5. Airworthiness Limitations - list of parts which are limited to a definite maximum service life.
Note
This is a process developed for the purpose of detecting flaws in ferrous metal parts, which though perhaps
invisible to the naked eye, could cause structural failure. This process is useful in detecting not only surface
cracks, but subsurface blow holes, inclusions, etc. Magnaflux is one type of magnetic particle inspection, it, or
its equivalent may be used.
This process was developed for the purpose of detecting flaws in non-ferrous metal parts. This process is useful
in detecting only surface cracks and therefore is, in general, used only for maintenance inspection. To perform a
satisfactory inspection, a post emulsified penetrant system must be used. It must meet or exceed GROUP V
penetrant materials requirements as listed in table 1-1.
The following procedure is recommended for fluorescent penetrant inspection of parts having staked bearings.
The exposed bearing surface should be wiped clean with a cloth moistened with dry cleaning solvent. Apply two
coats of BG lacquer (United Chrominum, Inc., 100 E. 42nd Street, New York, N.Y.), allowing one hour drying
time for each coat. The lacquer should be sufficiently thick to allow easy removal after inspection. Where
possible, it is advisable to have lacquer overlap on part outside of bearing from 1/8 to 1/4 inch. Take care to
avoid scuffing. The lacquer coat can be peeled easily after inspections.
All maintenance and inspection operations involving control linkage should be conducted with care to avoid
possibility of damage through improper handling and adjustment. Particular attention should be given to
freedom
of operation and clearance of rod-ends at points of connection, throughout range of travel. Binding,
,ming-out, or interference between parts of linkage can produce abnormal and excessive stresses during
operation,
which may result in damage or, in extreme cases, eventual failure of affected parts. The following
practices and precautions are recommended:
1. When removing main rotor, disconnect pitch change link-rods at pitch horns, leaving links attached to
stabilizer bar mixing lever. This decreases possibility of damaging link-rods while handling rotor.
(Rev. 9) 1-23
Section I BELL HELICOPTER COMPANY Models 47G-3B & 47G-3B-1
MaintenanceInspection MAINTENANCE & OVERHAUL INSTRUCTIONS Commercial
3. After any adjustment of control linkage, check thoroughly for freedom of operation through entire range
of control movement. On main rotor controls, this check should include positioning rotor at right angles to the
helicopter center line, holding stabilizer bar at extreme travel, and checking for possible interference while
moving controls through full travel in all directions.
Note
Perform checks with hydraulic boost OFF then with boost ON.
b. Perform inspection.
a. Strip the finish coat and primer using E-Z strip 19A or equivalent, use a stiff brush.
c. Perform inspection.
a. Lightly roughen the existing primer with scotch-brite. Clean parts with aliphatic naphtha or equivalent,
dry with filtered compressed air.
b. Apply a coat of super Koropon primer. Allow to dry a minimum of 30 minutes and a maximum of four
hours.
b. Apply a coat of epoxy polymide primer. Allow to dry a minimum of one hour and a maximum of eight
hours.

MAINTENANCE Maintenance Inspection
Procedure:
Each part must be inspected by all of the following steps, using the wet continuous method conforming
to MIL-I-6868. The length of any indication shall be determined by the residual method.
1. Magnetize the part by placing each end of the part between contact plates and pass 800 amperes
DC or 600 amperes AC current through the part. Inspect part complete for indications of defects.
2. Magnetize the part by placing the part inside the coil, in a direction such that the long axis of the
part is 90 degrees to the direction of current flow in the coil and pass 800 amperes DC, or 600 amperes AC
current. Inspect the part completely.
3. After completion of inspection, demagnetize the part and check with pocket field indicator or com-
pass to assure demagnetization.
Acceptance Criteria
1. Magnetic indications interpreted as cracks, seams, laps or shuts are cause for rejection.
2. Magnetic indications of stringers or non-metallic inclusions willbe acceptable if they are within all
the following limits. Indications below 1/64 inch in length are not rateable. On rejected parts all rateable
inclusions will be noted.
a. Indications of defects within or extending into section A are cause for rejection.
b. Indications of defects parallel to the long axis of the part (±15° ) are acceptable in section BB
provided they do not exceed 1/2 inch in length. No more than two such indications will be allowed and the
total aggregate length of all inclusions on each tang in section BB shall not exceed one inch.
c. Indications of defects parallel to the long axis of the part (±15° ) are acceptable in section CC
provided they do not exceed one inch in length. No more than two such indications will be allowed and the
total aggregate length of all inclusions in section CC shall not exceed two inches.
d. More than five indications of defects in any 1/2 inch square of surface area are cause for re-
jection.
Note
Maximum allowable number of indications in any 1/2 inch square.
e. Indications of defects that are more than (±15° ) of the long axis of the part, transverse or cir-
cumferential are cause for rejection.
f. Indications of stringers or non-metallic inclusions that break over corners or run into fillets
are not acceptable.
3. Indications which are caused by a change in section such as a sharp edge or slot are acceptable.
4. String magnetic indications where considerable build upispresent, indicating the defect has definite
depth and/or cross section, shall be cause for rejection regardless of size, length, direction or location.

Procedure.
Each part shall be inspected by all of the following steps using the wet continuous method conforming to
MIL-I-6868.
1. Magnetize the part by placing it between the contact heads on the magnaflux machine such that the
current flows in the direction of the long axis of the part and pass approximately 2000 amperes DC current
through the part. Inspect 100 per cent for magnetic indications.
Note
2. Magnetize the part by placing inside a suitable coil such that the long axis of the part is approxi-
mately 90 degrees to the direction of current flow in the coil and pass approximately 1500 amperes through
the coil. Repeat the operation at approximately 1 foot increments along the part to assure that an adequate
longitudinal magnetic field is set-up in the full length of the part. Inspect 100 per cent for indications.
3. After completion of inspection, demagnetize the part and check with a pocket indicator or compass
to assure complete demagnetization.
Acceptance Criteria.
1. Indications of cracks are cause for rejection regardless of size, location or direction.
2. Surface or sub-surface indications of stringer, shuts, seams, laps, or non-metallic inclusions are
acceptable provided they are within all the following limits. Defects indications exceeding the following
limits shall be rejected.
a. Indications having a direction that is more than 15 degrees off the long axis of the part are
cause for rejection regardless of location or size.
b. Indications having a direction parallel to the long axis of the part, within ±15 degrees, are
acceptable in section "AA", as shown in figure 1-10, provided they do not exceed 1/2 inch in length. Not

3-28. DESCRIPTION. The double action dampers
are bolted to a frame which is secured to the main
rotor mast by a split-splined clamp. The adjustment
of the dampers determines the following time of the
stabilizer bar in relation to the mast inclination for
purposes of maneuvering.
I” order for the pilot to experience good maneuver-
ability of the helicopter, such as rolling from one
turn into another, the bar must follow and become
perpendicular to the mast within a reasonable period
of time.
Should the dampers become maladjusted and give
inadequate damping to the stabilizer bar, the control
response is slow. Shouldthe dampers be maladjusted
to give excessive damping to the stabilizer bar, the
control responses would he rapid and the stability
