CAUTION
Damage to the main rotor blade and aft fuselage can result due
to the reduction in clearance between the two with the tracking
reflectors installed. The condition is amplified by the flexing of
the blades that occur during an autorotation touchdown.
Intentional full touchdown autorotations with blade tracking
reflectors installed on blade tips.
NOTE: Main rotor blade tracking reflectors are installed for main-
tenance flights only as dictated in the Handbook of Maintenance
Instructions.
2-3. FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS
Alternate air door (if equipped) must be open and engine anti-ice
must be ON for all operations in visible moisture and temperatures at
or below 5°C.
After alternate air door is selected for operations in visible moisture
at or below 5°C, the door must remain open until after landing and
the primary air inlet and the forward and aft bulkheads located at the
rear station of the engine bellmouth are inspected and cleared of ice
accumulation.
Minimum Operating Temperature
The operation of the Model 269D has been demonstrated after
prolonged exposure to -17.8°C (0°F) ground ambient temperature,
which was the minimum temperature achieved in cold weather
testing.
Whenever the helicopter has been parked outside or has been
exposed to blowing or falling snow, determine that the engine inlet
area and all helicopter exterior surfaces are completely free of
accumulation of ice and snow.
Flight operation is permitted at night only when landing, navigation,
instrument and anticollision lights are installed and operable.
