1-1. INTRODUCTION
C o m p l ia n c e w i th l im ita ti o n s s e c ti on i s
required by appropriate operating rules.
Anytime an operating limitation is exceeded,
an appropriate entry shall be made in
helicopter logbook. Entry shall state which
limit was exceeded, duration of time, extreme
value attained, and any additional information
essential in determining maintenance action
required.
I n t e n t i o n a l u s e o f t r a n s i e n t l i m i ts i s
prohibited.
Torque events shall be recorded. A torque
event is defined as a takeoff or lift, internal or
external load (BHT-407-MD-2).
Landings shall be recorded. Run-on landings
shall be recorded separately.
A run-on landing is defined as one where
there is forward ground travel of the
helicopter greater than 3 feet with the weight
on the skids.
1-2. BASIS OF CERTIFICATION
This helicopter is certified under FARs Parts
27 and 36, Appendix J. Additionally, it is
approved under Canadian Airworthiness
Manual Chapters 516 (ICAO Chapter 11) and
527, Sections 1093 (b) (1) (ii) and (iii), 1301-1,
1557 (c) (3), 1581 (e) and 1583 (h).

1-3-B. CARGO
The maximum allowable cabin deck loading
for cargo is 75 pounds per square foot (3.7 kg
per 100 cm2). The maximum allowable
b a g g a g e c o m pa r t m e n t d e c k l o a d i n g i s
86 pounds per square foot (4.2 kg per
100 cm2) with a maximum allowable weight of
250 pounds (113.4 kg). Refer to BHT-407-MD-2
for cargo restraint and tie-down locations.
Cargo must be properly secured by tie-down
devices to prevent the load from shifting
un der a nticipate d fligh t a nd g rou nd
operations. If the mission requires both
passengers and cargo to be transported
together, the cargo must be loaded and
secured so that it does not obstruct
passenger access to exits.
1-4. FLIGHT CREW
Minimum flight crew consists of one pilot who
shall operate helicopter from right crew seat.
Left crew seat may be used for an additional
pilot when approved dual controls are
installed.
