AIM SPEAK IN CLASSIFICATIONS OF RISK AND OVER SPEED

DETAIL ABOUT OVER SPEED IN MITIGATION INSPECTION,
OVER SPEED. AIRCRAFT, SAFETY TECHNIQUES. INFORMATION ABOUT
AND SECURITY RISK APPROVED AIRCRAFT.
FACTORS.
 Over speed condition
when the aircraft fly
with high speed
beyond the designed
speed limits. Which can
cause remarkable
damage for the aircraft
components and
systems.
DEFENITION OF OVERSPEED:
Overspeed classifications:
1. Airframe and structures overspeed: Aircraft
speed must be in the designed speed ranges
and unacceptable to exceed the speed limits:

• Ground overspeed

• Airspeed or Inflight Overspeed

• Overspeed for a particular flight condition

Overspeed classifications:

2. Engine overspeed: When the

engine turning or forced to turn
beyond the turning limits.
 Safety and security risks
associated with over-seed
maintenance of aircraft include:

• Environmental factors.
• Aircraft altitude.
• Scratches or dents, which can impact the
aerodynamics and structural integrity of the
aircraft.
• Over-seed maintenance can involve the removal
of sensitive information from the aircraft.
• Unqualified personnel to perform over-seed
maintenance.
Risk mitigation techniques:

Use qualified and

experienced personnel for
over-seed maintenance.

Using protective coverings

or barriers during
maintenance.

Regular inspections and

testing of the aircraft.
Overspeed inspection

LANDING GEAR WHEELS AND

TYERS
Overspeed inspection
Fuselage:
• Windshield and windows
• Hinged doors, latches
inspection
• Fairings and panels

Stabilizers:
• Skins, hinges and moveable
surface
• Wings and flaps
 Engine inspection:
Engine or propellers must inspect and
examined.
Overspeed If any damage observed in the propeller,

inspection it must send to workshop for repair.

Assemblies of LP compressor and LP
turbine.
Oil filters.
 • Super puma rotor overspeed
• There are two types of rotors, the main rotor and the
tail rotor, so when overspeed occurs, they must be
inspected.

• Applicable documents
Work on aircraft inspecting for this event requires some documents,
which are:
• Maintenance manual (chapter 5) Figure (1)Main rotor(Domke, 2003)
• Work cards:

• Inspection and actions to be taken

• Rotor head and shaft assy: Check Inspection and steps to be
taken
• Check flexion of main blades vertically and horizontally,
following an incident
• Tail gearbox: Check

• Eng 39

• Eng 120
Figure (2)Tail rotor(Domke, 2005)
• Action to be taken
Aircraft rotor inspection cases classified according
to the revolutions per minute (RPM) of the main
rotor.
• Main rotor RPM from 265 to 310:
I. Flight envelope
• Main rotor RPM from 310 to 320:
I. No action to be taken
• Main rotor RPM from 320 to 345:
I. Main rotor head to be inspected visually
according to work card 62.35.00.601
II. Tail rotor head to be inspected visually
according to work card 64.20.00.601
III. Tail rotor blades to be checked detailly
according to work card 64.10.00.601

Figure (3)Tail rotor head

(MTC,2014)
❑Main rotor RPM from 345 to 350:
• Main rotor head to be inspected visually and checked
directionally of:
o Spindle yoke
o Sleeve threads
➢ If they damaged, they should be scrapped .
• Main rotor blades to be checked detailly according to work card
62.10.00.603 and the deformation on the drag axis to be
measured according to work card 62.10.00.604 .

• Tail rotor head to be inspected visual according to work card

64.20.00.601.
Figure (3)Axial(MTC,2014)
• Tail rotor blades to be returned to the works for examination
❑Main rotor RPM from 350 to 360:
• Main rotor head to be:
▪ checked dimensionally and detected for crak on:
o Flapping hinge
o Adapter yoke
o Bolts attaching mast to flange
▪ Scrapped if defect found on:
o Spindle
o Sleeve
o Bearing stack

• Main rotor blades to be checked detailly according to work card 62.10.00.603

and the deformation on the drag axis to be measured according to work card
62.10.00.604.
Figure (4)Main rotor (MTC,2014)
• Tail rotor head to be returned for overhaul.

• Tail rotor blades to be returned to the works for examination.

❑Main rotor RPM from 360 to 380: o Equipment:
All equipment required for the inspection are
• Main rotor head to be scrapped. mentioned in the work cards

• Main rotor blades to be returned to works for examination.

• Tail rotor head to be returned for overhaul.

• Tail rotor blades to be returned to the works for examination.

❑Main rotor RPM from 380 and

above:
• Main rotor head to be scrapped, and main rotor blades to be
returned to works for examination.

• Tail rotor head TRH and blades to be scrapped.

Conclusion:
To conclude, Proper inspection
after overspeed condition ensures
the aircraft serviceability. Correct
procedure to be done after the
pilot report overspeed condition,
including the documentation and
inspection steps as mentioned in
the AMM.
