SECTION 00 – GENERAL DESCRIPTION

GENERAL

The helicopter is equipped with a landing skid which comprises two


skids connected with two crossbeams (forward and rear) which are
attached to fuselage structure by means of supports assy.

The forward crossbeam is rigidly attached to the structure; the rear


crossbeam is attached to the structure by a pivot point thus allowing
the helicopter oscillation through hydraulic dampers installed on rear
crossbeam and fixed to a support on the fuselage structure in order to
avoid ground resonance.

The landing skid assy is fabricated from aluminium alloy tubes. The
skids are attached on ends of the two crossbeam by means of saddles.
Two tow rings are installed on skid forward side and four eyebolts are
installed on skid rear side to allow the installation of ground handling
wheels.

On each side of each crossbeam is installed a footstep to help entering


in the pilot cockpit and passengers cabin.

For the AW119MKII, the landing skid installation has been improved to
withstand the loads due to the increased tow capabilities (2850 Kg).
The new cross tubes have a step bonded and clamped on each side
(no rivets). The rear cross tube dampers fittings are also bonded and
clamped (no rivets).On the airframe side has been reinforced all
structural parts which support the landing skid. New ribs, dampers
fitting and beam assy have been installed.

On lower side of the skids are installed abrasion proof shoes which
avoid abrasion. Abrasion proof shoes are fixed to skids by means of
bolts and washers.

The dampers are hydraulic type. Both are installed on the back side of
the rear cross tube (for the AW119 MKII with and without G1000H),
new ribs, dampers fitting and beam assy have been installed. The
dampers are installed on the front side of the rear cross tube (for the
A119 with and without IDS).
