Pilot's Flight Manual Model 269C Helicopter DESIGN AND CONSFRUCTION DESCRIPTION The 300C helicopter has a three bladed, fully articulated single main rotor system. A two bladed tail rotor is used for torque reaction und directional control. Power is supplied by a Textron I.ycoming Model HI0-360-D1A reciprocating engine. The engine power is transmitted through a belt drive transmission assembly to the main transmission and taif rotor drive shaft. The belt drive assembly incorporates ant overrmning clutch to permit autorotation with out driving the belts or engine The fuselage with a central, tubular steel, open feame forms the load- carrying structure for the helicopter. The center frome provides attach- ments for and supports all helicopter components above the landing gear, which is attached to the underside of the frame. ‘The forward sec- tioa holds the pilot’s compartment; the cabin contains threc side-by-side seats, with the pilot's position on the left side. Seat cush- jons and backs are contoured for personnel comfort, The seat support, to which the cushions are affixed, provides an installation of maximum personnel safety as a result of the impact-yielding capability. Seat belts are provided for the pilot and passenger positions, and addition ally, « shoulder haraess is provided for the center passenger. Ox later holicopters shoulder harnesses are provided for pilot and right hand position also. An instrument panel is located forward of the seals at the helicopter centerline. The panel includes flight and engine instruments in addition to warning and caution lights and varions switches and controls. Space provisions exis! for commnunication and navigation equipment. Later configuration instrument consoles have » stowage compariment (glove box) which can accommodate up to 20 lbs. additional baggage. Contol System. The pilot's position is on the far loft side of the cabin, with a cyclic control stick and tail rotor pedals provided in front ef the pilot’s seet. The pedals ate udjustable. A collective pitch control stick is provided to the [eft of the pilo’s seat. The cyclic and collective control system is the mechanically linked, solid type, using tubular push-pull rods. The tail rotor coatrol system utilizes cables and pul- leys in one link of its otherwise solid system of tubular push-pull rods. ‘Acabin, mounted forward of the canter frame, is formed by the canopy, two cabin doors, a floor section and a seat structure. ‘The cabin cxicloscs the crew and passenger arce and contains the flight controls, Reissued: 21 September 1988 Revised: 18 Dec 2006 ~)SCHWEIZER AIRCRAFT CORP.

An airfoil which modi- fies the airflow asound the cabin, extends above and across the canopy upper windshield sevtion. © The cabin floor structure consists of aluminum floor beams, channels, panels and other stcuctaral components. The floot stricture supports the instrument panel aud provides for mounting the taif rotor direc tional control pedals. © The seat structure is an assembly of riveted aluminum beams, frames, bulkheads, supports and other structural components, The support structure for the crew end passenger seats is a raised horizontal platform across the width of the cabin, with an upright vertical bulkhead at the rear of the horizontal scet platform. The horizontal platform provides mounting facilities and support for the seats and collective and cyclic flight controls, The vertical bulkhead forms the rear of the cabin and mounts the upright portions of the seats. At the center rear of the vertical bulkhead, the main totor mast is secured to the upper structural member of the bulkhead; additionaliy, the mast is rigidly attached to the center frame by three structural members. © The lower forward section of the seat structure is riveted fo the floor structure. The two door frames are riveted to each side of the structural unit formed by the seat and floor structures, «A lower forwerd fairing is attached to the forward edge of the floor structure and extends downward and rearward to the forward crossbeam of the landing gear. It provides for streamlining below the cabin and supports the engiie uir induction system A tailboom assembly extends rearward from its attachment to the center frame section. Ii is a monocoque structure of aluminum and houses the tail rotor drive shafl and tail rotor control rod. At the aft end, it supports the tail rotor gearbox and tail rotor, in addition to the horizon tal end vertical stabilizers.

Fore and aft crossbcams attach to the underside of the center frame section and pro- yide for attachment of struts and oleo-type, shock-absoxbing dampers. Right and left stabilizer asscmblies connect the outboard ends of the crossbeams end provide stepping areas for entry to each side of the cabin and for servicing and inspecting the helicopter. Skid tubes attached to contoured fittings af the lower ends of the struts provide attachment points for installation of ground handling wheels. The powerplaat is the Toxtron Lycoming Model HIO-360-D] A four-cylinder, horizontally opposed, air-cooled engixe, with fuel injec- tion, ‘The cugine is rated at 190 hp at 3200 rpm for both takeoff and maximum continuous operation at altitudes ftom sea level to 4200 fect (1280 m) with standerd atmosphere conditions. The engine is mounted horizontally on shack mounts within the center frame section. The engine transmits power through a belt drive transmission assembly to the main transmission and tail rotor drive shaft. The lower pulley of the belt drive receives power ftom the engine crankshaft and directs the power to the upper pulley through a matched set of V-belts. An idler pulley running ageinst the set of belts and connected to a pi- Jot-controlled actuating mechanism operates as'2 clutch to engage and disengage the upper pulley with the lower pulley. The upper pulley at- taches to the input shaft of the main trensmission and incorporates en over running clutch that permits the main rotor to drive during the autorotation without engine power. The main transmission mounts on the lower end of the nonrotating main rotor mast and is rigidly fixed in position by support members connected to the center frame section. ‘The transraission is lubricated by a self-contained lubrication system and is cooled by airflow around the housing. The main roter drive shaft transmits power from the main transmission to the main xotor hub. A thrust bearing, acting upon 2 shoulder on the drive shaft, positions the shaft within the mast. The three-bladed main rotor system is fully articulated vith flapping hinges and lead-lag hinged blade attachment.

The blades are interconnected by a high-strength, ten sion-torsion strap assembly. @ The helicopter main fuel tank has a capacity of 30 or 33 U.S. gallons (413 or 114 liters) depending on aircraft S/N, and ts located externally on the right-hand seat structure; an anxiliary tack may be installed aft of the left-hand seat structure. The auxiliary fuel tank with 4 capacily of 19 U.S. gallons (72 liters) may be attached te the left side of the bulkhead. The tanks (main and auxiliary) may be serviced from either filler neck by gravity.
