Pilot's Flight Manual Reissued: 16 Jan 2019 v SCHWEIZER Model 269C-1 Helicopter Pilot's Flight Manual vi Reissued: 16 Jan 2019 GENERAL WARNING Operating the aircraft in configurations not authorized by Schweizer RSG, LLC., or failure to com ply with the limitations and procedures in this Flight Manual, may result in dam age to equipment, personal injury or loss of life. WARNING Components from helicopters involved in crashes/accidents may be offered for sale and use on airworthy helicopters. Please be advised that when ever a part is subjected to stresses, thermal effects or other damage outside of the normal operating parameters, some ad verse change in that part may occur. Such change may not be visually detect- able and may therefore require destructive testing to determine airworthiness. Unless stresses, thermal effects, or other damage to which parts are subjected as the result of a crash can be evaluated and determine to be within design parameters, any part that may affect safe operation of the helicopter must be assumed to be damaged beyond acceptable limits and must not be re-used on airworthy helicopters. For the safety of your helicopter and the people who fly with you, it is neces- sary that the integrity of crash damaged parts be assessed by you before you fly.

A two bladed tail rotor is used for torque reaction and directional control. Power is supplied by a Textron Lycoming Model HO-360-C1A reciprocating engine (Original factory installation in S/N 0001-0138) or HIO-360-G1A (Original factory installation in S/N 0139 & Subs.). The engine power is transmitted through a belt drive transmission assembly to the main transmission and tail rotor drive shaft. The belt drive assembly incorporates an overrunning clutch to permit autorotation without driving the belts or engine. The fuselage with a central, tubular steel, open frame forms the load-carrying structure for the helicopter. The center frame provides attachments for and supports all helicopter components above the landing gear, which is attached to the underside of the frame. The forward section holds the pilot’s compartment; the cabin contains two seats, with the pilot’s position on the right side. Seat cushions and backs are contoured for personnel comfort. The seat support, to which the cushions are affixed, provides an installation of maximum personnel safety as a result of the impact-yielding capability. Seat belts and shoulder harnesses are provided for the pilot and passenger positions. An instrument panel is located forward of the seats at the helicopter centerline. The panel includes flight and engine instruments in addition to warning and caution lights and various switches and controls. Space provisions exist for communication and navigation equipment. A 28 volt accessory power plug is located below the left side of the instrument panel on later serial number aircraft. Instrument consoles have a stowage compartment (glove box) which can accommodate up to 20 lbs. additional baggage. The pilot’s position is on the right side of the cabin, with a cyclic control stick and tail rotor pedals provided in front of the pilot’s seat. The pedals are adjustable. A collective pitch control stick is provided to the left of the pilot’s seat. The cyclic and collective control system is the mechanically linked, solid type, using tubular push-pull rods. The tail rotor control system utilizes cables and pulleys in one link of its otherwise solid system of tubular push-pull rods. A cabin, mounted forward of the center frame, is formed by the canopy, two cabin doors, a floor section and a seat structure. The cabin encloses the pilot and passenger area and contains the flight controls, seats, instrument panel and other furnishings. The canopy and door transparent areas are of cast acrylic material. An airfoil which modifies the airflow around the cabin, extends above and across the canopy upper windshield section. General Pilot's Flight Manual Reissued: 16 Jan 2019 1-5 SCHWEIZER Model 269C-1 Helicopter The cabin floor structure consists of aluminum floor beams, channels, panels and other structural components. The floor structure supports the instrument panel and provides for mounting the tail rotor directional control pedals. The seat structure is an assembly of riveted aluminum beams, frames, bulkheads, supports and other structural components. The support structure for the crew and passenger seats is a raised horizontal platform across the width of the cabin, with an upright vertical bulkhead at the rear of the horizontal seat platform. The horizontal platform provides mounting facilities and support for the seats and collective and cyclic flight controls. The vertical bulkhead forms the rear of the cabin and mounts the upright portions of the seats. At the center rear of the vertical bulkhead, the main rotor mast is secured to the upper structural member of the bulkhead; additionally, the mast is rigidly attached to the center frame by three structural members. The lower forward section of the seat structure is riveted to the floor structure. The two door frames are riveted to each side of the structural unit formed by the seat and floor structures. A lower forward fairing is attached to the forward edge of the floor structure and extends downward and rearward to the forward crossbeam of the landing gear. It provides for streamlining below the cabin and supports the engine air induction system. A tailboom assembly extends rearward from its attachment to the center frame section. It is a monocoque structure of aluminum and houses the tail rotor drive shaft and tail rotor control rod. At the aft end, it supports the tail rotor gearbox and tail rotor, in addition to the horizontal and vertical stabilizers. The landing gear is the skid type and is nonretractable. Fore and aft crossbeams attach to the underside of the center frame section and provide for attachment of struts and oleo-type, shock-absorbing dampers. Right and left stabilizer assemblies connect the outboard ends of the crossbeams and provide stepping areas for entry to each side of the cabin and for servicing and inspecting the helicopter. Skid tubes attached to contoured fittings at the lower ends of the struts provide attachment points for installation of ground handling wheels. The powerplant is the Textron Lycoming Model HO-360-C1A (Original factory installation in S/N 0001-0138) four-cylinder, horizontally opposed, air-cooled, carbureted engine with a primer system. The HIO-360-G1A (Original factory installation in S/N 0139 & Subs.) is an injected engine of the same type. The engine is rated at 180 hp at 2700 rpm for both takeoff and General Pilot's Flight Manual 1-6 Reissued: 16 Jan 2019 SCHWEIZER Model 269C-1 Helicopter maximum continuous operation at sea level with standard atmosphere conditions. The engine is mounted horizontally on shock mounts within the center frame section. The engine transmits power through a belt drive transmission assembly to the main transmission and tail rotor drive shaft. The lower pulley of the belt drive receives power from the engine crankshaft and directs the power to the upper pulley through a matched set of V-belts. An idler pulley running against the set of belts and connected to a pilot-controlled actuating mechanism operates as a clutch to engage and disengage the upper pulley with the lower pulley. The upper pulley attaches to the input shaft of the main transmission and incorporates an over running clutch that permits the main rotor to drive during the autorotation without engine power. The main transmission mounts on the lower end of the nonrotating main rotor mast and is rigidly fixed in position by support members connected to the center frame section. The transmission is lubricated by a self-contained lubrication system and is cooled by airflow around the housing. The main rotor drive shaft transmits power from the main transmission to the main rotor hub. A thrust bearing, acting upon a shoulder on the drive shaft, positions the shaft within the mast. The three-bladed main rotor system is fully articulated with flapping hinges and lead-lag hinged blade attachment. The one-piece tail rotor drive shaft requires no intermediate couplings or bearings. Excessive oscillation of the drive shaft during acceleration and deceleration of the drive system is suppressed by the drive shaft damper, located near the center of the tailboom. The tail rotor transmission is located at the aft end of the tailboom and has a self-contained lubricant supply. The tail rotor is mounted on the output shaft of the tail rotor transmission and consists of two variable-pitch blades. The blades are interconnected by a high-strength, tension-torsion strap assembly. The helicopter main fuel tank has a total capacity of 35.2 or 33.0 U.S. gallons (133 or 125 liters) depending on aircraft S/N, and is located externally on the left-hand side of the cabin bulkhead. An auxiliary tank with a total capacity of 30.0 or 33.0 U.S. Gallons (113 or 125 liters) depending on aircraft S/N may be attached externally to the right-hand side of the cabin bulkhead.
