SECTION 2
NORMAL PROCEDURES
INTRODUCTION
This section contains instructions and procedures for operating the helicopter
from the planning stage, through actual flight conditions, to securing the
helicopter after landing.
Normal and standard conditions are assumed in these procedures. Pertinent
data in other sections is referenced when applicable.
The instructions and procedures contained herein are written for the purpose of
standardization and are not applicable to all situations.
The minimum and maximum limits, and the normal and cautionary operating
ranges for the helicopter and its subsystems are indicated by instrument
markings and placards. Refer to Section 1 for a detailed explanation of each
operating limitation.
Each time an operating limitation is exceeded, an appropriate entry shall be
made in the logbook (helicopter, engine, etc.). The entry shall state which limit
was exceeded, the duration of time, the extreme value attained, and any
additional information essential in determining the maintenance action re-
quired.
FLIGHT PLANNING
Each flight should be planned adequately to ensure safe operations and to
provide the pilot with the data to be used during flight.
Essential weight and balance, and performance information should be com-
piled as follows:
— Check type of mission to be performed and destination.
— Select appropriate performance charts to be used from Section 4.
— Review the appropriate Supplements of this Rotorcraft Flight Manual for
the optional equipment(s) installed.
