FLIGHT MANUAL
.For carrying out a hoisting operation:
-Stabilize the aircraft in hover above the hoisting site
-Ensure that sufficient power reserve is available to permit moving off
in forward flight once the load is hoisted on board
-Set the jib in hoisting position
-Ensure that SLING (ELING) and FLARE (FUS.ECL) functions are not engaged.
-Engage the HOIST (TREUIL) pushbutton on the control console.
The hoist operator can now control the winch. To bring the load
into the cabin, unlock the jib and pivot it inwards.
The snap-hook can be used to hold the load while the hoist cable is being
unhooked.
Do not ~ve off in forward flight until the load is hoisted on board.
.
With "Air Equipement" hoist, when rigid compact loads (over 80 kg -176 lb
post mod AMS 1587) are being hoisted, inconsequential oscillations may
-appear. Operate the hoist.
~ : AIR EQUIPEMENT hoist
Dverheating of the winch motor must be avoided. Consequently
never exceed 6 consecutive hoisting operations plus one
descent with maximum load, and maximum cable reel-ou1: or equivalen1:.
NQ!U : 8REEZE hoi st
After each opera1:ion of the winch (lowering or raising) wait 30
seconds. After 1:hree complete cycles (first lowering with maximum
load; the following two lowerings with no load; plus three
raisings at full load) it is recommended to stop the winch for
forty minutes.
