05-10 TIME LIMITS

This section gives the recommended time limits requirements for the
components of the AW139.
The time limits are divided into:
• Permitted inspection interval tolerances;
• Components overhaul schedule;
• Discard time schedule
The tolerance is established for maintenance scheduling convenience only and
must be approved by the governing civil aviation authority. Concurrence and
final approval of the inspection interval tolerance by the governing civil aviation
authority is the responsibility of the owner/operator. Permitted inspection

05-23 50 Hour General Visual Check

The 50 – hour general visual checks are aligned to the configuration of the
helicopter areas to let the operator to do the checks in a walk-around sequence.
All the checks have to be performed with a 50 flight hours periodicity. The tasks
are General Visual Inspections (GVI) only, which will only require the opening
of access panels or cowlings and the aid of stands, ladders or platforms. The
permitted inspection interval tolerance is applicable.

05-40 SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE CHECKS

This section gives the data necessary to perform the scheduled maintenance
checks on the AW139 and is divided into:
• Hourly checks
• Calendar checks
• Special inspections
• Servicing
The hourly checks sub-section list all the maintenance tasks that must be
performed at the same hour interval. They are divided into:
• 300 hours checks
• 600 hours checks
• 1200 hours checks
The calendar check sub section list all the maintenance tasks that must be
performed at the same calendar interval. They are divided into:
• 1 year checks
• 2 year checks
• 4 year checks
The special inspection sub-section gives the data necessary to perform the
maintenance checks which can not be fitted into the standard maintenance
program, even if they have a scheduled periodicity.
The servicing sub-section contains the servicing intervals for items applicable
to the AW139.
