Hi Steve,

The old "1 jumps over 2 (to 3)" trick was used on various Canon plugs such as P-2 switch, fuel cock etc. into fooling the engine into thinking those components were working right and allowing you a "correct" start, especially in cold weather when condensation froze insdide them. Used to get home!

Please explain the 1jumps over 2 trick

Steve

Does anyone have wiring diagrams for the 3130? Are they supposed to be in the Vol 1 & 2 of the maintenance manual or in their own separate Volume?

Alouette III turbine
 

Any place where I could find a good used turbine for my Alouette III 319?

There's an outfit in Southern California that has a bunch of A-III's and parts. Try Wayne Fulton at Airborne Turbine Ltd., 805 594-0726. email is [email protected]

I talked to Wayne about a year and a half ago when I was looking at both the A-II and A-III. I recently got an A-II.

Alouette/Lama rotor head cables
 

Please could someone explain the purpose of the cables running between the blade grips on the Alouette/Lama series?

Thus:

They're called blade spacing cables, I believe and that's what they do basically; limit the amount of lead-lag of each blade, and the rate is controlled by the dampers.

Someone correct me if I've got that wrong? Thx ~ VFR

That's exactly what they are, perfect explanation aswell vfr:ok:

Thank you...:D

Alouette II training
 

For those of you that have had military or civil training in the Alouette II can you run through the autorotation proceedures and hovering auto proceedures. Include whether or not you reduced or cut power and how you did it and re-established it. I'm also curious as to how a practice auto goes with no power reduction during the recovery. Specifically is there any engine stress (temp wise) during the power recovery? I'm not sure exactly what the title of this YouTube clip says but it's called "Piantate motore dall'overing elicottero SA313B". It's obvious they are doing hovering autos but not sure exactly who's doing what in the cockpit. Thanks in advance.

Alouette II Artouste II C-6 starting problem
 

Ahhh!!!?? Looks like my beloved Alouette thread has fallen off the thread pages again. Anyway, my Artouste II C-6 has decided not to start. All of the lights light correctly and I have done the atomization and spark checks = OK. I get about a 60-70 rise in EGT (T-4) but it hangs at around 100*C and the lights all stay on. Now I know I'm supposed to abort the start at around 10 seconds with no normal rise in T-4 but the clock is spinning and I'm looking at a lot of indications so I usually don't get is shut off until about 15-20 seconds. The book says look at the idle jet. Does anyone have experience that would suggest otherwise?

Note: I moved this thread to: Starting Problem Artouste C-6 for more specific input. Thanks to all who offered assistance.

Alouette II -technical
 

A bit random and I may be shouting at the traffic but much appreciated if someone can give me the blade tip width of the Alouette II (in mm if possible). Making some tie-downs and I've lost my tec file on this one:uhoh:

This answer may be long overdue but better late than never...
Blade tip width for the Alouette II is 266mm :ok:

I found your request for an Alouette manual in the forum.
Was your search successfull???
I urgently am looking for a flight manual for an Alouette II (serial no SN 1227, SUD AVIATION, SE 3130), which is hangared in South Africa and may be available for charter. With no turbine experience I'd like to see into the manual before I engage in a rating-process.
Thanks for your help in advance

Try Base 4 Aviation | Cape Town Flight Schools | Western Cape Flight Schools

The CFI is Frank Peters Hollenberg and he used to instruct on Alouette IIs and Alouette IIIs in the South African Air force. In fact I can personally assure you that he is one of the best, yet laid-back instructors on this planet.

If he can't source technical data for Alouettes himself, he'll almost certainly know someone who can.

Do yourself the biggest favour ever and go to get some instruction from him in Cape Town. A perfect gentleman of the old school and author of a fascinating little book "Helicopter Odyssey".

Watch out
 

Airborne Turbine is bad news. Stiffed a company in South Africa for a lot of money. Even stiffed his neighbor! FAA has been on him, he has legal actions going on. He gives this "Born Again Act" but don't fall for it. I have been there also.

captyankee-----Are you currently flying an Alouette II or have access to one?

Airborne Turbine
 

You should check your facts about the South Africa deal. Was it the SA341F2 or the AIII?

I have only heard good things about Wayne.

If that's true, please private msg me the details and I will check it out.

Thanks.

Maintenance Work Cards
 

Does anyone have a source for a set of Maintenance Work Cards for the Alouette II?

Air Intake Covers
 

Would anybody perhaps know what kind of a difference the Air Intake ( In link below ) covers make for noise reduction? I have seen these covers on a few Lama's and was wondering if they could be fitted to a SE313O to assist with noise reduction? I am assuming they are for noise reduction, maybe they serve another purpose?

Trying to locate Alouette III parts
 

I have an Alouette III 316 with the Artouste engine that is being refurbished for static display in a local air museum. the aircraft that we are trying to recreate requires some additional parts and modifications. If anyone is aware of the following parts, please contact me.

1. Tapered Main Blade Pin (p/n 3130S12-20-052-1)
2. Exhaust Nozzle Assy (p/n 3160S50-20-050-1)
3. Cabin Heat Connector - connects to exhaust nozzle, unknown part number - see image below
4. Clutch Unit Assy (p/n 3160S63-20-000-7)
5. Shaft, Free-wheel Coupling (3160S60-10-000-2)
6. Extended Steps (2) - left and right side, unknown part numbers - see image below
7. Artouste 111B Solid Air Intake Covers (2 not wire mesh) - left and right side, unknown part numbers - see image below

Also, if there are any manuals for the airframe or operations that exist in electronic form, those would be helpful as well.

Yes, these can be with high time T/R hubs or after a long day in air, when all the grease in T/R sleeves has flown away.

Extremely reliable,with my previous previous employer, we operated about 30 Alts and equal no of Lamas since 1971, only one engine failure, that too due to water contaminated fuel.

Above 28000 rpm and fuel flow lever full fwd, a micro switch disables engine selector switch

I consider this a vital info as the engine selector switch is right there in the middle of the panel and could be moved fairly easily by accident.


Thanks for your time guys!
