SUMMARY OF CHANGES

2. Overview
The 25 September 2009 Operator’s Manual is a new revision. The following brief itemizes the significant changes. It does not capture smaller changes that comprise of editing fixes or verbiage corrections that did not change the original meaning of the subject. New specific verbiage is highlighted in blue font throughout the brief.

3. Chapter 1
No changes

4. Chapter 2 2.3 UH-60A WITH T700-GE-701D/CC ENGINES. Added Paragraph:
H−60A+ Some UH-60A helicopters have been modified by replacing the T700-GE-700 with T700-GE-701D/CC engines. This modification also added upgraded Inlet Anti-Ice valves, cross bleed shutoff valves and couplings that withstand the higher bleed air temperatures of the new engine. An additional Nr sensor mounted on the accessory gearbox and a third potentiometer installed on the mixing unit provide transient droop improvement. Automatic relight is provided by the addition of relays in the cabin overhead. The Central Display Unit (CDU) has been replaced with a UH-60L CDU to provide T700-GE-701D/CC engine parameters.

5. Chapter 2 Emergency override should only be used
Added new warning and paragraph verbiage:
APU Fuel Control System (Helicopters equipped with *T-62T-40-1 APU).
Emergency override should only be used
under actual emergency conditions. APU
Faults must be corrected as soon as possible
after discovery.
* This paragraph also includes new verbiage on the Hamilton Sundstrand APU T-62T-40 series and its two different types of controllers (ESU vs. DESU).

27. Chapter 9 9.5 EMERGENCY EXITS. Warning was replaced: Old Warning:
New Warning:
The cyclic shall be held at all times with
the rotor turning. In cases where
emergency exit is required prior to rotor
coasting to a stop, make sure that the
cyclic stick is centered until the last
crewmember can depart the cockpit.
Since the main rotor shaft has a 3°
forward tilt, an exit to the right rear or
left rear will provide the greatest rotor
clearance safety.
For helicopters with a non-operational
roll-trim actuator, the cyclic shall be
continuously held while on the ground
with rotor turning. In cases where
emergency exit is required prior to rotor
coasting to a stop, make sure that the
cyclic stick is centered until the last
crewmember can depart the cockpit.
Since the main rotor shaft has a 3°
forward tilt, an exit to the right rear or
left rear will provide the greatest rotor
clearance safety.

28. Chapter 9 9.22 ROTORS, TRANSMISSIONS, AND DRIVE SYSTEMS.
Tail Rotor Malfunctions - General
Four comprehensive paragraphs describing in detail both Loss of Thrust and Fixed Pitch TR malfunctions has been added to this section. The next slide will cover an outline of the main points in the verbiage but all crewmembers must read the section in detail.

29. Chapter 9 Two general categories of tail rotor malfunctions:
1. Loss of Tail Rotor Thrust
2. Fixed Pitch
1. Loss of Tail Rotor Thrust:
a. Caused by failure of TR gearbox, INT gearbox, or TR driveshaft
b. Aircraft behavior (right yaw and nose pitch down attitude rates) depending on low or high airspeeds
c. Autorotation considerations
d. Danger of large sideslip angles
e. Headwind and quartering crosswind considerations for heading control.

30. Chapter 9 Two general categories of tail rotor malfunctions:
1. Loss of Tail Rotor Thrust
2. Fixed Pitch
2. FIXED PITCH:
a. Caused by Jam, Binding, Failure of TR quadrant
b. Aircraft behavior depending on the amount of anti-torque applied ,GWT, forward airspeed, altitude
c. Fixed Right Pedal/Decreased Power condition
d. Fixed Left Pedal/Increased Power condition
e. Headwind and quartering crosswind considerations for heading control.

31. Chapter 9 9.22.1 Loss of Tail Rotor Thrust in Cruise Flight.
If autorotation entry is delayed, large sideslip angles can develop causing low indicated airspeed with the stabilator programming down. This will make it more difficult to establish or maintain adequate autorotative airspeed.
1. Airspeed - Adjust to 80 KIAS or above.
2. AUTOROTATE - Maintain airspeed at or
above 80 KIAS.
3. ENG POWER CONT levers - OFF (during deceleration when intended point of landing is assured).

32. Chapter 9
Loss of Tail Rotor Thrust or TAIL ROTOR QUADRANT Caution Appears with Loss of Control at Low Airspeed/Hover (Right Rotation).
Loss of tail rotor thrust at low airspeed may result in extreme yaw angles and uncontrolled rotation to the right. Immediate collective pitch reduction must be initiated to reduce the yaw and begin a controlled rate of descent. If the helicopter is high enough above the ground, initiate a power-on descent. Collective should be adjusted so that an acceptable compromise between rate of turn and rate of descent is maintained. At approximately 5 to 10 feet above touchdown, initiate a hovering autorotation by moving the ENG POWER CONT levers - OFF.

33. Chapter 9
Loss of Tail Rotor Thrust or TAIL ROTOR QUADRANT Caution Appears with Loss of Control at Low Airspeed/Hover (Right Rotation).
CON’T:
1. Collective - Reduce.
2. ENG POWER CONT levers – OFF (5 to 10 feet above touchdown.

34. Chapter 9 If the helicopter is shut down and/or
TAIL ROTOR QUADRANT Caution Appears in Cruise Flight.
If the helicopter is shut down and/or
hydraulic power is removed with one tail
rotor cable failure, disconnection of the
other tail rotor cable will occur when
force from the boost servo cannot react
against control cable quadrant spring
tension. The quadrant spring will
displace the cable and boost servo piston
enough to unlatch the quadrant cable.

35. Chapter 9
TAIL ROTOR QUADRANT Caution Appears in Cruise Flight.
CON’T:
a. Loss of one tail rotor cable will be indicated by appearance of the TAIL ROTOR QUADRANT caution. No change in handling characteristics should occur if only one cable fails.
b. If both tail rotor control cables fail, a centering spring will position the tail rotor servo linkage to provide 101⁄2 degrees of pitch. This will allow trimmed flight at about 25 KIAS up to 145 KIAS (these speeds will vary with gross weight). At airspeed below 25 and above 145 KIAS, right yaw can be controlled by reducing collective.
Between 25 and 145

36. Chapter 9

1. Collective – Adjust to determine controllability
(Fixed Right or Left).
2. LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE.

37. Chapter 9
TAIL ROTOR QUADRANT Caution Appears or Loss of Control at Low Airspeed/Hover (Left Rotation).
CON’T:
1. ENG POWER CONT lever(s) – Retard to begin a partial power descent).
2. Collective – Adjust to preserve RPM R.
3. ENG POWER CONT levers – OFF (5 to 10 feet above touchdown.
4. Collective – Adjust for landing.

2. Collective – Adjust to preserve RPM R.
3. ENG POWER CONT levers – OFF (5 to 10 feet above touchdown.
4. Collective – Adjust for landing.

38. Chapter 9
Pedal Bind/Restriction or Drive With No Accompanying Caution. A malfunction within the yaw boost servo or tail rotor servo can produce much higher force at the pedals and the affected servo must be turned off. A hardover failure of the yaw boost servo will increase control forces as much as 250 pounds on the pedals.
1. Apply pedal force to oppose the drive.
2. Check other pedals for proper operation.
3. TAIL SERVO switch – BACKUP.
If normal control authority is not restored:

39. Chapter 9

6. BOOST switch - ON.
7. Collective – Adjust to determine controllability
for landing.
8. LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE.

41. 9.25.4 #1 or #2 FUEL PRESS Caution Appears.
Chapter 9
#1 or #2 FUEL PRESS Caution Appears.
Consideration must be given to any suspected fuel system compromise. If a compromise is suspected, the pilot must make every attempt to avoid or reduce the possibility of an ignition source. A fuel leak occurring in the oil cooler access area may result in fuel and/or fumes accumulating in or around the APU/engine
compartments. In such cases, APU/engine operation may result in fire.

42. Chapter 9 make rapid collective movements. Critical situations are
#1 or #2 FUEL PRESS Caution Appears.
CON’T
a. If the caution appears, flameout is possible. Do not
make rapid collective movements. Critical situations are
those where single engine flight is not possible, and the
potential for fire resulting from a fuel leak is secondary to
engine flameout.

43. Chapter 9 9.25.4 #1 or #2 FUEL PRESS Caution Appears. CON’T
