1.2 HELICOPTER OPERATING PUBLICATIONS
As pilots and technicians, you will have to service, fly or maintain a new helicopter. To allow you to perform your tasks
as safely and as efficiently as possible, you will be given a set of manuals that methodically set down the rules and
instructions for maintenance, and the limitations and the procedures specified by the manufacturer - none of which
can be ignored without risk. ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND THAT:
- a limitation cannot be unaccountably exceeded,
- the service life limit of a part is not just a theoretical consideration,
- a maintenance instruction often has more effect than meets the eye,
- and last of all, never forget that ... IMPROVISATION OF ANY KIND IS BANNED.
The helicopter technical publications include:

List the inspection intervals (CHK) and the service life limits (SLL) certifie by the Civilian Aviation Authorities
( 2 ) Intervals and Operating time limits (chapter 05-10)

Describe the limits of utilisation of the spare parts, structure,equipments or assemblies according to 3 criterions:
a- OTL (Operating Time Limit) limits define by the manufacturer for one item.
b- TBO (Time Between Overhaul) limits define by the manufacturer for an assembly between overhaul.
c- OC (On Condition) on condition limits inspection according to specific criterions.
( 3 ) Maintenace Operations (chapter 05-20)

1.6 AIRFRAME REFERENCE POINTS
1.6.1 HELICOPTER DATUM REFERENCES
The helicopter datums are specified in the 3 planes X, Y

and Z.
• X is the datum for the longitudinal dimensions. Its

origin is 3.40 m forward of the main rotor center, per-
pendicular to the helicopter centerline.
• Y is the datum for the lateral dimensions. Its origin is in

the helicopter's plane of symmetry.
Rotor hub axis tilted
2° forward
• Z is the reference for the vertical dimensions. Its origin
is a horizontal plane located 2.60 m above the cabin
floor datum.
1.6.2 JACKING AND LEVELING
The helicopter is raised on jacks placed at the 3 jacking

points integral with the structure.
The level is checked using a clinometer resting on a Straightedge

straightedge supported by 2 Vee blocks and aligned lon-
gitudinally and laterally on the transmission deck.
The Z datum plane is horizontal when the clinometer Clinometer
reads as follows:
0° laterally and -2° longitudinally
Vee blocks

1.6.3 WEIGHING AND C.G. LOCATION
Although the helicopter is weighed when it leaves the

factory, the user may wish to check the weight after major RH lateral c.g. limit
modifications.
When the helicopter is leveled, the 3 jacks are placed on
weighing cells. LH lateral c.g. limit
The helicopter weight is recorded in the Weight Logbook
as the sum of the weights measured at each jacking
point.
The center of gravity (c.g.) position of the empty heli-

copter is determined by calculating the moments (i.e.
weight multiplied by the jacking point distance from the
X, Y datums). The c.g. position must be such that it will
be within the c.g. limits specified for takeoff and landing
in the Flight Manual for the helicopter type.
