 M i - 172 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

1. GENERAL

1. This Maintenance Schedule (MS) is a primary operation document which specifies the helicopter units (systems,
subsystems, articles) to be serviced, the list of operations to be performed thereon and their time intervals.
The maintenance activities performed perfectly and in due time provide the desired degree of helicopter reliabil­
ity and keep it ready for flights.
The Maintenance Schedule consists of three parts:
Part I - Airframe, Helicopter Systems, Power Plant and Transportation Facilities
Part II - Aircraft Equipment
Part III - Avionics.
2. The Maintenance Schedule provides for performance of the following types of maintenance services on the heli­
copter:
— unscheduled maintenance:
— periodic maintenance;
— special maintenance:
— maintenance of helicopter at storage;
seasonal maintenance.
3. 7he unscheduled maintenance includes auxiliary operations, as well as inspection and servicing actions.
4. The auxiliary operations include:
— parking operations (PO);
— postflight operations (PostF);
— preflight operations (PreF).
5. The postflight operations (PostF) on the helicopter should be performed:
— after each landing of the helicopter when the engines are shutdown;
— at training flights during the next fuelling of the helicopter.
6. The parking operations (PO) should be performed:
— in the event of forwarding the helicopter for maintenance or storage for the time of more than two hours;
— when the helicopter is transferred to another parking area.
7. The preflight operations (PreF) should be performed on the helicopter immediately before each takeoff irrespec­
tive of the unscheduled maintenance check accomplished.
8. The inspection and servicing actions include Ai, A2, PreFi, B checks.
9. The At maintenance check should be performed:
— after the helicopter landing at a flight duration of 45 min. or more, if the performance of a more compli­
cated maintenance check is not required;
— during the next refuelling of the helicopter, if the interval between landings is less than 45 min.;
— upon termination of flights when total time flown today is less than 7 hours.
10. The A? maintenance check of the helicopter should be performed:

 M i - 172 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

— upon termination of flights at total time flown today equalling 7 hours or more, if the performance of peri­
odic maintenance is not required.
NOTE. At total time flown today equalling less than 7 hours, the A2 maintenance check should be performed once
per two adjacent days, during which even only one flight was accomplished;
— after special maintenance (in compliance with Section 5 of this Schedule);
— after performance of*any periodic maintenance check.
11. The PreF) maintenance check should be performed at the first takeoff of the helicopter:
— if the parking duration after unscheduled maintenance service is 12 hours or more;
— irrespective of the previous parking time, if on the day before, upon termination of the flights, the At
maintenance check was accomplished;
— after periodic maintenance.
12. The B maintenance check of the helicopter should be performed:
— every 25 ±5 total flight hours, if the operating time (calendar time interval) does not dictate the perform­
ance of periodic maintenance.
13. When landing on the fields where the maintenance personnel are not available, the unscheduled maintenance
is accomplished by the crew in compliance with the flight operation schedule.
14. The performance of periodic maintenance is assigned depending upon the airframe total flight hours since be­
ginning of operation or after the last repair. This maintenance includes the operations of main check 0-1 per­
formed every (50 ±10) total flight hours and additional operations AO = 2, 3, 4 and 5 which should be per­
formed every 100, 300, 500 and 1000 flight hours depending upon the helicopter operating time, no matter at
what tolerance the previous maintenance was accomplished.
15. A single tolerance of ±10 flight hours is assigned for all the periodic maintenance activities. When step-by-step
maintenance procedure is used, the tolerance may be increased up to ±20 flight hours for the operations per­
formed at a time interval of 100 hours or more.
16. For the engines, units and instruments, the maintenance is assigned depending upon the airframe total flight
hours. If the engine (engines) or other components are replaced upon expiration of their lifetime or ahead of
schedule, the helicopter maintenance check dictated by the airframe flight time should be performed. In addi­
tion, accomplish the operations:
— immediately associated with replacement of the engine (engines) or components;
— on inspection of the helicopter airframe components and the systems pipeline areas, the access to which
can be provided only with the engine or component removed.
The subsequent maintenance of the engine (engines) and other components includes the maintenance checks
corresponding to the airframe operating time.
17. To provide the helicopter trouble-free operation under different climatic conditions and under conditions of ac­
tive work or when special missions are performed, as well as at prolonged intervals between flights, the person
in charge of the Air Engineering Service of the Airline is entitled to give instruction on performance of some
additional activities or on unplanned accomplishment of periodic maintenance check.
18. The inactive maintenance of the helicopter in storage should be performed at time intervals between flights and
includes;
— operations on preparation of the helicopter for storage;
— operations on servicing the helicopter every 30 ±5 days. 3 months ±10 days and 6 ±1 months;
-- operations on preparation of the helicopter for flights after storage.

19. The special maintenance should be performed:

— after helicopter rough landing, flying in turbulent air (at an excess of permissible operation overloads),
striking the helicopter by lightening, flying under hail conditions and staying on the ground under condi­
tions of storm weather, as well as after flying in icing and resonance regions;
— after replacement of engines, main gear-box and main- and tail-rotor hubs.
20. The seasonal maintenance should be performed during preparation of the helicopter for the autumn-winter
(AWP) and spring-summer (SSP) periods of operation.
21. All the operations specified by this Schedule should be performed in compliance with temporary instructions,
revisions and additions thereto. When the necessity arises to perform operations not specified by the above
documents, adhere to the Maintenance Manuals for engines TB3-117BM, gearbox BP-14 and other compo­
nents, as well as follow the service bulletins effective in the aviation. All revisions and additions should be en­
tered timely into the Maintenance Schedule according to the instructions and service bulletins.
22. After accomplishment of the operations associated with replacement, installation and adjustment of the parts
and units in the helicopter and engine control systems and in other systems, make certain that the units and
systems are serviceable. Also ensure that the position of the control unit corresponds to that of the steering
component.
23. The maintenance of the helicopter should be accomplished by the maintenance personnel trained in each of
the specialities and well familiar with the construction, maintenance manual for aeronautical equipment, safety
precautions, this Schedule and operation procedures. The maintenance personnel should be admitted to serv­
ice helicopters Mi-172 in the established order and be responsible for the operations performed perfectly and
in full scope.
24. The maintenance personnel admitted to service the helicopter independently is entrusted with the organization
and check of the operations to be perfonned perfectly in compliance with this Maintenance Schedule.
25. The step-by-step check of the operations performed during maintenance of the helicopter is accomplished by
the personnel of the maintenance base.
26. Upon completion of each maintenance of the helicopter, technical documents should be prepared according to
the regulations in force.
27. The fuel system of the engines should remain filled with fuel. After fuel drain (in 24 hours or earlier) all the
pipelines and units of the fuel system should be preserved.
28. The manufacturer’ seals on the helicopter units, engines and airborne equipment units whose guaranteed
service life has not expired are removed, when troubleshooting, only by the supplier’s representative.,
After elimination of troubles the units and equipment are sealed by the supplier’s representative and an ap­
propriate entry is made in the Log Book (Certificate) to indicate performance of the operation.
29. At premature or unplanned removal of some units from the helicopter, have a caution sign displayed promi­
nently in the flight compartment and a tag indicating removal of this unit.

2. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. Prior to starting the work on the helicopter, make certain that the equipment is grounded, the circuit breakers
and switches of the power consumers are in the OFF position. Do not contact the helicopter until it is grounded.
2. The external power sources may be connected to the helicopter electrical system only with the permission of the
flight mechanic, engineer or senior technician in charge of the maintenance team. When the power sources are
turned on, a placard reading: HELICOPTER ENERGIZED should be displayed.
3. When checking and adjusting the transmission and controls (manual control, pedal control and collective-pitch
control), do not perform any operations in the areas where movable components run along. Prior to turning the
transmission and actuating the controls, warn the personnel operating in the above areas and receive the safety
reports from them.
4. When cranking the engines, do not stay or perform any operations in the engine and gear-box compartments,
on the tail boom and in the rotor region. The top hatch in the flight compartment should be closed.
5. When inspecting the power plant, as well as when moving along the platforms after shutting down the engines,
care should be exercised not to burn yourself from touching upon hot parts.
6. When inspecting the helicopter, use should be made of only serviceable portable lamps furnished with guard
nets.
Damage to wire insulation, sparking and loosely mated plug and receptacle cannot be tolerated.
7. Prior to using the hydraulic jacks, cranes and electric hoists, check them for serviceable condition. Never use
faulty lifting devices when working on the helicopter.
8. Inflating the landing gear tires with compressed air from the high-pressure bottles and blowing out the assem­
blies and parts should be accomplished only through the reducing valve adjusted for pressure according to
specifications.
9. Do not use any objects and projecting structural members of the helicopter instead of ladders. Servicing plat­
forms of the engine and gear-box compartments, steps, etc. should be used for the purpose.
10. Do not perform any operations while you are staying on the tail boom.
11. All the operations on installation and removal of the engines, gear boxes, main-rotor hub and blades should be
accomplished under supervision of the person in charge (engineer, senior technician) with the use of lifting
devices and rigging equipment allotted for the purpose.
12. Lifting the helicopter should be accomplished simultaneously by all the hydraulic jacks. When lifting, no one is
allowed to stay on the helicopter or under it. At a wind speed of more than 8 m/s lifting the helicopter is forbid­
den.
13. Do not tighten connections, nuts and relocate the attaching parts of the pipelines of the air and hydraulic sys­
tems when they are under pressure.
14. As the decomposition products of synthetic oil E-3B are toxic, care should be taken to prevent getting it onto
the hands and bare skin. If the oil gets onto the bare skin, immediately wash it with water and soap. Oil 6-3B
getting onto the parts and surfaces of the helicopter should be immediately removed with a piece of cloth
moistened in technical gasoline. This done, wipe this area dry.
15. Fuelling is forbidden:
— while the engines are running;
— when fire-fighting equipment is not available;
16. The power of the helicopter electrical system and the fuel-servicing units should be turned on before fuelling
and turned off only upon its completion.

17. When fuelling the helicopter, it Is forbidden:

— to perform operations on servicing the radio equipment, electrical equipment and oxygen equipment;
— to turn on and turn off the circuit breakers and switches in the helicopter compartments;
— to perform any operations bringing about spark formation on the helicopter or at a distance of 25 m from
it.
18. Upon completion of periodic maintenance or elimination of troubles, start and test the engines on platforms al­
lotted for the purpose or on mooring platforms.
19. When testing and cranking the engines, do not stay in the main rotor-disc area and in the tail-rotor area. No
one, except for the technician observing the engine starting, is allowed to stay at a distance of closer than 25
m from the helicopter.
20. Approach the helicopter only when the engines operate at idle power. In doing so, remember that the most
dangerous areas, where the rotating blades are in the lowest position, are the left-hand front area and the tail-
rotor rotation area.
21. Do not stay under the external load when operating it.
