connected to an external music
source, the right hand MUSIC volume control knob adjusts the volume of
all added music.
The left hand “CREW VOX” intercom noise squelch control ring adjusts
the trigger level at which pilot or copilot voice will automatically key the
PILOT’s intercom. Turning this ring fully counterclockwise to “LIVE”
keeps this intercom always keyed. Turning this ring fully clockwise keeps
this intercom quiet (except for music) until it is manually keyed.
The right hand “PAX VOX” intercom noise squelch control ring adjusts
the trigger level at which passenger voice will automatically key the
intercom. Turning this ring fully counterclockwise to “LIVE” keeps their
intercom always keyed. Turning this ring fully clockwise keeps their
microphones quiet (except for music) until manually keyed.
When the pilot keys, he takes transmitter authority away from the copilot.
If the pilot’s mic key fails, he can switch to “PLT ISO” and then key his
mic (and not the copilot mic) by having someone press the copilot mic key.
If an AA85 internal amplifier fails but does not trip the “AUDIO AMP”
circuit breaker, the pilot may pull this circuit breaker, to get automatic
EMERGENCY switching of the pilot’s headset to direct radio connection.
The transmit selector control is a six position rotary switch that selects a
transmitter and it’s corresponding receiver audio. The fully clockwise
“EXPANSION PANEL” switch position allows transfer of
transmitter/receiver control to an auxiliary panel, such as an AA 30-016
with two or three more tactical radios. When a transmitter is keyed, audio
selected by the controller that is transmitting is muted, except for the
sidetone of the transceiver in use. Receive audio is automatically selected
as a function of the rotary selector switch. No additional switching is
needed, to establish external communication. During transmit, the
appropriate TX annunciator (green) will light on the panel. When not
transmitting, any of the row of five audio switches may be lifted, to add
their audio to the audio of the selected transmitter. The rotary knobs above
those five switches control their respective audio volume. There is also a
(blue, center OFF) toggle switch that may be lifted, to add audio from NAV
1, or lowered for Marker Beacon receiver audio.
When the mode switch selects ISO/EMER OPER function, this prevents the
pilot from receiving ICS audio. This is useful when passengers are
interfering with critical flight operations (landing, etc.).

Set the navigation receiver to the desired VOR/LOC station and rotate the
course select knob to adjust the selected course pointer to the desired
course radial. When a usable navigation signal is received by the KI 525A
the NAV warning flag will disappear from view.
The KI 525A lateral deviation bar represents the selected VOR/LOC course.
The relationship of the deviation bar to the symbol aircraft presents the
relationship of the selected course to the aircraft.
For ILS approach, tune the navigation receiver to the desired frequency.
For LOC and ILS front course operation the selected course pointer should
be set to the inbound localizer course. The glideslope pointer will deflect
into view after a 2 to 12 second delay if a usable glideslope signal is
received. The glideslope pointer indicates the relative position of the
glideslope path with respect to the aircraft. The heading bug (shown in the
lower right hand corner) provides no function on this aircraft.
The position of the deviation bar with respect to the symbolic aircraft
indicates the relative position of the selected course. For backcourse
operation set the course pointer to the inbound localizer course. The
deviation bar position relative to the symbolic aircraft then represents the
position of the backcourse with respect to the aircraft.
If the KI 525A HDG flag appears in view after the system has been
operating or will not go out of view after initial power up, the compass
information will not be reliable.
If the glideslope pointer remains out of view during ILS operation the
glideslope transmitter or the aircraft glideslope receiver is malfunctioning.
The localizer and heading displays will continue to function normally.
When two or more navigational receivers share the same display (CDI, HSI
or RMI), lighted indicator switches (with a push to switch feature) are
installed to “Annunciate” which NAV receiver is the source of the
displayed navigational information. The following NAV switching lighted
indicator switch options may be installed:
HSI RMI
NAV GPS NAV GPS
The HSI select switch function is for the green single bar pointer only. The
yellow double bar pointer is dedicated to the ADF.
The upper legend (CDI, HIS, RMI) is visible at all times and is backlighted
whenever the instrument panel lights are turned on. Only one of the two
lower legends (NAV, GPS, N1, N2) will be lighted at a given time. If
“NAV” or “GPS” is illuminated, the display information will be from the
source annunciated (“NAV” or “GPS”).
The CDI, HSI or RMI will not display GPS information until the GPS has
been activated to fly to waypoint.
both Mode A and Mode C (altitude) replies, and is the normal operating
mode.
Many pilots will only need to know that the (Mode A) reply code is usually
displayed, and that pressing a number button starts over writing in a new
reply code (left to right). During new code entry, theCLR button works as
a backspace, and the CRSR button cancels a partial (less than four number
button presses) entry. As expected, SBY switches the radio ON but allows
no replies, ON starts only Mode A replies, ALT starts both Mode A and C
replies, and OFF switches the transponder OFF (if held in for at least two
seconds). If the helicopter has an optional Avionics Master Switch, the
GTX 327 will remember which mode was selected before the Avionics
Master was switched OFF. There is no TEST mode to test the reply light
because there is no separate reply light; there is, instead, a circled “R” that
shows up on the lower left corner of the display, for a reply indicator. The
IDENT button activates 18 seconds of IDENT and adds the word “IDENT”
to the upper left corner of the display. The VFR button toggles to and from
a VFR code (usually 1200) from the entered Mode A reply code that is
remembered (even during shut down) until a new code is four button
entered. (The VFR code may be pilot selected, in the Configuration mode.)
Pressing the FUNC button advances the PRESSURE ALT part of the dis-
play through three different six digit stopwatch type timers: a FLIGHT
TIME duration timer, a similar COUNT UP timer, and a reverse operating
COUNT DOWN timer (that may all be operated simultaneously), and then
back to (encoder) altitude. Use the CRSR button and six presses of the
ten number buttons, to select the starting time for the count down timer.
The START/STOP button starts or stops (and the CLR button resets)
whichever timer is presently in view. When the COUNT DOWN timer
TEST - The unit will illuminate all segments and characters, in “TST." No
transponder replies are transmitted in “TST,” but display lighting level may
be adjusted.
On - The unit replies Mode A, only. The altitude display is blank. “ON” is
annunciated on the display. This mode is usually used to salvage position
reporting, when an altitude reporting malfunction or condition threatens to
preclude acceptable transponder use.
Altitude - This is the normal use mode. The unit sends a Mode A four digit
(one of 4096) “squawk” ID (identification) code and a Mode C encoded
altitude, in response to valid interrogations. The altitude information will be
shown as a FL, on the left half of the display. The four digit “squawk”
code will be displayed on the right half of the display. "ALT" and "FL"
are annunciated on the display, in this mode.
PUSH BUTTONS:
IDENT - Depressing the “IDT” push button causes the special position
identification pulse (SPI) to be appended to Mode A replies, for a period of
18 ± 2 seconds. During this period the KT 76C will annunciate the "R".
Buttons 0 through 7 are used to write (left to right) the four digit Mode A
“squawk” code, displayed in the right hand ident window of the display.
The CLR clear key works like a typewriter backspace key and erases
displayed identification code digits, from right to left. The Mode A code
may be selected in the Standby, On, and Altitude modes.
Three to four seconds after this code has been entered, or immediately after
the “IDT” pushbutton has been pressed, the new code is transmitted. This
code is written into non-volatile memory, so the code will be saved, when
the power is switched “OFF.”
DISPLAY:
REPLY - The display indicator “R”, is illuminated for 750 msec ± 100
msec when the transponder is replying to a valid interrogation, and during
the 18 ± 2 seconds SPI transmission, following pressing the IDT ident
button.
ALTITUDE DISPLAY:
The KT 76C displays the Flight Level altitude on the left side of the
display. The display is in hundreds of feet. “FL” is annunciated to
indicate Flight Level altitude. Flight Level is a term to indicate that
the altitude is not true altitude, but barometric altitude, which is
not corrected for local pressure. For Example, “Fl - 040" corresponds to an
altitude of 4000 feet, if mean sea level pressure is 29.92 inches of mercury.
The Flight Level altitude is only displayed when the altitude reporting is
enabled, i.e. in Altitude mode. If an invalid code from the encoder is
detected, dashes will appear in the altitude window. Altitude reporting is
disabled, if the altitude window is blank or has dashes.

The COMM works as soon as the C(omm) PWR/VOL volume control knob
is turned ON. After turn ON, the pilot will only be able to see and adjust
which frequencies are presently selected, by pressing the GPS ENTer
key(twice), to approve the GPS Aviation Database effectivity page,
displayed after the turn ON self test display page. The “C” knob is also the
squelch control key...you can press it for unsquelched MAXIMUM receiver
sensitivity. The first 2.3" of the left hand side of this radio functions as a
conventional VHF “NAV/COMM,” and the rest of the radio (center and
right hand side) functions only as a GPS navigation receiver, with moving
map display. The double ended arrow « key marked “C” is used to trade
the COMM active and standby frequencies. Pressing this key for more
than two seconds will always automatically tune the COMM transceiver
ACTIVE frequency to the 121.500 emergency frequency. Only the
standby frequencies may be changed by the COM/VLOC knob and ring.
An “RX” will show up beside the letters “COM” above the active
frequency, while receiving a transmission. A “TX” will show up above the
active frequency, during transmit. The GNS 430 will not transmit
continuously for longer than 35 seconds, even with a stuck mic key.
Please call the large knob at the lower left corner of the GNS 430 the
“COM ring,” and please call the small knob in its center (PUSH C/V) the
“COM knob.”
Also, please call the large knob at the lower right corner of the GNS 430
the “GPS ring,” and please call the small knob in its center (PUSH CRSR)
the “GPS knob.” The COM knob and ring tune the highlighted COMM
standby frequency, on the second line down, below the letters “COM.”
Pushing in on the COM knob shifts the frequency highlight below “VLOC”
(VOR/LOC/ILS), and the knob and ring then tune the VLOC standby
frequency. Pushing the COM knob (PUSH C/V) toggles the tuning control
(and cursor highlight) between COM and VLOC frequencies. However,
this control always defaults back to COM, after the COM knob or ring has
not been turned for the past 30 seconds.
The double ended arrow n key marked “V” is used to trade the VOR or
ILS active and standby frequencies. The little knob marked “V” is for
VOR or Localizer or ATIS volume; push this knob to hear the VOR or LOC
Morse code identifiers and see “ID,” by the “VLOC” frequencies.
IF there is a yellow flashing “MSG,” above the MSG key, press the
MSG (message) key once, to read the message, and again, to return
to the previous display. After first turn “ON” and ENT approval of
the Aviation Database effectivity pages, the next GPS page to
appear will be the satellite STATUS page, while the receiver is
looking for satellites (NAV page number 5). As soon as the GPS is
ready to navigate, the display switches to the moving map (NAV page
number 2). NAV is the first of four groups of pages that may be displayed
after turning the GPS ring fully counter clockwise (NAVIGATION,
WAYPOINT, AUXILLARY or NEAREST). Which group of pages is
displayed just above the FPL button, and the little boxes to the right fill in
to show which page of that group is being displayed. The GPS knob
selects which page in that group will be displayed.
Turn the GPS ring to select which type of pages. Then, turn the GPS knob,
to select your desired page. Then, push PUSH CRSR (the GPS knob), to
use the ring for scrolling up or down that page. To get emergency
NEAREST AIRPORT, turn the GPS ring fully clockwise (three or more
detent clicks) and then turn the GPS knob (many detent clicks) fully
counterclockwise, if necessary, to see the nearest airports (NRST page
number one). Then, push the GPS (PUSH CRSR) knob, to get a cursor.
Use the GPS ring to scroll the cursor through the nearest airports and their
tower (or common traffic advisory) frequencies. First use the ENT key to
transfer your chosen twr (or uni or mul) frequency to the COMM. Then,
use the ring to scroll to the airport identifier and use the D arrow key and
ENT key (twice) to navigate directly there.
At any time, press the D arrow “direct to” key and use the GPS knob and
ring to spell out a chosen way point (remember that ICAO says to start
USA all letter airport identifiers with “K”); then, press ENT twice, to
navigate directly there. Pressing the OBS button allows the pilot to
navigate along any chosen bearing to (or radial from) the waypoint, like
using the omni bearing selector for a VOR. Press the CLR button for more
than two seconds to default to NAV page one. NAV page one has (only) a
GPS course deviation indicator that can be repeated on a remote CDI or
HSI, by pressing the CDI button. The NAV 2 page is a moving map. The
left and right ends of the top GPS (RNG) button select the moving map’s
range, between 500’ and 2000 miles. The CLR button removes up to three
levels of additional map details. Use the MENU button (and ENT key) to
choose to display a larger map, or a small map with waypoint bearing and
distance and ground speed data along one side.
Detailed operation is described in the GARMIN GNS 530 Pilot’s Guide and
Reference (Garmin P/N 190-00181-00, Rev. A or later), which must be
immediately available to the flight crew. A 16 page abbreviated GNS 530
Quick Reference reminder (Garmin P/N 190-00181-01, Rev. B or later) is
also available. The following cursory instructions are for VFR USE,
ONLY.
COM/VLOC knob and ring. An “RX” will show up beside the letters
“COM” above the active frequency, while receiving a transmission. A
“TX” will show up above the active frequency, during transmit. The GNS
530 will not transmit continuously for longer than 35 seconds, even with a
stuck mic key.
Please call the large knob at the lower left corner of the GNS 530 the
“COM ring,” and please call the small knob in its center (PUSH C/V) the
“COM knob.” Also, please call the large knob at the lower right corner of
the GNS 530 the “GPS ring,” and please call the small knob in its center
(PUSH CRSR) the “GPS knob.” The COM knob and ring tune the
highlighted COMM standby frequency, on the second line down, below the
letters “COM.” Pushing in on the COM knob shifts the frequency highlight
to below “VLOC” (VOR/LOC/ILS), and the knob and ring then tune the
VLOC standby frequency. Pushing the COM knob (PUSH C/V) toggles the
tuning control (and cursor highlight) between COM and VLOC frequencies.
However, this control always defaults back to COM, after the COM knob
or ring have not been turned for the past 30 seconds.
The double ended arrow n key marked “V” is used to trade the VOR or
ILS active and standby frequencies. The little knob marked “V” is for
VOR or Localizer or ATIS volume; push this knob to hear the VOR or LOC
Morse code identifiers and see “ID,” by the “VLOC” frequencies.
IF there is a yellow flashing “MSG,” above the MSG key, press the MSG
(message) key once, to read the message, and again, to return to the
previous display. After first turn “ON” and ENT approval of the Aviation
Database effectivity and indicator self test pages, the next GPS page to
appear will be the satellite STATUS page, while the receiver is looking for
satellites (last NAV page). As soon as the GPS is ready to navigate, the
display switches to the moving map (NAV page number 2). NAV is the
first of four groups of pages that may be displayed after turning the GPS
ring fully counter-clockwise (NAVIGATION, WAYPOINT, AUXILIARY
or NEAREST). Which group of pages is displayed just above the FPL
button, and the little boxes to the right fill in to show which page of that
group is being displayed. The GPS knob selects which page in that group
will be displayed. Holding in the CLR key for longer than two seconds
switches from any page to NAV page one, which looks similar to an HSI,
laid over a moving GPS map.
Turn the GPS ring to select which type of pages. Then, turn the GPS knob,
to select your desired page. Then, push PUSH CRSR (the GPS knob), to
use the ring for scrolling up or down that page. To get emergency
NEAREST AIRPORT, turn the GPS ring fully clockwise (four or more
detent clicks) and then turn the GPS knob (many detent clicks) fully
counterclockwise, if necessary, to see the nearest airports (NRST page
number one). Then, push the GPS (PUSH CRSR) knob, to get a cursor.
Use the GPS ring to scroll the cursor through the nearest airports and their
tower (or common traffic advisory) frequencies. First use the ENT key to
transfer your chosen twr (or uni or mul) frequency to the COMM. Then,
use the ring to scroll to the airport identifier and use the Dg key and ENT
key (twice) to navigate directly there.
At any time, press the Dg “direct to” key, to get to the “SELECT Dg
WAYPOINT” page. Then, use the GPS knob and ring to spell out a chosen
way point (remember that ICAO says to start USA all letter airport
identifiers with “K”); then, press ENT twice, to navigate directly there.
Or, turn the GPS ring to scroll the cursor down to the “SELECT Dg
WAYPOINT” page third line; you can then use the GPS knob and ring to
spell out the name of a city and get its airport, without knowing its
identifier.
From the NAV two (moving map, north always up) page, press
PUSH/CRSR and then use the knob and ring to move the arrow to
your chosen waypoint. (Keep the RNG range select switch set at
50 miles or less, to make airports show up.) Then, press the Dg “direct to”
key and press ENT twice, to navigate directly there.
Pressing the OBS button allows the pilot to (press on, or press off) navigate
along any chosen bearing to (or radial from) the waypoint, like using the
omni bearing selector for a VOR, instead of navigating DIRECT TO the
waypoint. (Using the OBS mode will inhibit automatic redirecting to the
next waypoint of a selected FLIGHT PLAN route.)
The FPL button allows programming a pre selected FLIGHT PLAN route,
like flying long distances by navigating from VOR to VOR to VOR, except
that now any kind of waypoints may be used.
At any time, press the CLR button for more than two seconds to default to
NAV page one. NAV page one looks similar to an HSI, but it shows
aircraft ground track, moving up (not which way the nose is pointing). And
it has (only) a GPS course deviation indicator that can be repeated on a
remote CDI or HSI, by pressing the CDI button. The NAV two page is
only a moving map, with NORTH up. The top and bottom ends of the GPS
(RNG) rocker button select the moving map’s range, between 500’ and
2000 miles. The CLR button removes up to three levels of additional map
details (or gives them back). Use the MENU button (and ENT key) to
choose to display a larger map, or a small map with five fields of data (like
waypoint and bearing), along the right side of that map.
There is also very flexible ¾ inch square window under the VLOC
frequency window. The factory VOR/LOC Data “Defaults” provide THE
DECODED IDENTIFIER, on the top line and also VOR radial and distance
or LOCALIZER location, below the decoded identifier.
Or, the operator can use AUX page three, PUSH/CRSR, turn KNOB or
RING, press ENT, turn KNOB twice, to get “Configurable Data Fields,”
turn RING to move the cursor to the window top line, and then use the
KNOB to select one of all the possible GPS field choices and press ENT.
To change back to the factory default DECODED IDENTIFIER choice, use
the same AUX page three Data Field Configuration route and then the
MENU button to get the choice “Restore Defaults?” and press ENT.
Directly below this ¾ inch square window is a window that says “ENR,”
when proceeding to a waypoint 30 or more miles away and switches to
“TERM,” when less that 30 miles away. During an instrument approach,
this window would switch from “TERM” to “APR,” at 2 miles range.
The next (bottom) window down says “INTEG,” any time Receiver
Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) is not of satisfactory accuracy
for a GPS instrument approach.
When the ADF receiver is tuned to a station, the yellow ADF pointer
indicates the magnetic heading to the station. Thus, if the pilot desires to
fly toward the station, he merely turns his aircraft to the magnetic heading
indicated by the ADF pointer.
When the VOR receiver is tuned to a VOR station, the green VOR pointer
indicates the magnetic heading to the station. If the KI 229 is used in an
Area Navigation System, the VOR pointer indicates the magnetic heading
to the waypoint. The green pointer can also be made to give magnetic
heading for a second ADF receiver by the addition of an external switch
and installation of a second ADF receiver.
RMI OPERATION
The KI 229 Radio Magnetic Indicator provides bearing information to both
ADF and VOR stations by means of two pointers, each of which is read
against the compass card. The compass card displays heading information.
The double pointer is dedicated solely to ADF and is marked “ADF”. The
single pointer is assigned to VOR information. (Note: the single pointer
can be switched between VOR and ADF by means of an external switch as
explained in the installation manual of the KI229).
When the DME is in search mode, dashes are displayed instead of range,
speed, and time-to-station. An automatic dimming circuit adjusts the
brightness of the display to compensate for changes in ambient light level.
The audio output is used to identify the DME ground station being
received.
The effective range of the DME depends on many factors, most important
being the altitude of the aircraft. When the aircraft is on the ground, the
KN 62A usually will not receive DME stations due to line-of-sight signal
limitations. The distance measured by the DME is slant-range distance
(measured on a slant from aircraft to ground station) and should not be
confused with actual ground distance. The difference between ground
distance and slat-range distance is smallest at low altitude and long range.
In order to obtain accurate ground speed and time-to-station, the aircraft
must be tracking directly to or from the station.
4.10 KR 87 ADF
When the ADF is not in use of if a weak ADF signal is received the ADF
(yellow) pointer will park at 90° to the right of the lubber line.
The antenna mode (ADF button not depressed) is normally used for the
station identifying. Depressing the ADF button IN will cause the pointer of
the ADF indicator to point in the direction of the station tuned in the USE
window (if sufficient signal strength is present). Pushing the BFO (Beat
Frequency Oscillator) button will cause a 1000 Hz tone to be heard
whenever there is a radio carrier signal present at the selected frequency.
The BFO light will also be illuminated on the display. BFO operation is
primarily used in various parts of the world where L/MF stations use an
interrupted carrier for identification purposes.
Depressing the FLT/ET button will display the elapsed time (ET) or flight
time (FLT) in the stand-by window (the stand-by frequency will be stored
in memory). Depressing the FLT/ET will cycle the display between FLT
timer and ET timer. The flight timer automatically resets to 0:00 when the
unit is first turned on. The only way to reset the flight timer is to turn the
unit OFF then ON.
The elapsed timer will either count up or count down. When power is first
applied, it is automatically in the count up mode. The ET timer can be reset
to 0:00 by depressing the SET/RST (set/reset) button. The ET can be put in
countdown mode by depressing and holding the RST Button in, for
approximately 2 seconds, unit ET message begins to flash. With ET
flashing, the frequency control knobs can be rotated to enter any time
desired up to 59 minutes, 59 seconds. The ET timer will not start counting
down until RST button is depressed (Depressing the RST button will cause
the ET to start counting down regardless of current display in
STAND-BY/TIMER window). When timer reaches 0 it reverts back to
count up mode.
When passing the outer marker the blue light will flash “on/off” at a two
per second rate and the pilot will hear a series of low tone dashes.
When the aircraft passes the middle marker the pilot hears a medium
pitched tone in a series of dots and dashes and the amber light flashes
synchronously with the tones.
The inner marker is located close to the end of the runway. When the
aircraft passes the inner marker the pilot will hear a 3000 Hz tone in
headphone or speaker and the white lamp will be illuminated while over the
station. The inner marker is used to indicate a point approximately 1500 ft.
from the runway and if on proper glide path the altitude above the runway
should be approximately 100 feet.
The high sensitivity position may be used to effectively give the pilot an
advance indication that he is approaching the outer marker. In order to
expedite the ILS approach the pilot may wish to retain higher speed until he
is nearby the outer marker inbound. With the KR21 marker in high
sensitivity position the aural tone will begin about one mile from the outer
marker. At this time, the pilot may switch the marker to low sensitivity and
slow to final approach speed.
Note that you will have to press the ENTer button three more times after
KLX 135/135A turn ON, to see COMM active and standby frequencies
(two lines in upper left corner). If the display fails, see BLIND TUNING
FEATURE, in the KLX 135/135A Pilot’s Guide. The knobs and transfer
button on the left end of the KLX 135/135A control the VHF COMM. The
knobs tune the standby (lower) frequency; then press the transfer button to
move it to the (top) active frequency display. A “T” over the active
frequency decimal point means you are transmitting, and an “R” over that
point means you are receiving a transmission. Pull out the OFF/On knob
for maximum COMM receiver gain/squelch over ride and turn it to get a
comfortable COMM audio volume.
GPS
All other knobs and buttons, control the GPS. When there is a flashing
“M” under the COMM frequency display and/or the instrument panel
mounted “GPS MESSAGE” light is on, press the KLX 135/135A MSG
(message) button once to read the message and again to return to the
previous display. Press the D arrow “direct to” button and use the two right
side knobs to spell out a chosen waypoint (ICAO) identifier (remember that
USA all letter airport identifiers start with “K”). Then press ENTer twice,
to navigate directly there. See the KLX135/135A Pilot’s Guide for further
instructions.

SECTION I
General
This supplement must be carried in the applicable basic FAA approved 330
Model 269D Rotorcraft Flight Manual when the rotorcraft is equipped with
the Optional Engine Air Particle Separator Filter. Except as modified by
this flight manual supplement, operation in compliance with the basic
approved Rotorcraft Flight Manual is mandatory.
The Engine Air Particle Separator provides filtration of engine air. The
installation incorporates a particle separator filter, a bleed air operated
ejector system, and a gas spring operated bypass door. The particle
separator unit filters engine intake air by imparting centrifugal force to
separate heavy dirt particles from the mainstream of air entering the engine.
The ejector system, powered by engine compression air, boosts the
scavenge velocity increasing the efficiency of particle removal, and ejects
the dirt out of the aircraft. Should differential pressure exceed set limits,
the gas spring allows the bypass door to open, providing an alternate air
path to the engine plenum chamber. An indicator light on the instrument
panel illuminates when the bypass door is activated.

4.1 Preflight
a. Verify the searchlight, gimbal and mounting frame are me-
chanically sound by visual inspection and shake test by hand.
Verify all attachment hardware and safety wires are properly
attached. Verify light-gimbal clutch movement with friction.
CAUTION
4.2 Start-up
a. With engine at take-off rpm, check that the aircraft amp meter
reads less than 115 amps. Normal light operation requires up
to 35 amps during start and will decrease to 27 amps or less
during continuous operation.
b. To start the light, on the control box locate the
OFF-ON-START switch. Move the switch from the OFF posi-
tion to the START position. Hold the switch in the start posi-
tion until the lamp starts (3-5 seconds). Once the lamp starts,
release the switch. The switch will automatically move back
to the ON position for continued running. During start ob-
serve ammeter to ensure maximum aircraft amperage loading
limitation is not exceeded.

Weight and Balance
At the time of delivery, Schweizer Aircraft Corp. provides each rotorcraft
with an original weight and balance report and a list of equipment (equip-
ment both required and optional) installed on the helicopter at the time of
licensing. The removal or addition of any equipment can affect the basic
empty weight and center of gravity. Any change to the permanently in-
stalled equipment or modification, which affects weight or moment, must
be entered in the weight and balance record.
The weight and balance information for the removable external mounted
light unit is shown below. This weight does not include external mount,
control box, junction box and internal wiring.

· Two configurations of ground handling wheels are available for the he-
licopter; single wheel (stowed above landing gear skid tubes) and dual
wheels (removed before flight).
Remove the ground handling wheel assemblies from the helicopter by re-
moving lynch pins from mounts and removing safety pins from inboard end
of rotating axle. When removing the axle assemblies from the mounts, note
the number and location of washers that are placed on the axle. Install the
axle assembly in the mount in reverse order of removal. During installa-
tion, two or more spacing washers are placed on the axle between the wheel
and the mount and one washer is placed on the inboard end of the axle be-
tween the mount and retaining pin.
· The dual wheel ground handling wheels attach to bolts mounted on the
skid tube. Wheel assemblies are labeled LH and RH for the left and
right sides respectively. Install each wheel assembly by placing mount
bracket, which is connected to the wheels, over the skid tube with the

Normal Procedures
4.1 Preflight
a. Verify the searchlight, gimbal and mounting frame are me-
chanically sound by visual inspection and shake test by hand.
Verify all attachment hardware and safety wires are properly
attached. Verify light-gimbal clutch movement with friction.
b. Verify that all associated cables are tightly connected and
show no evidence of cracking or fraying, or interference
throughout motion range.
c. Verify front window, reflector and fan intake are clear and not
obstructed.
d. Verify both circuit breakers in junction box are pushed in.
Turn on the searchlight master and listen to cooling fan in op-
eration. It should sound smooth and even. Verify operation of
vertical and horizontal directional movement and elevation
controls.
CAUTION
4.2 Start-up
a. With engine at take-off rpm, check that the aircraft amp meter
reads less than 115 amps. Normal light operation requires up
to 35 amps during start and will decrease to 27 amps or less
during continuous operation.
b. To start the light, on the control box locate the
OFF-ON-START switch. Move the switch from the OFF posi-
tion to the START position. Hold the switch in the start posi-
tion until the lamp starts (3-5 seconds). Once the lamp starts,
release the switch. The switch will automatically move back
to the ON position for continued running. During start ob-
serve ammeter to ensure maximum aircraft amperage loading
limitation is not exceeded.

SECTION I
General
This supplement must be carried in the applicable basic FAA approved 333
Model 269D Configuration “A” Rotorcraft Flight Manual when the
rotorcraft is equipped with the Optional Fabric Engine Intake Filter, P/N
40B3135-005. Except as modified by this flight manual supplement,
operation in compliance with the basic approved Rotorcraft Flight Manual
(CSP-D-8) is mandatory.
The Fabric Engine Intake Filter provides filtration of engine air. The
installation incorporates a polyester fabric filter, and a gas spring operated
bypass door. The filter captures particles in the air as the mainstream of air
enters the engine. Should differential pressure exceed set limits, the gas
spring allows the bypass door to open, providing an alternate air path to the
engine plenum chamber. An indicator light on the instrument panel
illuminates when the bypass door is activated.
