Helilog56 Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 correct me if i'm wrong but wasn't the yellow arc for resonant turbine wheel vibrations? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> M.S......you are correct,sir... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTF_was_that Posted August 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 The yellow arc is for A\C with a one piece tail rotor drive shaft. Since one gauge almost fits all, the yellow arc will not be removed. Just imagine the paper trail to remove that one marking. Still know of a least one 206 with a straight drive shaft.

helicopterjim Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 I reckon most of us just pull power 'til either it goes or doesn't go. It is really hard to read the manual when you are slinging stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 correct me if i'm wrong but wasn't the yellow arc for resonant turbine wheel vibrations? The yellow arc is for the one piece T/R shaft as mentioned, the range for the resonant turbine wheel vibrations was somewhere between 95-97%, I believe those wheels have all been replaced by now. Quite a few jetrangers around with the single piece T/R driveshaft, and it's still a good idea to accelerate thru the yellow arc in case you arent sure what kind of shaft is on the machine AND because the Flight Manual tells you to do so. :hide: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
