TASK 4 - TRACK MAIN ROTOR IN FIGHT
CAUTION
If tail rotor requires balancing, task 5 (Balance Tail
Rotor) should be accomplished before flight.
Main rotor in-flight vertical tracking should be performed when any of the following occurs:
• 1/REV in-flight vertical vibration is unacceptable.
• Changes have been made to the track of one or more main rotor blades as a result of performing ground tracking
adjustments. See task 2.
PROCEDURE 1: EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION
NOTE
Aircraft ground track and balance specified requirements
(tasks 2 and 3) are to be completed prior to performing
in-flight Test States.
a. Install test equipment (refer to task 1).
b. Turn on DAU.
c. Turn on CADU.
PROCEDURE 2: PERFORM FLIGHT MEASUREMENTS
a. Press QUIT on the CADU until all selections are undefined.
b. Use cursor keys to highlight Aircraft Type, then press DO.
c. Use cursor keys to highlight aircraft type based on table 2, then press DO.
d. Tail Number is highlighted. Press DO.
e. Use cursor keys to highlight a tail number or enter a new tail number (up to seven characters), then press DO.
f. Flight Plan is highlighted. Press DO.
g. Use cursor keys to highlight FLIGHT. Press DO.
h. Enter the Measure mode by pressing F1. Verify that Test State FPG100 is highlighted.
WARNING
If main rotor 1/REV vibration becomes objectionable,
acquire data normally through the highest airspeed
at which vibration can be tolerated. Do not skip test
conditions, data should be taken from ground to the
highest airspeed possible. After data is taken at the
highest speed achieved, press QUIT then highlight
“Save and Exit” and then press DO. Land the
aircraft and perform corrections suggested by the
CADU prior to further flight.
i. Press DO when the aircraft is stable at the highlighted selection. Re-verify that the aircraft is at the required
Test State (FPG100, Hover, 100K, 120K, 135K, CLIMB, or L/DOWN) and press DO again. Perform this
operation each time a measurement is completed and another Test State is highlighted. The AVA will acquire
track and vibration data at each Test State and then return to the selection menu.
j. After the last measurement is completed, press DO on Finish, then press DO on Diagnostics. If measurements
are within specified limits, press QUIT to Main Menu and go to step o.
k. If measured values exceed specifications, press DO to calculate a solution. Evaluate the improvements
obtainable through recommended corrections. Perform corrections as shown, ensuring that you display all
screens of a multiple screen solution.
