Copyright of RotorSport UK Ltd Document number RSUK0396 1. INTRODUCTION This addendum to Pilots Handbook RSUK0043 describes the operational requirements for the ferry-tank system first installed in G-CHIT in May 2017. Section 2 describes how the ferry-tank and pipework system is installed, and must be re-installed after temporary removal ... - Page 6 Copyright of RotorSport UK Ltd Document number RSUK0396 The photographs below show the approved installation method which should be followed at all times. Before lifting the ferry tank into position the seat back and cushion (which must be left in place) should be carefully inspected to ensure there is no debris that may damage the bladder.
- Page 7 Copyright of RotorSport UK Ltd Document number RSUK0396 Adjustable width strap Protection sleeve Tank collapsed to 10 litres remaining (Minimum level to ensure that the shape is suitable for retention in the seat) When the ferry tank has been filled (see Turtle-Pac instructions) all straps should be pulled tight and the protection sleeves used to protect the bladder from excess pressure from the seat-harness buckles.
- Page 8 Copyright of RotorSport UK Ltd Document number RSUK0396 2.2. Ferry tank connections The output from the ferry tank is fitted with a quick-release/self-sealing connector. The mating quick-release/self-sealing connector is fitted to a stub-pipe attached to the fuel transfer tap. Quick-release is achieved by pressing the metal tab on the female connector.
- Page 9 Copyright of RotorSport UK Ltd Document number RSUK0396 The fuel delivery pipe exits from the underside of the ferry tank and lies naturally around the profile of the seat cushion. After passing through the quick-release connector and fuel transfer tap the pipe runs downwards and backwards to a fitting in the top of the right-hand aircraft tank.

The aircraft may be flown with the tank removed provided the transfer tap is in the closed position and the seat belts and cushions are secured in the normal way. (See Pilots Handbook RSUK0043 for further information on fuel management with a standard aircraft configuration).

- Page 12 Copyright of RotorSport UK Ltd Document number RSUK0396 4. OPERATIONAL LIMITS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 4.1 Introduction The published limits for operation with the ferry tank installed are unchanged from those in the MTOsport Pilots Handbook RSUK0043 Issue 9. However, the pilot is reminded that as the fuel is extracted from the ferry tank, the tank becomes increasingly slack in the harness.
- Page 13 Copyright of RotorSport UK Ltd Document number RSUK0396 4.4. Pre-flight checks In addition to the items in the check-list provided in POH RSUK0043, the following should be checked before flight: Inspect the security of all straps and harnesses Inspect the bladder for damage, leaking or weeping fuel.
