Power Check Agusta A119 (Koala)

This section discusses helicopter engine performance and power assurance checks. It introduces power data that is derived from manufacturer specifications less installation losses. Daily power assurance checks are recommended using charts for hover, 130 knots level flight, or 100 knots level flight. The checks verify engine power is within established limits and allow for periodic in-flight monitoring. It is the pilot's responsibility to conduct checks safely based on passenger load, terrain, and other qualified personnel onboard. Failure of a hover check means engine performance is below minimum specifications.

A119-RFM-A

SECTION 4
PERFORMANCE

INTRODUCTION
The performance data presented herein are derived from the engine manufac-
turer’s minimum specification power for the engine less installation losses.
These data are applicable to the basic helicopter without any optional
equipment which would appreciably affect lift, drag or power available.

POWER ASSURANCE CHECK


The Power Assurance Check charts indicate if the engine power available is
within the limits established for the legitimate use of the RFM.
A power assurance check should be performed daily. Additional checks
should be made if unusual operating conditions or indications arise. Three
power assurance charts are provided, one for a hover check and the remaining
charts for a level flight check at 130 KIAS or, if this condition is not attaina-
ble because engine MCP limits are first encountered, at 100 KIAS. The head-
ing of each chart contains the procedure to be followed during the power
assurance check. The hover check is performed prior to takeoff and the
in-flight check is provided for periodic in-flight monitoring of engine per-
formance. Either power assurance check method may be selected at the dis-
cretion of the pilot.
It is the pilot’s responsibility to accomplish the procedure safely, considering
passenger load, terrain being overflown and the qualification of persons on
board to assist in watching for other air traffic and to record power check
data.
If the hover check is unsuccessful, engine performance is less than minimum
specification and performance data contained in this manual cannot be
achieved.
Refer to EMM.
