not sure if anyone has seen the fire extinguisher ad but several countries have it out,
Avionews - Agenzia stampa del settore aeronautico, elicotteristico, aerospaziale e della difesa |
there is an AD out on the tailboom antenna area.
Ad calls for a paste, its called Pentrox A13. cheapest by FAR is an electrical wholesalers vs manufacturer.
I got it for about 20 dollars. OE is 800 or more. I think they refer to it as Pene A 13 in the catalogue. |
120 in film
So
Now that the trailer is out for "We still kill the old way" - my machine makes a departure from 27 sec into the trailer. And that's a G2 tail over the right shoulder of the watchers. Fame at last. OK, hopefully more in the actual film! |
After some time I'm getting back into 120 and I'm amazed at the training manual. What's important is not there, what isn't really, all there in detail.
One can get confused on very basic stuff: P2 is actually P3 T4 is actually T4,5 Come on, which is which already?! Anyway, does anybody have Arrius 2F manual available in a pdf - hoping for more reason from Turbomeca itself. |

We have a problem with our GEN light stays on, we replaced the generator, main electric box, even the lacu, but the problems still exists. We tried our parts on another EC120, no problem. Checked all the cabling for grounding/corrosion issues, nothing. Note the helicopter had been sitting in the hanger for 5 months.
Any ideas ...... all you need to do is press/roll the little ball switch with your finger to pop it back out after you’ve started the engine and generator starts. 👍 |
T45 conformation box
we had the same problem and replaced the circuit board in our T45 conformation box- fixed the problem!
thanks to those who contributed to this forum 20 years ago who provided the answer!

Hello everyone,
I though you might be interested how we finally fixed our T45 temp problem: It was the Confirmation box!! The bad news is, it was a intermident failure! The "fun" part being the -intermident-!! You check the damn thing according to the maintenance manual it checks out just fine! The final tip came from Australia - thanks Frogspawn!!:D After a couple of e-mails across the world with some Turbomeca-techs, we eliminated all possible causes. Actually nothing was left! In Australia there was a similar case so we just gambled on it! Voila! Also considering the normal prices in this business, the confirmation box is a rather lowprice item! Thanks again for all the tips! Frogspawn, your man came up with the right idea!! 3top :ok: |
I have received a rating on an EC120 and found it to be a very pleasant aircraft to fly until you dump the Hydraulics.
I would describe the cyclic force required as twice that of an AS350BA/B2. You have to push hard forward and right, and does not vary in pressure when you slow down for a run-on. I had to tighten my seat belt and brace my arm to stop me from being pushed out of the seat. I felt like I was going to bend the control tubes. The instructor believed this was normal for this type, but I feel this is excessive for such a light machine. Could anyone with experience with multiple EC120s confirm that this is a normal trait? |
I have over 5,500 hours on my EC120, and I think you may have had a control error or a misaligned weight distribution. My total flight time is nearly 12,000 hours.
