re contract, i belive onshore...telikuma?? juswt got info from a mate in cairns that one ST was on the line at the airport.... thinking it's now on the way?
Hi guys, I need some help trying to find some info on a Bell 214. Does flying with bubble doors/windows result in any air speed restrictions? I can't seem to find it in the flight manual...
It's not for a job, I was lucky enough to be given a copy and I wanted to learn more about them - my curiosity's getting the better of me. It's a B1 model.
I've got a few more questions about these awesome machines.
The maximum rate of climb is limited to 2000ft/min. Is this a strtuctural limit? e.g. Main GB stress limit or a Parasite Drag etc? I've never been in anything powerful enough to have a limit as such.
Why does the HYD System 1 run cooler? Does System 1 have less load, have longer piping or similar (which inadvertantly aids in heat conduction)??
When do the secondary nozzles open during starting? When N1 is 37%?
I don't expect them all to be answered, but nay help is greatly appreciated.
Maximum rate of climb - think ballistics, how long will you wait after the engine fails for gravity to take over and enter autorotation? 6-7000 fpm can be achieved. i.e > 60 knots. Also it is possible for the greenhouse windows above your head to fall in on you.
HYD is similar to 212/412 the pump is turning faster. Design thing, the second pump came along later and is driven from a different part of the MGB.
When do the secondary nozzles open? Who cares, just that they do.
B1 means reduced internal gross weight over B and is only a flight manual change to be technically under 12,500 lbs.
Yes ... the Hyd System 1 pump runs quite a bit slower (by nearly 2000 rpm I think) and as it also operates the Yaw system Hydraulics has more pipe work and thus runs much cooler.
