PROCEDURE 5: CORRECTING TAIL ROTOR BALANCE
NOTE
If adding weight, weigh attaching hardware using a gram
scale and add the balance weights as required to attain
predetermined weight. Heaviest total weight is 113.5
grams (4 oz.) per bolt hole or a maximum of 227 grams
(8 oz.) per quadrant. Ensure screw has at least 1-1/2
threads exposed beyond nut.
If removing weight, place all existing weights (only from
quadrant being adjusted) and attaching hardware on
gram scale and remove balance washers as required to
attain predetermined weight.
Ensure AN960C416 washers are between balance
washers and retention plate to prevent contact between
balance washers and radius on retention plate.
Correction display refers to the quadrants as TARGET
(the quadrant that follows the blade with the tape on it),
2, 3 and 4, in direction of blade rotation.
a.
Install attaching bolt, washers, nut and balance weights to assigned quadrant as shown in figure 15. Install
half of the weights under the bolt head and the remaining weights under the nut.
b.
Torque nut from 90 to 100 inch-pounds.
c.
Repeat task 6 and verify results.
d.
Make appropriate logbook entry indicating that tail rotor balance was completed and is within limits.
e.
Remove test equipment.
