MAINTENANCE INSPECTION

GENERAL

This section contains a schedule of maintenance inspections.

I. Inspection methods.

2. Daily Inspection - required prior to first flight each day.

3. Periodic Inspections - required at 50, 100, 300, 600 and 1200 hour intervals.

4. Special Inspections - required by unusual events, such as hard landing or sudden stoppage of rotor.

5. Airworthiness Limitations - list of parts which are limited to a definite maximum service life.
Note

In text of this manual wherever the terms Magnaflux or Zyglo


appear reference should be to magnetic particle or fluorescent
penetrant.

MAGNETIC PARTICLE INSPECTION PROCESS.

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.

FLUORESCENT PENETRANT INSPECTION PROCESS.

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.

MASKING OF BEARINGS FOR FLUORESCENT PENETRANT INSPECTION.

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.

INSPECTION OF FLIGHT CONTROL LINKAGE BOLTS.

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.

2. Secure any disconnected linkage to prevent damage by accidental movement.

(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.

4. Avoid over-torque of bolts connecting linkage.

CLEANING OF PARTS FOR INSPECTION.


Note

It is not necessary to strip cadmium plating for magnetic


particle inspection.

1. Magnetic particle inspection (ferrous metal).

a. Remove top finish coat only. Do not remove yellow primer.

b. Perform inspection.

2. Fluorescent penetrant inspection (non-ferrous material).

a. Strip the finish coat and primer using E-Z strip 19A or equivalent, use a stiff brush.

b. Rinse thoroughly with pressure water spray.

c. Perform inspection.

REFINISHING OF PARTS AFTER INSPECTION.

1. Protective finish for exterior surface of ferrous metal parts.

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.

c. Apply finish coat with acrylic lacquer or equivalent.

2. Protective finish for exterior surfaces of non-ferrous material parts.

a. Clean with aliphatic naphtha or equivalent.

b. Apply a coat of epoxy polymide primer. Allow to dry a minimum of one hour and a maximum of eight
hours.

c. Apply finish coat with acrylic lacquer or equivalent.

Procedure:

Each ring assembly must be inspected by all of the following steps using the wet continuous method con-
forming to MIL-I-6868. The length of any indication shall be determined by the residual method.

1. Magnetize the part by passing a copper bar through the approximate center of the adapter and place
the bar between the contact heads. Pass 750 amperes DC, or 500 amperes AC, current through the bar.
Inspect completely for indications.
Note

The part should be suspended around the copper bar such


that the bar is in the approximate center of the part so that
a uniform magnetic field will be set up within the part; other-
wise, the part must be magnetized four (4) times, rotating
the part 90 degrees around the bar after each charge of
magnetizing current.
2. Magnetize the part by placing inside a coil so that the long axis of the part is approximately 90
degrees to the direction of current flow in the coil and pass 750 amperes DC, or 500 amperes AC, current
through the coil. Inspect the part completely for indications.
Note

The part should be as close to the coil as possible to as-


sure an adequate magnetic field build-up within the part.
The part may be rotated and re-shot if necessary.

3. After completion of inspection, demagnetize the part and check with pocket field indicator; or
compass, to assure demagnetization.

Each shaft 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 shaft by placing each end between the contact plates and passing approximately 500 -
700 amperes through the shaft, thus developing circular magnetization around the shaft. Inspect the shaft
completely for longitudinal indications running parallel to the long axis.
2. Magnetize the shaft by placing in a coil, in a direction such that the long axis of the shaft will be
approximately 90 degrees to the direction of current flow in the magnetizing coil, and pass 500 amperes
through the shaft. Inspect the shaft completely.
3. After completing inspection, demagnetize the shaft and check with pocket field indicator or compass.

Acceptance Criteria:
1. Indication of cracks, in either the longitudinal or transverse directions, are cause for rejection
regardless of length or direction.
2. Surface or sub-surface indications of stringers, shuts, non-metallic inclusions, bursts, seams or
laps shall be acceptable provided they are within all the following limits. (Figure 1-14.)

SUDDEN STOPPAGE-MAIN ROTOR-POWER OFF


Note
Sudden stoppage is defined as any rapid deceleration of the
torsional drive system whether caused by seizure within the
helicopter drive system itself or by contact of the main or tail
rotor blade with the ground or with a foreign object of
sufficient inertia to cause rapid deceleration.

Accomplish this inspection after the main rotor has been stopped suddenly by striking any object including
tail boom while rotating freely (not being driven by the engine). While the damage to the main rotor blades
will undoubtedly be obvious, component parts of the main and tail rotor systems and engine may have sus-
tained from minor to severe damage.
1. Remove and disassemble main rotor. Examine main rotor blades.
Note
If condition of blades is such that repairs cannot be made in
accordance with the blade repair section of this manual, return
blades to an approved repair station for disposition. If one blade
is damaged to the extent that it is obvious scrap, then scrap the
mating blade also.
2. When blade impact is violent to the extent that the drag brace bolt is sheared and the aft side of the blade butt
contacts the aft or forward outboard side of the hub grip, it is mandatory that the complete hub assembly be replaced.
Also the mast controls assembly and mast must be inspected by the magnetic particle and fluorescent penetrant
process. Check for concentricity. Visually inspect bearings, dynamic stop cables and static stop.
3. Visually inspect stabilizer bar outer tube for bends; also examine welded joint at inboard end of outer
bar.
4. Use a magnifying glass to inspect mast thrust bearings for damaged balls.

5. Remove transmission and check the following:


a. Transmission mounting bolts.
b. Adapter plate and all mounting studs.
c. Trunnion pins.
d. Structural tubing of engine mounting frame.
e. All transmission parts (if condition exists as described in step 2).
6. Inspect engine sprag mount installation. Inspect sprag mount safety cables and fittings. Inspect tail
rotor drive shaft and universal joint. If the tail rotor drive shaft is broken or twisted, remove, disas-
semble and inspect the following:
a. Tail rotor drive shaft installation.
b. Tail rotor drive assembly.
c. Tail boom extension.
d. Tail rotor gear box.
Note
If the tail rotor drive shaft is satisfactory and the trans-
mission turns freely, remove tail rotor drive assembly.
Inspect assembly and drive gear carefully.
7. Carefully examine all flight control system push-pull tubes, hydraulic boost system link-rods, bell-
cranks and cables. Inspect rod-end and bellcrank bearings.

SUDDEN STOPPAGE - TAIL ROTOR - POWER OFF

(Applicable to 47-641-170 Tail Rotor Hub and Blade Assembly)

Note

Sudden stoppage is defined as any rapid deceleration of the


torsional drive system whether caused by seizure within the
helicopter drive system itself or by contact of the main or tail
rotor blade with the ground or with a foreign object of
sufficient inertia to cause rapid deceleration.

1. If sudden stoppage originated at the tail rotor blades, the tail rotor hub and blade assembly
must be condemned as non-airworthy, nonrepairable and disposed of locally.
Known or suspected contact of the tail rotor with soft terrain, snow, water or dense vegetation must be
inspected to sudden stoppage criteria to the extent of condemning the tail rotor hub and blade
assembly and conducting a progressive inspection of the tail rotor drive system.
2. Carefully inspect all attachment parts. Visually inspect all bearings. Examine tail rotor
driveshaft installation. Inspect all coupling pins for damage and holes for elongation.
a. If all sections of driveshaft are found satisfactory inspect the following:
(1) Transmission tail rotor output quill assembly for smoothness of bearings and gear
teeth for damage.
(2) Check tail rotor gearbox for freedom of operation and proper backlash of gears.
(3) Check runout of gearbox output shaft.
b. If the tail rotor driveshaft or universal joint is broken or twisted, remove,disassemble and
inspect the following:
(1) Tail rotor driveshaft.
(2) Tail rotor drive quill from transmission.
(3) Tailboom extension.
(4) Tail rotor gearbox.

MAIN ROTOR - OVERSPEED


1. Main rotor overspeed between 373 RPM and 395 RPM requires rigid visual inspection.

2. Rotor overspeeds in excess of 395 RPM require the removal of the blades and a comprehensive
inspection performed by an authorized blade overhaul station.

RPM - TACHOMETER NEEDLE SEPARATION


When the engine tachometer needle advances beyond rotor tachometer needle under power, engine overspeeds
beyond rotor, the mast drive flange shear screws must be inspected, for offset shearing. Check shear screws by
inserting a 3/16 inch drill into head of shear screw, if drill cannot be inserted, remove shear screw and check
O.D. for offset shearing. If any indication of shearing is evident, all shear screws must be replaced.

LANDING GEAR FLOATS

If helicopter is equipped with floats and has been operated utilizing the differencial altitude limitations as
specified in Flight Manual floats must be proof tested every six months. (Refer to Section X.)

INSPECTION COOLING FAN DRIVE ASSEMBLY

1. Remove cooling fan drive assembly from transmission, after the first 10 hours of operation on a new
or overhauled transmission or after the first 50 hours of operation after fan gears have been installed, for
a one time inspection.
2. Inspect pinion gear and drive gear teeth for an acceptable wear pattern. (Refer to Section IV.) If
readjustment of gears is required to obtain an acceptable wear pattern, make the necessary adjustment and
reinspect gears again after the next 10 hours of operation.

The manifold pressure gage should indicate existing
barometric pressure when the engine is not running
(or when the drain valve button, beside the instru-
ment, is pushed in while the engine is running).
Check reading against calibrated instrument or altim-
eter. To adjust, remove instrument from panel and
remove screw located on underside of cylindrical
case. Insert a small screw driver through the screw
hole and turn compensating screw to obtain correct
reading. If the gage cannot be adjusted satisfactorily,
replace gage.
