SECTION 4 - PERFORMANCE DATA
GENERAL
The maximum power available with the Bleed-Air Heater system operating is
less than that available with the helicopter in basic configuration.
This power loss is caused by the compressor bleed-air used for the heater
system.
Performance charts with the bleed-air heater switched ON are provided for all
engine operative.
During single engine operation the bleed-air heater system must be switched
OFF.
Performance with the bleed-air heater system switched OFF is the same as that
shown in the basic Rotorcraft Flight Manual.
List of Performance Data Charts:
