SECTION 4
PERFORMANCE DATA

INTRODUCTION
The performance information presented in this section is based on
flight test results and engineering analysis of engine manufacturers
specification power for the engine, less installation losses. The data is
applicable to the basic helicopter without any optional equipment
which would appreciably affect lift, drag or power available. The per-
formance shown is based on (1) adherence to the operational limita-
tions shown in Section 1 of this manual, (2) the use of the procedures
described in Sections 2 and 3 of this manual and (3) periodic engine
power checks to assure minimum specification engine power output.
The performance at a weight lower than the lowest weight shown on
any particular graph should be assumed to be no better than that at
the lowest weight shown. Performance extrapolation beyond the
ranges shown in the graphs is not permitted.

USING THE GRAPHS

The performance information is presented graphically and in the
sequence in which it would ordinarily be used. The introduction to
each performance item contains an example of graph usage. Addition-
ally, each graph contains a pictogram showing the correct sequence of
steps in graph usage. As aircraft performance can be substantially
affected by many factors (weight, altitude, temperature, power levels,
etc.), careful attention should be paid to the explanatory text accompa-
nying each graph to assure that the correct set of factors is being
used.

DENSITY ALTITUDE CHART

Enter the graph at the desired value of Outside Air Temperature
(OAT), on the horizontal axis. Proceed vertically until intercepting the
desired value of Pressure Altitude. Proceed left to read the resulting
Density Altitude (in feet). Proceed right to read the corresponding
value of the reciprocal of the square root of the density ratio, which is
used to calculate True Airspeed.

Example:

At a Pressure Altitude of 6000 feet and an OAT of +15° C, deter-

mine the corresponding Density Altitude.

Solution:

Enter Figure 4-1 at an OAT of +15° C. and proceed vertically until

intersecting a Pressure Altitude of 6000 feet (sloping curves).
From this point, proceed left to read a Density Altitude of 7400
feet.

AIRSPEED CALIBRATION
Calibration curves are presented for the pilot’s, co-pilot’s PFD and
standby airspeed indicators. Calibrated airspeed must be used in
order to calculate correct values of the True Airspeed.
The size of the error depends on the Indicated Airspeed, itself. Enter
the graph, for the appropriate airspeed indicator, with the desired
value of Indicated Airspeed, and proceed vertically until intercepting
the desired flight regime. Proceed to the left to read the corresponding
value of Calibrated Airspeed. Use this value to calculate the corre-
sponding True Airspeed, as required.

Example:

On the Pilot’s PFD indicator, for the climb condition, determine the
Calibrated Airspeed corresponding to an Indicated Airspeed of
100 knots.

Solution:

Use Figure 4-4. Enter the graph at an Indicated Airspeed of 100

knots and proceed vertically until intersecting the climb curve.
Proceed left and read the corresponding Calibrated Airspeed of
103 knots.

ALTIMETER CORRECTION
The Indicated Altitude shown on the cockpit instruments is within
±30 ft (9 m) altitude error throughout the speed range of the helicopter.

ENGINE POWER CHECKS

The purpose of the Engine Power Assurance Check is to provide a
means of monitoring engine health on an on-going basis. A HOVER
power assurance check procedure is provided to the operator. The
procedure should be used to check if the engine power available
before take-off is within the limits established for the legitimate use of
the Rotorcraft Flight Manual performance.

POWER MARGIN TREND MONITORING

Record engine power assurance check values for engine power
margin trend monitoring purposes at flight hour intervals as defined in
Section 1 Limitations.

HOVER POWER CHECKS PROCEDURE

The following procedure is used to check engine performance before
flight:

CAUTION

Observe all engine and transmission max continuous lim-

its and aircraft operating limits during this check.

1. Position the aircraft into the prevailing wind to minimize hot gas
ingestion.

2. Record date, aircraft serial number, aircraft hours, engine serial

number and engine hours.

3. Confirm that the AUTO MODE HTR/COND switch is set to OFF

and HEATING SOV switches are OFF. (If fitted)

4. Set the barometric pressure to 1013 mb or 29.92 inches.

E.A.S.A. Approved Page 4-9

Section 4 AW139 - RFM - 4D
Performance Data Document N°
139G0290X002

5. Confirm both the ENG MODE switches at FLT, set BUS TIE
switch to ON, select ENG MODE switch of engine NOT being
tested to IDLE.

6. With the rotor speed at 100%, set the collective until ‘light on
wheels’ or Hover at 5 feet to obtain a percent torque value within
the range shown on the top graph of Figure 4-5, depending on the
airfield elevation.

7. Maintain a fixed collective for one minute, then record the

following data from the Primary and MultiFunction Display:
— Pressure Altitude
— OAT
— NG
— TRQ
— ITT

8. When recording is completed lower collective to MPOG, select

ENG MODE switch of engine not being tested to FLT.

9. Repeat steps (1) through (8), for the remaining engine.

10. Select BUS TIE switch to AUTO.

11. On the appropriate figure plot readings for each engine as

follows:
a) Enter the left graph of Figure 4-5, as appropriate, with the
recorded torque value. Drop vertically until intercepting the
recorded pressure altitude value (interpolate between the
curves, as necessary). Move horizontally to intercept the
recorded OAT value for ITT and NG. From these points move
up to read the maximum allowable ITT/NG values for the test
condition.
b) Compare the maximum allowable ITT and NG values to the
recorded ITT and NG values.

Page 4-10 E.A.S.A. Approved

 AW139 - RFM - 4D Section 4
Document N° Performance Data
139G0290X002

c) If the recorded ITT or NG values is less than the maximum

allowable ITT or NG value, engine condition is acceptable for
flight.
The difference between maximum allowable ITT/NG and
recorded ITT/NG is called the Power Assurance Margin
(PAM).
d) If the recorded ITT or NG values are greater than the maxi-
mum allowable ITT or NG the performance in this RFM may
not be achieved. Refer to EMM for required actions.

Example:

A Ground Power Check on Number 1 engine procedure gave the

following recorded results:

— TRQ = 102%

— Pressure Altitude = 5000 ft

— OAT = -10° C

— ITT = 600

— NG = 91

Solution:

Entering the left of the graph at 102% torque, drop down to the
Pressure Altitude curve for 5000 ft. Move right to the -10° C OAT
curve for Maximum Allowable ITT and Maximum allowable NG.
From the -10° C OAT curves move vertically up to an ITT value of
620° C and NG value or 91.5%.

The recorded ITT value of 600° C is less than the maximum

allowable (620° C) and the NG value of 91% is less than the max-
imum allowable (91.5%) so the engine is acceptable for flight.

TAKE-OFF AND LANDING CATEGORY B

The charts are presented for Take Off and Landing Performance.
The Weight-Altitude-Temperature graphs determine the maximum
weight allowable for each combination of altitude/temperature for Take
Off and Landing.
The Take Off distance chart indicates the distance required for each
combination of weight-altitude-temperature to Take Off AEO and
reach 50 KIAS at 50 ft (15 m) above the Take Off surface using the
procedure in Section 2.
The Landing distance chart indicates the distance required for each
combination of weight-altitude-temperature to land OEI from 50 ft
(15 m) at 30 KIAS when using the procedure for landing in Section 2.
The Landing distance is indicated in two parts, the distance required
from 50 ft (15 m) to touchdown and the braking distance after
touchdown. The total distance for landing is the summation of the two
distances.

Example 1:

The Take Off distance required for the following weight and ambi-
ent conditions:

— Aircraft Weight = 5600 kg

— Pressure Altitude = 1000 ft

— OAT = +12° C

Solution:

Using chart Figure 4-16 we see that the aircraft weight and ambi-
ent conditions are inside the CAT B WAT curve so flight is permit-
ted. Using chart Figure 4-17 on the Pressure Altitude axis from
1000 ft move up to intersect the +12°C line (interpolated between
10° and 20° lines) move right to intercept the Gross Weight line of
5600 kg and drop vertically to the distance of 264 m.

Example 2:

The Landing distance required for the following weight and ambi-
ent conditions:

— Aircraft Weight = 5600 kg

— Pressure Altitude = 6000 ft

— OAT = +12° C

Solution:

Using chart Figure 4-16 we see that the aircraft weight and ambi-
ent conditions are inside the CAT B WAT curve so flight is permit-
ted. Using chart Figure 4-18 on the Pressure Altitude axis from
6000 ft move up to intersect the +12°C line (interpolated between
10° and 20° lines), then move right to intercept the Gross Weight
lines for Touch Down distance and Braking distance curves. At
the Gross weight of 5600 kg drop vertically for Touch Down dis-
tance 136 m and Braking Distance 10 m. Summing the two values
give a total distance of 146 m.

SINGLE ENGINE FAILURE IN HOVER OGE FLYAWAY

PROCEDURE
The height loss during a single engine failure flyaway for combinations
of weight, altitude and temperature conditions is shown in
Figure 4-43 for weights up to 6400 kg. (For aircraft configured for
operation between 6400 kg and 6800 kg see Supplement 50).
The chart does not include any clearance height. If the hover height is
greater than the height loss plus the clearance height required (15 ft,
(5 m) minimum) then a flyaway capability exists and the Flyaway Pro-
cedure should be followed.
The height loss is valid for rotor speeds of 100 %NR or 102 %NR and
provided the flyaway manoeuvre is initiated within 1 second from
engine failure recognition.

Note
If the helicopter weight, at the time of engine failure, is
less or equal to the Hover OGE 2.5 min OEI weight an
engine failure in the hover will result in no height loss pro-
vided that the pilot does not intervene on the flight con-
trols.

FLYAWAY PROCEDURE
1. Collective/Cyclic control — Rotate nose down in 1 second
to an attitude of -20°. Recover
pitch attitude to 5° nose up in
approximately 5 seconds.
Maintain this attitude while
using the collective to droop
the NR to a minimum of
90% NR, if necessary, to
arrest the descent.
2. Acceleration — Maintain pitch attitude at 5°
nose up and accelerate to
VTOSS (40 KIAS).
3. At VTOSS — When the aircraft has achieved
VTOSS (40 KIAS) and a posi-
tive rate of climb lower collec-
tive to recover NR to 100%,
continue climb.
4. Climb — Continue climb and acceler-
ate to Vy or as required.

Note
Following the flyaway procedure the height loss indicated
on chart Figure 4-42, for given ambient condition and air-
craft weight, guarantees that VTOSS (40 KIAS) will be
achieved and, after accelerating to Vy, a subsequent min-
imum Rate Of Climb of 150 fpm is assured.
