CASA BELL 206L-1 Extract V2.1 Page - 9 SECTION 5 PERFORMANCE DATA The Bell 206L-1 Long Ranger II performance data are contained in this section. The data listed on the graphs are derived from actual flight tests and are intended to provide information to be used in conducting flight operations. POWER CHECK PROCEDURES The Power Check Chart indicates the minimum percent torque that must be available from an engine meeting the minimum Allison specification. The engine must develop these values in order to meet the performance data contained in this flight manual. The takeoff power limits of the 250-C30F engine are: Maximum Torque - 100% (5 minutes). Maximum TOT (turbine outlet temperature) - 791°C (5 minutes) Maximum gas producer RPM (NI) - 104% To perform a Power Check, ensure that the PARTICLE SEP PRG switch is OFF and anti-ice is OFF. Adjust power until helicopter is stabilized in level flight at the maximum airspeed attainable within engine and airframe limits. EXAMPLE: Record the following information from cockpit instruments: Outside Air Temperature - °C Example 18°C Turbine Outlet Temperature - °C Example 740°C Pressure Altitude - Ft. Example 4000 ft. Percent Torque - % (Take your actual reading) Enter Power Check Chart at observed OAT (Example 18°C), proceed vertically to intersection of TOT (Example 740°C) and follow horizontally to intersection with pressure altitude (Example 4000 ft), drop vertically to read chart percent torque (85%). If actual reading of percent torque is the same or greater than the chart percent torque, engine power equals or exceeds minimum performance specification and performance data contained in this manual can be achieved. If actual reading of percent torque is less than chart percent torque, engine power is less than minimum performance specification and all performance data contained in this manual cannot be achieved. Refer to the appropriate maintenance manual to determine cause of low power. 206L-1 FLIGHT MANUAL CASA BELL 206L-1 Extract V2.1 Page - 10 RATE OF CLIMB Rate of Climb Charts are presented for various combinations of power setting, and anti-ice and particle separator purge switch positions. The rate of climb data shown in the graphs are termed `TAPELINE RATE OF CLIMB', which means actual rate of climb. The rate of climb measured with an altimeter will show tapeline rates of climb only on a standard day, with a standard temperature lapse rate. The following example is for use with rate of Climb - Maximum with Takeoff Power. The example is typical for use with all other Rate of Climb Charts. EXAMPLE: Assume an ambient OAT of 10°C, a pressure altitude of 12,000 feet and a gross weight of 3600 lbs. (1632.9 kilograms) and anti-ice and particle separator purge switches - OFF Enter temperature scale at 10°C, proceed vertically to intersection of the 12,000 feet pressure altitude curve; from this point move horizontally to the right to intersect the 3600 lb. (1632.9 Kg) gross weight line. Drop vertically and read a rate of clime of 1070 feet per minute. RATE OF CLIMB - DOOR(S) OFF Reduce Rate of Climb Chart data 100 feet per minute when operating with any combination of door(s) OFF. BEST RATE OF CLIMB Best Rate of Climb is: CAS IAS 60 MPH 66 MPH 52 kts 57 kts 206L-1 FLIGHT MANUAL CASA BELL 206L-1 Extract V2.1 Page - 11 206L-1 FLIGHT MANUAL CASA BELL 206L-1 Extract V2.1 Page - 12 206L-1 FLIGHT MANUAL CASA BELL 206L-1 Extract V2.1 Page - 13 OPERATION IN ALLOWABLE RELATIVE WIND Satisfactory stability and control has been demonstrated in relative winds of 20 MPH (17 knots) sideward and rearward at all loading conditions within Area A of Hover Ceiling Charts. IGE AND OGE HOVER CEILING CHARTS The IGE and OGE Hover Ceiling Charts present hover performance (allowable gross weight) for various anti-ice and particle separator purge switch positions for conditions of pressure altitude and OAT. Each chart is divided into two areas. AREA A (White Area) as shown on the hover ceiling charts present hover performance for which controllability has been demonstrated in all relative wind conditions up to 20 MPH (17 knots). NOTE Engine TOT will rise noticeably when hovering downwind. Avoid hovering downwind when operating near TOT limits. AREA B (Shaded area) as shown on hover ceiling charts present additional hover performance which can be realized in CALM WINDS or winds outside the CRITICAL RELATIVE WIND AZIMUTH AREA. 206L-1 FLIGHT MANUAL CASA BELL 206L-1 Extract V2.1 Page - 14 CRITICAL RELATIVE WIND AZIMUTH AREA NOTE Tail rotor control margin and/or control of engine temperature (TOT) may preclude operation in AREA B of the Hover Ceiling Charts when the relative wind is in the Critical Wind Azimuth Area. 206L-1 FLIGHT MANUAL CASA BELL 206L-1 Extract V2.1 Page - 15 HOVER CEILING The following example is for use with the Hover Ceiling in-ground-effect, takeoff power, anti-ice OFF, particle separator purge - OFF chart and is typical for use of all other Hover Ceiling Charts. EXAMPLE What gross weight hover capability could be expected at a site having the following conditions: Pressure Altitude = 10,000 ft. Outside Air Temperature = 20°C For the above example the pilot must refer to the 0°C to 46°C Hover Ceiling Charts. From the appropriate IGE Chart obtain: A maximum of 3430 pounds (1555.5 kilograms) for all allowable wind conditions, and a maximum of 3900 pounds (1768.7 kilograms) when wind conditions are calm or outside the critical wind azimuth area. From the appropriate OGE Chart obtain: A maximum of 3300 pounds (1496.6 kilograms) for all allowable wind conditions. Notice that for this example the helicopter reaches an engine limit (20°C) and a controllability limit (Area B) at the same gross weight. NOTE The In-Ground-Effect (IGE) and Out-Of-Ground-Effect (OGE) Hover Ceiling Charts are presented separately for the temperatures from 0°C to 46°C and for temperatures from 0°C to -25°C, only for clarity of presentation. 206L-1 FLIGHT MANUAL CASA BELL 206L-1 Extract V2.1 Page - 16 206L-1 FLIGHT MANUAL CASA BELL 206L-1 Extract V2.1 Page - 17 206L-1 FLIGHT MANUAL CASA BELL 206L-1 Extract V2.1 Page - 18 ALTITUDE VS GROSS WEIGHT LIMIT FOR HEIGHT-VELOCITY DIAGRAM 206L-1 FLIGHT MANUAL CASA BELL 206L-1 Extract V2.1 Page - 19 HEIGHT VELOCITY DIAGRAM The Height-Velocity Diagram defines the conditions from which a safe landing can be made on a smooth, level, firm surface following an engine failure.

The empty weight centre of gravity shall be adjusted within the limits of the applicable Weight Empty Centre of Gravity chart. GROSS WEIGHT CENTRE OF GRAVITY It shall be the pilots responsibility to ensure that the helicopter is properly loaded so that the entire flight is conducted within the limits of the Gross Weight Centre of Gravity chart in Section 1. The gross weight centre of gravity may be calculated from the helicopter Actual Weight Record (historical records) and the Loading Tables in this section or in appropriate Flight Manual Supplements to assure safe loading. COCKPIT AND CABIN LOADING A minimum crew weight of 170 pounds (77.1 kilograms) in the cockpit is required. Passengers may be loaded in any sequence if only one crew seat is occupied. If both crew seats are occupied, only one mid passenger is permitted unless there are two aft passengers. If any doors are removed gross weight CG shall be computed. The passenger compartment loading limit is 75 pounds per square foot. FUEL LOADING At the beginning of any flight with full fuel on board, the CG of the fuel moves forward as it is consumed. This occurs because fuel is consumed from the aft fuel cell first. The maximum forward CG condition of the fuel occurs when 62.5 gallons (236.6 litres / 192.8 kg) remain. The CG then begins to move aft as the fuel is consumed from the forward fuel cells. The maximum aft CG condition of the fuel occurs when 39.8 gallons (150.6 litres / 122.7 kg) remain. The CG then begins to move forward again as the remaining fuel is consumed. With normal crew and passenger loading, gross weight CG should remain within limits at any fuel quantity. BAGGAGE COMPARTMENT LOADING The baggage compartment is accessible from the left side of the fuselage and contains approximately 16 cubic feet of space. The baggage compartment has a load limit of 250 pounds (113.4 kg) at 86 pounds per square foot. This is a structural limit only and does not infer that the CG will remain within approved limits. When weight is loaded into the baggage compartment, 206L-1 FLIGHT MANUAL CASA BELL 206L-1 Extract V2.1 Page - 24 indiscriminate crew, passenger and fuel loading can no longer be assumed and the pilot must compute gross weight CG to assure loading within approved limits. Loading of the baggage compartment should be from front to rear. The load shall be secured to tiedown fittings if shifting of the load in flight could result in structural damage to the baggage compartment or in gross weight centre of gravity limits being exceeded. The centre of gravity shall be computed with the load in the most adverse position. WEIGHT AND BALANCE DIAGRAMS AND LOADING TABLES HELICOPTER STATIONS DIAGRAM Several significant helicopter stations are shown. CENTRE OF GRAVITY VS. WEIGHT EMPTY CHART Refer to Maintenance Manual. FUEL LOADING TABLES Fuel loading tables are provided for commercial jet fuels ASTM Type Jet B (JP-4) and types A and A-1 (JP-5). Fuel quantities are listed, with their moments, in 5-gallon increments from 5 gallons through to 98.4 gallons, which is total fuel capacity. CABIN AND BAGGAGE COMPARTMENT TABLE OF MOMENTS This table provides the weight and moment for each passenger station location. The chart also contains a moments column for litter patient(s) and baggage compartment. Weights and their moments are listed in 10-pound increments starting with 40 pounds and ending at 350 pounds. To find moments for weights in excess of 350 pounds, calculate the weight in excess of 350 pounds. Add the appropriate moment for the excess weight to the moment for 350 pounds. This will give the desired moment for the total weight. EXAMPLE: Find the moment for a 450 pound load in the aft seat SOLUTION: 450 pounds - 350 pounds = 100 pounds WEIGHT MOMENT 350 lbs 45150 +100 lbs 12900 TOTAL WEIGHT TOTAL MOMENT 450 LBS 58050 206L-1 FLIGHT MANUAL CASA BELL 206L-1 Extract V2.1 Page - 25 STATIONS DIAGRAM 206L-1 FLIGHT MANUAL CASA BELL 206L-1 Extract V2.1 Page - 26 SAMPLE LOADING PROBLEM (ENGLISH UNITS) A helicopter is chartered to transport 4 passengers plus pilot and 200 pounds of baggage for a trip that will require approximately 83 gallons of Jet A or A-1 (JP-5) fuel.
