Section V
PERFORMANCE DATA
5-1. PERFORMANCE DATA
This section contains helicopter performance information as defined
within certain conditions such as airspeed, weight, altitude,
temperature, wind velocity, and engine power available.
See Fig. 5-1 for speed for best rate of climb.
See Fig. 5-2 for hover ceiling in ground effect.
Controllability during downwind hovering, sideward and rearward
flight has been demonstrated to be adequate in winds up to 17 knots.
Indicated airspeed (IAS) corrected for position and instrument error
equals calibrated airspeed (CAS). (See Fig. 5-3, Airspeed Calibration
Curve.)
See Fig. 5-4 for height velocity diagram at sea level.
See Fig. 5-5 for gross weight limitations for height velocity diagram.
See Fig. 5-6 for density altitude chart.
Performance data defined in this section is valid for Model 269D
Helicopter equipped with either 269A1185-1 or 269A1185-5 main
rotor blades.
