e) Standard fuselage:9.60 m (31.50 ft) / 11.52 m (37.79 ft) rotor spinning,
General Description
Structure
o The main structure consists of the central structure, the intermediate structure and the bottom
structure
o The canopy absorbs the crash energy upon forward impact.
o The windows: All of the transparent parts include 2 roof windows, 2 windshield panels which form
part of the aircraft stressed structure. They are streamlined in shape, 2 bad-weather windows.
o The tail boom is bolted to the intermediate structure and supports the Fenestron and the
horizontal stabilizer.
o The horizontal stabilizer is installed through the tail-boom.
o The Fenestron assembly is bolted to the tail-boom.
o The fuselage lower fairings consist of a front lower fairing (Removable lower centre fairing, with
provisions to accommodate the anti-vibrators), left hand lower fairing and right hand lower fairing.
o The upper cowling consists of a front cowling, a rear cowling & 2 LH and RH inspection doors
made up of composite sandwich structure.
Landing Gear
The landing gear unit comprises a forward cross-tube, 2 skids, each one in the continuation of the
forward cross-tube, and fixed at their rear on the rear “reversed V form” cross tube which is equipped
with two fairings to avoid the Dutch-roll effect. The landing gear unit is also equipped with 2 cabin
anti-vibrators, secured on the forward cross-tube.
Seating
In basic configuration, the cabin features two single seats forward and an assembly of 3 seats
backward
Main Rotor
The main bearingless rotor is of SPHERIFLEX type made in titanium and allows the functions to be
performed without use of bearing for flapping, lead-lag and pitch.
The blade-sleeve assembly pivots about its axis as the spherical thrust bearing is subject to elastic
and torsional deformation. The blade-sleeve assembly moves downwards about the laminate
Spherical Thrust Bearing, this undergoes elastic deformation. Under the action of the drag forces, the
blade-sleeve assembly moves the spherical thrust bearing. The blade oscillations are damped by a
Frequency Adapter.
The Main Rotor blades are made of composite material which presents the following advantages: no
corrosion, slow and visible damage growth (fail-safe characteristic).The 3 composite blades are spinning
clockwise
The NR monitoring
A phonic wheel on the rotor shaft delivers rotor speed data to an electro-magnetic sensor. The signal
is used for the detection of MIN and MAX NR values and causes the audible warning (HORN function
operative). Another signal allows the NR values to be displayed under analogue and digital forms.
On the NR/Nf indicator (Bargraph), the NR value is indicated by a graduated

quadrant which lights up according to the NR value. An additional digital display indicates the rpm value.
A white triangle reminds the Pilot of the maximum NR value at which he can apply the rotor brake.
Tail Rotor
Tail power transmission
This power transmission system includes a drive shaft in 2 parts which is driven by the Main Gear
Box:
- A short forward shaft located above the transmission deck.
- A long rear shaft which passes into the tail-boom. This rear shaft is reversible.
Tail Gear Box

The Tail Gear Box is splash lubricated and is secured to the stator.
The TGB casing is fitted with an electric magnetic plug (for GB CHIP Caution light).
The tail rotor

The tail rotor is made up of a fixed section, the stator (TGB support), a dynamic section, the tail rotor
hub.
The specific asymmetrical arrangement of the 8 blades and stator optimize the performance and
reduce the noise of the tail rotor.
Main Rotor Drive System

Engine-to-MGB-coupling: The Engine-to-MGB-coupling includes a coupling tube and a drive shaft
that rotates at 6000 rpm.
Main Gear Box: The MGB is a reduction gear assembly (tilted 3° forward ) made up of:
- Main reduction gear module, first stage of reduction (inside the main and lower casing). It includes also
the free-wheel, the output bevel wheel for the hydraulic pack, the tail rotor drive power output and
the engine oil cooling system fan.
- Epicyclical reduction gear module: This second stage drives the rotor shaft
MGB lubrication system & monitoring:

The MGB lubrication pump takes oil from the bottom of the casing. A pressure relief valve limits the
pump discharge pressure to 8 bars.
Rotor brake
On the overhead panel, the Pilot has a control lever, fitted with a safety trigger, which gradually
applies the friction linings on the floating disk driven by the MGB. The rest position of the rotor brake
mobile lining is detected by a microswitch.
When the rotor brake is applied, the engine starting cannot be performed.
Flight controls
The cyclic and collective control rods travel on the left side of the aircraft, below the cockpit floor and
aft the cabin, to the advantage of the baggage compartment.
The yaw control ensured, from yaw-pedals to TRH, with a flexible ball-type control on the right side of
the aircraft, installed below the cockpit floor and inside the tail-boom.
Pilot’s and Co-pilot sticks
Twist Grip
The Pilot’s stick is fitted with adjustable friction device which enables the Pilot to adjust his load on
the control: the hydraulic assistance cancels the control loads.
The Pilot’s controls are fixed; the Co-pilot’s cyclic stick and collective lever are removable.
Engine
The free-wheel turbo-shaft engine type Turboméca Arrius 2F has 2 modules: the reduction gear
module and the gas generator module, which comprises the air inlet, a centrifugal compressor, an
annular reverse-flow combustion chamber, a single-stage generator turbine, a counter-rotating
single-stage free turbine. The engine drives a generator that supplies the aircraft electrical system.
The engine also provides hot P3 bleed air for the heating and demisting systems.
The Engine controls: The engine controls are composed of:

A twist grip on the collective pitch lever, used:
- To start up and shut down the engine,
- To select the “idle” and “flight” ratings,
- To perform manual control in emergency mode.
A mechanical anticipator to reduce the static droop and the engine governor response
time,
A fuel shut-off control that shuts down the engine by cutting off the fuel supply.
Ignition system
The starting process is initiated by depressing the starting microswitch (on the twist grip):. Turning
progressively the twist grip to the left, the Pilot begins to accelerate the gas generator, monitoring the
increase of TOT and N1.
When engine reaches its self-sustained speed, around 50 % N1, the Pilot can release the sliding
pushbutton to stop the starter and igniters. Turning continuously the twist grip to reach the ‘Flight”
notch, TWT GRIP warning light turns off and the hydro-mechanical governing system takes over
control.
A mechanical Collective-to-Governor-Coupling, called “Anticipator”, improves the engine response by
increasing the NR when the collective pitch increases.
Fuel system
The Fuel system consists of an engine system (following engine paragraph) and the aircraft fuel system:
Two crashworthy fuel bladders of 410.5 liters (326.3 kg) total capacity, upper bladder 212.5 liters
(168.9 kg) and lower bladder 198 liters (157.4 kg). The unusable fuel quantity is 4.5 liters (3.6 kg).
The fuel distribution system includes a starting pump (inside lower tank) stopped in flight, a fuel
supply line and a return line, a fuel shut-off valve, a vent system. On the overhead panel, a fuel shut-
off lever is held in “valve open” position by means of a snap wire. On the LACU, a “PUMP”
pushbutton switches on and off the starting pump with built in green lights.
Fuel level monitoring:
Each bladder tank is fitted with a capacitive gauge. The two level signals are added by the summing
cell of the lower gauge, which transmits the total fuel quantity data signal to the VEMD. When only
about 38 liters (approximately 30 kg) of fuel remains, a low level contact built into the lower gauge
illuminates the amber FUEL light on the CWP.
Instrument panel, console and Ancillary system
The Central Computer
The LACU
A – LACU:
Lighting and Ancillary Control Unit, for electrical controls and monitoring units of the main, optional
and lighting systems
B – ASU:
The two PCB’s Ancillary System Unit (ASU) processes all audible warnings, some visual warnings
and some specific electric signals.
Hydraulic system
The Hydraulic system comprises the hydraulic compact unit, supported and driven by the MGB,
which generates the hydraulic power, pressure and flow-rate, a distribution system which comprises
flexible pressure and return hoses, supplying the three servo-controls
Hydraulic system monitoring
On the Caution & Warning panel on the LACU
Electrical system
The electrical power network (28 V DC) can be supplied by a starter generator located on the engine
accessory gear box, a battery located in the cargo bay at the tailboom-to-fuselage junction frame, an
external power unit (EPU) plug (if fitted) on the right side of the aircraft (400 A max).
These power sources are connected to the Electrical Master Box (EMB) located in the RH side of the
luggage compartment, which regulates, checks the current and automatically controls its distribution.
65°C
When the battery voltage rises above 60°C, an amber square appears on the VEMD with an
indication of the temperature value. At 71°C and ab ove, the square turns red and the BATT TEMP
light illuminates on the CWP. The DC distribution system includes the Electrical Master Box (EMB),
a cargo compartment Circuit Breaker Panel, a Cockpit Circuit Breaker panel (CCBP).
Radio-communication and Radio-navigation system

The aircraft is fitted with the intercom system GMA 340H, a VHF-AM/VOR-LOC-GLIDE/GPS GARMIN
GNS 430 transceiver system, and a VHF Radio-com & Navigation transceiver system KX 165
Transponder
The EC 120 B is fitted with a GARMIN GTX 327 Transponder.
Emergency Locator Transmitter

The ELT installed is the model of the choice of the customer. Very often, the ELT KANNAD 406 AF-H
is installed on this aircraft.
Air Data System

The air data system has two types of circuit:
- The total pressure circuit connected from the Pitot head to the airspeed indicator,
- The static pressure circuit connected from static pressure ports to the airspeed indicator, the
altimeter, the vertical speed indicator and to the VEMD.
The drain valve is located at the lowest point of the static pressure circuit.

Not require when a trainee is already qualified on Eurocopter helicopter fitted with VEMD, (e.g. EC 130 B4 or AS 350 B2 &
B3). In that case, item 7 disappears.
On completion of the theoretical phase, the trainee is assessed via a multiple-choice questionnaire (a
minimum of 50 questions is recommended) covering the entire program. To obtain the type rating,
the threshold for passing is 75% of correct answers in the written examination on a range of multiple-
choice or computerized questions.

Skill Test Required Required

(In accordance with Part-FCL - Appendix 9).
During the flight “1”, the Type Rating Instructor will evaluate the trainee level.
The flight training course corresponds to the basic aircraft certification and satisfies the conditions of
Part-FCL – Subpart H, taking into account the type of license held and the experience of the
candidate.
Each flight session could be extended or reduced by 15 minutes at the discretion of the instructor;
but the total time will remain 5h00 for Initial Type Rating and 3h00 for Additional Type Rating as bare
minimum.
Additional flight could be necessary at the discretion of the instructor if the trainee has not
successfully demonstrated the ability to perform all manoeuvres with a high degree of proficiency.
Depending on the configuration of the helicopter used and on customer's request, additional flights
may also be performed to enhance basic initial type rating training (minimum syllabus).
8.8 Training Areas of Specific Emphasis (TASE)

The following procedures for training should receive special attention. This lead to separate but
connected issues, Pilot Training methodology and demonstration methodology to Flight Instructors
and Type Rating Instructors for the EC 120 B.
OEB supports the manufacturer recommendations and training providers should consider the
following elements.
8.8.1 Pilots training methodology:
• Autorotation / Engine off landing

Autorotation training shall be performed with a Trainee and an Instructor only.
Autorotation training as mentioned in the RFM shall be conducted within gliding distance of a running
landing suitable area.
The engine reduction to idle position shall be completed when the helicopter is in autorotative
descent and established on the glide path for the appropriate suitable area:
- Perform first attempt Power on (twist grip on flight position), execute the flare then go around then,
- Perform the autorotation training / Engine off landing (twist grip on idle position).
- Check engine rating.
- Use sufficient anti-torque pedal travel when power is reduced,
- Do not lower the nose too abruptly when power is reduced, to avoid a dive,
- Maintain proper NR during the descent,
- Wait to apply the collective pitch at a correct height to avoid hard landing, loss of heading control,
and possible damage to the tail rotor and to the main rotor blade stops,
- Keep in mind that a higher All Up Weight increases the risk of NR overspeed and hard landing.
Note:
If necessary, it is possible to quickly switch back to the flight detent of the twist grip, at any time and for any NR
value. However, it is better if the NR value is in the green range.
Pay attention to the following:

- Engine off landing: Collective pitch to be fully lowered ONLY ONCE the aircraft has stopped.
- After the engine off landing, return the twist grip progressively to FLIGHT detent, maintaining
Torque below 40%.
- For go-around maneuver, anticipate the decision process
• Simulated Hydraulic Failure

- In steady flight conditions, simulate the hydraulic failure by depressing ACCU TST protected push
button on the Light and Ancillary Control Unit: HYD + Gong sounds while the student adjusts speed
to obtain Vy.
- In “HYD OFF” configuration, control loads increase with speed. As control loads increase, be
careful not to inadvertently move twist grip out of FLIGHT detent,
- If necessary during the training exercise, hydraulic assistance can be recovered immediately by
setting the ACCU TST protected push button to the UP position or by resetting the hydraulic cut off
switch to ON.
- If the ACCU TST protected pushbutton is not reset on the LACU, no hydraulic assistance can be
restored.
- Anticipate performing a shallow approach,
- Keep in mind that higher All Up Weight increases the risk of aircraft loss of control at low speed,
Pay attention to the following:

- Pressure in the hydraulic accumulators allows enough time to secure the flight.
- When hydraulic pressure is restored in flight, the forces disappear, which can lead to an abrupt left
roll movement.
- In short final, anticipate the power application to avoid induced increase in nose-up attitude.
• Twist Grip Condition of use :

- When in simulated hydraulic failure training, control loads increase with speed. As control loads
increase, be careful not to inadvertently move twist grip out of FLIGHT detent
- Before engine start up, take time to identify the direction of the twist grip to increase or decrease
the fuel flow.
8.8.2 Demonstration methodology for Flight Instructors and Type Rating Instructors
• Servo-Transparency (called also servo-reversibility)

The servo-transparency training could be performed in the following way:
- Complete procedure should be performed above 1000 ft (AGL),
- Achieve airspeed between 130 and VNE (with a rate of descend),
- Perform a 30° left turn,
- Slowly increase the load factor by a backwards cyclic action,
- When the servo-transparency is achieved, the tendency of the aircraft is to pitch up and slightly turn
to the right,
- As soon as the load decreases, servo-transparency disappears
- Due to control loads linked to servo-transparency, the collective pitch tendency is to decrease. The
collective pitch decrease and the pitch up may lead to rpm increase.
- The procedure should not be done too aggressively
- The exercise is easier when high All Up Weight and/or high density altitude.
• Fenestron
- Differences between conventional rotor and Fenestron: conventional tail rotors work more in
cruising flight, as the fins surfaces are smaller. For the Fenestron, in cruise flight, the fins are
designed to release anti-torque.
- For a clockwise main rotor, maximum tail rotor thrust is required with a left crosswind.
- Fenestron requires greater pedal travel entering hover, but is not less efficient once in hovering.
- Avoid high rate of turn during ground maneuvers (e.g. 360°), particularly to the left, since you wou ld
need a great pedal travel, and therefore a big amount of power to stop the motion, leading to a risk of
over-torque.

PART A - THE TRAINING PLAN
SECTION 1 - *** APPLICABILITY
3
This training program is the faithful application of the AHTS ATO training manual ETS ED 011 for the EC120 type
helicopters. The ETS ED 011 is the framework and this training program is the technical content.
This program deals only with the specificities of this type of helicopter while the training manual ETS ED 011gives
all the necessary pieces of information on the course organization, trainees’ prerequisites, tests and examination.
ATO organization is detailed in ETS ED 009.
IX
Within (EU) 1178/2011 annex I, FCL.700 and 710 and EASA OEB final report (16 05 2012) framework, the
EC120 single-engine type helicopter is presented in one variant.

SECTION 2 - *** LIST AND DESCRIPTION OF ALL VOLUMES

D
This training program has the same plan as the ETS ED 011 in order to complete this training manual and to
obtain a complete and coherent training plan for the EC120 type.
N
Then this training program is broadly sub-divided into the following Parts according to AMC1 ORA.ATO.230(a)
requirements. Some sections have nevertheless been deemed necessary and then added. They are identified by
“*** Section X - …”.

PART B – Briefing and air exercises

PART C – Synthetic flight training
PART D – Theoretical knowledge instruction
SECTION 3 - AIM OF THE COURSE
3.1 Type rating course frame

AP
This program proposes:

o Initial type rating course, called ITR. It is designed for single-engine piston helicopter pilots
willing to get their first single-engine turbine type rating,
o Additional type rating courses, called ATR. It is designed for already single-engine turbine
helicopter pilots,
o Depending on the aircraft configuration and at the customer’s request, additional flights may be
performed to reinforce the basic training (minimum program) with operational type flights.
3.2 Precise aim

This program proposes the following training courses:
Name of the course Aim
ITR 120 Initial single pilot TR VFR EC120
ATR 120 Additional single pilot TR VFR EC120
This corresponds to the basic rating for the equipment and is compliant with FCL.700 and 710.

SECTION 4 - PRE-ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Refer to ETS ED 011.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Theoretical courses for initial and additional type rating training are the same except that for initial type rating, the
applicant shall have attended the relevant pre-entry course (turbine engine course). Refer to ETS EI025 TR Pre-
entry.
