COPY SA 341 Gazelle Helicopter Instruction Manual | eBay UK

i have all the manuals MDE,IPC,PMV, for cvil gazelles

Thanks for that MD 600. I had already seen it and winced at the price especially as it's a copy. Then there's the freight!!!!!

I found the engine notes at a more reasonable 38 dollars on disc.

Thanks anyway.

Wot? No naked ladies??!!!

Sadly not, must be their humour, if you look under armoured and at the £15 grand bulletproof jags you will see all the Gazelles lined up in one picture

New Life for the Gaz?

The 'new' panel

The flight manual supplement with this equipment installed reads:

IMPORTANT NOTE: With co-pilot surveillance-control joy-stick extended, pilot manoeuvres are restricted to left-hand turns only. The PIC should ensure that prior to extension of the co-pilot's surveillance-control joy-stick, no manoeuvres involving right-hand cyclic applications are required. ;)

We are looking to sell these as is direct from storage.
It will be the purchasers responsibility to return these aircraft to airworthiness. All aircraft hours and component times Etc. are on RAM and we have these on disc which we can provide for all of the aircraft for a deposit of £50 which is refundable on a purchase of one or a number of aircraft.
We have a guide price of £75,000 to £175,000 but there will be several cheaper ones suitable for spares or rebuild. Our preferance would be to sell the whole lot as one batch with a quantity of approx 120 spare blades. We would be looking for offers around £2,000,000.
If you are expecting to export a full export licence with an end user declaration is required which normally takes 8 to 10 weeks to obtain.
The helicopters are available to be viewed at our facility

Than our question was:

Out of that number, how many are with more that 300 h on remain time resources?

Regards

About week ago, still no answer :sad:
Just like to let you, fellows, know about that .....

this is ridiculous!!! don't belive it :ugh: :=

Seams there's a limit of putting hi-tech gadgets on this 40+ lady.
No right-hand turns for a combat theatre machine!? Ridiculous at least :)

Well done, Savoia :O

Can't find a "donkey smilie" to illustrate my feeling :)

ERIC THE FERRET

I attended the training school at Aerospatiale in 1986.

I have a "as new condition" flight instruction manual and a copy of the maintenance training notes for SA341G.

FREE if you want them.

Gazelle flight instruction manual

I'd be very interested in the flight instruction manual if that's available.
I fly the Gazelle and have been trying for years, without success, to get hold of a copy.
Not the maintenance training notes - I have to leave technical stuff to the experts!

Qinetiq and Northrop Offer Unmanned Gazelle to UK

http://http://www.uasvision.com/2011/09/20/qinetiq-and-northrop-offer-unmanned-gazelle-to-uk/

Qinetiq has joined forces with Northrop Grumman to offer what it has described as a low-cost, short-term solution for an emerging Royal Navy requirement to field a vertical take-off and landing unmanned aircraft system (VTUAS).The companies are proposing a demonstration programme which would take one of the UK’s Eurocopter Gazelle light helicopters and equip it with the vehicle management system equipment from the US Navy’s Northrop MQ-8B Fire Scout.
Use of the aircraft over the next few years would help inform the navy’s requirements and decision-making process, as it seeks to acquire an operational VTUAS post-2020, said Jeremy Howitt, Qinetiq’s assistant technical director, avionics. The proposal would modify a Gazelle light helicopter with the vehicle management system equipment from the US Navy’s Northrop MQ-8B Fire Scout. ”Using the Gazelle as a platform makes sense – it’s a proven system with low support and operating costs. We could bring in a capability a lot sooner than the navy currently believes is possible,” he said.
Qinetiq would be responsible for programme management and integration activities under the proposal, which would also include flight test activities from the West Wales UAV Centre at Aberporth. ”Unmanning an aircraft is the relatively easy part. The difficult part is providing the multiple levels of redundancy and failure management required that allows you to deliver military effect,” he added. ”We could do an initial demonstration within 12 months, and within the order of £10 million [$15.8 million],” Howitt said at the Defence & Security Equipment International (DSEi) exhibition in London.
Some discussions have been held with senior navy officials, but funding is not yet in place for the service’s proposed tactical maritime UAS programme. If advanced, this could deliver an operational capability by around 2024.
Northrop has already repackaged its mission equipment for the Fire Scout – which has recently been operated over Afghanistan and Libya – for integration with the Bell 407, to deliver a future MQ-8C capability to the US Navy. The service recently announced plans to buy 28 of the new aircraft, which Northrop said will have an operating endurance of almost 15 hours.
