SECTION 5 - PERFORMANCE
Engine performance is slightly reduced when the FDC/aerofilter Inlet Barrier
Filter is installed and may decrease further as the filter becomes contaminated. It
is the responsibility of the pilot/operator to conduct power checks to determine if
the engine, as equipped with the IBF, meets published power check criteria and
performance. Conduct power checks in accordance with appropriate approved
Rotorcraft Flight Manual (RFM) and/or Rotorcraft Flight Manual Supplement
(RFMS). Recorded TOT and N1 readings are to be corrected as noted below
prior to comparison to the maximum TOT and N1 corresponding to the prevailing
ambient conditions. Additional power checks are at the discretion of the
pilot/operator and based on the operating environments.
Except as noted below, ground and inflight power check procedures and
criteria are unchanged from the basic RFM.
Performance for the basic engine air inlet published in the RFM and/or
appropriate RFMS is assured if power checks result in N1 and TOT margins
that are at least zero.
Ground Power Check:
Increase indicated TOT by +5C and increase indicated N1 by 0.3% prior to

comparison with maximum TOT and N1, corresponding to the prevailing
ambient conditions.
Example:
Indicated TOT engine 1 ..................................... 750C
Corrected indicated TOT engine 1..................... 755C
TOT Margin engine 1 = Power Check Chart maximum TOT

Corrected Indicated TOT engine 1
Indicated N1 engine 1........................................ 92.0%

Corrected indicated N1 engine 1 ....................... 92.3%
N1 Margin engine 1 = Power Check Chart maximum N1

Corrected Indicated N1 engine 1
If results meet basic RFM ground power check criteria:

Operate aircraft in accordance with basic RFM performance data.
Page 10 of 14
RFMS
Ground Power Check (continued):

If results do not meet basic RFM ground power check criteria:
Refer to appropriate maintenance manual to determine cause of power
loss and perform new power check. If results still do not meet basic
RFM power check criteria:
o It is recommended that the filter element be serviced and a new
power check be performed.
Inflight Power Check:
Inflight power check procedures and criteria are unchanged from the basic
RFM.
Hover
No change to approved hover ceiling with respect to basic helicopter

performance data.
Climb
No change to approved climb performance with respect to basic helicopter

performance data.

SECTION 6 - MASS AND BALANCE

Refer to Equipment List entries in Section 6 of the basic Flight Manual.
SECTION 7 - SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The FDC/aerofilter Engine Inlet Barrier Filter System consists of two filter
elements installed in front of the engine intakes. The elements consist of porous
media treated with oil to enhance filtration performance. Differential pressure
sensors located behind each element, measure the differential pressure across
the filters and hence the level of blockage.
Blockage level is displayed as bar-graph segments to the pilot on the Filter

Health Monitor (FHM). The FHM also alerts the pilot when filter element servicing
is required and when unrestricted bypass air is needed. Two different FHM
models are approved for use with this filter system. Some annunciations and
display elements differ between the two models. FHM annunciations are as
follows:
An amber SNSR or MAINT annunciation (depending on installed FHM model)

indicates a maintenance condition exists. This annunciation will remain
illuminated until extinguished by corrective maintenance action and cannot be
reset by pilot action.
An amber CAUT annunciation indicates when the filter elements have

exceeded the maximum allowable blockage level. When activated, this
annunciation is magnetically latched and will be retained, even without
electrical power, until reset in flight or on the ground by pressing RESET on
the face of the unit. Simultaneously, the LOW INLET PRESSURE
annunciations illuminate on the IBF ALT AIR switches installed on the
instrument panel. The FHM and bypass alerts are independent of other
aircraft systems no Master Warning/Caution annunciations will illuminate.
The TEST button on the FHM checks all aspects of the unit. Depressing the
TEST button will illuminate all bar-graph segments and FHM annunciations, as
well as the amber LOW INLET PRESSURE annunciations on the IBF ALT AIR
switches. All annunciations illuminated indicate a successful test result.
Releasing the TEST button will clear all bar-graph segments but not the CAUT
and LOW INLET PRESSURE annunciations, which can only be cleared by
pressing and holding the RESET button on the FHM for 5 seconds.
Power for the system is provided by two (2) dedicated 28VDC, 1 Amp circuit
breakers, labeled IBF #1 and IBF #2, on both left and right Essential or left and
right Avionics Essential busses.
