6.5.2 Method
of
Compliance
Compliance with the requirements of this section can often be obtained for the VFR
condition without any specific or designated flight testing. Demonstrate that the aircraft can
be satisfactorily flown throughout the maximum endurance capabilities of the rotorcraft
including night and turbulence conditions if those are critical. This test should be
conducted with minimum required systems in the aircraft and with minimum flight crew.
Compliance for this requirement will be evaluated throughout the test program.
6.5.3 Findings
Satisfactory _________
6.6 FAR § 29.251 Vibration
6.6.1 Applicable
Regulation
Each part of the rotorcraft must be free from excessive vibration under each
appropriate speed and power condition.
6.6.2 Method
of
Compliance
This flight requirement may be both a qualitative and quantitative flight evaluation.
Section 29.571(a) contains the flight load survey requirement that results in accumulation
of vibration quantitative data. Section 29.629 generally requires quantitative data to show
freedom from flutter for each part of the rotorcraft including control or stabilizing surfaces
and rotors.
The aircraft should have a good track & balance for this evaluation. The airspeed
should evaluated at 20 kt increments out to the RFM VNE speed. Variations in rotor RPM
expected in normal flight should be evaluated. Changes in vibration are best sensed in the
cyclic and pedal controls. The stability of the camera/sensor image will be a good indicator.
The pilot will make a subjective evaluation of the difference between the mount and
sensor / camera/ light payload and the clean configuration is the evaluation point.
Compliance with this requirement will be evaluated during testing of FAR §29.143
Controllability and Maneuverability.
