Operating Limits Bell 205

This document outlines the operating limits for a UH-1H II helicopter. It specifies limitations on starter use, ignition timing, rotor RPM both on and off power, torque levels, transmission oil temperature, pressure readings, engine oil temperature and pressure, fuel pressure, gas producer and rotor tachometers, engine RPM limits, airspeed limits, and engine power ratings. Key limitations include a maximum 6600 RPM for the engine and 324 RPM for the rotor, redline torque of 100%, and oil temperature not exceeding 880 degrees C.

ENGINE RATING
The helicopter is equipped with a T53-L-703 series engine which at 6600 RPM has
the following rates:

Take-Off Power (TOP) – 1800 shp


Maximum Continuous Power (MCP) – 1500 shp.

The helicopter is torque limited by the transmission to TOP (5 minutes) – 1290 shp
and MCP – 1134 shp which corresponds to 100% and 88% on the torque gauge when
operating at 6600 engine/324 rotor RPM
