I think that’s right. I know some Bells just have a friction. No recommending this but have seen it, a pilot would tighten the friction then step out to pee with the aircraft running. Ha!

Thanks my man.

Much appreciated my friend

Thank you

Thank you

Thanks, it’s been busy around here, hopefully soon.

0.1 is the limit while you are doing track and balance flights, the final should be below 0.06. When you adjust the track with PC links or trim tabs the lateral vibration changes. Not by a lot but it will change. The first thing you want to do is check the track on the found and if the vibration is not high then hover the aircraft and check the track and lateral vibration. If the track is good the add weight. If the track is bad the adjust pc links until the track is good then adjust weight if the lateral is out. Then check high speed track and adjust tabs until the track is good. Then check the lateral in a hover again and adjust weights until the vibe is good. All of this info is in my opinion. I hope this helps. Thank you for the comment and watching.

I’ll double check the numbers on the maintenance manual tomorrow and get back to you. Things change a lot as you inow

Sorry for the delay. I see what you’re saying after looking in the manual. To clarify, the lateral vibration limit while performing track and balance operations is 0.4 IPS. And the final lateral vibe limit is a range 0.06-0.1 IPS in a hover in ground effect. The lateral vibe limits at 80 and 120Kts is 0.1 IPS. I reached out to my Airbus tech rep as to why there is a range. I remember the lat limit to be 0.06 in the past, and we would always try to be below that limit. I’ll let you know when I hear back. Regards. HMHD

@ thanks that’s really helpful. I’m reading the AMM and wondering why it’s 0.06-0.1. It’s kinda weird we often get it below .06 IPs

Most everything is on a time limit. So when the helicopter flight time reaches the inspection time then we go out of service. As bad as it sounds, it takes as long as it takes. If you’re doing an inspection and you find some huge problems then it could take a long time. Thanks for your kind words

Ha! Thank you for the kind words

Sorry I missed your comment, almost everything is metric on the EC135’s except the engines. If the engines are Pratt and Whitney then it’s SAE, if the engines are Turbomeca then it’s metric.

So true. That’s why I make these videos.

I appreciate the kind words my friend

Much appreciated. Tech support is great. I’m sure they get annoyed by me sometimes. I try and figure out as much information as possible before I bother them.

Nice

Sounds reasonable

Above the EPU door and maintenance step on the right side of the aircraft is a shore power plug to power/charge the ems medical equipment on the ground. I’m not exactly sure what the AUD 1, 2, and 3 specifically power. It’s definitely the internal Audio/Communications, maybe the front, the back, and the patient audio. Thanks for your input brother.

@@HelicopterMaintenance Does crew uses ems plug on ground often? I ask, cause we don’t have it. Everything is charged from generators or battery. Maybe you have totally different ems stuff. About the second question. If you don’t have VHF, how do you communicate with airport towers and other? Beside VHF and internal intercoms, we also use tactical radio - set to specific frequency, so we can communicate with hospitals, fire fighters and other services when we fly.

@qweq9972 The shore power is just to charge their equipment on the ground between flights. There is also a medical inverter that powers their stuff during flight. Yes we have a VHF radio, separate from internal Comm’s, to talk to the hospitals and ground crew. And and 800 MHz radio for some regions.

The machine i normally work on is a P2+ from 2008. The AC is from Metro, it’s direct drive, the gearbox is mounted on the top of the transmission. Some of the aircraft have the old style flex shaft. I have never seen the Airbus AC. I wonder if it’s better.

Same as your car with compressor and belt .

No idea. I don’t think so if it lasted 20 years

@@HelicopterMaintenance good point

@ericdixon2898 the evap blower motors in the 407 AC fail more frequently. Those have brushes

Thanks. I’m glad you found it helpful.

Hey if you don’t mind saying, where are you? Do you have the Metro AC in your aircraft?

@HelicopterMaintenance I'm from Brazil. We have a limitation in contract. So some kind of roles and equipment there is a enterprise responsible for. The AC is one of those.

@Josasil454 okay, interesting, sounds complicated.

@@HelicopterMaintenance Yes... and really is kkkk

Thanks 👍

Ha! Not sure how many people got the movie reference. It’s UHF, classic, from the 80’s.

I’ll have to check that out.

Thanks for that

I’m glad this helps

You’re right my man, it’s good to have someone to call. Thanks for all your support and comments.

That’s awesome, you made me laugh. Fun tines

Times

Much appreciated my friend. The funny thing about this WAAS stuff was there was nothing in any manual that I could find. Not even the Garmin 430W installation manual. Fun times right!?

@@HelicopterMaintenance kkkk. Yep

Thanks. Be been busy. Should have some in the next week. Appreciate you

Ha!

Thanks.

Much appreciated my friend.

Yeah man, got to check those and put grease in it every once in a while

I’m glad that you found these helpful. Thanks for the kind comments.

Much appreciated! Thanks for the kind words.

No sir. I do not, sorry.

Are you talking about the wire on the cover or underneath? I claim the bad wire work. Ha!

@@HelicopterMaintenance the lockwire on the stationary star cap (underneath) that have no pigtails. You describe why in the video (which is correct) I just disagree with the way it’s done is all .

Thanks for your input and your story. The reason I’m make these videos is to explain some parts of the manual that are not very clear and/or parts if the manual that I have seen overlooked in the past. It is not my intention to tell anyone to skip parts of the manual, but sometimes there are translation errors or mistakes in the manual like at the end of a procedure the manual states to remove a component, when they clearly mean to install. I understand and appreciate your example. Thank you.

Thanks, I appreciate the kind words.

Thanks for the kind words. I make these videos to help the maintainers out there. The more we know, the safer the industry is. Cheers

If you bend the tab up then the blade will fly higher, bending down will cause the blade to fly lower. I think it works like bending the tab up causes the trailing edge to have a higher downward force causing the leading edge to fly higher. If that makes sense.

@@HelicopterMaintenance it dosn´t work like a Flap of an aeroplane (flap down + angle of attack) wing goes up, is not the same concept , from what I can understand? this is the info from my book : ( the other info is from the cuestion bank im confused ) Trim tabs are made from thin sheets of steel or aluminium which can be bent by hand. Bending a tab down increases the camber of the blade, thus increasing its lift; the blade will fly higher. Bending the tab up reduces the blade's camber, thus reducing its lift; the blade will fly lower. Blades may have to be re-tracked during their lifetimes as bearings and links become worn. A new blade also needs to be tracked. thanks for your time!!

Ha! I agree. I don’t know what they ended up doing, I think that this was a replacement CAD. The old one had bad backlight or night mode. This new one worked for a little bit the started doing this. Crazy.

Ha! Yeah the NVG inspection can be a nightmare, especially with the FAA dialed into inspecting these with a fine toothed comb. Misery. Thanks for your input.

@@HelicopterMaintenancedon’t forget to check the serviceability of your Velcro for your carpets! Ha!

@natehensal2703 I can’t take it bro. This is out of control. 🤯

Thanks. I’m glad you enjoyed.

Dang, that’s too bad

Thanks. I’ll make a video on that in the future, but I’ll have to do more research. It’s complicated but not if that makes sense, a lot of time has gone by since I really understood how it works.

Awesome, thanks for the review.

Hey q, is there something that you would like to see a video on? Do you have any recommendations on a video? I ask you because I know you work on these machines and respect your input.

Sorry q I was watching yt with my other account when I sent that question to you. My fault. Do you have any recommendations for a video my friend?

Hey, I don't know how much time you spend performing inspections like 12MO/500FH or 1000FH so you can show exacly how things are built and how to remove/install. During these inspections you have much more opportunities to record a video. For example, I work in base maintenance station so performing 12MO/500FH or 1000FH is my daily job (+ replacing main gearboxes, engines, performing test flights and performing service bulletins). Our line stations are located in different places in Poland, so if any H/C there has a problem I jump into a car and go fix them too. I allways try to share my insights here, even if I have only 5 years experience in aviation (I'm turning 25 this year, and started working on EC135 when I was 19). All of your videos are very interesting for me, cuz I can see what ''tricks'' you use, share mine and talk through problems that I or you might come across. Helicopters I deal with are very simmilar to eachother - P&W engines only (P2+/P3), almost the same avionic and the same autopilot. It's very interesing to see other components/solutions that are implemented into helicopters you deal with (one time I asked about A/C when I saw your short on youtube, becasue we don't have it). I haven't seen Turbomeca engines ever in real life and probably these are the most interesting things for me - Turbomeca, avionic system and autopilot variants. But the most importatnt thing is you having fun making videos and not recording because I would like to see something particular or anybody 😊 (especially that avionic/autopilot might be boring for somebody 😅) Every videos you uploaded are very interesting for me. I hope oneday I'll visit US and have a chance to meet you and your crew.

@qweq9972 thanks for your input q.
