Section 2NORMAL PROCEDURES

22-1. INTRODUCTION

This section contains instructions andprocedures for operating helicopter fromplanning s tage , through actua l f l ightconditions, to securing helicopter afterlanding.

Normal and standard conditions are assumedin these procedures. Pertinent data in othersections is referenced when applicable.

Instructions and procedures contained hereinare written for purpose of standardization andare not applicable to all situations.

2-1-A. COLD WEATHER OPERATIONS

Battery starts have been demonstrated to-29°C (-20°F) with standard 17 amp-hourbattery and -35°C (-31°F) with optional 28amp-hour battery.

During engine start in cold temperatures,initial engine oil pressure of 200 PSI andpressure excursions down to 50 PSI duringwarm up are normal. Normal oil pressure andtemperature indications as per Section 1should be obtained after approximately 5minutes at idle.

2-1-B. HOT WEATHER OPERATIONS

CAUTION

DURING EXTENDED HOVER ATTAKEOFF POWER WITH THE OATABOVE 49.7°C (121.4°F), MONITORTHE ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE. IFT E M P E R A T U R ER I S E S ABNORMALLY, REDUCE

POWER OR TRANSIT ION TOFORWARD FLIGHT UNTILTEMPERATURE DECREASES.

2-2. FLIGHT PLANNING

Each flight should be planned adequately toensure safe operations and to provide pilotwith data to be used during flight.

Check type of mission to be performed anddestination.

Determine that helicopter has adequateperformance to complete mission utilizingappropriate performance charts in Section 4.

Determine that helicopter weight and balancewill be within limits during entire mission.Utilize appropriate weight and balance chartsin Section 5 and limitations in Section 1.

2-3. PREFLIGHT CHECK

Pilot is responsible for determining whetherhelicopter is in condition for a safe flight.Refer to Figure 2-1 for prefl ight checksequence.

NOTE

A preflight check is not intended tobe a detailed mechanical inspection,but simply a guide to help pilot checkcondition of helicopter. It may be ascomprehens ive as condi t ionswarrant at discretion of pilot.

All areas checked shall include av isua l check for ev idence ofcorros ion, par t icu lar ly whenhelicopter is flown near salt water orin areas of high industrial emissions.

3-5. TAIL ROTOR

There is no single emergency procedure forall types of antitorque malfunctions. One keyto a pilot successfully handling a tail rotoremergency lies in the abil ity to quicklyrecognize the type of malfunction that hasoccurred.

3-5-A. COMPLETE LOSS OF TAIL ROTOR THRUST

This is a situation involving a break in drivesystem (e.g., severed driveshaft), wherein tailrotor stops turning and delivers no thrust.

INDICATIONS:

1. Uncontrollable yawing to right (leftside slip).

2. Nose down tucking.

3. Possible roll of fuselage.

NOTE

Severity of initial reaction of helicopterwill be affected by AIRSPEED, CG,power being used, and HD.

PROCEDURE:

3-5-A-1. HOVERING

Close thrott le and perform a hoveringautorotation landing. A slight rotation can beexpected on touchdown.

3-5-A-2. IN-FLIGHT

Reduce throttle to idle, immediately enterautorotat ion, and maintain a minimumAIRSPEED of 55 KIAS during descent.

NOTE

When a suitable landing site is notavailable, vertical f in may permitcontrolled flight at low power levelsand sufficient AIRSPEED. During finalstages of approach, a mild flare shouldbe executed, making sure all power torotor is off. Maintain helicopter in aslight flare and smoothly use collectiveto execute a soft, slightly nose-highlanding. Landing on aft portion of skidswill tend to correct side drift. Thistechnique will, in most cases, result ina run-on type landing.

CAUTION

IN A RUN-ON TYPE LANDING AFTERTOUCHING DOWN, DO NOT USECYCLIC TO REDUCE FORWARDSPEED.

3-5-B. FIXED PITCH FAILURES

This is a situation involving inability tochange tail rotor thrust (blade angle) with anti-torque pedals.

Page 87: Bell 407 - Flight Manual

TC APPROVED BHT-407-FM-1

17 DEC 2002 3-11

INDICATIONS:

1. Lack of directional response.

2. Locked pedals.

NOTE

If pedals cannot be moved with amoderate amount of force, do notattempt to apply a maximum effort,since a more serious malfunction couldresult. If helicopter is in a trimmedcondition when malfunction occurs,TRQ and AIRSPEED should be notedand helicopter flown to a suitablelanding area. Certain combinations ofTRQ, NR, and AIRSPEED will correct ayaw attitude, and these combinationsshould be used to land helicopter.

PROCEDURE:

NOTE

Pull pedal stop emergency release toensure pedal stop is retracted.

3-5-B-1. HOVERING

Do not close throttle unless a severe rightyaw occurs. If pedals lock in any position at ahover, land ing f rom a hover can beaccomplished with greater safety underpower-controlled flight rather than by closingthrottle and entering autorotation.

3-5-B-2. IN-FLIGHT — LEFT PEDAL APPLIED

In a high power condition, helicopter will yawto left when power is reduced. Power andAIRSPEED should be adjusted to a valuewhere a comfortable yaw angle can bemaintained. If AIRSPEED is increased, verticalf in wi l l become more ef fect ive and anincreased left yaw attitude will develop. Toaccomplish landing, establish a power-on

approach with sufficiently low AIRSPEED(zero if necessary) to attain a rate of descentwith a comfortable sideslip angle. (A decreasein NP decreases ta i l ro tor thrust . ) Ascollective is increased just before touchdown,left yaw will be reduced.

3-5-B-3. IN-FLIGHT — RIGHT PEDAL APPLIED

In cruise flight or reduced power situation,helicopter will yaw to right when power isincreased. A low power, run-on type landingwill be necessary by gradually reducingthrottle to maintain heading while addingcollective to cushion landing. If right yawbecomes excessive, close throttle completely.

3-6. HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

3-6-A. LOSS OF HYDRAULIC PRESSURE

INDICATIONS:

1. HYDRAULIC SYSTEM caution lightilluminated.

2. Grinding or howling noise frompump.

3. Increase in force required to moveflight controls.

4. Feedback forces may be evidentduring flight control movement.

5. Land as soon as practical.

6. A run-on landing at effectivet rans la t iona l l i ft speed(approx imate ly 15 knots ) isrecommended.

3-6-B. FLIGHT CONTROL ACTUATOR MALFUNCTION

An actuator hardover can occur in any flightcontrol axis, but a cyclic cam jam will onlyoccur in the fore and aft axis. An actuatorhardover is manifested by uncommandedmovements of one or two flight controls. Iftwo controls move, the pilot will find one ofthese controls will require a higher thannorma l contro l fo rce to oppose themovement. This force cannot be “trimmed” tozero without turning the HYD SYS switch OFF.Once the hydraulic boost is OFF, the forceson the affected flight control will be similar tothe “normal” hydraulic off forces.

INDICATIONS:

1. Uncommanded flight controlmovements

2. High flight control forces to opposemovement in one axis

3. Feedback forces only in affectedflight control axis

4. Flight control forces normal inunaffected axis

PROCEDURE:

1. Attitude — Maintain

2. HYD SYS switch — OFF

3. AIRSPEED — Set to 70 to 100 KIAS

4. Plan landing accordingly.

3-9. CYCLIC CAM JAMA cyclic cam jam can only occur in the foreand aft axis, whereas, an actuator hardovercan occur in any flight control axis. A cycliccam jam is manifested when a commandedcontrol movement requires a higher thannormal fore and aft spring force. The force feltwhen moving the cyclic fore and aft with acam jam is the result of overriding a springcapsule.

INDICATIONS:

1. High (approximately 15 pounds) foreand aft cyclic control forces.

2. Normal pedal, collective and lateralcyclic control forces.

PROCEDURE:

1. Helicopter pitch attitude — Maintainnormal pitch attitudes with forwardor aft cyclic force.

44-1. INTRODUCTION

Performance data presented herein areder ived f rom eng ine manufacture 'sspec i f ica t ion power fo r eng ine lessinstallation losses. These data are applicableto basic helicopter without any optionalequipment that would appreciably affect lift,drag, or power available.

4-2. POWER ASSURANCE CHECK

A Power assurance check chart (Figure 4-1) isprovided for Rolls-Royce model 250-C47Bengine. This chart indicates maximumal lowable MGT for an engine meet ingminimum Rolls-Royce specification. Enginemust develop required torque withoutexceeding chart MGT in order to meetperformance data contained in this manual.

Figure 4-1 may be used to periodicallymonitor engine performance.

To perform power assurance check, turn offall sources of bleed air, including ENGINEANTI-ICING. Establish level f l ight at anAIRSPEED of 85 to 105 K IAS or V N E ,whichever is lower. Check may also beconducted in a hover pr ior to takeoff ,depending on ambient conditions and grossweight.

Record following information from cockpitinstruments:

EXAMPLE:

SOLUTION:

Enter Power assurance check chart atobserved TORQUE (70%), proceed verticallydown to intersect HP (6000 feet), followhorizontally to intersect indicated OAT (10°C),then drop vert ical ly to read maximumallowable MGT.

If actual MGT is less than or equal to chartMGT, engine performance equals or exceedsminimum specification and performance datacontained in this manual can be achieved.

If actual MGT is greater than chart MGT,engine performance is less than minimumspecificat ion and al l performance datacontained in this manual cannot be achieved.Refer to appropriate maintenance manual todetermine cause of low power (high MGT).

NOTE

Chart may also be used to determineminimum specification power foractual MGT. Using above example,enter chart at actual MGT (675°C,proceed up to OAT (10°C), across to HP(6000 feet), and up to read minimumtorque available (70%). If actual poweris equal to or greater than chart torque,engine performance equals or exceedsmin imum spec i f ica t ion andperformance data contained in thismanual can be achieved. If actualtorque indication is less than charttorque, engine performance is lessthan minimum specification and allperformance in this manual cannot beachieved.

4-3. DENSITY ALTITUDE

A Dens i ty a l t i tude and temperatureconversion chart (Figure 4-2) is provided toaid in calculat ion of performance andlimitations. HD is an expression of density ofair in terms of height above sea level; hence,the less dense the air, the higher the HD. Forstandard conditions of temperature andpressure, HD is same as HP. As temperatureincreases above standard for an altitude, HDwill also increase to values higher than HP.Figure 4-2 expresses HD as a function of HPand temperature.

Density altitude chart also includes theinverse of the square root of the density ratio

(1 / ) , which is used to calculate trueairspeed by the following relation:

KTAS = KCAS×1/

EXAMPLE:

If ambient temperature is -15°C and HP is 7000

feet, find HD, 1/ , and true airspeed for 100KCAS.

SOLUTION:

Enter bottom of chart at -15°C.

Move vertically upward to 7000 feet HP line.

From this point, move horizontally toleft and read HD of 5000 feet, move

horizontally to right and read 1/ =1.08.

True airspeed = KCAS × 1/ = 100 ×1.08 = 108 KTAS.

4-4. HEIGHT – VELOCITYENVELOPE

The Height – Velocity envelope charts(Figures 4-3 and 4-4) define conditions fromwhich a safe landing can be made on asmooth, level, firm surface; following anengine failure. The Height – Velocity diagram

(Figure 4-4) is valid only when helicoptergross weight does not exceed limits of theAltitude vs Gross Weight for Height – Velocitydiagram (Figure 4-3). Four envelopes (GrossWeight Regions) are specified. Each GrossWeight Region applies for all gross weightswithin its boundaries. No interpolation isallowed.

For a given ambient outside air temperature,pressure altitude, and gross weight, theappropriate limiting envelope (Region A, B, C,or D) can be determined. Using Figure 4-3(Altitude VS Gross Weight), move upwardvertically from entry OAT to pressure altitude.From that point, move right horizontally tode termine the correct weigh t reg ion .(Examples: 15°C at Sea Level at 5000 poundsGW = Region B, and 30°C at 2000 feetpressure altitude at 5000 pounds GW =Region D) Once the correct weight region hasbeen dete rmined (A , B , C , or D ) , thecorresponding Avoid area is selected fromFigure 4-4 (Height – Velocity diagram).

4-5. HOVER CEILING

NOTE

Hover performance charts are basedon 100% ROTOR RPM.

Satisfactory stability and control have beendemonstrated in each area of the Hoverceiling charts with winds as depicted on theHover ceiling wind accountability chart(Figures 4-5, 4-5A and 4-5B).

Hover ceiling – in ground effect charts (Figure4-6) and Hover ceiling – out of ground effectcharts (Figure 4-7) present hover performanceas allowable gross weight for conditions of HPand OAT. These hover ing weights areobtainable in zero wind conditions. Eachchart is divided into two areas: Area A (nonshaded area) and Area B (shaded area).

For the data presented below 14,000 ft HD,Area A of the hover ceiling charts presentshover performance (relative to GW) forconditions where adequate control marginsexist for all relative wind conditions up to 35knots for lateral CG not exceeding ±2.5 inches(±63 mm); and up to 17 knots, for lateral CGnot exceeding ±4.0 inches (±102 mm); for

For data presented between 14,000 and 17,000ft HD, Area A of the hover ceiling chartspresents hover performance (relative to GW)for conditions where adequate controlmargins exist for all relative wind conditionsup to 20 knots for lateral CG not exceeding±2.5 inches (±63 mm); for hover, takeoff andlanding. Area B of the hover ceiling chartspresents recommended azimuth for takeoffand landing for all relative winds within ±30°of nose of helicopter for lateral CG notexceeding ±2.5 inches (±63 mm).

For data presented above 17,000 ft HD, thereis no Area A. Area B presents hoverperformance (relative to GW) for conditionswhere adequate control margins exist for allrelative winds within ±30° of the nose of thehelicopter for lateral CG not exceeding ±2.5inches (±63 mm); for hover, takeoff andlanding

Section 5WEIGHT AND BALANCE

55-1. INTRODUCTION

This section presents loading information andinstructions necessary to ensure that flightcan be performed within approved grossweight and center of gravity limitations asdefined in Section 1.

5-2. EMPTY WEIGHT CENTER OF GRAVITY

5-2-A. EMPTY WEIGHT

The empty weight condition consists of thebasic helicopter with required equipment,optional equipment kits, transmission andgearbox oils, hydraulic fluid, unusable fuel,undrainable engine oil, and fixed ballast. Theempty weight and center of gravity arerecorded on the Actual Weight Record, a copyof which should be carried in the helicopter toenable weight and balance computations.

5-2-B. CENTER OF GRAVITY

An empty weight center of gravity chart isprovided in maintenance manual as a guide tosimplify computing ballast requirements. Thischar t was der ived f rom gross we ightlongitudinal center of gravity limits shown inSection 1, using most forward and most aftuseful loads for standard seating and fuel.

NOTE

Empty weight center of gravity chartis not va l id i f he l icop ter has anonstandard fuel system or seatingarrangement.

5-3. GROSS WEIGHT CENTER OF GRAVITY

Gross weight condition is empty weightcondition plus useful load.

5-3-A. USEFUL LOADS

Useful load consists of usable fuel, engine oil,crew, passengers, baggage and cargo.Combinations of these items which have mostadverse effect on helicopter center of gravityare known as most forward and most aftuseful loads. Whenever cargo and/or baggageare carr ied, these useful loads may bedifferent for each flight, and weight andbalance must be computed to ensure grossweight and center of gravity will remain withinlimits throughout flight.

Standard most forward and most aft usefulloads are combinations of fuel, crew andpassenger loading only. These loads, inconjunction with empty weight center ofgravity chart, allow passengers only (nobaggage or other cargo) to be carried withinappropriate weight l imitat ions withoutcomputing center of gravity for each flight.

If helicopter has a nonstandard fuel system orseating arrangement, or is not ballasted inaccordance with empty weight center ofgravity chart in maintenance manual, pilotmust determine weight and balance to ensuregross weight and center of gravity will remainwithin limits throughout each flight.

5-3-B. CENTER OF GRAVITY

It is the responsibility of the pilot to ensurethat helicopter is properly loaded to maintain

Page 150: Bell 407 - Flight Manual

BHT-407-FM-1

5-4 17 DEC 2002

center of gravity throughout each flight withingross weight center of gravity limits shown inSection 1 or appropriate supplement. Grossweight longitudinal and lateral center ofgravity can be calculated using Actual WeightRecord, diagrams and loading tables in thissection and loading tables in applicable flightmanual supplements.

When carry ing baggage, cargo o rnonstandard loads , e f fec ts o f fue lconsumption and addi t ion/delet ion ofpassengers , baggage or cargo a tintermediate points should be checked priorto flight.

Significant fuselage stations and buttocklines are shown in Figures 5-1 and 5-2 to aidin weight and balance computations.

5-4. DOORS OPEN OR REMOVED

When one or more cabin doors are removed,helicopter may exceed gross weight center ofgravity limits during flight. If using Weightempty center of gravity chart, refer to BHT-407-MM-1, a ballast adjustment to offsetmoment change is necessary (Table 5-1).Otherwise, gross weight center of gravityshould be computed for each flight.

5-4-A. DOOR WEIGHTS AND MOMENTS

Following table presents weight and momentadjustments for cabin doors. Sign conventionfor buttock lines used to compute lateralmoments are:

1. Left is negative.

2. Right is positive.

Example:

When removing a left door only, subtractpositive weight value and negative momentvalue shown in table. Net effect on helicopteris a reduction in weight and a shift in lateralCG to right (positive direction).

5-4-B. BALLAST ADJUSTMENT

Following check can be made to determine ifa ballast adjustment is necessary after doorsare removed or installed.

1. For helicopters without ballast orwith nose ballast, apply weight andmoment changes to most aft usefulload condition to determine if anincrease in nose ballast is required,or a reduction is allowed.

2. For helicopters with tail ballast,apply weight and moment changesto most fo rward use fu l loadcondition to determine if a reductionin tai l bal last is a llowed, or anincrease is required.

NOTE

Ballast changes are performed bymaintenance personnel. After anyballast change, Actual Weight Recordmust be revised to show new weightempty condition.

5-5. COCKPIT AND CABIN LOADING

Loading tables (Tables 5-2 and 5-3) provideweights and moments for each passengerlocat ion , l i t te r pat ient and baggagecompartment in both U.S. and metric units.

To find moments for weights in excess ofthose shown on tables, multiply weight byfuselage station at which center of gravity of

ACTION MOMENT CHANGELEFT DOOR RIGHT DOOR

Remove Positive (+) Negative (-)Install Negative (-) Positive (+)

BHT-407-FM-1

17 DEC 2002 5-5

the object is located. An alternate method isto calculate amount of weight in excess ofmaximum weight listed on table, then readmoment for this excess weight from table andadd it to moment for maximum weight shownon table. This will give desired moment for theobject.

5-5-A. LONGITUDINAL LOADING

1. A minimum weight of 170 pounds(77.1 k i lograms) is required incockpit at fuselage station 65.0when the empty weight center ofgravity chart is used.

2. Passenger seating is unrestricted.

3. Cargo loading is restricted only byfloor load limit. Refer to Section 1.

5-5-B. MOST FORWARD AND MOST AFT CG

When using empty weight center of gravitychart, following combinations of crew, fueland passenger loading wil l have mostextreme effects on longitudinal center ofgravity, assuming standard weights for allcrew and passengers.

1. Most forward CG will occur withforward and mid seats occupied andfuel quantity of 74.8 gallons (283.0liters).

2. Most aft CG will occur with oneforward seat occupied (pilot) andfuel quantity of 28.4 gallons (107.5liters).

Since center of gravity of aft passengers is onaft limit, weight of passengers is not includedin most aft useful load. However when mostaft center of gravity of a configuration isforward of aft limit, addition of aft passengerswill shift center of gravity further aft, andshould be included in computation.

5-5-C. ALTERNATE LOADING

Gross weight center of gravity chart must beused to determine cabin loading requirementsunder following conditions:

1. Whenever cargo and/or baggage arecarried.

2. When actual passenger weights areused.

3. When seating arrangement and/orfuel system are non-standard.

4. When performing specialty missions,such as hoisting or rappelling.

5-5-D. CABIN FLOOR LOADING

Cabin floor is structurally designed for 75pounds per square foot (3.7 kilograms per 100square centimeters).

5-6. BAGGAGE COMPARTMENT LOADING

When we ight is loaded in to baggagecompartment, the pilot is required to computeweight and balance, regardless of passengerloading.

Baggage compartment is s tructura l lydesigned for 86 pounds per square foot (4.2kilograms per 100 square centimeters) for atotal weight of 250 pounds (113.4 kilograms).

Loading of baggage compartment should befrom front to rear. Load shall be secured totiedown fittings if shifting of load in flightcould result in structural damage to baggagecompartment or in gross weight center ofgravity being exceeded.

If load is not secured, center of gravity mustbe computed with load in most adverseposition.

5-7. FUEL LOADING

Longitudinal center of gravity of fuel shifts asit is consumed (Figure 5-3). Extreme effects offuel consumption on helicopter center ofgravity for standard fuel system are asfollows:

1. Critical fuel for computing mostforward useful load is 74.8 gallons(283.0 liters).

2. Critical fuel for computing most aftuseful load is 28.4 gallons (107.5liters).

Fuel loading tables (Tables 5-4 and 5-5) listusable fuel quantities, weight and moments inboth U.S. and metric units.

Fuel density vs temperature (Table 5-6), isprovided to calculate fuel weight variation forequivalent volumes of fuel caused by achange in temperature. For example weight of

127.8 gallons (full fuel) of JP-5 at -40°F is913.8 pounds (414.5 kilograms) versus 869.0pounds (394.1 kilograms) shown on Fuelloading chart (Tables 5-4 and 5-5).

5-8. SAMPLE LOADING PROBLEM

A sample loading problem showing derivationof critical gross weights and center of gravitylocations for a typical mission is presented inU.S. and metric units (Tables 5-7 and 5-8).Method shown derives a gross weight withzero fuel for each load condition to bechecked, then adds appropriate fuel weightand moment read directly from Fuel loadingtable. Center of gravity for each condition iscalculated by dividing total moment by totalweight.

Forms have been provided (Tables 5-9 and 5-10) in both U.S. and Metric Units, to aid incomputing critical load conditions for a flight.

GENERAL INFORMATION

BHT-407-FMS-1

Lightweight emergency flotation landinggear kit (407-706-008) will allow helicopterto land in water during an emergencysituation. Kit consists of six skid mountedpop-out float bags, an inflation systemwith electrically operated solenoid valves,and attaching hardware. Two pneumaticcharging bottles, located on underside ofhelicopter, are interconnected by apneumatic line that will cause chargingbottle valve to open in event that its

solenoid valve fails while floats are beinginflated. Each float assembly is equippedwith an inlet check valve, high pressurerelief valve which opens at 5.25 PSIG0.25 PSI and a finger operated manualstop-cocklinflation valve. A GEN FAILcaution light alerts pilot of generatorfailure and of battery power possibly beinginsufficient to inflate floats. Float inflationtime is approximately 5 seconds.

GENERAL INFORMATiON

RYAN ATS9000 Traffic and Collision Avoidance Device (TCAD) (407-899-022) consists ofdisplay unit, processor unit, transponder coupler, dual antenna module, two antennas,wiring and hardware necessary for installation. A digital display is mounted in instrumentpanel and contains all controls required to operate TCAD. Processor unit, transpondercoupler and dual antenna module are at various locations throughout helicopter,depending on configuration. Antenna locations are on cabin top and underside ofhelicopter.

RYAN TCAD is an on-board air traffic display used to identify potential collision threats.TCAD computes relative altitude and distance of threats using transponder replies fromnearby Mode C equipped aircraft. Aircraft with non-Mode C transponders can providedistance information. TCAD will not detect aircraft without operating transponders. Withincertain limits system creates a shield of airspace around helicopter, whereby detectedtraffic cannot penetrate without generating an alert. Shield size is selectable for variousphases of flight and is adjustable by pilot.

Display is a bright, alphanumeric character. Distance is displayed in nautical miles (NM)and relative altitude is displayed in 100 foot increments. TCAD is capable of displayingmultiple threats.

For familiarization of all ATS9000 TCAD features and operation, refer to Pilots Handbook,P/N 32-21 02 Revision 1 or later.

Section 5WEIGHT AND BALANCE

55-1. INTRODUCTION

This section presents loading information andinstructions necessary to ensure that flightcan be performed within approved grossweight and center of gravity limitations asdefined in Section 1.

5-3. GROSS WEIGHT CENTER OF GRAVITY

5-3-B. CENTER OF GRAVITY

Gross weight longitudinal center of gravityand Gross weight lateral center of gravitycharts for Quiet Cruise operations are inLimitations Section 1 .

For Quiet Cruise operations maintaininglongitudinal CG within limits can be achievedby the following:

With helicopter Weight empty within envelope (BHT-407-MM-2) the helicopter will stay within Quiet Cruise limits provided both pilot and co-pilot seats are occupied. This assumes a

standard crew/passenger weight of 170 pounds (77.1 kilograms) and that fuel and payload are adjusted to stay within Maximum Gross Weight limit.If co-pilot/forward passenger seat is unoccupied then cabin payload must be adjusted to maintain flight envelope.

For helicopters operating without respect toWeight empty enve lope the p i lo t isresponsible for ensuring that when operatingin Quiet Cruise mode, helicopter weight andCG are within limits.

For Quiet Cruise operations maintainingLateral CG within limits can be achieved bythe following:

Seats should be occupied such that maximum asymmetric loading is no more than one person (170 pounds (77.1 kilograms)).

With this arrangement, a helicopter whosebasic lateral CG is ±0.3 inch (7.62 mm), willremain within lateral limits.

Section 1SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

1This kit incorporates a two position switch oncollective (Figure 1-1) permitting pilotselection of operation at 100% NR or 92% NR(Quiet Cruise Mode). A two (2) segmentannunciator located on instrument panel(Figure 1-2), when illuminated, displaysQUIET and ON. QUIET light is illuminatedwhen low rotor audio and RPM light activationpoint is reset to 88% NR. ON l ight isilluminated when FADEC is not in 100% NRmode. Both segments are green and willdenote operat ion at 92% NR has beenselected. Dual tachometer has additionalmarkings to reflect permissible operation at92% NP.

NOTESelection of FADEC switch to MANmode, for training purposes, while inQuiet Cruise Mode, will immediatelydeselect Quiet Cruise Mode and resetlow rotor audio and RPM lightactivation point to 95% NR (triggeringlow rotor audio and RPM light). QUIETand ON segments will also extinguish.Transition back to AUTO mode shouldbe accomplished at approximately100% NP to reduce engine powertransients.

A FADEC system failure (FADEC FAILlight with FADEC fail audio), while inQuiet Cruise Mode, will retainactivation point of low rotor audio andRPM light at 88%. QUIET segment willremain illuminated and ON segmentwill extinguish. Selection of FADECMAN mode will immediately deselectQuiet Cruise Mode and reset low rotoraudio and RPM activation point to 95%NR, extinguishing the QUIET segment.

Refer to appropriate performance charts inaccordance with optional equipment installed.

4-4. HEIGHT – VELOCITY ENVELOPE

Altitude vs gross weight for height-velocitydiagram (Figure 4-1) and Height-velocity(Figure 4-2) diagrams define conditions fromwhich a safe landing can be made on asmooth, level, firm surface following anengine failure. Height velocity diagram is validonly when helicopter gross weight does notexceed limits of the Altitude vs Gross Weightdiagram.

4-5. HOVER CEILING

NOTE

Hover performance charts are based on100% ROTOR RPM.

Satisfactory stability and control have beendemonstrated in each area of the Hoverceiling charts with winds as depicted onHover ceiling wind accountability chart (referto Basic Flight Manual).

Hover ceil ing – in ground effect charts(Figures 4-3 and 4-4) and Hover ceiling – outof ground effect charts (Figures 4-5 and 4-6)present hover performance as allowablegross weight for conditions of HP and OAT.These hovering weights are obtainable in zerowind conditions. Each chart is divided intotwo areas. Area A (non shaded area) of hover

ceiling charts presents hover performance(re la t ive to GW) for condi t ions whereadequate control margins exist for all relativewind conditions up to 35 knots, for lateral CGnot exceeding ±2.5 inches (±63 mm); and upto 17 knots, for lateral CG to ±4.0 inches (±102mm); for hover, takeoff, and landing. Area B(shaded area) of hover ceiling charts presentshover performance (relative to GW) whereadequate control margins exist for relativewinds within ± 45° of nose of helicopter up to35 knots, for lateral CG not exceeding ±2.5inches (±63 mm); and up to 17 knots, forlateral CG to ±4.0 inches (±102 mm); for hover,takeoff, and landing.

PERFORMANCE

Section 44t

4-1. TAKEOFF DISTANCE OVER 100-FOOT OBSTACLE

The Takeoff Distance Over 100-Foot Obstaclechar t (F igure 4-1) provides takeof fperformance data. The takeoff is initiated froma stabilized 4-foot (1.2 meter) skid heighthover. Increase power smoothly to hoverpower plus 20% torque or Takeoff Power,whichever is less, and simultaneously startnosedown pitch rotation so that the aircraftaccelerates along a flight path within thetakeoff corridor defined by the Height-Velocitydiagram (Figure 4-4 in Basic Manual). As thehelicopter goes through 50 KIAS, start noseup rotation while increasing power to TakeoffPower. With the aircraft starting to climb,continue accelerating up to 65 KIAS. Enginepower limitations are imposed to precludeunsafe nosedown attitude while in the flightpath required to remain clear of criticalheight-velocity l imitations. Good pi lottechnique i s required to ach ieve thepublished takeoff performance. Wind factorsare not considered.

NOTE

Downwind takeoffs a re notrecommended because the publishedtakeoff distance performance cannotbe achieved.

The power should be applied at a ratesufficient to expedite the maneuver butnot so rapid as to overshoot the torque

value (approximately 6 seconds). Oncepower is set, it should not be furtheradjusted until the aircraft goes through50 KIAS. At this airspeed, start nose uprotation while increasing power toTakeoff Power. While starting to climb,continue accelerating up to 65 KIAS.

EXAMPLE:

What takeoff distance is required to clear a100-foot obstacle under the fol lowingconditions:

OAT 20°CHP 1500 feetGW 4500 pounds

SOLUTION:

Enter the Takeoff Distance Over 100-FootObstacle chart (Figure 4-1) at a pressurealtitude of 1500 feet, proceed horizontally tothe 20°C temperature l ine. Drop downvertically to the 4500 lb gross weight line andmove horizontally again to read a takeoffdistance of 1010 feet.

4-2. PARTIAL POWER CLIMB

Torque limited partial power rate of climbcharts are presented for an aircraft with basicinlet installed and with the heater and engineanti-ice both OFF (Figure 4-2).

The recommended best rate of climb airspeedis 60 KIAS.

Cover engine air intake and exhaust portswhen parked during snow (or expected snow)conditions.

Remove all snow and/or ice in vicinity ofengine air intake and exhaust ports prior toremoving covers and initiating engine start.

CAUTION

BLADE AND WINDSHIELD COVERSMAY FREEZE IN PLACE AND DAMAGEMAY RESULT DURING REMOVALPROCESS.

NOTE

Particular attention should be paidduring preflight checks to those areassubject to ice accumulation.

Engine starts are improved by keeping batteryin a warm environment prior to use.

NOTE

If possible, use an external powersource for first start of day.

One fuel boost pump can be usedduring start to conserve battery power.

Normal transmission and engine oil pressuremay be exceeded during start. Stabilizeengine at idle until minimum temperature andpressure limits are reached.

If second attempt at engine start is required(due to reaching starting limits during firstattempt) wait 3 minutes prior to next startattempt to allow battery heat to distributethrough battery and engine heat to flow intolubrication system.

Prior to embarking passengers, ground runhelicopter to warm cabin interior andminimize fogging of windows.

WARNING

PRIOR TO TAKEOFF, ENSURELANDING SKIDS ARE NOT FROZEN TOGROUND.

CAUTION

ABRUPT CONTROL INPUT CHANGESCAN CAUSE HELICOPTER TO YAWEXCESSIVELY WHEN PARKED ON ICE.

If operating in remote areas for extendedperiods, perform periodic engine restarts tomaintain gearbox oil temperatures and batterycharge.

Of extensive operations at temperatures near.4Qo C (4O0 F) are expected and starting isdifficult, consideration should be given tousing MIL-L-7808 lubricating oil in engine.Reference Allison Operation and MaintenanceManual for procedures related to changing oiltypes.

11-1. INTRODUCTION

Bell Model 407 helicopter, primary andauxiliary systems, and emergency equipmentare described within this section. Optionalequipment systems which do not require aFlight Manual Supplement (FMS) will bedescribed in this section.

1-2. HELICOPTER DESCRIPTION

The Model 407 is a single engine, seven-placelight helicopter. Standard configurationprovides for one pilot and six passengers.

The fuselage consists of three main sections:the Forward Section, the IntermediateSection, and the Tailboom Section. Theforward sect ion u t i l i zes a luminumhoneycomb and carbon graphite structureand prov ides the major load carry inge lements o f the forward cab in . Theintermediate section is a semi-monocoquestructure which uses bulkheads, longeronsand carbon fibre composite side skins. Theta i lboom is an a luminium monocoqueconstruction which transmits all stressesthrough its external skins.

The helicopter is powered by a Rolls-Royce,Model 250-C47B engine. Refer to paragraph1-11, Power Plant, for complete systemdescription.

The main rotor is a four-bladed, soft-in-planedesign with a composite hub and individuallyinterchangeable blades. The tail rotor is atwo-bladed teetering rotor that providesdirectional control. Refer to paragraph 1-28,

Rotor System, for a complete systemdescription.

Basic helicopter landing gear is the low skidtype. Optional pop-out emergency flotationgear or high skid gear is also available.

1-3. PRINCIPAL DIMENSIONS

Principal exterior dimensions are shown inFigure 1-1. All height dimensions must beconsidered approximate due to variations inloading and landing gear deflection. Principalinterior dimensions of the cabin and baggagecompartment are shown in Figure 1-2.

1-4. LOCATION REFERENCES

Locations on and within the helicopter can bedetermined in re lat ion to the fuselagestat ions, waterlines, and buttock l inesmeasured in inches (mm) f rom knownreference points.

1-4-A. FUSELAGE STATIONS

Fuselage stations (FS or STA) are verticalplanes perpendicular to, and measured along,the longitudinal axis of the helicopter. Stationzero is the reference datum plane and is 1.0inch (25.4 mm) forward of the nose of thehelicopter or 55.16 inches (1401 mm) forwardof the forward jack point center line.

1-4-B. WATERLINES

Waterl ines (WL) are hor izontal p lanesperpendicular to, and measured along, thevertical axis of the helicopter. Waterline zerois a reference plane located 20.0 inches (508mm) below the lowest point on the fuselage.

Buttock l ines (BL) are vert ica l p lanesperpendicular to, and measured to the left andright, along the lateral axis of the helicopter.Buttock line zero is a plane at the lateralcenterline of the helicopter.

1-5. GENERAL ARRANGEMENT

The fuselage assembly (Figure 1-3) consistsof three main sections: the forward sectionwhich extends from the cabin nose to thebulkhead aft of the passenger compartment,the intermediate section which extends fromthe bu lkhead a ft o f the passengercompartment to the tailboom attachmentbulkhead, and the tailboom section.

The forward section provides for pilot andpassenger seating, the fuel cell enclosures,and the pylon support. The basic structure ofthe forward fuselage utilizes two honeycombpanels which are connected to create thefloor, and an aluminum roof beam assemblywhich is attached to the center of anotherhoneycomb panel to create the roof. Twobulkhead assemblies and a center postconnect the f loor and roof to make anintegrated structure. The forward fuselagesection is closed out by two carbon fibrecompos i te s ide body fa i r ings w i thinterchangeable composite doors withautomotive type latches.

The landing gear is attached to the bottom ofthe forward and aft bulkheads. The gear usesa three point attachment configuration toprevent ground resonance. The skid typelanding gear consists of two skids attached tothe ends of two arched crosstubes that aresecured to the fuselage by means of a threepoint attachment configuration. Each skidtube is fitted with a tow fitting, two saddleswith sockets for crosstubes, skid shoes along

the bottom, a rear cap, and two eyeboltfittings for mounting of ground handling gear.

The in termed ia te sect ion is asemi-monocoque structure which usesbulkheads, longerons, and carbon fibrecomposite side skins which do not needstiffeners or stringers. The lower section ofthe intermediate fuselage is closed out by ahoneycomb composi te fa i r ing . Theintermediate section provides a deck forengine installation, a baggage compartment,and an equipment compartment under theengine deck for electrical equipment, airconditioning equipment, and the tail rotorcontrol servo actuator. The engine pan andforward and aft f irewalls of the enginecompartment are manufactured from titanium.

The tailboom is a monocoque constructionwhich transmits all stresses through itsexternal skins. To increase the strength of thestructure, certain skins incorporate bondeddoublers. The tailboom assembly includes thetail rotor driveshaft, pitch change mechanism,tail rotor gearbox, tail rotor hub and bladeassembly, and the horizontal stabilizer andvertical fin.

Cowlings and fairings which enclose thevar ious roof and ta i lboom mountedassemblies provide inspection access via theuse of hinge mounts, access doors, andinspection windows or cutouts. They aremanufactured from either composite ora luminum mater ia ls and are readi lyremovable for maintenance access.

The forward cowl ing is a composi teconstruction and incorporates a single pointhinge fitting which is located at the forwardend of the fairing. Two flush mounted togglehook latches secure the cowling. Supportrods are internally stowed on each side of thecowl and f it into roof mounted clips tosupport the cowl in a raised position.

BHT-407-MD-1 MANUFACTURER’S DATA

The vert ical f in, composed primarily ofaluminum and honeycomb construction,provides directional (yaw) stability and ismounted on the aft end of the tailboom on theright side. It contains a top fairing to mount theanticollision light and on the lower edge, arubber bumper, and tail skid to protect the tailrotor and fin in the event of a tail low landing.The fin sweeps back, both above and belowthe tailboom. The leading edge is cantedoutboard 9° to reduce the required amount oftail rotor thrust during forward flight at cruisespeed.

The horizontal stabilizer extends through thetailboom, has leading edge slats, and smallauxiliary vertical fins or “dynamic dihedrals”.The main body of the horizontal stabilizer is aone-piece aluminum honeycomb structure. Itis an inverted a irfo i l which provides adownward resultant lift on the tailboom tomaintain the cabin in a nearly level attitudethroughout al l cruise airspeeds and toaerodynamically streamline the fuselage toreduce drag. The leading edge slats aredesigned to improve pitch stability duringclimbs.

The small auxiliary vertical fins are located oneach end of the horizontal stabilizer. Theleading edges of the fins are both offset 5°outboard of the helicopter centerline. Thisimproves the roll stability of the helicopter inforward flight.

The ta i lboom u t i l izes two composi teconstructed fairings to enclose the tail rotordriveshaft. The cowlings are mounted withstuds and receptac les . The s tuds arecontained in metal ejector clips, which ensurethe studs are maintained with the cowlingsduring removal, and which ensure the easyidentification of any stud that may havedislodged from its receptacle.

1-7. ENGINE INSTRUMENTS

The propulsion instruments are electronicinstruments that are individually poweredthrough circuit breakers located on the 28VDC bus of the helicopter. Each side of dualdisplay instruments such as ENGINE OILPRESSURE and TEMPERATURE are poweredthrough individual circuit breakers.

The dial of the instruments are made up of aseries of single bar LCDs which are arrangedin a trend arc. The last LCD to turn onindicates the reading of the instrument. Thefirst bar indicates power on. Some indicatorsalso include a digital display to provide moreaccuracy of the information displayed.

1-7-A. INSTRUMENT OPERATION

All of the propulsion instruments have abuilt-in-test (BIT) capability.

1-7-A-1. POWER−ON BIT

The power-on BIT starts when the power isapplied to the instrument. The power-on BITdoes an integrity check of the electroniccomponents of the indicator.

NOTE

With the “Ahlers” NR/NP gaugeinstalled, the NR and NP needles donot self test during power-on.

On all indicators except the dual tachometer,during the power-on BIT, the trend arc displayshows the full scale for 6 to 8 seconds.Torque and NG digits display 8188.8. MGT andfuel digits display 81888. NR and NP needlesof the dual tachometer move to 107 and 100%(upper redline limit) respectively.

If an LCD indicator fails the BIT, the trend arcand the digits, if applicable, will show blank. Iffaults are detected in the dual tachometerduring the BIT, pointer movement will notoccur. With the “Ahlers” dual tachometerinstalled, no movement during power-on isnorma l . Fau l ts in the “Ahlers” dua l

tachometer will be displayed by no pointermovement when depressing the LCD TESTbutton. Any failure during the BIT found ontorque, MGT, and NG indicators wil l berecorded in non-volatile memory (NVM) of theinstrument. Instruments that successfullycomplete the BIT will have the first LCD of theindicator lit or will display the appropriateindication.

On the torque MGT and NG indicators, aletter E will appear in the digital display whenthe instrument has recorded an exceedance.Pressing the INSTR CHK button will displaythe value of the last exceedance recorded.Releasing the button will clear the E until thenext power up of the instrument.

1-7-A-2. COMMANDED BIT

The commanded BIT starts when the LCDTEST button is pushed. The commanded BITturns on all the LCDs so that the pilot canverify that all the LCDs are working. On thedual tachometer indicator, the individualRotor and Turbine pointers are driven toindicate their respective upper redline limits.

1-7-A-3. EXCEEDANCE MONITORING

TORQUE, MGT, and NG instruments have anability to record exceedances. Exceedanceshave been predefined at the design stage andpreprogrammed into the microprocessor ineach indicator.

Exceedances a re def ined as l imi ts o foperation above which there may be somemaintenance action required.

NOTE

Exceedance monitoring is providedas an aid to determining requiredmaintenance action. Only the personin command of the helicopter at thetime the exceedance occurs canverify that the exceedance recordedreflects the actual occurrence.

The above instruments have built in NVM thatallows them to store up to 50 exceedance

Page 591: Bell 407 - Flight Manual

MANUFACTURER’S DATA BHT-407-MD-1

30 APR 2008—Rev. 4———1-21

events. For each exceedance, the memoryrecords the date, duration, and peak valueduring the exceedance. If exceedance eventsrecorded are greater than 50, the earliestdated exceedance that was in memory isdeleted and the latest exceedance is added inits place.

To provide advance notice to the pilot that anexceedance is about to be recorded, theseindicators also have other preprogrammedadvisory points at which they will flash theTrend ARC display. The digital readoutdisplay will not flash. Specific values arediscussed in applicable systems descriptionsin this section of manufacturer’s data.

When an advisory is disp layed by theinstrument, the instrument will also turn onthe CHECK INSTR light on the caution panel.If the pilot makes control inputs to reduce theinstrument readings below the advisoryvalues, the advisory wi l l no longer bedisplayed and the CHECK INSTR light will beturned off. No exceedance will be recorded.

When the indicator exceeds specificallypreprogrammed values, an exceedance willbe recorded. When an exceedance is about tobe recorded, the CHECK INSTR light will beturned on by the instrument. In addition, whenan exceedance is recorded, the letter E will bedisplayed at the left digit on the digitaldisplay.

The pilot can acknowledge the exceedanceand cause the peak value to be displayed onthe analog and digital display by pushing theINSTR CHK button (Figure 1-4) on theinstrument panel. The exceedance will displayfor a maximum of 11 seconds, less if the pilotpushes on the INSTR CHK button for a shorterper iod o f t ime. I f the re have beenexceedances recorded on different indicators,each ind ica tor w i l l d isp lay i ts las texceedance.

Once the pilot has pushed the INSTR CHKbutton and the exceedance(s) has beendisplayed, the E will disappear from the digitaldisplay. The E will not display until the power

is removed from and applied to the indicator(such as by pulling its circuit breaker orturning helicopter power off and on).

The last exceedance (E) will continue todisplay each time the indicator is powered upuntil the exceedance(s) is removed from theNVM of the indicator using a computer withmaintenance download so ftware(BHT-407-MM).

If an exceedance has not been detected by theTORQUE, MGT, or NG indicator, the CHECKINSTR light and the E on the indicator digitaldisplay will not illuminate when the INSTRCHK button is pressed.

1-8. CHECK INSTRUMENT (CHECKINSTR) LIGHT

The CHECK INSTR light circuit is designed toalert the pilot that either the TORQUE, MGT, orNG indicator is about to or has detected anexceedance.

When the indicators exceed preset values, theindicator's trend ARC display will begin toflash and the CHECK INSTR light will turn on.The digital readout display will not flash. If anE is displayed by an indicator, the CHECKINSTR light will remain on until the pilotacknowledges the exceedance by pushing theINSTR CHK button (Figure 1-4).

1-9. CLOCKThe clock is included in a multifunctionindicator mounted in the upper left area of theinstrument panel. The indicator also displaysOutside Air Temperature (OAT) in °C or °F andvolts (DC).

The clock is a digital display, quartz crystalchronometer.

1-10. CAUTION AND WARNINGSYSTEM

The main function of the caution and warningsystem is to detect specified conditions andprovide a visual or visual/audio indication.Detection is accomplished through the use ofmonitoring circuits that, when actuated, causethe annunciator lights to illuminate. Visualindications are provided through a cautionand warning panel while audio indications areprovided through three separate warninghorns: ENGINE OUT (pulsating), LOW ROTOR(continuous), and FADEC FAIL (chime tone)(Figure 1-7).

The caution and warning panel comprises 36individual annunciator posit ions whichprovide a visual indication of cautions (amberlights), warnings (red lights), and advisory(green or white l ights) conditions. Eachannunciator contains three lamps. Individuallamp operation is provided in the event one ormore of the lamps burns out.

Of the 36 annunciators, 32 are illuminated witha ground input (ground seeking), three areilluminated with a 28 VDC bus input (positiveseeking), and one is i l luminated with acombination ground and 28 VDC bus input(ground/positive seeking).

The FLOAT TEST, BATTERY HOT, ENGINEOVSPD, ENGINE OUT, and RPM cannot bedimmed. The remain ing l ights may beilluminated in either the fixed bright or thefixed dim mode. With the instrument lightrheostat knob in the OFF position, all lightswill illuminate in the bright mode if they areturned on. With the instrument light rheostatknob, set between the dim and BRT position,the CAUT LT DIM/BRT switch may be used toselect either the dim or bright mode. In the DIMmode all lights, with the exception of thosementioned above, will be illuminated at a fixeddim value if they are turned on.

1-11. POWER PLANT

The Rolls-Royce 250-C47B engine (Figure 1-8)is a turboshaft engine featuring a free powerturbine. The gas generator is composed of asingle-stage, single entry centrifugal flowcompressor directly coupled to a two-stagegas generator turbine. The power turbine is atwo-stage free turbine which is gas coupled tothe gas generator turbine. The integralreduction gearbox has multiple accessorypads and a splined output shaft which mateswith the freewheel unit. The engine has asingle combustion chamber with single fuelinjection and igniter. The output shaft centerline is located below the center line of theengine and the single exhaust outlet isdirected upward. The engine incorporates aFull Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC)system. At takeoff power (100% instrumenttorque) , the engine w i l l p rov ide 674horsepower at sea level, 31°C, basic inlet andat maximum continuous power (93.5%instrument torque), the engine will provide630 horsepower at sea level, 19.5°C, basicinlet.

To further clarify the 250-C47B's enginehorsepower, the engine dataplate identifiesthe engine's rated horsepower as 650. Thisrated horsepower is what Rolls-Royceguarantees the engine will provide at sea levelat a specific fuel flow and MGT. This ensuresall 250-C47B engines sold to Bell Helicoptermeet or exceed the rated horsepowerspec i f ica t ion . There fo re , the ra tedhorsepower shown on the engine dataplate isnot the maximum horsepower that the enginewi l l de l iver when insta l led in the 407helicopter.

1-12. ENGINE CONTROLS —FADEC SYSTEM

This paragraph addresses the operationaldesign of the Rolls-Royce 250-C47B FADECsystem, its relationship with airframe androtor systems, possible system faults,troubleshooting, and training procedures. Theinformation provided reflects operation withFADEC software version 5.202 and 5.356 withdirect reversion to manual system installed.A l though F l ight Manua l EmergencyProcedures are explained in this section, referto the BHT-407-FM-1, Section 3, for actualflight operations.

1-12-A. FADEC SYSTEM

The FADEC system is designed to enhanceflight safety and reduce pilot workload as wellas provide other important benefits. Inaddi t ion to the operat iona l benef i t ofincreased TBO, engine automatic start, andprecise control of main rotor speed, the 407fea tures redundant s igna l sens ing ,continuous monitoring, and self diagnostics.Since much of the redundant design istransparent to the pilot, the caution/warning/advisory system has been expanded to adviseof conditions resulting from the increasedmonitoring.

Although the possibility of a FADEC systemfailure is unlikely, pilots and maintenancepersonne l must have an operat iona lunderstanding of the FADEC system, alongwith a sound knowledge of emergency andtroubleshooting procedures. Bell Helicopterrecommends that personnel involved with the407 familiarize themselves with the procedurefor FADEC FAILURE. Familiarization with thisprocedure will help to emphasize FlightManual Emergency Procedures as thefollowing FADEC information is read withinManufacturer’s Data.

A FADEC FAILURE condition during operationin AUTO mode will be indicated by activationof the FADEC FAIL warn ing horn andillumination of the FADEC FAIL and FADECMANUAL warning lights.

1-12-B. FADEC SYSTEM — OPERATION

The control system (Figure 1-9) is designed tooperate in many modes, covering all possiblesystem states, including the transitionalmodes to and from the AUTO and MANUALmodes.

The FADEC uses a single channel control withone microprocessor and one electronic lane.There is a lso a MANUAL mode hydromechanical back-up. The FADEC system hastwo main components: the airframe mountedElectronic Control Unit (ECU) and the enginemounted Hydro mechanical Unit (HMU).

The ECU monitors numerous internal andexternal inputs to modulate fuel flow andtherefore control engine speed, accelerationra te , temperatu re , and other eng ineparameters. The ECU provides inputs to theHMU to modulate fuel flow based on thecontinuous monitoring of the following:Measured Gas Temperature (MGT), GasProducer speed (NG), Power Turbine speed(NP), Main Rotor speed (NR), Engine TorqueMeter Oil Pressure (TMOP), Collective Pitch(CP) and rate, Compressor Inlet Temperature(CIT), Ambient Pressure (P1), and PowerLever Angle (PLA)/throttle position.

In addition, when 5.356 software is installed,the engine uses a digital electronic controlsystem based on two electronic governorscalled primary channel and reversionarygovernor. The p r imary channe l is afull-authority digital electronic control(FADEC) that controls, monitors, and limitsengine power while maintaining helicopterrotor speed. The reversionary governor canautomatically take control of the engine in theevent of a primary channel failure. Thereversionary governor uses a limited set ofinputs and prov ides bas ic e lect ronicgoverning.

The HMU consists of a two stage suction fuelpump, fuel metering assembly, Auto/Manualchangeover so lenoid va lve , e lect r icoverspeed valve, mechanical fuel shut offvalve, hot start fuel solenoid valve, andaltitude compensated bellows. The HMUprovides fuel modulation via a stepper motorin AUTO mode and a hydro mechanicalactuator in MANUAL mode.

1-12-C. POWER UP MODE ANDBUILT-IN-TEST

The FADEC system incorporates logic andcircuitry to perform self-diagnostics. Ingeneral, sensors are checked for continuity,rate and proper range. Discrete inputs arechecked for continuity and output drivers aremonitored for current demand to sense failedactuators and open or shorted circuits. AFADEC power up check exercises outputdrivers and actuators to ensure systemfunctional i ty and readiness. The briefappearances of light indications and theirrespective horn observed immediately afterapplication of power are normal and are partof the FADEC system’s designed initializationprocess. If any faults are detected during theself-test, the appropriate FADEC cautionpanel light will illuminate.

The helicopter 28 VDC bus supplies electricalpower to the FADEC ECU until the engineachieves 85% NP. Above this speed, theFADEC ECU will select between the 28 VDCbus and the engine-driven permanent magnetalternator (PMA), as its primary power source.The higher voltage source will be selected. Inthe event of a primary power source failure,the alternate source will be selected.

1-12-D. START IN AUTO MODE

To ready the system for an automatic start,the FADEC MODE switch must be set toAUTO, and the throttle set to the idle position.The s tar t sw i tch is then momentar i lypositioned to START. Observe START andAUTORELIGHT lights are illuminated beforereleasing START switch. Throttle modulationof fuel flow is not required.

Although the start sequence is automatic, thepilot is responsible for monitoring the startand taking appropriate action if required.Therefore, it is recommended that both thethrottle and start switch are guarded until thestart is completed. Do not initiate a start ifFADEC related caution panel l ights areilluminated unless appropriate maintenanceinvestigation or successful corrective actionhas been carried out and no "current" faultsare shown (paragraph 1-12-R-2).

NOTE

After the throttle is set to idle, themomentary contact start switch mustbe activated within 60 seconds toinitiate the start and engage thelatching feature. The latching featureof the start will engage when theFADEC ECU senses momentaryactivation (1 second) of the startswitch or upon sensing an NG speedof 5%. If a start is attempted followinga delay of more than 60 seconds, theFADEC system will not allow thestarter to latch following release ofthe s tar t sw i tch , and w i l l notintroduce fuel if the start switch isheld to START. Therefore, if a delayof more than 60 seconds hasoccurred, the system must be reset.To reset the system, the throttle mustbe repositioned to cutoff and thenback to idle. In addition, if electricalpower is in ter rupted pr io r toinitiating the start, with the throttle atid le , the thro t t le must berepositioned to cutoff and then backto idle after power is restored tore-enable the latching feature. Anormal automatic start sequencemay then commence. If startingengine on external power, refer toparagraph 1-32-A, External Power.

To allow for cooler starts and reduce thepossibility of reaching hot start abort limits, it

is recommended that residual MGT be below150°C, when below 10,000 feet HP or below65°C, when above 10,000 feet HP prior to start.To reduce residual MGT, a Dry Motoring Runmay be performed in accordance with theFlight Manual.

Activating the automatic start mode engagesthe airframe mounted FADEC/start relaywhich is then latched by the FADEC ECU untilthe NG speed reaches 50%. The FADEC/startrelay places the MGT indicator into the startmode, signals the generator control unit/voltage regulator to inhibit generator output,flashes the shunt field for the duration of thestart, and activates the starter relay. Thestarter relay activates the starter, illuminatesthe START advisory segment on the cautionpanel, and activates the igniter relay. Theigniter relay activates the engine ignitersystem and illuminates the AUTO RELIGHTadvisory segment of the caution panel. Whilein s tar t mode, the MGT ind ica tor isprogrammed to record s ta r t MGTexceedances, should they occur, which differfrom normal operational MGT exceedancelimits.

NOTE

The fo l lowing paragraph isapplicable if helicopter is configuredwith FADEC Software Version 5.356(Reversionary Governor).

Once NG speed reaches 10% for ambienttemperatures of 26.6°C (80°F) or below, or12% for ambient temperatures above 26.6°C(80°F), the FADEC system will introduce fuel,detect the lightoff, and smoothly acceleratethe engine to idle while limiting MGT ifnecessary. At inlet temperatures below -18°C,the FADEC will increase start accelerationfrom 2 to 6% NG per second. The increase inthe acceleration rate will be noticeable duringstart and improves start performance atcolder temperatures and at higher altitudes.

Page 600: Bell 407 - Flight Manual

BHT-407-MD-1 MANUFACTURER’S DATA

1-30———Rev. 2—31 JAN 2007

NOTE

The fo l lowing paragraph isapplicable if helicopter is configuredwith FADEC Software Version 5.202.

Once NG speed reaches 10% for ambienttemperatures of -6.7°C (20°F) or below, or 12%for ambient temperatures above -6.7°C (20°F),the FADEC system will introduce fuel, detectthe lightoff, and smoothly accelerate theengine to idle while limiting MGT if necessary.At inlet temperatures below -18°C, the FADECwill increase start acceleration from 2 to 6%NG per second . The increase in theacceleration rate will be noticeable duringstart and improves start performance atcolder temperatures and at higher altitudes.

Upon reaching an engine NG speed of 50%,the FADEC ECU unlatches the FADEC/startrelay, terminating the start sequence. Inaddi t ion , the ECU increments thestart-counter to the next number when lightoffis detected.

Above 50% NG, the FADEC ECU carries out aself test of the auto relight system andcontinues to energize the igniter relay until 60±1% NG. During this time, the AUTO RELIGHTlight will be illuminated. The engine willcontinue to accelerate until reaching astabilized idle of 63 ±1% NG.

The FADEC system also incorporates "HotStart Abort Logic" up to 50% NG during start.This ECU controlled feature will cut off fuelflow to the engine fuel nozzle if any of thefollowing conditions occur:

Start MGT exceeds 843°C, at pressurealtitudes less than 10,000 feet and if ECUdetermined residual MGT was less than82.2°C at initiation (5% NG) of start.

Start MGT exceeds 912°C, at pressurealtitudes greater than 10,000 feet or ifECU determined residual MGT wasgreater than 82.2°C at initiation (5% NG)of start.

Voltage to FADEC ECU drops below 10.3VDC. As a significant momentary voltagedrop occurs at initiation of the start,ensuring a battery voltage of 24 VDC orabove prior to start, in conjunction withappropriate battery maintenance, willreduce the poss ib i l i ty o f vo l tagedropping to 10.3 VDC.

If a FADEC aborted start occurs or the pilotmanually initiates a start abort by positioningthe throttle to cut off, the FADEC is designedto automatically keep the starter engaged forup to 60 seconds from initiation of the start, toreduce MGT to 150°C. Once 150°C MGT isobtained, the starter will disengage.

NOTE

Momentarily positioning the startswi tch to D ISENG wi l l on lydeactivate the FADEC/start relaywhich in turn disables the starter andign i te r c i rcu i ts . In the eventdeactivation of the starter and ignitercircuits occurs after engine light-off,but below 50% NG, the FADEC ECUwill either modulate fuel flow toprov ide a star t i f N G speed issufficient, or cutoff fuel flow if MGTexceeds hot start abort limits due tolow NG speed. Therefore, positioningthe th rot t le to cuto f f is theappropriate method to manually stopthe start sequence.

Following start and prior to increasing enginespeed and main rotor RPM to 100%, a FADECMANUAL check is required. The purpose ofthis check is to ensure the engine responds tothrottle movement while in MANUAL mode.Prior to positioning the FADEC mode switchto MANUAL for the purposes of this check,ensure the throttle is positioned to idle andNG speed is at 63 ±1%.

NOTE

The engine idle speed may reduce tothe point where the engine out lightand horn are activated.

Page 601: Bell 407 - Flight Manual

MANUFACTURER’S DATA BHT-407-MD-1

31 JAN 2007—Rev. 2———1-31

NOTE

If NG increases to more than 75% NGwith throttle positioned in idle detent,maintenance action is required.Refer to the Rolls-Royce 250-C47BOperation and Maintenance Manual.

Once the FADEC mode switch is positioned toMANUAL, the FADEC MANUAL and AUTORELIGHT lights will illuminate. In addition, theNG speed may change from 63 ±1%. Anincrease or decrease in NG speed may benoticed. The change in NG speed is due to thefact that the FADEC system is nottemperature compensated in regard to fuelflow in MANUAL mode. Engine load and HMUcalibration will also play a part in determiningif the NG speed will change.

Once NG is stabilized, slowly increase throttleto approximately 5 to 10% NG to ensureengine responds and then return throttle toidle position. Position FADEC Mode switch toAUTO and ensure FADEC MANUAL and AUTORELIGHT lights extinguish. Engine shouldreturn to an NG speed of 63 ±1%.

Engine acceleration from idle to 100% NR/NP,in AUTO mode, is achieved by smoothlyincreasing the throttle to the FLY detentpos i t ion (PLA 70° ) . As the thro t t le ispositioned from idle (PLA 30° to 40°) to theFLY detent position (PLA 70°), electricalsignals are sent to the ECU from the HMU –PLA potentiometer. These signals dictate theamount of authority the ECU has to controlmaximum fuel flow (NG limiting) based onthrottle position, and in turn controls engineNG speed. Therefore, as the throttle isincreased from idle to the FLY detent position,the fuel flow is electronically increased until100% NR/NP is obtained. To avoid rapid engineacceleration, it is recommended that throttleapplication from idle to the FLY detentposition be conducted in a smooth andgradual manner.

1-12-E. ALTERNATE START — AUTOMODE

For helicopters that operate at temperaturesof approximately 26.6°C (80°F) and above, orat high altitudes and experience a hot startabort event, the start procedure listed belowis approved and has been demonstrated toovercome this issue in most instances.

For hot and/or high altitude environments,and when prior troubleshooting has notrevealed any engine maintenance issues, thisprocedure can be used to alleviate thepossibility of aborted hot starts.

With the collective in the full down positionand the throttle in CUTOFF, the pilot caninitiate the start by pressing the starterswitch. This will energize the starter motorand turn on the ignition exciter (continue tohold starter switch). Once N1 has reachedapproximately 16%, the pilot is to move thethrottle from CUTOFF to IDLE. Once throttle ismoved to IDLE position, the starter will latchand the starter switch can be released oncelight off is detected. The engine will detectlight off and smoothly accelerate to groundidle while limiting the MGT if necessary.

1-12-F. START IN MANUAL MODE

In accordance with the Rolls-Royce 250-C47BOperation and Maintenance Manual, ManualMode starting on the ground is not authorizedexcept for use under emergency conditions orunder special permit from the local aviationauthority. Refer to the Rolls-Royce 250-C47BOperation and Maintenance Manual to ensureall Manual Mode Operational Procedures arefollowed. Automatic hot start abort featuresare not available in MANUAL mode.

To ready the system for a manual start, theFADEC MODE switch is set to MAN and thethrottle positioned to cutoff. In MANUAL, theFADEC will not latch the FADEC/start relay orcontrol the fuel scheduling during the start.The start switch must be held in the STARTposition until the start sequence is completed

at 50% NG. When the NG speed reaches 12%,or NG speed speci f ied in Rol ls-Royce250-C47B Operation and Maintenance Manualfor specific OAT, slowly advance the throttleout of cutoff and stop when the engine lightsoff. Allow the MGT to peak and then increasefuel flow by modulating throttle to maintainMGT within limits.

Once the engine has been started, positionthe throttle to the idle detent and monitor theNG speed.

NOTE

The engine idle speed may reduce tothe point where the engine out lightand horn are activated.

NOTE

If NG increases to more than 75% NGwith throttle positioned in idle detent,maintenance action is required.Refer to the Rolls-Royce 250-C47BOperation and Maintenance Manual.

Id le detent speed in MANUAL may notstabilize at 63 ±1% NG.

• If NG speed stabilizes below 63 ±1%,adjust throttle to maintain 63 ±1% NG.

• If NG speed stabilizes between 63 ±1%and 75% this is acceptable provided NPspeed does not fall into avoid STEADYSTATE range of 68.4 to 87.1% NP. If thisoccurs, adjust throttle to avoid 68.4 to87.1% NP.

• If NG stabilizes above 75% NG,maintenance action is required.

Once a MANUAL mode star t has beeninitiated, it may be terminated at any time byrotating the throttle to cutoff. The pilot shouldcontinue motoring the engine until the MGThas stab i l ized a t an acceptable leve l .Releasing the start switch from the STARTposition will disengage the FADEC/start relayand disable the starter and igniter circuits.

After a successful MANUAL mode start, andidle has been achieved and is stable, performa momentary switch back to AUTO mode. Ifengine flameout occurs, subsequent starts/flight are prohibited until appropriate FADECsystem troubleshooting has been performed.

Engine acceleration from idle to 100% isachieved by positioning the throttle towardsfu l l open. Th is is ach ieved th roughhydromechanical control of the HMU fuelmetering valve.

1-12-G. IN-FLIGHT AUTO MODEOPERATION

NOTE

If throttle is not maintained in FLYdetent position during normal flightoperations, available engine powermay be limited. This will occur ifthrottle is positioned from the FLYdetent (PLA 70°) to a setting which isless than 62° PLA. Although anythrottle position from 62° PLA to fullopen will provide the FADEC withcomplete control to maintain NRwithin limits, the approved throttleposition for flight is the FLY detentposition (PLA 70°).

During flight in AUTO mode with the throttlein FLY detent position (PLA 70°), the FADEChas complete control over engine operation tomaintain NR within limits. The ECU receivesengine and airframe parameter inputs andcockpit command signals, processes them,and modulates the HMU stepper motor drivenfuel metering valve to achieve desired engineperformance.

If required, as may be the case in certainEmergency Procedures, an alternate meansof engine control is also available to the pilotin AUTO mode. This can be achieved bymanipulating the throttle below FLY detentpos i t ion unt i l the requ i red eng ineperformance is achieved. As the throttle ispositioned between HMU Power Lever Angles

of 40 to 62°, electrical signals are sent to theECU from the HMU-PLA potentiometer. Thesesignals dictate the amount of authority theECU has to control maximum fuel flow (NGlimiting), and in turn, engine NG speed.Therefore, as throt t le is increased ordecreased, the maximum NG speed isregulated electrically by limiting the fuel flow.

In AUTO mode, the FADEC is capable ofdetecting an engine flameout by sensing NGdeceleration. Without any pilot action, theau to - re l igh t sequence is in i t ia ted byestablishing a control led fuel f low andactivating the ignition system. The FADEC willcontrol the MGT and accelerate the engine tothe previously selected state.

The automatic relight sequence will initiate atdetection of a flameout, continuing theprocedure until a relight occurs or the NGspeed decays to 50%. During this time, theAUTO RELIGHT and ENGINE OUT cautionpanel lights will be illuminated and the engineout warning horn will be activated. If the NGdecays below 50%, the FADEC system willdiscontinue the attempt to relight the engineand the ENGINE OUT light and warning hornwi l l remain act ive . In the event o f anunsuccessful relight, refer to the restart –automatic mode emergency proceduredescribed in the BHT-407-FM-1. For additionalinformation on in-flight AUTO mode restarts,refer to paragraph 1-18.

While in AUTO mode, if any failure occurs inthe ECU or in one of its input/output signalsthat significantly impacts the ECU control ofthe HMU, the pilot will be alerted via theFADEC FAIL warning horn and the FADECFAIL and FADEC MANUAL warning lights. Ifthe detected failure does not significantlyimpair the functioning of the ECU, the pilotwill be alerted via a FADEC DEGRADED,FADEC FAULT caution light, RESTART FAULTadvisory light, or combination of, dependingon the nature of the fault.

CAUTION

BELL HELICOPTER REQUIRESMAINTENANCE ACTION, PRIOR TOFLIGHT, WHEN A FADEC RELATEDLIGHT IS ILLUMINATED.

There are eight lights in the caution/warning/advisory panel that are controlled by theFADEC: FADEC FAIL, FADEC MANUAL,FADEC DEGRADED, FADEC FAULT, RESTARTFAULT, ENGINE OVSPD, ENGINE OUT, andAUTO RELIGHT.

The FADEC ECU continuously monitors theFADEC system for fau l ts and makesappropriate accommodations to continueoperat ion . Fau l t codes have beenpreassigned to those parameters beingmonitored by the FADEC ECU.

Faults and exceedances can be recordedunder the following conditions:

Engine operating:

When the engine is operating (i.e.,Iightoff has been detected) theFADEC will automatically recordfaults/exceedances as current, lastengine run, and accumulated, asthey occur.

Engine not operating:

When the engine is not operating, butelectrical power is applied, theFADEC will only record current faultsas they occur.

If any failure occurs in the ECU/HMU or in oneof the input/output signals that significantlyimpacts the ECU or control of the HMU, thepilot will be alerted via the FADEC FAILwarning horn and the FADEC FAIL/FADECMANUAL warning lights.

With FADEC Software Version 5.356 installed,the reversionary (backup) governor will beactivated under certain fault conditions toeliminate a FADEC FAIL condition. This willallow operations in a degraded mode whileremaining in AUTO mode (paragraph 1-12-M).

If the detected failure does not significantlyimpair the functioning of the ECU, the pilotwill be alerted via a FADEC DEGRADED,FADEC FAULT caution light, RESTART FAULTadvisory light, or a combination of, dependingupon the nature of the fault.

If the fault is minor in nature, it will not becommunicated to the pilot with the enginerunning. These faults are identif ied asmaintenance advisory faults and will bedisplayed during shutdown when the throttleis placed in the cutoff position and NG speeddecays below 9.5%. This will be in the form ofa FADEC DEGRADED light.

The BHT-407-FM-1 provides the appropriateaction required by the pilot for each light orlight/horn condition.

All FADEC faults have been categorized intofive types. The first four relate to in-flightfaults and the fifth relates to MaintenanceAdvisory faults with the engine shut down.Maintenance Advisory faults displayed duringshutdown wil l be discussed under theheading FADEC SYSTEM FAULTS — ENGINESHUT DOWN.

1-12-I. CATEGORY 1 — FADEC FAIL/FADEC MANUAL — DIRECTREVERSION TO MANUALSYSTEM (DRTM)

Faul ts that requ i re p i lo t ac t ion andautomatically initiate a transition to theMANUAL mode will be displayed immediatelywhen detected by the ECU. These faults willdisplay as FADEC FAIL/FADEC MANUAL. TheFADEC FAIL horn (chime tone) will activate inconjunction with the FADEC FAIL and FADECMANUAL warning lights. In addition, theRESTART FAULT light will also be displayed

with a FADEC FAIL /FADEC MANUALcondition.

The DIRECT REVERSION to MANUAL systemensures all FADEC failures revert directly toMANUAL. FAIL FIXED failures do not existwithin this system. In addition, the systemincorporates a throttle which is detented atthe 90% NG bezel FLY position.

The main intent of DIRECT to MANUALsystem is to simplify pilot procedures in theevent o f a FADEC fa i lure . Th is isaccomplished by allowing the pilot to keephis hands on the controls during a FADECfailure and enable an increase or decrease inthrottle from the FLY detent position, asrequired. The pilot will only have to removehis hand from the collective to press theFADEC MODE switch to silence the horn onceestablished in MANUAL mode.

1-12-I-1. THE FADEC SYSTEM WILL FAILTO THE MANUAL MODE ASFOLLOWS:

In this situation, reversion to MANUAL modewill occur, independent of the position of theFADEC MODE switch on the instrument panel.The reversion to MANUAL mode will beginimmediately.

This condition can be identified by thesounding of the FADEC FAIL warning horn,illumination of the FADEC FAIL and FADECMANUAL caution panel lights and FADECMODE switch MAN light at the time of thefailure. As the FADEC SYSTEM has initiatedthe transition to MANUAL mode, the pilotmust be aware that an increase or decrease inNR/NP may occur within 2 to 7 secondsfollowing a direct failure to MANUAL. If thisoccurs, collective and throttle will have to beused to control RPM.

The objective of the DIRECT REVERSION toMANUAL system is to provide the pilot withthrottle control of the fuel metering valve in atimely manner. MANUAL mode allows the

Page 605: Bell 407 - Flight Manual

MANUFACTURER’S DATA BHT-407-MD-1

31 JAN 2007—Rev. 2———1-35

pilot to control NR/NP with coordinatedcontrol of the collective and throttle.

The following procedural steps are required:

1. Throttle — If time permits, matchthrottle bezel position to NGindication.

This has proven to reduce the possibilityof an overspeed o r underspeedcondition.

This procedure also permits a smoothertransition to MANUAL mode. This is dueto the fact that the actual NG speed andfuel metering valve position prior toswitching to MANUAL mode will be veryclose to that following the transition toMANUAL mode, resulting in little, if any,RPM change.

If time does not permit matching ofthrottle bezel position to NG indication,initially maintain throttle in detented FLYposition.

2. NR/NP — Maintain 95 to 100% withcollective and throttle.

It is most important to ensure that NR/NP ismonitored and properly controlled, duringand following the transition to MANUALmode.

Within 2 to 7 seconds after FADEC FAILwarning, NR/NP may increase or decreasevery rapidly. This will require collectiveinputs to control RPM. The 407 rotorsystem is very responsive to collectiveinputs and can be controlled by the pilotshould a NR/NP overspeed/underspeedtendency arise.

As it takes 2 to 7 seconds to complete thetransition to MANUAL mode, use of

thro t t le to cont ro l NR /N P w i l l beineffective until the transition to MANUALmode is complete. The transition will notbe completed until the fuel meteringvalve in the HMU can be manual lycontrolled by the pilot through use of thethrottle on the collective.

There are two pistons within the HMU(Figure 1-10): a Manual Load Piston (slowpiston) and a PLA Follower Piston (fastpiston), which must hydromechanicallyextend to contact opposite sides of thefuel metering valve shaft lever. The twopistons move at different rates towardthe fuel metering valve lever. It takesapproximately 2.0 seconds for bothpistons to make contact with the fuelmeter ing va lve lever fo l lowing atransition from an initial condition of lowfuel flow. Similarly, up to 7 seconds maybe required for the two pistons to makecontact following a transition from aninitial condition of high fuel flow. Refer toFigure 1-10 through Figure 1-12 foraddit ional information on AUTO toMANUAL mode transitions.

An increase in NR/NP speed may beexper ienced while in t ransi t ion toMANUAL from a condition of low tohigher fuel flow or high fuel flow to ahigher fuel flow. This will be seen if thethrottle to bezel selection made by thepilot in step 1 of the procedure is higherthan the actual NG speed at the time ofthe FADEC FAILURE condition.

This will occur during the period whenthe HMU Manual Load Piston (slowpiston) engages the fuel metering valvelever and moves i t to a more openposition until the PLA Follower Piston(fast piston) is contacted.

AUTO TO MANUAL TRANSITION AT LOW FUEL FLOW

INITIAL CONDITION:

Auto mode, low engine fuel flow, throttle at "FLY'' position.

Auto/manual changeover solenoid valve is de-energized, allowing high pressure fuel to manual

load piston and PLA follower piston.

Manual load piston "slowly'' extends. Engages metering valve lever in approximately 2.0 seconds

and begins to drive it to meet PLA follower piston.

Concurrently, PLA follower piston "rapidly'' extends in approximately 1.0 second to a position

that is a function of throttle (PLA) position.

Matching throttle and bezel to the actual N speed will allow the PLA follower piston to position

itself very close to the actual position of the metering valve at the time of the transition. This will

minimize the fuel flow change during the transition. Positioning the throttle to a bezel setting that

is higher than actual N speed at the time of the transition will produce an increase in fuel flow

during the transition. The increase in fuel flow will be caused as the manual load piston engages

the metering valve lever and drives it towards the PLA follower piston. Inversely, positioning the

throttle to a bezel setting that is lower than actual N speed at the time of the transition will

produce a decrease in fuel flow during the transition. The decrease in fuel flow will be caused as

the PLA follower piston engages the metering valve lever and drives it towards the manual load

piston.

After both pistons engage, manual mode is established and no delay exists between throttle

(PLA) movement and fuel flow change.

Slew rate limiting is achieved by hydraulic dynamics.

After FADEC mode switch manual selection or initiation of direct reversion to manual:

Auto/manual changeover solenoid valve normally closed (energized) in auto mode.

Auto/manual changeover solenoid valve is opened (de-energized) for transition to and

during manual mode operation. With the valve open, fuel pressure is used to position the

manual load piston and PLA follower piston.

PLA follower piston is controlled by throttle (PLA) position during transition to manual

and when in manual mode. PLA follower piston position is regulated by fuel pressure

bleed through variable orifice. This provides the means to increase or decrease fuel flow

by altering the position of the fuel metering valve. Manual load piston ensures metering

valve lever is held against PLA follower piston.

When in automatic mode, both the PLA follower piston and manual load piston are

retracted from the metering valve lever. They are held in the retracted position by fuel

pressure when the auto/manual changeover solenoid valve is closed (energized).

Inversely, a decrease in NR/NP speed maybe experienced during the transition toMANUAL from a condition of low to lowerfuel flow or high fuel flow to a lower fuelflow. This will be seen if the throttle tobezel selection made by the pilot instep 1 of the procedure is lower than theactual NG speed at the time of the FADECFAILURE condition. This will occurduring the period when the PLA FollowerPiston (fast piston) engages the fuelmetering valve lever and moves it to amore closed position as dictated bythrottle to bezel position.

The approximate time to detect a powerchange during the transition to manual issummarized in Table 1-1.

In simpler terms, there will be a timedelay and possible change in enginepower while the system transitions toMANUAL. The length of the delay anddegree of power change during thetransition depends on engine power atthe time of the FADEC failure and the

desired power as selected by throttleposition for the transition. As statedpreviously, the degree of power changecan be minimized by matching thethrottle bezel to the actual indicated NGspeed in step 1 of the FADEC FAILUREprocedure. This permits the smoothertransition to MANUAL mode due to thefact that the actual NG speed and fuelmeter ing va lve pos i t ion p r ior toswitching to MANUAL will be very closeto that fo l lowing the t ransi t ion toMANUAL mode. This will result in little, ifany, power/RPM change.

Once both pistons contact the lever onthe fue l meter ing va lve shaft , thetransition to MANUAL Mode will becomplete. The pilot will have slew ratelimited control of the fuel metering valvevia throttle position without any delay.

Throttle may now be used, in conjunction withcollective, to maintain rotor and engine RPMwithin 95 to 100%.

Once in MANUAL mode, the pilot will havecomplete control of NR/NP by flight controlmanipula t ion and the thro t t le on theco l lect ive . The fue l f low s lew ra te ishydromechanically limited to provide properresponsiveness for helicopter operation andalso prevents surge. Fuel flow will be afunction of the pilot controlled fuel meteringvalve orifice size. Maximum ContinuousPower wil l be avai lable for al l ambient

conditions. MANUAL mode fuel f low ispressure altitude compensated to maintain anapproximate constant horsepower, with achange in altitude without throttle adjustmentby the pilot. Fuel flow in the MANUAL mode,however, is not temperature compensated.Because of this, there may be temperatures atwhich maximum fuel flow in MANUAL modewill not be sufficient to achieve TakeoffPower.

NOTE

In the event engine (NP) overspeedsystem is activated during transitionto or operation in MANUAL mode, thecontrol system is designed to keepthe engine running. Engine mayoscillate between 112.5 and 118.5%NP until corrective action is takenwi th thro t t le and co l lec t ive(paragraph 1-12-N).

3. FADEC MODE switch – Depress onetime.

Depressing the FADEC mode switch onetime will mute the FADEC FAIL warninghorn (chime tone). As the transition toMANUAL mode was init iated by theFADEC system, this step should not beaccompl ished unt i l p i lo t is f i rmlyestablished in MANUAL control.

This will allow pilot to keep hands onflight controls during the transition toMANUAL mode.

If the FADEC ECU is operational, it willt rack HMU opera t ion , per formdiagnostics, monitor engine functions,and provide overspeed limiting for bothNP and NG. Surge detec t ion andavoidance will not be available. If anengine surge is encountered, decreasethe throttle until the surge conditionclears, then slowly increase the throttleto the desired power level. Rapid powerchanges should be avoided.

These faults willbe displayed immediately when detected bythe ECU. Operations should be continued inAUTO mode and helicopter is to be flownsmooth ly and nonaggress ive ly. Inconjunction with the FADEC DEGRADEDlight, the RESTART FAULT light may alsoactivate under certain fault conditions.

With FADEC Software Version 5.356 installed,the reversionary (backup) governor will beactivated under certain fault conditions,which will also allow operations in a degradedmode (paragraph 1-12-M).

Itprov ides bas ic power turb ine speedgoverning in the event of a hard faultoccurring in the primary governor. Failure ofthe FADEC into Reversionary Governor modeis indicated by the i l luminat ion of thefollowing three lights: FADEC FAULT, FADECDEGRADE, and RESTART FAULT. This type offailure causes a degradation in performanceand can cause NR droop, NR lag, or reducedmaximum power capabil ity. Operationsshould be continued in AUTO mode andhelicopter is to be flown smoothly andnon-aggressively. Applicable maintenanceaction will be required prior to next flight(paragraph 1-12-R).

1-12-N. ENGINE OVERSPEEDPROTECTION

NP overspeed limiting is available in both theAUTO and MANUAL modes by independentanalog circuits integral to the ECU. NGoverspeed limiting is available in the AUTOand MANUAL modes through software controlin the ECU. In the event of a FADEC FAILURE,it is possible that NG overspeed protectionwill not be available.

The FADEC ECU continuously monitors forNG and NP, or NP versus torque (Q) (5.202FADEC software) overspeed conditions inboth AUTO and MANUAL Mode.

Activation of the ENGINE OVSPD warningl ight w i l l occur in the event o f an NPoverspeed, NG overspeed, or if NP versustorque (5.202 FADEC software) is above thecontinuous limit (102.1% NP at 100% torque to108.6% NP at 0% torque). With 5.356 FADECsoftware, the ENGINE OVSPD warning lightwill illuminate when NP reaches or exceeds102.1%, regardless of the torque value. Thelight will also momentarily illuminate duringthe overspeed system test when theoverspeed solenoid valve closes.

If the ENGINE OVSPD light is activated duringengine operation due to an exceedance, andthe value has been recorded by the ECU, thepilot will be provided with a maintenanceadvisory on shutdown in the form of a FADECDEGRADED light. The FADEC DEGRADEDlight will illuminate when NG speed decaysbelow 9.5%. If the pilot fails to recognizeillumination of the FADEC DEGRADED lighton shutdown, it will be illuminated the nexttime electrical power is applied following theFADEC system self test. When the FADECDEGRADED l ight is i l lumina ted as amaintenance adv isory, maintenanceinvestigation is required prior to further flight.Peak values of exceedances are located onthe Engine History Data page of the EMC-35AMaintenance Terminal.

If limits are exceeded, refer to 250-C47BSeries Overspeed Limits in the Rolls-RoyceOperation and Maintenance Manual and theBHT-407-MM-2, Chapter 5.

• NP OVERSPEED

When the engine reaches 118.5 ±1% NP,overspeed limiting will occur. The analogoverspeed limiting feature will activatethe overspeed solenoid valve, whichreduces fuel to the engine to a minimumflow condition (sub-idle value of 34 to 45pph). The minimum fuel flow increasesthe likelihood of the engine remainingrunning and recover ing f rom theoverspeed. Once the NP speed drops to112.5 ±2%, the overspeed solenoid valvewill be deactivated and fuel flow willreturn to its previously commandedvalue.

In the event the overspeed cannot becontrolled after fuel flow is reintroduced,the overspeed limiting feature will controlthe overspeed between the activation trippo in t o f 118 .5 ±1% N P and thedeactivation point of 112.5 ±2% NP. If thisoccurs, attempt to control engine androtor speed with throttle and collective.Refer to the ENGINE OVERSPEEDprocedure in the Flight Manual.

• NG OVERSPEED

In AUTO mode, a software implementedoverspeed system is provided. Shouldthe software detect an NG overspeed, theprotection feature will be activated. Inaddition, if the ECU has not failed, NGoverspeed protection will be available inMANUAL mode.

When the engine reaches 110 ±1% NG,the ENGINE OVSPD warning light willilluminate and overspeed limiting willoccur. The software controlled overspeedl imi t ing fea tu re w i l l ac t iva te theoverspeed solenoid valve which reducesfuel to the engine to a minimum flow

condition (sub-idle value of 34 to 45 pph).The minimum fuel flow increases thel ikel ihood of the engine remainingrunning and recover ing f rom theoverspeed. Once the NG speed drops to107 ±1%, the overspeed solenoid valvewill be deactivated and fuel flow willreturn to its previously commandedvalue.

In the event the overspeed cannot becontrolled after fuel flow is reintroduced,the overspeed limiting feature will controlthe overspeed between the activationpoint of 110 ±1% NG and the deactivationpoint of 107 ±1% NG. If this occurs,attempt to control engine and rotorspeed with throttle and collective. Referto the ENGINE OVERSPEED procedure inthe BHT-407-FM-1.

• OVERSPEED SYSTEM SHUTDOWN TEST

Functionality of the overspeed system ischecked during FADEC power up andthereafter continuously by the ECU.Operation of the overspeed solenoid ischecked periodically by the pilot throughthe use of the OVERSPEED SHUTDOWNtest procedure.

The OVERSPEED SHUTDOWN testprocedure will shut down the engine onlyif collective pitch is below 10%, throttleposition is at idle, NG is between 60 to66% and NP is less than 75%. TheOVERSPEED test but ton must bepressed and held for a minimum of 1.0second but not more than 10.0 seconds.Once the test button is released, theOVERSPEED test is completed asfollows. The FADEC ECU signals theoverspeed solenoid valve to close andthe ENGINE OVSPD light to come on.Once the FADEC ECU senses an NGdecrease greate r than 0 .5%, theoverspeed solenoid valve is opened, theENGINE OVSPD light goes off, and theengine is shut down by FADEC ECUactivation of the hot start abort feature.

If the overspeed test is unsuccessful, theengine will continue to operate at idlepower, the FADEC FAULT caution lightwill illuminate, and a normal shutdownprocedure must be carried out.

1-12-O. ENGINE SHUTDOWN

Pilot control of engine speed from 100% NR/NP to idle in AUTO mode is controlled throughthro t t le movement . As the thro t t le ispositioned from the detented FLY position toidle, electrical signals are sent to the ECUfrom the HMU – PLA potentiometer. Thesesignals dictate the amount of authority theECU has to control maximum fuel flow (NGlimiting), and in turn, engine speed. Therefore,as throttle is decreased, the maximum fuelflow that can be delivered to the engine isreduced by positioning the fuel meteringvalve to control engine NG speed/power.

In the unlikely event that a system faultoccurs which does not allow a reduction inengine speed by positioning the throttle toidle, complete the 2 minute cool-down at100% flat pitch. After the 2 minute cool-down,the engine is to be shutdown by rolling thethrottle to the CLOSED position.

Pilot control of engine speed from 100% NR/NP to NG idle in MANUAL mode is controlledhydromechanica l ly through th rot t lemovement. Idle speed in MANUAL mode maynot stabilize at 63 ±1% NG. If this occurs,maintain idle speed at 63 ±1% NG with throttle.

Following the appropriate cool down period atidle, the engine may be shut down in eitherthe AUTO or MANUAL mode by positioningthe throttle to cutoff. This will close themechanical fuel shutoff valve within the HMU.

Do not reposition the throttle out of cutoffunless NG has decayed to zero. If the throttleis positioned out of cutoff prior to the NGspeed decreasing through 9.5%, the FADECIN-FLIGHT restart logic will introduce fuel andactivate the igniter. This can cause a relightand possible over temperature condition(paragraph 1-18).

If relight occurs, the pilot must immediatelyposition the throttle to the closed positionand activate the starter.

Additionally, the pilot must also allow NG todecay to 0% in AUTO mode pr ior topositioning the battery switch to OFF. If thisprocedure is not followed, the MANUAL modepistons may move hydromechanically afterelectrical power is removed. This may cause aRESTART FAULT the next time power isapplied to the FADEC ECU and a HMU manualpiston parking procedure will be required perparagraph 1-12-P or as described in theRo l ls -Royce 250-C47B Operat ion andMaintenance Manual.

1-12-P. HMU MANUAL PISTON PARKINGPROCEDURE

Starting with the HMU MANUAL mode pistonsin the wrong position may result in a hot startof the engine. When the pilot is not certain ofthe position of the pistons, or has received aMaintenance Advisory that the pistons are outof position, the following procedure willassure the pistons are in the correct position(fully retracted) for engine starting.

6. Position throttle to cutoff.

7. Pull IGNITER circuit breaker.

8. BATT — ON.

9. Power up check — Complete.

10. FADEC Mode switch — MANUAL.

11. Motor the engine (with throttle incutoff) for 10 seconds.

12. Wait for NG to decay to 0%.

13. FADEC Mode switch — AUTO.

14. Motor the engine (with throttle incutoff) for an additional 10 seconds.

15. Wait for NG to decay to 0%.

16. BATT — OFF.

17. Push in IGNITER circuit breaker.

1-12-Q. CATEGORY 5 — MAINTENANCEADVISORY, FADEC SYSTEMFAULTS — ENGINE SHUTDOWN

Maintenance Advisory Faults are thosedetected by the ECU that are consideredminor in nature and are not communicated tothe cockpit with the engine operating. TheFADEC DEGRADED light serves as themaintenance advisory light. This light will beilluminated, upon engine shutdown, if anyfault or exceedance has been detected duringthe last engine run or if a current fault exists.This will indicate that maintenance action isrequired prior to the next flight.

Maintenance advisory faults will displayduring shutdown when the throttle is placedin the CLOSED position and the NG speeddecays below 9.5%. If the pilot misses themaintenance advisory on shutdown, it willilluminate at the next application of electricalpower.

1-12-R. CHECKING FADEC FAULTCODES

As stated previously, faults can be displayedimmediately via a FADEC FAIL, FADECMANUAL, FADEC DEGRADED, FADEC FAULT,RESTART FAULT or by a combinat ionof these lights. Maintenance Advisory faultswill be displayed on shutdown via the FADECDEGRADED light. In addition, faults are alsoused to identify exceedances.

Regardless if the fault light(s) were displayedin-flight or at shutdown, maintenance actionis required prior to further flight. Refer to theBHT-407-MM-9, Chapter 76 and Rolls-Royce250-C47B Operation and Maintenance Manual.

The preferred method of determining FADECfaults or exceedances is with the GoodrichEMC-35A Main tenance Termina l . TheEMC-35A Maintenance Terminal (Windowsversion) is capable of providing informationon Current Faults, Last Engine Run Faults,

Accumulated Faults (Fault History screen),and NP overspeed exceedance information(Engine H is tory screen) . Refer to theGoodrich Maintenance Terminal User Guidefor operating instructions.

If a maintenance terminal is not available,identify faults or exceedances using theMaintenance Mode feature of the FADECsystem. This feature allows operators todetermine faults through a sequence offlashing light displays on the cockpit cautionpanel (paragraph 1-12-R-1).

1-12-R-1. ENGINE RUN FAULT CODES —PROCEDURE FOR VIEWING

The caution panel fault display may beoperated as follows:

NOTE

Displayed faults may be LASTENGINE RUN or CURRENT faults.Following this procedure, refer toparagraph 1-12-R-2 to determine iffaults are current.

1. Engine must be shut down and theFADEC MODE switch positioned toMANUAL. Place the collective fulldown (below 10%) and the throttle inthe cutoff position.

NOTE

If the throttle or collective is movedduring the above procedure or theFADEC MODE switch is positioned toAUTO, the FADEC ECU will exit thefault code reporting mode.

2. Depress and release the FADEC ECUmaintenance button on the left handside of the lower pedestal to enter thefault code reporting mode.

3. FADEC DEGRADED, FADEC FAULT,and the RESTART FAULT lights willsimultaneously flash five times to

Page 618: Bell 407 - Flight Manual

BHT-407-MD-1 MANUFACTURER’S DATA

1-48———Rev. 2—31 JAN 2007

indicate that maintenance mode hasbeen entered by the ECU.

4. Depress and release the FADEC ECUmaintenance button. If a fault ispresent, it will be displayed by aspecified number of FADECDEGRADED caution panel lightsegment flashes.

5. Depress and release the FADEC/ECUmaintenance button to flash the nextfault code.

6. Steady illumination of the FADECDEGRADED caution panel lightsegment indicates that no otherfaults exist for this light.

7. Continue to depress and release theFADEC/ECU maintenance button tostep through the FADEC FAULT andRESTART FAULT caution panel lightsegments, as above. This willdetermine if fault codes exist forthese segments.

8. If no fault code exists for the selectedcaution panel segment, the cautionlight will illuminate continuouslywhen the FADEC/ECU maintenancebutton is released.

9. When interrogation is complete, thenext push of the FADECmaintenance button will cause theFADEC DEGRADED, FADEC FAULT,and RESTART FAULT caution lightsegments to flash simultaneouslyfive times and then extinguish. Thisindicates that the FADEC ECU hasexited the maintenance mode.

NOTE

Refe r to Tab le 1 -2 for FADECSoftware Version 5.202 and Table 1-3for FADEC Software Version 5.356

(Reversionary Governor) Fault CodeDisplays.

10. To determine fault description andmaintenance message code(s) fromcaution panel flashing display, referto Table 1-2 or Table 1-3.

1-12-R-2. FADEC FAULT CODES —PROCEDURE TO DETERMINELAST ENGINE RUN FAULTSFROM CURRENT FAULTS

The procedure to determine if the fault codesdisplayed are LAST ENGINE RUN faults orCURRENT faults may be accomplished byperforming the steps listed in paragraph1-12-R-1 with the throttle in the IDLE position.

With the throttle positioned to IDLE, anyFADEC fault code which is displayed will be acurrent fault.

In addition, if no FADEC related lights aredisplayed on the caution, warning, advisorypanel with electrical power applied, theFADEC in AUTO mode, and the throttlepositioned to idle, no current faults exist.

1-12-R-3. FAULT CODE CHARTS — USE OF

If fault codes have been displayed via thecaution panel, refer to Table 1-2 or Table 1-3for specific information. This information canbe used in conjunct ion w i th theBHT-407-MM-9 , Chapte r 76 and theRolls-Royce Operation and MaintenanceManual 250-C47B. These publications containthe data to determine the maintenance actionrequired prior to further flight.

For specific fault information displayed on theEMC-35A Maintenance Terminal, refer to theRo l ls -Royce 250-C47B Operat ion andMaintenance Manual to determine themaintenance action required prior to furtherflight.

1-12-T. FADEC TRAINING IN MANUALMODE

Prior to actual flight training in the MANUALmode, an operational understanding of theFADEC system along with a sound knowledgeof emergency procedures is required. It isrecommended that t ra in ing be f i rs taccomplished in the helicopter in a cockpitprocedural environment (engine not running)(paragraph 1-12-U). This can provide a visualsimulation of the horn and lights associatedwith a FADEC failure direct to MANUAL modeand familiarize the pilot with the requiredcockpit actions. This should be followed by atakeoff/hover/circuit and landing in MANUALmode which will allow the pilot to becomefamiliar with the required manipulation of thethrottle and controls (paragraph 1-12-V).

Once the pilot is comfortable with flight inMANUAL mode, simulated FADEC failureemergency procedures can be carried out inflight (paragraph 1-12-W).

1-12-U. COCKPIT PROCEDURALTRAINING ON GROUND (ENGINENOT RUNNING)

1. Pull START and IGNTR circuitbreakers and ensure fuel valveswitch is positioned to OFF.

2. Connect external power source.

3. Allow instruments and FADEC tocomplete self test with FADEC MODEswitch in AUTO.

4. Position throttle to FLY detent andcollective to approximate cruiseflight setting.

5. Simulate FADEC FAILURE by pullingFADEC circuit breaker. This willsimulate a failure direct to MANUALmode. FADEC FAIL warning horn willactivate along with illumination ofthe FADEC FAIL and FADECMANUAL caution panel lights.FADEC MODE switch will illuminateMAN.

6. Carry out the appropriateBHT-407-FM-1 emergency responseprocedure. (Depressing the FADECMODE switch will silence the horn.)

7. Push in FADEC circuit breaker andset FADEC MODE switch to AUTO.

8. Repeat procedure until it isunderstood.

9. Disconnect external power source,position throttle to cutoff and push inSTART and IGNTR circuit breakers.

1-12-V. FLIGHT TRAINING IN MANUALMODE

In MANUAL mode, the following is applicable:

• Switching to MANUAL mode at IDLE(63 ±1% NG) may result in change inNG.

• Igniter operates continuously.

Page 627: Bell 407 - Flight Manual

MANUFACTURER’S DATA BHT-407-MD-1

31 JAN 2007—Rev. 2———1-57

• AUTO RELIGHT, FADEC MANUALcaution panel lights illuminate.

• FADEC MODE switch indicates MAN.

• FADEC ECU remains operational.However, surge protection andavoidance logic is not available. In theevent of a FADEC FAILURE whiletraining in MANUAL mode, the FADECFAIL warning light will illuminate.FADEC FAIL horn will not sound.Remain in MANUAL mode and land assoon as practical.

• Maximum Continuous Power isavailable for all ambient conditions.Takeoff Power may not be available.

1. Perform START procedure andSYSTEMS CHECKS in AUTO mode.

2. At idle (63 ±1% NG), depress FADECMODE switch to transition toMANUAL mode.

NOTE

Transition back to AUTO mode canbe made at any time by depressingFADEC MODE switch to AUTO. Uponselecting AUTO mode, an enginepower transient may be experiencedas the FADEC ECU matches enginepower to rotor load. Ensure throttle ispositioned to FLY detent positionfollowing selection of AUTO mode.

3. Manipulate throttle on ground tobecome familiar with MANUALcontrol.

4. Increase throttle to maintain 95 to100% NR/NP. Manipulate throttle/collective and lift into hover.

5. When comfortable with manipulationof throttle and flight controls in

hover, transition into forward flightand conduct circuits to touchdown.

1-12-W. SIMULATED FADEC FAILURETRAINING (IN-FLIGHT)

When comfortable with flying circuits to touchdown in MANUAL mode, transitions betweenAUTO and MANUAL may be conducted inflight.

Simulation can be accomplished by activatingthe FADEC FAIL horn by pushing the FADECFAIL horn test button. Although the applicableFADEC caution panel l ights cannot beactivated, the pilot should respond to theFADEC FAIL horn and carry ou t theBHT-407-FM-1 emergency responseprocedure. Once the throttle bezel position ismatched to the actual NG indication, pilotshall position the FADEC MODE switch toMANUAL.

Following simulated FADEC FAILURE trainingin flight, ensure FADEC MODE switch ispositioned to AUTO prior to shutdown. Thiswill ensure the manual pistons in the HMU areparked, and a subsequent start in AUTO canbe carried out without maintenance action.

The bypass valves for both the fuel andscavenge lube filters allow flow to go into abypass condition if excessive differentialpressure occurs across the filter elements.The differential pressure indicators provide avisual signal when differential pressureacross e i ther e lement exceeds apredetermined value indicating that theelement is dirty and requires replacement.Both indicators are reset manually followingreplacement.

The fuel bypass valve works in conjunctionwith an impending bypass indicator. Whendifferential pressure across the fuel filter risesto a pressure slightly less than the pressureat which the bypass valve actually cracks, ared button extends, signalling that a bypass isabout to occur. The indicator actuates at 2.1to 2.9 PSI and the bypass valve cracks at 3.4PSI minimum. The bypass valve seats whenthe pressure drops to 3.0 PSI. The fuel filterimpending bypass indicator is located on thelower outboard side of the manifold assembly.

The scavenge lube filter bypass indicatorvisual ly s ignals an impending bypasscondition by extending a red button when thedifferential pressure across the filter isbetween 8.8 to 10.8 PSI. The lube bypassindicator assembly is equipped with a thermallockout for temperatures below 43°C ±17°C(110°F ±15°F). The lube indicator assembly ismounted at the bottom (aft end) of the lubebowl.

If the fuel impending bypass indicator or lubefilter bypass indicator extends, ensureappropriate Rolls-Royce engine maintenanceprocedures are carried out prior to furtherflight.

1-14. POWER PLANT IGNITIONSYSTEM

The ignition system consists of a harness, asolid-state low tension capacitor dischargeignition exciter, a spark igniter lead, and ashunted sur face-gap spark ign i ter(Figure 1-13).

The ignition system transfers energy to thecombustible fuel mixture. Energy is providedin the fo rm of h igh tempera tu re -h ighamperage arcs at the spark igniter gaps.These arcs ignite the fuel/air mixture. Theignition exciter is only required during thestarting cycle since the combustion processis continuous. Once ignition takes place, theflame in the combustion liner acts as theignition agent for the fuel/air mixture.

Dur ing FADEC manua l opera t ion , theautomatic auto relight circuit is deactivatedand the igniter is turned on at all times at gasproducer (NG) speeds above 55% to reducethe possibility of engine flameout.

1-15. POWER PLANTTEMPERATUREMEASUREMENT SYSTEM

The temperature measurement systemconsists of four chromel-alumel singlejunction thermocouples in the gas producerturbine outlet and an associated integralharness . The vo l tages o f the fourthermocouples are electrically averaged inthe assembly. The harness terminates at aterminal block on the aft side of the horizontalfire shield. The engine electrical harness, thehelicopter MGT indicator wiring, and theFADEC MGT input wiring, all connect to thisterminal block (Figure 1-13).

1-16. POWER PLANTCOMPRESSOR BLEED AIRSYSTEM

The compressor bleed air system permitsrapid engine response. The system consistsof a bleed control valve located on the frontface of the scroll and an inducer bleedmani fo ld which encases the s lo t tedcompressor shroud housing.

The bleed control valve is open duringstarting and ground idle operation, andremains open until a predetermined pressureratio is obtained. At the predetermined

Page 631: Bell 407 - Flight Manual

MANUFACTURER’S DATA BHT-407-MD-1

31 JAN 2007—Rev. 2———1-61

pressure ratio, the valve begins to modulatefrom the open to the closed position.

The inducer b leed d ischarges a i r toatmosphere at engine idle speed. At higherpower settings, flow changes from bleed tointake air.

1-17. ENGINE OIL SYSTEM

The engine incorporates a dry sump oilsystem (Figure 1-14) with an externallymounted supply tank and oil cooler locatedon the top aft section of the fuselage andenclosed by the aft fairing. Oil is suppliedfrom the tank to gear type pressure andscavenge pumps mounted within the engineaccessory drive gearbox. A spur gear type oilpump assembly, consisting of one pressureelement and four scavenge elements ismounted within.

The oil filter assembly, consisting of an oilfi lter, fi l ter bypass valve, and pressureregulating valve, is located in the top left-handside of the gearbox (Figure 1-13). A checkvalve, located between the filter package andthe accessory gearbox, prevents oil fromdraining into the engine from the helicoptertank when the engine is not in operation.

Additional scavenge lube filtration is providedwithin the combined engine filter assembly(CEFA) (paragraph 1-13).

Indicating type magnetic chip detectors areinstalled at the bottom of the gearbox and atthe engine oil outlet connection. All engine oilsystem lines and connections are internalexcept the pressure and scavenge lines to thefront compressor bearing and to the bearingsin the gas producer and power turbinesupports.

The system is designed to furnish adequatelubrication, scavenging, and cooling asneeded to the bearings, splines, and gearsregardless of the helicopter attitude oraltitude. Jet lubrication is provided to all

compressor, gas producer turbine, and powerturbine rotor bearings, and to the bearingsand gear meshes of the power turbine geartrain with the exception of the power outputshaft bearings. The power output shaftbearings and all other gears and bearings arelubricated by oil mist.

NOTE

If helicopter engine has been shutdown for more than 15 minutes,scavenge oil could have drained intogearbox. Dry motor run engine for 30seconds before checking oil level. Ifnot accomplished, a false highengine o i l consumpt ion ra teindication or overfilling of oil tankcould result.

The approximate capacity of the engine oiltank is 1.5 US gallons, and the oil level ischecked by means of a sight gauge mountedon the left side of the tank. Viewing access tothe sight gauge is provided by a cutout in thecowling. The oil cooler is mounted on top ofthe duct on the oil cooler blower.

1-18. ENGINE AUTO RELIGHT

• AUTO MODE — AUTO RELIGHT

In AUTO mode, the FADEC is capable ofdetecting an engine flameout by measuringan NG deceleration rate greater than thepredetermined flameout boundary rate. If aflameout is detected, the ENGINE OUTwarning light and horn will be activated by theFADEC ECU. Without pilot action, the autorelight sequence is initiated, a fuel flow rate isestablished and the ignit ion system isactivated. If a relight is achieved, FADEC willcontrol the MGT and accelerate the engineback to i ts commanded operation. TheENGINE OUT light and warning horn will turnoff after a minimum NDOT (NG accelerationspeed) or increasing MGT is established.

The automatic auto relight sequence willinitiate from detection of flameout until the NGspeed decays to 50%. Once the NG decaysbelow 50%, the FADEC will no longer attemptto relight the engine. In the event of anunsuccessful relight refer to BHT-407-FM-1,Section 3.

• MANUAL MODE

In MANUAL mode, the FADEC controlled autorelight circuit is disabled. Because of this, theignition system has been designed to operatecontinuously in MANUAL mode, at engine gasproducer (NG) speeds of 55% or greater toreduce the possibility of flameout.

When the FADEC system is in MANUAL mode,the NG gauge operates as a trigger device forthe engine out horn and light when NG dropsbelow 55%. In the event of a power loss to theNG indicator while operating in MANUALmode , the fa i lure mode w i l l p rov idecontinuous ignition regardless of NG speed,but the ENGINE OUT light and horn will not beactivated when NG drops below 55%.

• AUTO MODE — PILOT ASSISTED IN-FLIGHT RESTART

In addition to the above mentioned EngineRelight features, the FADEC system alsoincorporates specific relight logic, for engineout conditions, when the NG speed is between9.5% and 50%. Pilot action is required toinitiate an in-flight restart at NG speeds below50%.

When appropriate BHT-407-FM-1 proceduresare followed, the in-flight restart logic willintroduce fuel scheduling based on theexisting NG speed. Should a relight beachieved, the FADEC will accelerate theengine to an idle speed of 63% NG. As thepriority of the in-flight relight logic is to helpachieve an engine start in an emergencycondition, the hot start abort function isdisabled.

Therefore, to help reduce the possibility of anover temperature condition from occurring,

BHT-407-FM-1 procedures require that thethrottle be initially positioned to the closedposition and the start switch be positioned toSTART. Once the starter is assisting tomaintain or increase the NG speed, thethrottle can be positioned to IDLE and theFADEC will introduce fuel scheduling. Ignitionwill be provided in conjunction with activationof the starter.

As the in-flight restart logic is designed for NGspeeds between 9.5 and 50% NG, if an in-flightrestart is initiated below 9.5% NG, normal startlogic will be used to introduce fuel based on5.202 or 5.356 software (paragraph 1-12-D).Should a relight occur, the FADEC willaccelerate the engine to idle. In addition, hotstart abort logic will be enabled for startsinitiated at NG speeds below 9.5%.

1-19. AUTO RELIGHT CAUTIONLIGHT

The AUTO RELIGHT light will be ON when theignition system is activated.

1-19-A. START IN AUTO MODE

During start in the AUTO mode, the ignitionsystem is activated via the engine ignitercircuit breaker and the start circuit until theNG speed reaches 50 ±1%. Above this speed,the FADEC carries out an auto relight test andcontinues activation of the ignition systemuntil a gas producer (NG) speed of 60 ±1%, atwhich time the AUTO RELIGHT light will goOFF.

1-19-B. ENGINE OUT IN AUTO MODE

In the event of an engine out condition duringnormal engine operations with the FADEC inAUTO mode, the ignition system is activatedby the FADEC. This will occur when an engineout condition is detected and the engine isrestarted or until the gas producer (NG) speeddecays to 50%. The ENGINE OUT warninglight and horn and the AUTO RELIGHTadvisory light will be on at all times underthese conditions.

1-64———Rev. 2—31 JAN 2007

1-19-C. START AND CONTINUOUSOPERATION IN MANUAL MODE

During a start in MANUAL mode, the ignitionsystem will be activated when the starterswitch is positioned and held in START.Fol lowing the engine start and dur ingcontinuous operation at gas producer (NG)speeds above 55%, the ignition system willoperate continuously. The AUTO RELIGHTlight will be on at all times under theseconditions.

1-20. ENGINE ANTI ICE SWITCH

The ENG ANTI ICE switch, located in theoverhead console, controls the engineanti-ice bleed air solenoid valve. The engineanti-ice system will be activated when theENG ANTI ICE switch is positioned to ENGANTI ICE. This de-energizes the engineanti-ice bleed air solenoid valve allowing hotdiffuser scroll air to flow from the engineanti-icing air valve to the engine compressorfront support guide vanes and prevent theformation of ice. In the event of a totalelectrical system failure, the anti-ice systemwill fail safe to ON and provide continuousanti-icing.

When the ENG ANTI ICE switch is positionedto OFF, bus voltage is provided to the engineanti-ice bleed air solenoid valve from theengine anti-ice circuit breaker. This energizesthe engine anti-ice bleed air solenoid valveand prevents the flow of hot air from theengine anti - ice air valve to the enginecompressor front support guide vanes.

On helicopters incorporating an ENGINE ANTIICE caution panel annunciator, an engineanti-ice pressure switch is used to controlactivation of the annunciator. Engine anti-icepressure switch act ivat ion occurs onincreasing pressure at 5.5 ±.5 PSI (37.9 ±3.4kPa), which allows the ENGINE ANTI ICEannunciator to illuminate. Engine anti-icepressure switch deactivation occurs ondecreasing pressure prior to 3.0 PSI (20.68

kPa), which turns OFF the ENGINE ANTI ICEannunciator.

1-21. ENGINE INDICATORS

Engine indicators include a TORQUE, NG,MGT, NR/NP, engine oil temperature andpressure gauge, ENGINE OUT warning light,and horn, ENGINE OVSPD light, and ENGINECHIP light.

1-21-A. TORQUE GAUGE

The engine torque meter pressure sensingport outputs a specific oil pressure for aspecific engine torque. This oil pressure isfed to bo th the FADEC and a i r f rametransducers . The FADEC t ransducerinformation provides input to the ECU for theoperation of the FADEC system. The airframetransducer provides a signal to the torquegauge.

1-21-A-1. TORQUE GAUGE — RANGEMARKING

The 100% maximum on the torque gaugerepresents 560 foot-pounds (674 shafthorsepower at 100% NP) at the engine outputshaft.

This output is divided on the helicopterbetween the tail rotor drive system, the mainrotor drive system, accessory requirementsand gearbox losses.

The 93.5% on the torque gauge represents524 foot-pounds (630 shaft horsepower at100% NP). This is the maximum limit allowedon a continuous basis on the engine gearbox.The 5 minute l imit between 93.5% (524foot-pounds) and 100% (560 foot-pounds)represents a 5-minute limit on the enginegearbox in this range of power.

Any torque exceedance value recorded by theindicator represents the straight torque seenby both the engine gearbox and the maintransmission. In the event of a recordedtorque exceedance, reference to both theBHT-407-MM and Rolls Royce 250-C47B

Operat ion and Maintenance Manual isrequired to ensure appropriate inspectionsare carried out.

NOTE

Litton instrument torque does notequal FADEC ECU torque for thesame input oil pressure. This is dueto the fact that the Litton torqueinstrument and the FADEC ECU useseparate torque transducers to arriveat their respective indicated torques(i.e. engine limit = 590 foot-pounds/710 HP and transmission limit = 560foot-pounds/674 HP). To convertfrom Litton instrument% torque toFADEC ECU% torque, divide Littoninstrument% torque by 1.0535. Toconvert FADEC ECU% torque tofoot-pounds, multiply FADEC ECU%torque by 5.9. To convert fromFADEC ECU% torque to Lit toninstrument torque, multiply FADECECU% torque by 1.0535.

1-21-A-2. ENGINE TORQUE EXCEEDANCE

The torque gauge microprocessor is preprogrammed with specific torque values(Table 1-4).

There is a torque limitation of 5 minutesbetween 93.5% and 100%. To give the pilotnotice that he is approaching the end of the 5minute limit, the Trend ARC of indicator willflash and CHECK INSTR light will come onwhen 30 seconds remain in the 5 minute timeperiod.

There is a redline at 100% representing themaximum torque allowed. When the pilotexceeds 100%, the indicator Trend ARC willimmediately begin to flash and CHECK INSTRlight will illuminate.

There is an engine gearbox limit at 105.4%.When the pilot exceeds 100%, the Trend ARCof indicator will already be flashing. However,after 10 seconds at or above 105.4%, theindicator will indicate that an exceedance hasoccurred and wi l l begin to record theexceedance in NVM. At this time, the indicatorTrend ARC will stop flashing.

There is a transmission inspection limit at110%. When the pilot exceeds 100%, theTrend ARC of indicator wil l already beflashing. Any exceedance above 110% willimmediate ly be recorded in NVM. Theindicator Trend ARC will stop flashing after 10seconds above 105.4% as described above.

1-21-B. GAS PRODUCER GAUGE (NG)

The gas producer (NG) gauge displays enginegas producer speed in percent of rated RPM(Table 1-5).

An NG Speed Pickup mounted in the enginegearbox provides two separate signals to theECU. One signal is the primary driver of theNG gauge and is also a secondary signal forthe ECU. The second signal is the primaryinput to the ECU. The primary signal to the

gauge will be passed through the ECU, evenwhen the ECU is not powered.

When the FADEC system is in MANUAL mode,the NG gauge operates as a trigger device forthe ENGINE OUT horn and light when NGdrops below 55%. In the event of a power lossto the NG indicator whi le operat ing inMANUAL mode, the failure mode will providecontinuous ignition regardless of NG speed,but the ENGINE OUT light and horn will not beactivated when NG drops below 55%.

1-21-C. DUAL TACH GAUGE

The Dual Tachometer has two pointers: onethat displays Main Rotor RPM on the outerscale and one that displays engine NP on theinner scale. All scales are in percent of ratedRPM. If Quiet Cruise Mode kit is installed,refer to the BHT-407-FMS-25.

The NP side of the instrument is powered bythe 28 VDC bus through its own circuitbreaker.

An NP Speed Pickup mounted on the engineprovides two separate signals to the ECU.One signal is the primary driver of the NPgauge and also a secondary signal for theECU. The second signal is the primary inputto the ECU. The primary signal to the gaugewill be passed through the ECU, even whenthe ECU is not powered.

The NR side of the gauge is powered by the 28VDC bus through its own circuit breaker.

An N R speed p ickup mounted on thetransmission lower case provides threeseparate identical signal outputs of rotorRPM. One signal is sent to the NR circuit ofthe dual tachometer gauge. One signal is sentto the ECU and the other is sent to the MainRotor RPM sensor switch.

1-21-D. MEASURED GAS TEMPERATUREGAUGE

The measured gas temperature (MGT) gaugedisplays engine gas temperature of airbetween gas producer turbine and powerturbine in degrees Celsius.

The MGT gauge has one set of exceedancelevels for starting and another for normaloperation (Table 1-6 through Table 1-9). Theindicator uses the start exceedance levelswhen the FADEC/START relay is engagedduring normal starts.

The ENGINE CHIP light will il luminate ifmetallic particles in the oil accumulate oneither the engine sump or scavenge chipdetectors. The engine sump chip detector islocated on the lower left side of the enginegearbox and the engine scavenge chipdetector is located on the forward right-handside of the engine gearbox. Both chipdetectors are a quick disconnect design.

1-25. FUEL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The fuel system (Figure 1-15) consists of twocrash resistant, bladder type fuel cells. Theforward fuel cell is located underneath andbetween the aft facing passenger seats. Theaft fuel cell is located underneath and behindthe aft passenger seats.

Both fuel cells are serviced through the fillerport located on the right side of the helicopter.Approximately 28.4 US gallons (193.1 lb) offuel will accumulate in the aft main fuel cell,prior to the forward cell being filled throughthe gravity feed stand pipe. The gravity feedstand pipe connects the aft fuel cell to theforward tank. As the aft fuel cell fills beyondthe level of the top of the stand pipe, theforward tank will be completely filled (forwardtank fuel capacity 37.6 US gallons (256.0 lb).The aft tank will then be filled to the level ofthe filler port (usable fuel capacity 127.8 USgallons (869.0 lb).

If the auxiliary tank is installed, it will be filledat the same time as the aft tank through twoopenings located on the lower aft wall of the

main fuel cell, which are connected to thebot tom of the aux i l ia ry tank ( re fer toBHT-407-FMS-6 for information on this kit).

Fuel from the forward tank is transferred tothe main tank by two transfer pumps mountedon a sump plate assembly located on thebottom of the forward fuel cell. Fuel from themain fuel cell will be supplied to the enginethrough two boost pumps located at the baseof the main fuel cell on a sump plate. The fuelfrom the two boost pumps joins into acommon fuel line that passes through a fuelshutoff valve, then through an airframemounted fuel filter before reaching the enginedriven pump on the HMU. A solenoid sumpdrain valve is installed on the sump plateassemblies of both the forward and aft fueltanks. The drain valves are activated by twoswitches located on the right hand side of thelower aft fuselage. These switches aredeactivated when the fuel valve switch is ONto prevent inadvertent activation during flight.

1-25-A. FUEL SYSTEM OPERATION

With power applied to the helicopter and theFuel XFR/Boost Right and Fuel XFR/BoostLeft circuit breaker switches ON, the twotransfer pumps and the two boost pumps areoperating. Refer to Figure 1-16 for the fueltransfer system schematic.

Each transfer pump sends fuel through aone-way check valve located at the outlet ofeach pump and a common tee fitting througha line which transfers the fuel into the aft tank.Each check valve will assure that if either ofthe transfer pumps becomes inoperative fuelwill be pumped to the aft tank and not throughthe inoperative pump back into the fwd fueltank.

A modified tee fitting incorporating an orificeallows for a specific amount of fuel to bleedback into the forward tank to reduce thetransfer rate.

Each boost pump sends fuel through aone-way check valve located at the outlet ofeach pump and a common tee fitting. It thenflows through a common line to a fittinglocated at the top right side of the main fuelcell. The line leaves the fuel cell and passesthrough the fuel shut off valve. A pressuretransducer (located between the main fuel cellfitting and the fuel shut off valve) supplies theelectrical signal to the instrument panelmounted fuel pressure gauge.

During normal operation, fuel will first beused from the aft fuel cell until its level isequivalent to the top of the forward tank. Atthis time, the aft cell and forward cell will beused equally down to the level of the top ofthe gravity feed stand pipe. At this point, allfuel will be used from the forward tank.Finally, after the forward tank is empty, theremaining fuel in the aft tank will be used.

Refer to paragraph 1-25-P-2 for operationalinformation of the L/FUEL XFR and R/FUELXFR LIGHTS and paragraph 1-25-R forinformation on the FUEL LOW LIGHT.

1-25-B. LEFT FUEL BOOST/XFRALTERNATE ELECTRICALCIRCUIT

In the event that a short circuit or battery hotcondition occurs in the helicopter and all DCbus power is shut off, it is desirable tomaintain the operation of one transfer pumpand one boost pump.

The BATT switch configures the DC powerfeed to the left fuel boost pump and the leftfuel transfer pump between the DC bus andthe helicopter battery (Figure 1-17).

In the event the battery switch is positioned toOFF dur ing he l icopter operat ions , analternate circuit is provided to allow operationof the left fuel transfer and left fuel boostpumps. During this condition, with the fuelvalve switch positioned to ON, battery voltage

is supplied through the FUEL BOOST/XFRbackup circuit breaker, the fuel valve switch,the battery switch, and the left fuel XFR/boostcircuit breaker switch to the left fuel transferand left fuel boost pumps.

1-25-C. FUEL SYSTEM CONTROLS

Fuel system controls are located on theinstrument panel, overhead console, and aftlower right fuselage. The controls consist of aFUEL VALVE switch, a FUEL BOOST/XFRLEFT switch, a FUEL BOOST/XFR RIGHTswitch, and two FUEL CELL DRAIN switches.

1-25-D. FUEL VALVE SWITCH

The FUEL VALVE switch is located on thelower right side of the instrument panel. It is aguarded two position toggle switch thatprovides a means of shutting off the flow offuel to the engine.

The fuel shutoff valve is a motorized gatevalve which must be driven to either the openor closed position. When activated by theFUEL VALVE switch, the shutoff valve motorwill rotate in the appropriate direction toOPEN or CLOSE the gate valve. The FUELVALVE light will momentarily illuminateduring valve transit.

1-25-E. LEFT AND RIGHT FUEL BOOST/XFR SWITCH

The left and right FUEL BOOST/XFR switches(Figure 1-16) are a circuit breaker toggledesign and located on the overhead console.Each switch controls the operation of itsrespective boost pump located in the mainfuel tank and transfer pump in the forwardfuel tank. In addition to the left and rightFUEL/XFR switches, separate electricalcircuits within the fuel signal conditioner areused to control the operation of the left andright fuel transfer pumps as the forward fueltank is emptied.

Page 644: Bell 407 - Flight Manual

BHT-407-MD-1 MANUFACTURER’S DATA

1-74———Rev. 2—31 JAN 2007

The LEFT FUEL/XFR switch is outlined by ayellow border (Figure 1-5) to identify that ithas an alternate circuit (Figure 1-17). In theevent the BATT switch is positioned to OFFduring helicopter operations, an alternatecircuit is also provided to allow operation ofthe left fuel transfer and left fuel boost pumps.During this condition, with the FUEL VALVEswitch positioned to ON, battery voltage issupplied through the FUEL BOOST/XFRBACKUP circuit breaker (located on the leftside of the instrument pedestal above the chinbubble), the FUEL VALVE switch, the BATTSWITCH, and the LEFT FUEL BOOST/XFRcircuit breaker switch to the left fuel transferand left fuel boost pumps. Therefore, in thissituation the LEFT BOOST pump will continueto run. The LEFT XFR pump will continue torun as long as the fuel signal conditionerdetermines that there is fuel in the forwardtank.

1-25-F. FUEL CELL DRAIN SWITCHES

The FUEL CELL DRAIN switches provide ameans of draining fuel from both the forwardand aft fuel cells individually. The switchesare a momentary push button design made upof an outer environmental seal and an innerswitch assembly. They are mounted side byside on the lower right side of the aft fuselage,below and aft of the fuel filler port.

The FUEL VALVE switch must be in the OFFposition to operate either of the fuel cell drainvalves. This prevents inadvertent operation ofthe fuel cell drains during flight.

With helicopter electrical power provided andthe FUEL VALVE switch positioned to OFF,pressing the FUEL CELL DRAIN switches willOPEN the respective drain valves allowingfuel to be drained from the forward and mainfuel cells.

1-25-G. FUEL SYSTEM INDICATORS

Fuel system indicators consist of a fuelquantity indicator, fuel pressure indicator,FUEL VALVE light, L/FUEL BOOST light, R/FUEL BOOST light, L/FUEL XFR light, R/FUEL XFR light, FUEL FILTER light, and aFUEL LOW light.

1-25-H. FUEL SYSTEM CAPACITY

For fue l system capac i ty re fer to theBHT-407-FM-1, Section 5.

1-25-I. FUEL QUANTITY GAUGINGSYSTEM (FQGS)

The fuel quantity gauging system (FQGS)measures the quantity of fuel in the two mainfuel tanks. The FQGS also measures thequantity of fuel in the auxiliary fuel tank whenit is installed.

The fuel quantity is measured by threecapacitance type probes in the fuel tanks. Thesignals from the probes are used by the fuelsignal conditioner to calculate the fuel weight.The signal conditioner provides a signal tothe fuel quanti ty gauge to display thecalculated fuel weight.

1-25-J. FUEL QUANTITY SIGNALCONDITIONER

The signal conditioner is a separate unit thatis located on the aft electrical equipment shelfnext to the DC controller (Voltage Regulator).

The electronic interface circuits for the fuellow level detection system are located alongwith the fue l gaug ing system s igna lconditioner circuits in the same physical unit.

Both systems are physically and electricallyseparate within the unit. There are three LEDslocated on the a ft s ide o f the s igna lconditioner which are used to display theFQGS status for purposes of troubleshooting.

1-25-K. SIGNAL CONDITIONERBUILT-IN-TEST (BIT)

1-25-K-1. POWER-UP BIT

The signal conditioner receives power fromthe 28 VDC bus through the FUEL QTY INSTRcircuit breaker. The signal conditioner carriesout a power up BIT when the unit is firstprovided power. The power-up BIT must becompleted before the signal conditioner cantake any readings of fuel quantity. The signalconditioner should complete a power-up BITcheck within approximately 4 seconds afterapplication of power. There is no connectionbetween the BIT feature o f the s ignalconditioner and the BIT performed by the fuelquantity gauge.

If a failure is detected during the power-up BITor if an error is found in the probe signalreceived or the power source for the probeinput, the signal conditioner will blank the fuelquantity gauge.

If errors have been detected and the gaugehas been blanked, the signal conditioner willnot turn the gauge back on even if the errorhas been corrected unless the power isturned OFF and ON to the signal conditioner.

In addition, the failures detected will bedisplayed on three LEDs on the back of thesignal conditioner (refer to the BHT-407-MMfor fault explanation).

1-25-K-2. CONTINUOUS BIT

The s igna l cond i t ioner ca r r ies ou t acontinuous BIT whenever it is powered. If afailure is detected during the continuous BITor if an error is found in the probe signalreceived or the power source for the probeinput, the signal conditioner will blank thegauge display.

If errors have been detected and the gaugehas been blanked, the signal conditioner willnot turn the gauge back on even if the error

has been corrected unless the power isturned OFF and ON to the signal conditioner.

In addition, the failures detected will bedisplayed on three LEDs on the back of thesignal conditioner (refer to the BHT-407-MMfor fault explanation).

1-25-L. FUEL QUANTITY CALCULATION

A microprocessor in the signal conditioneruses the information provided by the threefuel probes to compute the weight of the fuelin the following steps.

1. Uses the Main Tank Forward FuelProbe (Probe No. 2) input signal fordensity correction if it is totallyimmersed in fuel or if not, uses adefault density (default density is6.6594 pounds/gallons).

2. Calculates the height of the fuelindicated for each of the three probescorrected for fuel density by usingthe value from step 1.

3. The calculated height on each probeis used to look up a volume of fuel ingallons in a table contained in theNVM of the signal conditioner.

4. The weight of the fuel is thencalculated by multiplying the volumeby the density. A calculation is donefor all three probes to compute thetotal system weight of fuel. Acalculation is also done for only theForward Tank Fuel Probe (ProbeNo. 3).

To ta l system weight in format ion istransmitted from the signal conditioner to thefuel quantity gauge. When the forward fuelquantity switch is pushed, the weight for theforward tank only is transmitted.

1-25-M. FUEL QUANTITY GAUGE

The usable fue l weight ( in pounds) iscalculated by the fuel signal conditioner andis displayed by the gauge.

1-25-N. FUEL QUANTITY BUTTON

The fuel quantity gauge normally indicatesthe total usable fuel in both fuel tanks andauxiliary tank (if installed). Pushing the FUELQTY FWD TANK button will make the fuelquantity gauge display the fuel in the forwardtank only.

1-25-O. FUEL PRESSURE/AMMETERGAUGE

The fuel pressure/ammeter gauge is a dualdisplay gauge. The left side of the instrumentdisplays the pressure output from the two fuelboost pumps in pounds per square inch (PSI).The fuel pressure side of the instrument ispowered by its own circuit breaker. Theinstrument receives its input signal from atransducer mounted between the fuel boostpumps and the fuel shut off valve. Theminimum pressure limit is set to ensure thatsufficient fuel pressure will be supplied to theinput of the engine driven fuel pump.

1-25-P. FUEL VALVE LIGHT

The FUEL VALVE light will illuminate when thefuel shut off valve is in transit or has stoppedsomewhere between the full OPEN or fullCLOSED position.

1-25-P-1. L/FUEL AND R/FUEL BOOSTLIGHTS

The L/FUEL BOOST and R/FUEL BOOSTlights will illuminate when their respectivefuel pressure switch senses a decreasingboost pump output pressure of 1.5 ±0.5 PSI.When boost pump pressure is increasing, thelights will extinguish prior to the pressurepassing through 5 PSI.

1-25-P-2. L/FUEL XFR AND R/FUEL XFRLIGHTS

1-25-P-2-A. S/N 53000 THROUGH 53174

The L/FUEL XFR and R/FUEL XFR lights(Figure 1-16, Sheet 1) will illuminate when

their respective fuel pressure switch senses adecreasing boost pump output pressure of1.5 ±0.5 PSI. When boost pump pressure isincreasing the lights will extinguish prior tothe pressure passing through 5 PSI.

Fuel must be present in the forward fuel cellfor the annunciator circuits to operate sincethey are both controlled by the fuel signalconditioner. When the forward fuel cell isnearing depletion the signal conditioner usestime delays to control the transfer pumps andlights. The time delay allows continuedoperation of the transfer pumps to ensure allof the fuel in the forward tank is transferred tothe main fuel tank. The forward fuel cell will beempty when approximately 193.1 pounds oftotal fuel is indicated.

The fuel signal conditioner time delay whichcontrols the L/FUEL XFR pump circuit isprovided by the FUEL XFR/BOOST LEFTcircuit breaker. The fuel signal conditionertime delay which controls the R/FUEL XFRpump circuit is provided by the FUEL XFR/BOOST RIGHT circuit breaker.

The L/FUEL XFR and R/FUEL XFR lightcircuits will remain operational during thetime delay and will illuminate in the eventtransfer pump output pressure drops below1.5 ±0.5 PSI.

Once the time delay periods are ended, thetransfer pumps and the L/FUEL XFR and R/FUEL XFR light circuits are deactivated. Thetransfer pump and light circuits will stayinoperative as long as the forward fuel cell isempty. Reactivation of the transfer pumpcircuits will occur when approximately 18pounds of fuel enters the forward fuel cell. Asthe forward fuel cell is empty at approximately193.1 pounds of fuel, if the helicopter is shutdown at, or being refueled to between 193.1and approximately 211.1 pounds of total fuel,it is possible that up to 18 pounds of fuel mayremain in the forward fuel cell as unusable.

1-25-P-2-B. S/N 53175 AND SUBSEQUENT

Activation of either annunciator circuit isdependent on the relationship between thefuel quantity in the forward fuel tank and thetotal quantity of the fuel system.

The L/FUEL XFR or R/FUEL XFR transfer light(Figure 1-16, Sheet 2) will illuminate whentheir respective fuel pressure switch senses adecreasing boost pump pressure of 1.5 ±0.5PSI, provided the condit ions shown inTable 1-10 (Transfer Light Activation Table)are met:

With a L/FUEL XFR or R/FUEL XFR pumppressure of 5 PSI or greater, the respectiveleft and right fuel pressure switches will openand cause the L/FUEL XFR or R/FUEL XFRlights to go off.

When the fuel signal conditioner detects aforward fuel tank quantity of less than 25pounds and a total fuel system quantity ofless than 250 pounds, for 10 consecutiveseconds, L/FUEL XFR or R/FUEL XFR transferl ights wi l l be deac t ivated to p reventin termit tent l ight f l icker ing whi le theremaining fuel is transferred from the forwardfuel tank to the aft fuel tank.

When forward fuel tank depletion is detectedby the number 3 fuel probe and the low leveldetector, the input signals to the fuel signalconditioner are removed. With the inputsignals removed, the fuel signal conditionerutilizes two 360 second time delays prior toremoving the ground to the right and lefttransfer pump relays. This allows the rightand left transfer pumps to continue runningfor 360 seconds to ensure all the fuel in the

forward tank is transferred to the main fueltank. The forward fuel cell will be empty whenapproximately 193.1 pounds of total fuel isindicated.

The annunciator and transfer pump circuitswill stay inoperative until the fuel system isrefueled with an appropriate amount of fuel toreactivate the system. Reactivation of thetransfer pump circuits will occur whenapproximately 18 pounds of fuel enters theforward fuel cell. As the forward fuel cell isempty at approximately 193.1 pounds of fuel,if the helicopter is shut down at, or beingrefueled to between 193.1 and approximately211.1 pounds of total fuel, it is possible thatup to 18 pounds of fuel may remain in theforward fuel cell as unusable.

1-25-R. FUEL LOW LIGHT

The FUEL LOW light circuit is designed toalert the pilot that the main fuel tank quantityis low. I l luminat ion w i l l occur whenapproximately 100 ±10 pounds of usable fuelremains in the main fuel cell.

A float type low level switch is used to detectthe fuel low condition. The input from the lowlevel detector is passed through the fuelsignal conditioner which provides a 13 ±3second time delay to reduce the possibility ofintermittent annunciator flickering due to fuelsloshing.

In addition, momentary activation (less than 2seconds) of the FUEL LOW light may bev is ib le when power is app l ied to thehelicopter and fuel quantity is greater than therequired low level activation point. This is anormal occurrence and is a function of fuelsignal conditioner power up logic.

1-26. RETIREMENT INDEX NUMBER(RIN)

Each component with a ret irement l i fesensitive to "TORQUE EVENTS" will beassigned a maximum RETIREMENT INDEXNUMBER (RIN). This RIN corresponds to themaximum allowed fatigue damage resultingfrom lifts and takeoffs. A new component willbegin with an accumulated RIN of zero thatwill be increased as lifts and takeoffs areperformed. The operator will record thenumber of lifts and takeoffs and increase theaccumulated RIN accordingly. When themaximum RIN is reached, the component willbe removed f rom serv ice . Cer ta incomponents may be assigned a life in hoursin addition to the RIN.

Pilots are to record “TORQUE EVENTS” foreach flight. Maintenance personnel will

conver t the “TORQUE EVENTS” in to“RETIREMENT INDEX NUMBERS” (RIN) totrack the lives of all required components.

A "TORQUE EVENT" is defined as a takeoff(one takeoff plus the subsequent landing =one RIN) or a lift (internal or external). Forexample, if an operator performs six takeoffsand ten sling loads, this would total 16 torqueevents: (6 takeoffs = 6 events, 10 sling loads =10 events, 6 + 10 = 16 events total).

1-27. TRANSMISSION

The t ransmiss ion and mast assembly(Figure 1-18) transfers the engine torque tothe main rotor system with a two stage gearreduction of 15.29 to 1.0 (6317 to 413 RPM).

The transmission assembly is made up of atop support case and lower case whichcontains an input pinion and bevel geararrangement, a planetary gear train, and anaccessory gear drive. The components thatare attached to the transmission and mastassembly are the engine to transmissiondr iveshaft , t ransmiss ion o i l pump,transmission oil filter housing, hydraulicpump, rotor RPM monopole pickup, and twoelectric chip detectors.

The transmission assembly is attached to theroof of the helicopter, forward of the engineby a pylon installation. The pylon installationuses two side beams, four elastomeric cornermounts, and two for/aft restraint springs.

1-27-A. FREEWHEEL ASSEMBLY

The freewheel unit (Figure 1-18) is mountedon the engine gearbox, and is driven underpower from the engine power takeoff gearshaft. Engine power is transmitted to theouter race of the freewheel unit, then throughthe engaged sprag clutch which drives thefreewheel inner shaft and couples the engineto the transmission input drive shaft.

1-27-B. TRANSMISSION OIL SYSTEM

The transmission oil system (Figure 1-19)lubricates the transmission, mast, andfreewheel assemblies. An oil level sight gaugeis located on the right side of the transmissionlower case and may be viewed through acutout in the air induction cowling. A non-vented filler cap is located on the right side ofthe top case to fill the transmission oil system.

The transmission accessory gear drives theoil pump which delivers 6.0 to 6.7 GPM. Thepressure is controlled by a pressure regulatorvalve which is set at approximately 52 PSI. Thepump scavenges oil from the lower case sumpthrough a wire screen and the lower chipdetector. It is then directed to the transmissionmounted oil manifold and the filter element.

To ensure oil flow is not restricted, the filterincorporates an impending bypass indicatorbutton on the end of the filter housing whichwill extend at 14 ±2 PSI. Ensure appropriatemaintenance actions are carried out followingan impending bypass indication in accordancewith the BHT-407-MM. Additionally, a filterbypass valve will open if the differentialpressure reaches 17 PSI and if the differentialpressure reaches 29.6 to 38.6 PSI, a highpressure relief valve will open and the oil willtotally bypass the filter.

The transmission mounted oil manifold alsoincorporates a thermostatic valve which

controls the flow of oil to the oil cooler. At oiltemperatures below 150°F (66°C), the oilcooler is bypassed and the oil is directed backto the transmission. As the oil temperatureincreases above 150°F (66°C) oil is graduallydirected to the oil cooler until at 180°F (82°C),all oil is directed through the cooler.

A temperature bulb for the oil temperatureindicator and a thermoswitch for the XMSNOIL TEMP l ight are also located on thetransmission mounted oil manifold.

After the oil exits the cooler (or bypasses thecooler through the thermostatic bypass valve),it is then directed to the transmission tolubricate the various gears and bearings. Theoil is then directed to a deck mounted oilmanifold located below the transmission inputdriveshaft. A pressure transducer and oilpressure swi tch are mounted on thet ransmiss ion deck o i l mani fo ld . Thetransducer provides signals to the oil pressuregauge and the pressure switch controls theXMSN OIL PRESS light.

After leaving the deck mounted oil manifold,the oil flows through the forward fire wall anda tee fitting equipped with two restrictors. Therestrictor fittings reduce the flow and directthe oil to the freewheel forward duplex bearingand aft housing bearing. The oil that lubricatesthe bearing in the aft housing moves forwardthrough the hollow engine output driveshaft tothe freewheel sprag clutch and bearing. Theoil is then collected in the forward freewheelhousing and re tu rned to the maintransmission lower case at atmosphericpressure.

The blades are a composite design utilizing aglass/epoxy spar, glass/epoxy skins, and anomex core. The blades incorporate nickelplated stainless steel leading edge abrasionstrip and are coated with conductive paint forlightning protection.

The tail rotor yoke static stop has beendesigned with yield indicators. The yieldindicators provide the ability to visuallydetermine if the tail rotor yoke has beenstressed beyond designed limits. This will beevident by deformation of either of the staticstop yield indicators due to excessive contactwith the yoke (Figure 1-21). If deformation ofeither yield indicator is evident, contactmaintenance personnel prior to further flight.

1-28-C. TAIL ROTOR GEARBOX

The tail rotor gearbox (Figure 1-21), locatedon the aft end of the tailboom, drives the tailrotor. It contains two spiral bevel gearspositioned at 90° angles to the other. The tailrotor gear box has a gear reduction of 2.53 to1.0 which reduces the driveshaft input speedof 6317 RPM to an output shaft speed of 2500RPM.

The gearbox has a se l f conta ined o i llubrication system, non vented filler cap, anda magnetic chip detector.

1-28-D. TAIL ROTOR CHIP LIGHT

The T/R CHIP light will illuminate if magneticpart ic les in the oi l accumulate on themagnetic chip detector.

The chip detector incorporates a self-sealingvalve which prevents the loss of oil from thegearbox when the chip detector is removed.

1-29. ROTOR SYSTEM INDICATORS

1-29-A. DUAL TACH GAUGE

The Dual Tachometer has two pointers thatsimultaneously display Rotor RPM (NR) on theouter scale and the engine NP on the innerscale. All scales are in percent RPM.

The NP side of the instrument is powered bythe 28 VDC bus through its own circuitbreaker.

An NP Speed Pickup mounted on the engineprovides two separate signals to the FADEC/ECU. One signal is the primary driver of theNP indicator and is also a secondary signalfor the FADEC/ECU. The second signal is theprimary input to the FADEC/ECU. The primarysignal to the indicator will be passed throughthe FADEC/ECU even when the FADEC/ECU isnot powered.

The NR side of the instrument is powered bythe 28 VDC bus through its own circuitbreaker.

An N R speed p ickup mounted on thetransmission lower case provides threeseparate identical signal outputs of rotorRPM. One signal is sent to the NR circuit ofthe dual tachometer gauge. One signal is sentto the FADEC/ECU and the other is sent to theRotor RPM sensor switch.

1-29-B. RPM LIGHT AND WARNINGHORN

The RPM light and warning horn circuit isdesigned to activate when the main rotor RPM(NR) is less than 95%. The RPM light will alsobe illuminated at a NR speed of 107% andhigher.

1-29-B-1. NR LESS THAN 95%

If the rotor RPM sensor detects a main rotorRPM (NR) of less than 95%, it will illuminatethe RPM light and (continuous sounding) lowrotor RPM horn. The low rotor RPM horn canbe muted by pressing the warning horn muteswitch.

1-29-B-2. NR 107% OR GREATER

If the rotor RPM sensor detects a main rotorRPM NR of 107% or greater, it will illuminatethe RPM light. The low rotor RPM horn will notbe activated.

1-30. FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM

1-30-A. ROTOR CONTROLS

Main rotor and tail rotor flight control systems(Figure 1-22), consisting of cyclic, collectiveand anti-torque controls are used to regulatethe helicopter attitude, altitude and directionof flight. The flight controls are hydraulicallyboosted to reduce p i lo t e f for t and tocounteract control feedback forces.

1-30-B. MAIN ROTOR

Main rotor cyclic and collective flight controlsregulate pitch and roll attitude and thrust.Control inputs from the cyclic and collectivecontrol sticks (Figure 1-22) in the cockpit aretransmitted by push-pull tubes to hydraulicservo actuators mounted on the top deck. Theactuators operate the cyclic and collectivelevers, which ra ise, lower, and t i l t theswashplate. The swashplate converts fixedcontrol inputs to the rotating controls andallows cyclic and collective pitch inputs to themain rotor.

In the case of loss of hydraulic pressure to theservo actuators, springs are installed inparallel to the cyclic and collective push-pulltubes on the cabin roof to assist the pilot withthe increased control feedback forces.

1-30-B-1. CYCLIC

The cyclic control stick (Figure 1-22) ismounted under the pilots crew seat andprotrudes from the forward bulkhead of thecrew seat. The fore and aft cyclic input isconnected through push-pull tubes to thecyclic hydraulic servo actuators. In addition,all cyclic fore and aft movement is fed througha cam assembly that automatically adds anamount of lateral cycl ic input that is apercen tage of the fo re and a ft cyc l icmovement. A spring canister is provided inline with the cam input to permit cyclic

movement in the event that the cam assemblybecomes jammed.

The lateral cyclic input is connected throughpush pull tubes to the cyclic hydraulic servoactuator. The hydraulic servo actuatorsoperate bellcranks and push pull tubes that tiltthe swashpla te non-rotat ing r ing . Theswashplate rotating ring tilts likewise andactuates the pitch links which control theplane of rotation of the main rotor.

The cyclic control stick grip contains a two-position intercommunication/radio transmitswitch and a cargo hook release switch. Anadjustable friction control knob, located at thebase of the cyclic stick where it protrudesthrough the forward crew seat bulkhead,allows the pilot to set the desired amount ofcontrol stiffness for flight or to lock the cycliccontrol stick during ground operation orshutdown.

A cyclic stick position switch (cyclic centeringswitch) is at tached to the cycl ic st ickbellcrank. When the helicopter is on theground, this switch will cause the CYCLICCENTERING annunciator in the caution/warning panel to illuminate when the stick isnot centered.

1-30-B-2. COLLECTIVE

The collective control stick (Figure 1-22) ismounted between the pilot and copilot crewseats. The collective control stick controls thecollective hydraulic servo actuator throughpush-pull tubes. This operates the collectivelever mounted on the top of the transmission.The collective lever raises and lowers theswashplate ball-sleeve assembly and thecyclic levers to induce collective pitch to themain rotor blades without affecting the cyclicpath. A spring is installed under the copilot'screw seat to balance the required force toraise and lower the col lect ive with thehydraulic boost system operating.

A collective friction knob is located near thebase of the collective stick between the pilotand copilot seats. A throttle twist grip for theengine is mounted on the collective stick. Amechanical idle release push button islocated in front of the twist grip throttle. Aswitchbox located on the forward end of thecollective stick provides a base for the enginestart switch and landing light switch.

1-30-C. TAIL ROTOR

The tail rotor, or anti-torque, flight controls(Figure 1-22) provide pitch adjustment of thetail rotor blades for yaw control. A set ofpedals on the cockpit floor, forward of thepilot seat, are connected to a directionalcontrol hydraulic servo actuator, located inthe aft fuselage near the tailboom. Push-pulltubes connect the actuator to the fixed pitchchange mechanism of the tail rotor gearbox.The tail rotor fixed mechanism is connectedto the rotating controls through a rotatingpush-pull tube. The push-pull tube attaches toa sliding crosshead that moves in and out onsplines on the tail rotor mast to provide pitchcontrol. Rotating counterweights minimize thecontrol forces required.

The tai l rotor control pedals contain abellcrank pedal adjuster, which provides formanual ad justment o f pedal pos i t ionaccording to the pilot’s needs. Alternatepedals may also be installed which allow thepilot to manually adjust the position of thepedal foot rests.

For helicopters with dual controls, the copilotfully functional tail rotor control pedalassembly is installed on the floor in front ofthe copilot seat to provide a means for thecopilot to control the tail rotor assembly. Thecontrol pedals are linked to the pilot pedals bymeans of control tubes and a bellcrank. Thecopilot pedals can also be positioned, asdesired, by means of the pedal adjuster.Alternate pedals may also be installed whichallow the copilot to manually adjust theposition of the pedal foot rests.

1-30-D. AIRSPEED ACTUATED PEDALSTOP SYSTEM

The Airspeed Actuated Pedal Stop system iscomprised of a Pedal Restrictor Control Unit(PRCU), an actuat ing rotary solenoid,positioning sensing microswitch, and apress-to-test PEDAL STOP (PTT) switch.

A PEDAL STOP segment (Figure 1-4) on theCaut ion /Warn ing pane l ind icates anymalfunction of the system. System power isprovided through a 5-amp circuit breakerlocated in overhead console (Figure 1-5).

The helicopter pitot and static installationinter faces w i th the PRCU. The PRCUcalculates airspeed from the pitot and staticinputs and when greater than 55 ±5 KIAS,drives the solenoid to extend the pedal stoprestrictor into the left pedals range of travel.The PRCU will trigger the solenoid to retractthe pedal stop when calculated airspeed fallsbelow 50 ±5 KIAS.

Upon full extension of the pedal stop, theposition sensing microswitch is activated andthe PRCU illuminates the ENGAGED messageon the PEDAL STOP (PTT) switch. Thismessage is extinguished when the pedal stopis retracted.

The Airspeed Actuated Pedal Stop Systemdiagram is shown in Figure 1-23.

1-31. HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

The hydraulic system (Figure 1-24) providesboost power for the cyclic, collective andanti-torque fl ight controls. The systemincludes a pump, reservoir, pressure andreturn filter assemblies, pressure and returnmanifold, pressure monitoring sensor,solenoid valve, pressure relief valve, flightcontrol servo actuators, and interconnectingtubing and fittings.

The hydraulic pump is mounted on and drivenby the transmission. The pump is a variablede l ivery pressure compensa ted ,

Page 660: Bell 407 - Flight Manual

BHT-407-MD-1 MANUFACTURER’S DATA

1-90———Rev. 2—31 JAN 2007

self-lubricated type designed to operatecontinuously and provide a rated dischargepressure of 1000 -25/+50 PSI. Hydraulic fluidis supplied to the pump from a vented gravityfeed reservoir mounted forward of thetransmission. Fluid passes through the pump,a pressure filter, and a solenoid valve. Thesolenoid valve is controlled by a HYD SYSswitch located on the overhead console.When HYD SYS switch is ON, the solenoidvalve is de-energized to the open position andfluid is routed to cyclic, collective, andanti-torque actuators. From the actuators,fluid passes through a return filter to thereservoir. Both the pressure and return filterassemblies have filter indicators. Theseindicators are activated when the differentialpressure across the filter is 70 ±10 PSI. Thepressure filter does not contain a bypassvalve. The pressure filter will clog completelyin order to prevent contaminated hydraulicfluid from being pumped through the system.The return filter contains a bypass valve thatwill allow fluid to bypass the filter if it sensesa differential pressure of 100 ±25 PSI acrossthe filter. When the differential pressuredecreases to 60 PSI, the bypass valve willclose. This allows fluid returning from theservo actuators to return to the reservoir evenif the return filter is completely clogged.

A relief valve is incorporated in the system,between the pressure filter and the solenoidvalve. The relief valve is normally closed.When the pressure reaches 1225 ±150 PSI, therelief valve will open to protect the systemfrom damage. The relief valve will reset whenpressure drops to approximately 1075 PSI.

1-31-A. HYDRAULIC INDICATORS

Hydraul ic system indicators include aHYDRAULIC SYSTEM caution light on thecaution/warning panel and filter bypassindicators located on both the pressure andreturn filter assemblies.

1-31-B. HYDRAULIC FILTERINDICATORS

Each filter assembly contains a filter indicatorthat indicates an impending clogged filter.The indicator consists of a red buttonmounted on the filter assembly housing.When the differential pressure across thefilter is 70 ±10 PSI, the red button will rise. Toprevent inaccurate indications of bypass, theindicator will not work when the hydraulicfluid temperature is less than 35°F (2°C). Ifhydraulic fluid temperature is more than 35°F(2°C) , the ind icator g ives the correctindication of clogging, even if the ambienttemperature is below 35°F.

If a filter button is extended, indicating animpending clogged filter, maintenance actionshould be performed prior to next flight. Thefilter indicator is reset by pushing the button in.

1-31-C. HYDRAULIC SYSTEM LIGHT

The HYDRAULIC SYSTEM l ight circuit isdesigned to illuminate when the hydraulicsystem fluid pressure is below the minimumlimit.

The hydraulic system light will be illuminatedwhen the hydraulic pressure switch detects adecreasing pressure of 650 -0/+100 PSI, andwill extinguish on an increasing pressure at750 +0/-100 PSI. The hydraulic pressureswitch is mounted on the hydraulic manifold,forward of the hydraulic actuator support.

1-32. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

The helicopter is equipped with a 28 VDCelectrical system (Figure 1-25). Power for thissystem is obtained from a nickel-cadmium 24volt, 17 amp/hour battery or optional 24 volt,28 amp/hour battery and a 30 volt, 200-ampstarter-generator. The starter-generator hasbeen derated to 180 amps to ensure adequatecooling under all operating conditions up to18,000 feet Hp. Refer to the BHT-407-FMlimitations for operations above 18,000 feetHp.

BHT-407-MD-1 MANUFACTURER’S DATA

1-94———Rev. 2—31 JAN 2007

Major components of DC power systeminclude battery, starter-generator, DC controlunit, voltage regulator, relays, 28 VDC bus,and circuit breakers. All circuits in electricalsystem are single wire with fuselage commonground re tu rn . Negat ive termina ls o fstarter-generator and battery are grounded tohelicopter structure. Controls for electricalsystem are located on overhead console andinstrument panel.

Generator is provided with over voltage,under voltage and reverse current protection.If an over voltage (32 ±0.5 VDC), under voltage(18 ±1.8 VDC), or reverse current (0.08 to 0.150VDC for 350 milliseconds) is detected, the DCcontrol unit/voltage regulator will disconnectthe generator from the system. Failure of thegenerator can be determined by GEN FAILlight, a zero ammeter reading, and batteryvoltage displayed on the voltmeter.

In the event power from the generator is lost,emergency power available from the batterycan be maximized by pulling the circuitbreakers on all non-essential systems. In theevent of a total electrical failure (hard short onbus), if the battery switch is immediatelyplaced to the OFF position, the 17 amp/hourbattery, assuming 80% charged, can supplyfuel boost and transfer pumps for a period ofapproximately 1.7 hours. The optional 28 amp/hour battery, assuming 80% charged, cansupply fuel boost and transfer pumps for aperiod of approximately 2.8 hours.

1-32-A. EXTERNAL POWER

External power may be supplied to thehelicopter by means of a receptacle locatedon the lower front section of helicopter. 28VDC Ground Power Unit (GPU) shall be 500amps or less to reduce risk of starter damagefrom overheating.

If external power was used to power the startand the battery switch was left in the OFFposition, it is important to position the batteryswitch to ON prior to removing the externalpower source (refer to BHT-407-FM-1, Normal

Procedures). If all sources of electrical powerare removed from the ECU with the engine atidle in AUTO mode, the start solenoid valve inthe HMU will open, causing the engine todecelerate and possibly flame out. If theBattery switch is inadvertently left OFF andthe external power source is removed, do notattempt to reapply power when a decrease inNG speed is noted. Thrott le should beposit ioned to cutoff . Reappl icat ion ofe lectr ica l power could cause an overtemperature condition due to the reduced NGspeed and reintroduction of fuel by theFADEC system.

1-32-B. BATTERY SWITCH

The battery switch is insta l led on theoverhead console and controls the batteryrelay which connects the battery to the DCbus. The switch has two positions OFF andBATT.

In the event BATTERY HOT light comes ON,BATT switch shall be turned OFF. If BATTswitch is turned OFF and BATTERY RLY lightilluminates, this indicates battery relaycontacts have not opened. If battery relaycontacts have not opened, battery wil lcont inue to receive a charge from thegenerator. To prevent this, pilot should turnGEN switch to OFF. Battery will continue torun all electrical systems through the closedbattery relay. To reduce load on overheatedbattery, pilot should pull circuit breakers onall non-essential systems. Left FUEL XFR/BOOST circuit breaker switch should be leftON to insure fuel transfer from the forwardfuel tank to the main fuel tank continues.

The BATT switch also configures the DCpower feed to the left fuel boost pump and theleft fuel transfer pump between the DC bus(battery switch positioned to BATT) and thehelicopter battery (BATT switch positioned toOFF).

In the event the battery switch is positioned toOFF dur ing he l icopter operat ions , analternate circuit (Figure 1-17) is provided to

allow operation of the left fuel transfer and leftfuel boost pumps. During this condition, withthe FUEL VALVE switch positioned to ON,battery voltage is supplied through the fuelboost/xfr backup circuit breaker, the fuelvalve switch, the battery switch, and the leftfuel xfr/ boost circuit breaker switch to the leftfuel transfer and left fuel boost pumps.

1-32-C. BATTERY CHARGING (17 AND 28AMP/HOUR BATTERIES)

As a maintenance function, battery chargingmay be accomplished with battery installed inhelicopter, due to minor depletion, using aGPU. The GPU must incorporate a goodquality constant voltage regulator, a variablevoltage selector and an amperage indicator.

NOTE

It is recommended that the chargingprocedure not exceed 45 minutes indurat ion. Frequent use of th isprocedure may cause loss ofelectrolyte due to gassing throughelectrolysis. Reduced levels ofe lec t ro ly te can cause ce l limbalances and lower overall batterycapacity. This procedure is notin tended to take the p lace o fscheduled battery maintenanceprocedures.

CAUTION

BATTERY HOT CAUTION LIGHTMUST BE CONTINUOUSLYMONITORED DURING THISPROCEDURE. IF BATTERY HOTLIGHT ILLUMINATES, BATTERYSWITCH SHALL BE SET TO OFF ANDGPU POWER REMOVED TO REDUCEPOSSIB IL ITY OF THERMALRUNAWAY.

Battery switch may be set to ON after GPUpower is applied and voltage adjusted to 28.5VDC (do not exceed 28.5 volts). Battery

charging is supplied by the GPU and must bemonitored. Charging will be completed whenGPU output indicates approximately 8 amps.In the event BATTERY HOT warning lightilluminates, battery shall be turned OFF andGPU power removed.

1-32-D. GENERATOR SWITCH

The generator switch is installed on theoverhead console and controls generatoroutput by opening and closing the generatorfield circuit. The switch is a double pole,double throw, spring loaded design with onlymomentary contact in the RESET position.The switch has 3 positions, GEN, OFF, andRESET.

With the generator switch positioned to GEN,its function is to complete the generator fieldcircuit between the starter generator and thegenerator control unit/voltage regulator.Under normal operating conditions, this willallow the generator control unit/voltageregulator to monitor and control the outputvoltage of the starter generator and in turnconnect the output of the generator to the 28VDC bus through the generator relay.

Positioning the generator switch to OFFopens the generator field circuit whichremoves control of the generator control unit/voltage regulator from the generator andgenerator relay. The generator relay will open,removing the generator from the 28 DC bus.

In the event an over voltage condition isdetected by the generator control unit/voltageregulator, an internal regulator trip relaycircuit will be activated. Positioning thegenerator switch to RESET provides buspower, from the battery, to the generatorcontrol unit/voltage regulator which will resetthe in terna l t r ip re lay c i rcu i t . I f themalfunction condition persists following theRESET, further attempts to reset should notbe made.

Additionally, following a start using a GPU,ensure battery switch is positioned to ON and

Page 666: Bell 407 - Flight Manual

BHT-407-MD-1 MANUFACTURER’S DATA

1-96———Rev. 2—31 JAN 2007

GPU is disconnected prior to positioning thegenerator switch to GEN. Positioning thegenerator switch to GEN with the GPUconnected may cause a reverse currentsituation and trip the generator off line.

1-32-E. START SWITCH

The start switch is located on the collectiveswitch box. It contains two sets of springloaded contacts which provide momentarycontact in either the START or DISENGpositions. When the switch is positioned tostart or disengage, only one set of contactsmove (Figure 1-25). For a description of aSTART IN AUTO MODE or START IN MANUALMODE refer to paragraph 1-12-D or paragraph1-12-F.

1-32-F. ELECTRICAL SYSTEMINDICATORS

Electrical system indicators include a DCammeter, voltmeter, BATTERY HOT light,BATTERY RELAY light, START light, and GENFAIL light.

1-32-G. FUEL PRESSURE/DC AMMETER

The fuel pressure/ammeter gauge is a dualdisplay instrument. The ammeter indicatesthe load in amperes that is being supplied tothe 28 VDC bus by the engine dr ivengenerator.

The ammeter side of the indicator is poweredby its own circuit breaker.

1-32-G-1. AMMETER — 200 AMPS MAXSCALE

For ammeter readings above 200 amps(maximum scale) the indicator will indicate asfollows:

Amperes 201 to 300 amps — Maintain fullscale for 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, dropto zero.

Amperes 301 to 400 amps — Maintain fullscale for 5 seconds. After 5 seconds,drop to zero.

If ammeter indication drops to zero,pos i t ion generator swi tch to OFF.Following a brief time, generator switchcan be positioned to GEN (ON). Refer tothe BHT-407-FM-1 for generator loadlimitations.

1-32-G-2. AMMETER — 400 AMPS MAXSCALE

Ammeter indications will be continuousregardless of load. Indicator will not drop tozero if limits are exceeded. Refer to theBHT-407-FM-1 for generator load limitations.

5. Insert telescopic antenna into ANTreceptacle. Extend antenna fully.

6. Turn ELT transmitter Master switchto ON position. DO NOT USE AUTOPOSITION.

Consider factors such as terrain, temperature,and precipitation when choosing a locationfor the ELT transmitter to radiate from. Thebest transmission may be obtained bykeeping the antenna vertical and settingtransmitter upright on a metallic surface. Ifterrain prohibits good transmission (such asdeep valley or canyon), place the transmitteron high ground or hold in hand in high place.

As cold temperatures have a direct effect onELT transmitter battery life, the life of thebattery pack can be extended by placing theELT transmitter inside a jacket or coat to keepthe battery warm. Let antenna extend outsidejacket. Keep all moisture and ice away fromthe antenna connection and the remoteconnector pins.

Ensure ELT t ransmi t te r is turned ONcontinuously (day and night), until rescueteam appears.

Section 4EXPANDED PERFORMANCE

4-1. FUEL FLOW CHARTS

The fuel flow charts (Figure 4-1) present fuelconsumption during level flight as a functionof altitude, OAT, airspeed, and gross weight.These charts are based on estimates andlimited flight test data. They are applicable tothe basic helicopter with all doors installedand without any optional equipment whichwould appreciably affect lift, drag, or poweravailable.

These data do not include the effects of bleedair heater, ECU, particle separator purge, or

anti-ice operation on fuel consumption. Also,fuel consumption may vary between enginesunder the same operating conditions. It isrecommended, therefore, that the operatorconduct fuel consumption checks to adjustthe presented data as necessary.

The solid line labeled LRC indicates theoptimum long range cruise airspeed for bestfuel economy. LRC is not depicted where itwo u ld o ccu r a bo ve the con t i nu o ustransmission limit line.
