Normal and standard conditions are assumed in these procedures. Pertinent data in other sections is referenced when applicable. The instructions and procedures contained herein are written for the purpose of standardization and are not applicable to all situations. OPERATING LIMITATIONS The minimum and maximum limits, and the normal and cautionary operat- ing ranges for the helicopter and its subsystems are indicated by instrument markings and placards. Anytime an operating limitation is exceeded, an appropriate entry shall be made in the helicopter logbook. The entry shall state which limit was exceeded, the duration of time, the extreme value attained, and any additional information essential in determining the maintenance action required. These instrument markings and placards represent careful aerodynamic cal- culations that are substantiated by flight test data. Refer to Limitations and Specifications chapter for a detailed explanation of each operating limitation. FLIGHT PLANNING Each flight should be planned adequately to ensure safe operations and to pro- vide the pilot with the data to be used during flight. Essential weight and balance, and performance information should be com- piled as follows: • Check type of flight to be performed and destination. • Select appropriate performance charts (see Performance chapter). Takeoff and Landing Data Refer to the RFM Limitations chapter for Takeoff and Landing Weight Limits, and to the Performance chapter for Takeoff and Landing Distance Information. FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY EC-1 FlightSafety International BELL 412 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL Weight and Balance Determine proper weight and balance of the helicopter as follows: • Consult the “Weight and Balance” section of the Rotocraft Flight Manual for instructions (see Weight and Balance chapter of this manual). • Compute takeoff and anticipated landing gross weight, check helicopter (CG) locations, and ascertain weight of fuel, oil, payload, etc. • Check that loading limitations listed in the Limitations chapter have not been exceeded. PREFLIGHT CHECK The pilot is responsible for determining whether the helicopter is in condi- tion for safe flight. Refer to Figure EC-1 for preflight check sequence. NOTE The pilot walkaround and interior checks are outlined in the following procedures. The preflight check is not intended to be a detailed mechanical inspection, but simply a guide to help the pilot check the condition of the helicopter. It may be made as comprehensive as conditions warrant at the discretion of the pilot. All areas checked shall include a visual check for ev- idence of corrosion, particularly when helicopter is flown near or over salt water or in areas of high industrial emissions.

We suggest that readers contact the specific government and military programme offices if seeking to confirm the reliability of any data. 1 MARKET OVERVIEW Broadly speaking, the global helicopter market is currently facing a two- pronged assault. The military helicopter segment has been impacted significantly by continued defense budgetary pressures across most traditional markets, and a recent slide in global crude oil prices has impacted the demand for new civil helicopters as well as the level of activity for existing fleets engaged in the offshore oil & gas exploration sector. This situation has impacted industry OEMs significantly, many of which had been working towards strengthening the civil helicopter segment to partially offset the impact of budgetary cuts on the military segment. However, the medium- to long-term view of the market is promising given the presence of strong fundamentals and persistent, sustainable growth drivers. The market for military helicopters in particular is set to cross a technological threshold in the form of next-generation compound helicopters and tilt rotorcraft.
