5−3. DENSITY ALTITUDE CHART Description: The chart allows a quick estimation of the density altitude when pressure altitude and OAT are known. This chart can also be used to deter­ mine true airspeed. Use of Chart: To determine density altitude, the pilot must know pressure altitude and outside air temperature. Enter bottom of chart with known or estimated OAT, move up to known pressure altitude line, move to left and note densi­ ty altitude. Pressure altitude is found by setting 29.92 (1013 mb) in Kolsman win­ dow ± altimeter error. To determine true airspeed convert indicated airspeed (IAS) to calibrated airspeed (CAS) utilizing the Airspeed Calibration Curve (Ref. Figure 5-2). On Density Altitude Chart read value on right of chart opposite known den­ sity altitude. Multiply CAS by this value to determine true airspeed. Examples: Find density altitude for 6000 HP at -15°C: Follow -15°C line to 6,000 ft pressure altitude line; read density altitude (3800 ft). Find density factor: Read directly across from density altitude: (3800 ft). Note density factor of 1.058. Find true airspeed: 130 KIAS = 126.5 KCAS (Ref. Figure 5-2.) 126.5 KCAS  1.058 = 133.8; round to 134 knots true airspeed (KTAS).

5−4. AIRSPEED CALIBRATION Description: The chart shows the difference between indicated and calibrated airspeeds (Ref. Figure 5-2). Knots indicated airspeed (KIAS) corrected for position error equals knots cali­ brated airspeed (KCAS). Use of chart: Use the chart as illustrated by the example. To determine cali­ brated airspeed, the pilot must know the indicated airspeed. Example: Wanted: Calibrated airspeed Known: Indicated airspeed = 120 knots Method: Enter the bottom of the chart at the indicated airspeed of 120 knots. Move up to the airspeed calibration line; move left and read approximately 118 knots, calibrated airspeed.

This chart also provides an airspeed for the minimum rate of descent and maximum glide distance in autorotation, however, the same rates of climb and descent can be obtained for airspeeds as low as 50 KIAS. Use of Chart: Use the chart as illustrated by the example below. Example: Wanted: Speed for best rate of climb (YSAS not installed) Known: Density altitude = 8,000 feet Method: Enter the left side of chart at the known density altitude of 8,000 feet. Move to the right to the best rate of climb speed curve and then directly down to read approximately 78 KIAS as the best rate of climb speed.

5−6. HOVER CEILING − IN GROUND EFFECT (IGE) Description: The hover ceiling chart shows the maximum hover weight capability, in ground effect (IGE), at take off power for known conditions of pressure altitude and outside air temperature, or alternately, the maximum hover ceiling for a known gross weight and outside air temperature. Separate hover performance charts are provided for helicopters equipped with either the engine air inlet particle separator or standard engine air inlet screen. For many operations, a reduction in gross weight capability as a result of elec­ trical load or use of engine bleed devices still allows the aircraft to operate at the maximum gross weight as depicted on the chart. Use of Chart: The following example explains the correct use of the IGE Chart in Figure 5-4. Example: Wanted: Maximum gross weight for hover at 3.5 feet skid height at takeoff power. Known: HP = 10,000 feet; OAT = 10°C, cabin heat ON, anti-ice and scav air OFF; 40 amp electrical load. Method: Enter the left-hand chart at 10°C and move vertically to the 10,000 Ft pressure altitude line. From this point, move directly to the right to the 10°C line (on right-hand chart). From this point, move down to read 3875 lb from the gross weight scale. Because the helicopter in this example has the cabin heat on, we must subtract 128 lb from the 3875 gross weight capability as de­ termined from the chart, resulting in a gross weight of 3747 lb. If the cabin heat was not on, then the actual hover gross weight would be limited to 3850 lb.

CAUTION

Gross weights above 3850 LB must be external and jettisonable.

NOTE: Critical wind azimuth limitations may apply. Refer to Section II.

HEIGHT − VELOCITY ENVELOPE Height-Velocity Diagram (Figure 5-7) Description: Airspeed/altitude combinations to be avoided in the event of an engine failure during takeoff are shown in the height-velocity diagram. The height velocity diagram is based on the following conditions. 1. 7000 HD. 2. 3850 LB gross weight. 3. Winds less than 3 knots. 4. Smooth hard landing surface. Observe the shaded regions of the Height−Velocity Diagram. These

WARNING represent airspeed/altitude combinations from which a successful

autorotation landing would be difficult to perform. Operation within the shaded area is not prohibited, but should be avoided.

Use of Chart: The recommended takeoff profile line shows the airspeed/altitude combina­ tions recommended for takeoff using not more than 10% above hover power until clear of height-velocity diagram shaded areas.

5−9. POWER ASSURANCE CHECK The Power Check Chart (Ref. Figure 5-8) shows the relationship of engine torque, turbine outlet temperature, and horsepower at various conditions of pressure altitude and OAT for a Rolls-Royce 250-C47M engine producing speci­ fication power as installed in the Model 600N helicopter with either the stan­ dard engine air inlet screen or optional particle separator inlet. The primary purpose of this chart is its use as an engine performance trending tool to aid in determining whether the engine is producing specification power, or if engine power deterioration has occurred.

NOTE: Power check data taken at regular intervals should be plotted to monitor trends in engine condition. See Rolls−Royce 250−C47M Series Operation and Maintenance Manual for additional information on trend analysis. The power check chart is based on the following conditions: Aircraft in a stabilized hover Cabin heat and engine anti-ice OFF Particle separator SCAV AIR OFF 40 amperes electrical load Engine bleed valve closed

NOTE: Reset altimeter if required after obtaining pressure altitude.

Use Of Chart: The primary use of the chart is illustrated by the example below. To deter­ mine power check values, it is necessary to read and record engine TORQUE PRESSURE, TURBINE OUTLET TEMPERATURE, PRESSURE ALTITUDE, and OAT while the helicopter is in a stabilized hover.

NOTE: The following example assumes a MD 600N with optional particle separator inlet installed. Example: DATA OBTAINED DURING HOVERING: Torque = 400 Q TOT = 640°C PA = 3000 feet OAT = 25°C METHOD: 1. Enter the bottom right of the chart at 400 Q. Move up along the 400 Q line to the 3000 foot pressure altitude curve. Move left to the solid 25°C OAT line; now move down and read specification TOT of approximately 654°C. 2. Compare the specification TOT of 654°C with the TOT observed during flight (640°C for this example). The TOT that was observed is lower than the specification TOT. If the TOT observed had been higher than the speci­ fication TOT read from the chart, some power deterioration will have oc­ curred and the performance data given in this manual may not be obtained.

NOTE: When trend check procedures indicate engine power deterioration, refer to the Rolls−Royce Operation and Maintenance Manual for corrective action.
