Deflection of tyres should not exceed 68 mm.
(6) Inspect the main rotor blades to make sure that they are free from visible
damage. Check whether the blades spars are pressurized (the pressure
indicator strip should be sunk).
(7) Inspect the tail rotor to make sure that its hub and blades are free from
damage and from ice and snow in winter time. Check the level and color
of oil in the blade feathering hinge sight gauges (the oil level in the sight
gauge should be at the mark level with the blade leading edge facing
down).
(8) Check the oil levels in the intermediate and tail rotor gearboxes by read-
ing the respective sight gauges. The oil level should be between the
marks made on the sight gauges.
(9) Check the fuselage, tail boom and pylon, stabilizer, tail bumper fittings for
condition.
(10) Make sure the cargo doors are reliably closed.
(11) Inspect the LH fuel tank and the LH main LG shock strut following the
same procedure as for the RH main LG shock strut.
(12) Inspect the sliding door and make sure it is locked reliably in the closed
position.
(13) Make sure that the portable fire extinguishers are installed in the cargo
compartment.
(14) Check the helicopter loading for compliance with the anticipated flight
mission.
(15) Make sure that the cargo is placed in accordance with the balancing
marks made on the cargo compartment wall and check the cargo for reli-
able tie-down.
(16) Make sure that the helicopter takeoff weight does not exceed the maxi-
mum takeoff weight derived from the graph.
(17) Remove the covers from the engines air intakes, the shields of the fan
and exhaust pipes, and make sure that they are free from damage and
foreign objects.
(18) Open the engines, main gearbox and AlI1-9B APU cowlings.
(19) Inspect the dust protection devices fairings and check them for reliable

tachment.
(20) Remove the shields from the AlI1-9B APU air intake and exhaust pipes to
make sure that they are free from visible damage and foreign objects.
(21) Inspect the inlet section and compressor blades of the AlI1-9B APU.
(22) Check the oil level in the engines oil tanks which should be between the
FULL (RORHO) and LOW (AORELI1) marks ofthe sight gauge.
(23) Check the oil level in the main gearbox by the sight gauge which should
be between the gauge glass marks.
(24) Check the oil level in the AlI1-9B APU oil tank which should be between
the FULL (RORHO) and LOW (AORELI1) marks.
(25) Check the AMf-10 fluid level in the hydraulic system reservoirs Which
should be at the upper mark of the dipstick.
(26) Check the AMf-10 fluid level in the hydraulic dampers compensation tank
which should be between the upper and lower marks.
