INTRODUCTION

GENERAL
The purpose of this manual is to provide the operators with information to implement corrosion prevention pro-
grams for their AW109 and AW119 Series helicopters. Some of this information has already been transmitted
to the operator by other means, such as all service letters or service bulletins, but has been included in this
manual as a more consolidated means of retaining the data.

It is the intention to periodically revise this manual to update the information. By publishing data in this manual,
it is hoped that many operators will be spared corrosion problems by taking preventive action in areas where
experience has shown that corrosion may occur. It has been demonstrated that effective corrosion control pro-
grams by operators have significantly reduced the magnitude of the corrosion maintenance problem. Conse-
quently, operators are requested to share any new corrosion experiences by forwarding Information through
the Leonardo Helicopters Product Support Engineering.

The information contained in this manual is of an advisory nature and it is recommended for use in developing
a corrosion control program meeting the specific needs of the individual operator. Where allowable damage
data are required in the section concerned with corrosion control, reference will normally be made to other
documents which have been formally approved, i.e. the applicable Structural Repair Manual.

The publications that follow give more data about the maintenance of the helicopter:

— Maintenance Planning

— Fault Isolation

— Wiring Data

The data necessary for the repair and overhaul of the components removed from the helicopter are given in
the Component Repair and Overhaul publication.

HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

The method of using this manual is depending on what information is being looked for. If the reader is involved
with planning or executing a corrosion prevention program, the logical place to start is in section 05-00.

Any inspection intervals provided within this manual should be the same as the intervals specified in the Main-
tenance Planning Manual (MPM/AMPI). If you find any differences, use the intervals given in the MPM/AMPI.

SECTION 05-00-00

CORROSION INSPECTION PROGRAM

1. GENERAL
A reliable corrosion control program must take into consideration factors such as geographical location and
specific operational environments, i.e. marine atmospheres, industrial air pollution, agricultural sprays, corro-
sive soils, abrasive dust and extreme temperatures.

The problem of corrosion is complex and subtle changes in the environment can drastically change the corro-
sion resistance of a metal and/or breakdown resistance of the protective finish system. Therefore, corrosion
control must be handled on a day-to-day basis. A specific program must be established which will assure that
all areas of the helicopter are checked on a periodic schedule. In addition, particular emphasis should be
placed on those areas which are known to receive more frequent damage to protective coatings.

An effective corrosion control program must include:

— Frequent and proper cleaning

— Application and timely reapplication of corrosion preventive compound and water displacing agents

— Early detection and repair of damaged protective coatings

— Neutralization of active corrosion, repair of corrosion damage and reapplication of protective finishes

— Replacement of components which are damaged beyond allowable limits

— Feedback of information for corrective action.

2. FACTORS AFFECTING CORROSION CONTROL

The damage of severity, the causes and the type of corrosion depend on many factors:

— Structural section size

— Material selection

— Quality of heat-treatment

— Preventive maintenance

— Environmental conditions and geographical location.

Structural section size, material selection and quality of heat-treatment cannot be controlled by the mainte-
nance personnel.

The preventive maintenance, when properly accomplished, will materially reduce the possibility and degree of
corrosion.

The environmental conditions under which the helicopter is maintained and operated greatly affect corrosion
characteristics. In a predominately marine environment (with exposure to sea water and salt air), moisture-
laden air is considerably more detrimental to an aircraft that it would be if all operations were conducted in a

05-00-00

dry climate. Temperature considerations are important because the speed of electrochemical attack is
increased in a hot, moist climate.

3. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Preventive maintenance includes the following specific functions:

— Adequate cleaning

— Thorough periodic lubrication

— Detailed inspection for corrosion and failure of protective systems

— Prompt treatment of corrosion and touch-up of damaged paint areas

— Keeping drain holes free of obstructions

— Daily draining of fuel cell sumps

— Daily wipe down of exposed critical areas

— Sealing of aircraft against water during foul weather and proper ventilation on warm, sunny days

— Maximum use of protective covers on parked helicopter.

SCHEDULED INSPECTION

1. REQUIREMENT
The scheduled inspection program specified in this section has been developed with the purpose to suggest
an integration to the Maintenance Schedule provided within the MPM/AMPI in order to enhance the corrosion
protection and control of the aircraft.

The inspection tasks type and interval are provided based on the category of aircraft operating environment:
Severe, Moderate and Mild as described in Section 20-40-00 Para 3.

NOTE: The Detailed Visual Inspection is known as DVI and the General Visual Inspection is known as GVI.

Each task should be performed at the scheduled maintenance frequency applicable to the installation/compo-
nent as per AMPI/MPM Chapter 5 or at the calendar interval specified in this section, depending on the cate-
gory of operating environment, whichever occurs first.

The operator, based on his own operational experience, may adapt the suggested schedule as needed to opti-
mize the effectiveness of the Corrosion Protection.

The Corrosion Protection Program will be effective only after the installation/components will be inspected and
protected according to the instructions provided in this manual.

DIMENSIONS AND AREAS

1. GENERAL
The AW119/AW109 series helicopter models include the A109A, the A109AII, the A109C, the A109K2, the
A109E, the A109S, the AW109SP, the A109BA, the A109LUH-Series and the A119 models. The structures of
all the above mentioned models are similar. The main differences are due to the changes required to accom-
modate different engine(s), different oil cooling fan(s), different doors (hinged or sliding) and different tail skid
(with or without lower tail fin). The structure of each of these models consists of two sections: the forward fuse-
lage and the aft fuselage (or tail boom).

This chapter gives the following helicopter informations:

— Principal dimensions (see Section 06-10-00)

— Reference lines (see Section 06-20-00).

REFERENCE LINES

1. AIRFRAME REFERENCE LINES

Reference lines Figure 06-20-00-1 are a useful tool used to identify or locate a precise location on the air-
frame. A location is given by specifying the intersection in space of various lines known as:

A. DATUM.

The datum is the origin from which the location or geometric characteristics of features of a part are estab-
lished.

B. FUSELAGE STATION LINES.

Fuselage station lines (abbreviated STA), are vertical reference lines as viewed from the side of the helicopter.
They express the distance in millimeters from the datum line of STA 0.0 of a given point. The datum line STA
0.0 is located 3362 mm forward of the main rotor shaft top centerline.

C. WATER LINES.

Water lines (abbreviated WL) are horizontal reference lines as viewed from the side or front of the helicopter.
They express the distance in millimeters above a line of origin located approximately 70 mm below the outer
surface of the cockpit floor.

D. BUTTOCK LINES.

Buttock lines (abbreviated BL) are vertical reference lines as viewed from the pilot seat of the helicopter. They
express the distance in inches from the center line of the helicopter. Dimensions given left of the center line are
referred to as left buttock line (LBL); dimensions given right of the center line are referred to as right buttock
line (RBL).

IDENTIFICATION, TYPES AND CAUSES

1. CORROSION
Corrosion is the electrochemical deterioration of a metal because of its chemical reaction with the surrounding
environment.

There are many different types of corrosive attack and these will vary with the metal concerned, corrosive
media, location and time of exposure.

Uniform corrosion generally occurs on unprotected areas and is most often the result of direct chemical attack.
It is seldom found on helicopters unless large areas of the protective finish have been removed or severely
damaged.

Localized corrosion is isolated to well defined areas and it is normally electrochemical in nature. Selective
attack is a form of localized corrosion which occurs in a specific phase or constituent of an alloy. This form of
attack usually starts as a pit and progresses along susceptible areas such as grain boundaries. In many cases,
the type of attack will indicate a possible cause and the degree of damage to be expected.

Brief descriptions of several types of corrosion are included in the next paragraphs. It is necessary that mainte-
nance personnel become familiar with these and other types of attack. This will allow maintenance personnel
to identify and classify the corrosion problems more easily and to initiate the proper corrective action.

2. FORM OF CORROSION

2-1. UNIFORM ETCH CORROSION

Uniform etch corrosion results from a direct chemical attack on a metal surface and involves only the metal
surface. On a polished surface, this type of corrosion is first seen as a general dulling of the surface, and if the
attack is allowed to continue, the surface becomes rough and possibly frosted in appearance. The discolora-
tion or general dulling of metal created by exposure to elevated temperatures is not to be considered as uni-
form etch corrosion.

2-2. PITTING CORROSION

The most common effect of corrosion on an aluminum and magnesium alloys is called pitting. It is first notice-
able as a white or gray powdery deposit, similar to dust, which blotches the surface. When the deposit is
cleaned away, tiny pits or holes can be seen in the surface. Pitting corrosion may also occur in other types of
metal alloys. The combination of small active anodes to large passive cathodes causes severe pitting. The
principle also applies to metals which have been passivated by chemical treatments, as well as for metals
which develop passivation due to environmental condition.

2-3. GALVANIC CORROSION

Galvanic corrosion occurs when two dissimilar metals make electrical contact in the presence of an electrolyte.

Metals and relevant alloys can be divided in four groups as shown in Table 20-10-00-1. The metals in the
same group have no tendency to produce galvanic corrosion and are relatively safe to use in contact. Of the
two metals, electrochemical attack will occur on the metal closer to the anodic end of the series. Refer to Table
20-10-00-2.

20-10-00
Page 1
A109/A119 SERIES-CPCP

The rate which corrosion occurs depends on the difference in the activities. The greater the difference in activ-
ity, the faster corrosion occurs. For example, magnesium would corrode very quickly when coupled with gold in
a humid atmosphere, but aluminum would corrode very slowly in contact with cadmium. The rate of galvanic
corrosion also depends on the size of the parts in contact. If the surface area of the corroding metal (the
anode) is smaller than the surface area of the less active metal (the cathode), corrosion will be rapid and
severe. When the corroding metal is larger than the less active metal, corrosion will be slow and superficial.

2-4. CONCENTRATION CELL CORROSION

Concentration cell corrosion is corrosion of metal in a metal-to-metal joint, corrosion at the edge of a joint even
though joined metals are identical, or corrosion of a spot on the metal surface covered by a foreign material.
Another term for this type of corrosion is crevice corrosion. Metal ion concentration cells, oxygen concentration
cells, and active-passive cells are the three general types of concentration cell corrosion.

2-5. INTERGRANULAR CORROSION

Intergranular corrosion is an attack along the grain boundaries of a material. Each grain has a clearly defined
boundary which, from a chemical point of view, differs from the metal within the grain center. The grain bound-
ary and grain center can react with each other as anode and cathode when in contact with an electrolyte.
Rapid selective corrosion at the grain boundary can occur with subsequent delamination. High-strength alumi-
num alloys such as 2014 and 7075 are more susceptible to intergranular corrosion if they have been improp-
erly heat-treated and are then exposed to a corrosive environment.

2-6. EXFOLIATION CORROSION

Exfoliation corrosion is an advanced form of intergranular corrosion where the surface grains of a metal are
lifted up by the force of expanding corrosion products occurring at the grain boundaries just below the surface.
The lifting up or swelling is visible evidence of exfoliation corrosion. Exfoliation is most prone to occur in
wrought products such as extrusions, thick sheet, thin plate and certain die-forged shapes which have a thin,
highly elongated platelet type grain structure. This is in contrast whit other wrought products and cast products
that tend to have an equiaxed grain structure.

2-7. FILIFORM CORROSION

Filiform corrosion is a special form of oxygen concentration cell corrosion or crevice corrosion which occurs on
metal surfaces having an organic coating system. It is recognized by its characteristic worm-like trace of corro-
sion products beneath the paint film. Filiform occurs when the relative humidity of the air is between 78 and 90
percent and the surface is slightly acidic. Corrosion starts at breaks in the coating system and proceeds under-
neath the coating due to the diffusion or water vapour and oxygen from the air through the coating. Filiform
corrosion can attack steel and aluminum surfaces. The traces never cross on steel, but they will cross under
one another on aluminum which makes the damage deeper and more severe for aluminum. If filiform corrosion
is not removed and the area treated and a protective finish applied, the corrosion can lead to intergranular cor-
rosion, especially around fasteners and at seams. Filiform corrosion can be removed using glass bead blasting
material with portable abrasive blasting equipment and/or mechanical means such as buffing or sanding. Fili-
form corrosion can be prevented by storing aircraft in an environment whit a relative humidity below 70 per-
cent, using coating systems having a low rate of diffusion for oxygen and water vapours, and by washing
aircraft to remove acidic contaminants from the surface, such as those created by pollutants in the air.

3. CORROSION AND MECHANICAL FACTORS

3-1. GENERAL

Corrosive attack is often aggravated by mechanical factors that are either within the part (residual) or applied
to the part (cyclic service loads). Erosion by sand and/or rain and mechanical wear will remove surface protec-
tive films and contribute to corrosive attack of underlying metal surfaces. Corrosive attack that is aided by
some mechanical factor usually causes the part to degenerate at an accelerated rate compared to the rate at
which the same part would deteriorate if it were subjected solely to corrosive attack. Environmental conditions
and the composition of the alloy also influence the extent of attack. Example of this kind of alliance are stress-
corrosion cracking, corrosion fatigue, and fretting corrosion.

3-2. STRESS-CORROSION CRACKING

Stress-corrosion cracking is an intergranular cracking of the metal which is caused by a combination of stress
and corrosion. Stress may be caused by internal or external loading. Internal stresses are produced by non-
uniform deformation during cold working, by unequal cooling from high temperatures, and by internal structural
rearrangement involving volume changes. Internal stresses are induced when a piece of structure is deformed
during an assembly operation, (i.e., during pressing in bushings, shrinking a part for press fit, installing interfer-
ence bolts, installing rivets, etc.). Concealed stress is more important than design stress, because stress-cor-
rosion is difficult to recognize before it has overcome the design safety factor. The level of stress varies from
point to point within the metal. Stresses near the yield strength are generally necessary to promote stress-cor-
rosion cracking, but failures may occur at lower stresses. Specific environments have been identified which
cause stress-corrosion cracking of certain alloys. Salt solutions and seawater may cause stress-corrosion
cracking of high strength heat-treated steel and aluminum alloys. Methyl alcohol-hydrochloric acid solutions
will cause stress-corrosion cracking of some titanium alloys. Magnesium alloys may stress-corrode in moist air.
Stress-corrosion may be reduced by applying protective coatings, stress relied heat treatment, using corrosion
inhibitors, or controlling the environment. Shot peening a metal surface increases resistance to stress-corro-
sion cracking by creating compressive stresses on the surface which should be overcome by applied tensile
stress before the surface sees any tension load. Therefore, the threshold stress level is increased.

3-3. CORROSION FATIGUE

Corrosion fatigue is caused by the combined effects of cyclic stress and corrosion. No metal is immune to
some reduction in its resistance to cyclic stressing if the metal is in a corrosive environment. Damage from cor-
rosion fatigue is greater than the sum of the damage from both cyclic stresses and corrosion. Corrosion fatigue
failure occurs in two stages. During the first stage, the combined action of corrosion and cyclic stress damages
the metal by pitting and cracks formation to such a degree that fracture by cyclic stressing will ultimately occur,
even if the corrosive environment is completely removed. The second stage is essentially a fatigue stage in
which failure proceeds by propagation of the crack (often from a corrosion pit or pits) and is controlled primarily
by stress concentration effects and the physical properties of the metal. Fracture of a metal part, due to fatigue

20-10-00
Page 4
 A109/A119 SERIES-CPCP

corrosion, generally occurs at a stress level far below the fatigue limit in laboratory air, even thought the
amount of corrosion is relatively small. For this reason, protection of all parts subject to alternating stress is
particularly important, even in environments that are only mildly corrosive.

3-4. FRETTING CORROSION

Damage can occur at the interface of two highly loaded surfaces which are not supposed to move against
each other. However, vibration may cause the surfaces to rub together resulting in an abrasive wear known as
fretting. The protective film on the metallic surfaces is remove by the rubbing action. The continued rubbing of
the two surfaces prevents formation of protective oxide film and exposes fresh active metal to the atmosphere.
Fretting can cause severe pitting. Dampening of vibration, tightening of joints, application of a lubricant, or
installation of a fretting resistant material between the two surfaces can reduce fretting corrosion.

INSPECTION AND DETECTION METHODS

1. GENERAL
Adequate inspection for corrosion cannot be accomplished by random, isolated examinations. A well planned
inspection guide and checklist are necessary to assure that no susceptible area is overlooked. Components
should be thoroughly examined for signs of corrosion at each routine inspection and additional corrosion
inspections should be conducted on a schedule which is consistent with the operational environment.

2. VISUAL INSPECTION
Visual inspection of cleaned surfaces should be supplemented by using optical aids such as a three to ten
power magnifying glass and adequate lighting. This inspection must not be limited to exterior or easily accessi-
ble areas. It must include all areas where corrosion can occur and especially those areas which are known to
be susceptible to a loss of or damage to the protective finish system.

3. INSPECTION OF PAINTED SURFACES

Corrosion in its initial stages, under paint, is difficult to detect. However, it usually results in blisters, flakes,
chips or other irregularities in the paint coating before severe damage occurs to the underlying metal. Painted
or primed surfaces should be inspected for evidence of discoloration, deterioration of gloss and other irregular-
ities.

Particular attention should be given to lap joints, seams, fastener heads and the edges of adhesive bonded
joints.

When flaws are found in the paint coatings, further investigation is required to determine if metal damage has
occurred.

4. INSPECTION OF SEALED JOINTS

Sealants, adhesives, and gaskets are normally used to prevent moisture or other fluids from entering joints
and seams.

These areas are potential sources for corrosion, therefore the integrity of the seal must be determined periodi-
cally.

4-1. VISUAL

Inspect for cracks in the sealant or areas of missing sealant. Look for evidence of water seeping out of a joint.

4-2. TAPPING

Lightly tap the suspected area with the edge of a coin. A change in sound may indicate a void in the seal.

4-3. WATER TIGHTNESS

When possible, after washing and rinsing, inspect interior area for evidence of seal leakage.

20-20-00

A109/A119 SERIES-CPCP

5. INSPECTION OF DRAIN TUBES AND HOLES

Inspect drain tubes and drain holes for crimping or plugging which may prevent proper drainage.

6. INSPECTION OF UNPAINTED SURFACES

Certain surfaces on the helicopter are not painted. Some alloys, such as stainless steel and titanium, are less
susceptible than carbon steel and aluminum to corrosion and do not normally require protective coating.

Other parts, because of their function, are not painted. These parts are protected by cadmium plating (steel),
anodizing (aluminum), other types of surface treatment or corrosion preventive compounds.

The Table 20-20-00-1 indicates the type of attack to be expected on different metal surfaces.

7. INSPECTION GUIDES
Routine maintenance inspections written in Maintenance Planning Information Publication should always
include corrosion detection. The corrosion control program presented in Section 05-10-00 should be used for
these inspections and they should be expanded as necessary to cover special operating conditions or expo-
sure to extreme environments.

8. NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING
The use of non-destructive inspection techniques, such as Penetrant, Eddy Current, Magnetic Particle, Radio-
graphic (X-Ray), Ultrasonic and others, may be necessary to determine the extent of corrosion damage.

These techniques must be employed by trained personnel using procedures and materials specified in the
Component Repair and Overhaul Publication.

9. COMPOSITE SURFACES
Although composite materials do not corrode, a visual inspection of their surfaces may indicate corrosion prob-
lems with attached or adjacent metals. Joints and seams should be inspected for evidence of corrosion prod-
ucts "bleeding out" from metal attachments or fasteners. Blisters on the composite surface may indicate
corrosion on metal sandwiched between layers. This can often be confirmed by tapping.

CLASSIFICATION OF CORROSION DAMAGE

1. GENERAL
When corrosion is found, a correct evaluation of probable damage is necessary in order that appropriate cor-
rective action may be taken. The function of the part concerned and the location of the corrosion on the part
will determine the action required.

The following general classifications of corrosion damage are suggested for use.

2. NEGLIGIBLE DAMAGE
Protective finish system has light damage and/or very light corrosive attack is evident.

— Area requires minor rework and touch-up of protective finish

— Helicopter may be operated but corrosion preventive compound or temporary paint touch-up should be
used to protect the area from further damage.

3. SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE
Protective finish system has extensive damage, corrosion products and/or pitting is evident or the extent of
damage cannot be confirmed. Damage in this category must be evaluated and further classified as follows:

3-1. REPAIRABLE DAMAGE

Evaluation reveals damage to be within the allowable limits specified in the applicable publication for the part
concerned. Parts must be reworked and/or refinished prior to continued use.

3-2. NON-REPAIRABLE DAMAGE

Evaluation of corroded area reveals damage in excess of limits specified in the applicable publication. Parts
must be removed from flight status immediately.

4. LIMITS
The following limits are applicable for airframe structures that do not have limits specified in the Structural
Repair Publication:

4-1. ALUMINUM ALLOY PARTS THAT HAVE SPECIAL TREATMENT

Corrosion damage on 7000 and 2000 series aluminum alloy parts that have had special treatments to preclude
stress and fatigue corrosion (such as shotpeening of surface and stress relieving), cannot be repaired unless
provisions are shown in the Structural Repair Publication.

4-2. ALUMINUM ALLOY PARTS THAT DO NOT HAVE SPECIAL TREATMENT

Sheet and formed 7000 and 2000 series and other aluminum alloy parts may be repaired within the following
limits:

20-30-00

— No more than 14 pits in any area, 25 mm (1.0 in) on a side

— Area can be repaired only once.

Crevice corrosion

Application: corrosion around or under fastener or between faying surfaces.

Restrictions:

— Limited to 20 % or a maximum of 5 fasteners in a pattern

— Fastener hole corrosion can be removed by drilling hole out to next size fastener and/or abrading and pol-
ishing surface to a maximum of 10% of corroded sheet thickness

— Repaired fastener hole will have minimum of 1.5 diameter edge distance

— Repair can be accomplished only once on part.

NOTE: If corrosion exceeds area limits, it may be possible to repair part by replacement of damaged material.

ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS

1. GENERAL
The probability of encountering corrosion damage to an helicopter is dependent on a number of factors such
as the degree of protection afforded during manufacture, the maintenance of the protection during service life,
and the environment in which the helicopter is operated.

Some environmental factors are within the control of the manufacturer or the operator such as the location of
battery compartments or the prevention of drainage from engine bays and decks. In these instances, recom-
mended inspection frequencies or requirements for preventive maintenance can be established which are not
dependent on the operator's route structure.

Other environmental factors are readily controllable by the operator, such as the salt-laden atmosphere in
marine locations or the airborne pollutants of industrial areas. In these circumstances, inspection and corro-
sion prevention frequencies become a variable.

2. ENVIRONMENT
Actual assessments of environmental conditions have to be made Locally by the operator. The environment is
a combination of many factors and some of those which should be considered are as follows:

2-1. MARINE ATMOSPHERE

Areas adjacent to salt water normally result in an atmosphere containing salt particles or salt saturated mois-
ture. The degree of salinity of the body of water, temperature and the direction of the prevailing winds create
wide variations in the corrosive properties of the atmosphere in coastal regions. It must be remembered that
salt water is an excellent medium for the promotion of electrolytic corrosion.

2-2. CONTAMINATED ATMOSPHERE

In industrial areas the atmosphere usually contains pollutants. There pollutants combine with water to form
highly corrosive liquids, for example, sulphur compounds are frequently found, which form sulphur based
acids. This can be an even greater hazard when the prevailing winds carry pollutants from a nearby industrial
plant to the aircraft parking area.

2-3. RAINFALL

Moderate rainfall in temperate or cold climates does not constitute an environmental problem. Heavy rainfall or
hail can result in damage to the finish which will help to initiate corrosion. Tropical rains result in a hot, humid
atmosphere which promotes corrosion. Refer to the subparagraphs on relative humidity and heat.

2-4. RELATIVE HUMIDITY

High relative humidity coupled with high temperature results in a water-saturated atmosphere in the helicopter
while on the ground. After takeoff, condensation occurs providing the medium for the onset of corrosion. High
humidity at lower temperatures is less of a problem, while ideal conditions are those with a Low relative humid-
ity.

20-40-00

A109/A119 SERIES-CPCP

2-5. TEMPERATURE

High temperature and low humidity are the best conditions because any moisture in the helicopter is dried out.
Similarly, an extremely cold atmosphere is also usually dry. However, combinations of high temperature and
high humidity provide the least desirable environment from the corrosion standpoint.

2-6. GROUND CONDITIONS

Helicopters operating from gravel, dirt or grass runways or from runways treated with sodium chloride for ice
removal are exposed to adverse conditions due to deterioration of the finish and the deposit of corrosive mate-
rials.

2-7. VOLCANIC HARSH AND GASES

Corrosive gases from volcanos are carried in the atmosphere in some regions. There is also a "fallout" zone
downwind of active volcanos which could be an undesirable element in some areas. Refer also to SIL-GEN-
10-018.

2-8. AIRBORNE ABRASIVES

Blowing sand or coral dust has an erosive effect on the finish, especially on blades and high-speed rotating
parts, and may find its way into the interfacing surfaces of moving parts or into bearings. This abrasion not only
creates a wear problem, it exposes unprotected metal to corrosion. The abrasive material itself may also be
corrosive, as would be the case with sand from salt water beaches.

3. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
To establish a corrosion prevention program to meet the operator's individual requirement, it must first be
ascertained how severe the operating environment is geographically, and then establish frequencies of inspec-
tion and prevention procedures to suit the route structure. Three categories of operating environment have
been established as follows:

— Severe - Applicable for aircraft flying in the following conditions:

— OAT above 28°C (82.4°F) and 75% relative humidity

or

— High solar radiation, OAT above 40° (104°F)

or

— Based onboard of ships

or

— based for more than 50% of the time within 1 km from the coast
or

— Flying for more than 50% of the time at low altitude (less than 1000 feet) over the sea
or

— Based form more than 50% of the time less than 1 km from factories where a fallout of erosive, chem-
icals, harsh can occur
or

— Flying for more than 50% of the time exposed to firefighting chemicals, insecticides, herbicides,
industrial chemicals or direct contacts with chemicals agents.

— Moderate - Applicable for aircraft flying in the following conditions:

20-40-00
Page 2
 A109/A119 SERIES-CPCP

— Based between 10% and 50% of the time within 1 km from the coast
or

— Flying for more than 50% of the time at low altitude (less than 1000 feet) over polluted cities
or

— Flying between 10% and 50% of the time at low altitude (less than 1000 feet) over the sea
or

— Flying between 10% and 50% of the time exposed to firefighting chemicals, insecticides, herbicides,
industrial chemicals or direct contacts with chemicals agents

— Exposed to sandy wind or landing on sandy ground

or

— Parked outdoor for more than 30% of the time.

— Mild - Warm arid zones or areas subject to extremely Low temperatures.

— Applicable for aircraft not flying in the above conditions.

However, the use of chemicals on runways and taxiways to prevent ice formation may transfer cold zones to
the severe category.

Frequencies of inspection or corrosion prevention action throughout this manual will be given for these three
categories where the operating environment is a contributing factor. The operating environment is defined as
being equivalent to the worst area of operation on the route structure on which the airplane is being used.
Thus, an helicopter starting in a mild location but flying to a severe area would be considered as operating in a
severe environment.

3-1. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION

SECTION 20-50-00

CORROSION REMOVAL

1. GENERAL
When you remove corrosion, complete removal is most important. If all of the corrosion is not removed, the
corrosion will continue. For example, if you find corrosion around fastener locations, you must remove the fas-
tener and look for corrosion under the fastener heads and in the holes. Corrosion removal around such fasten-
ers without fastener removal will not stop the corrosion under the fasteners.

Complete removal of corrosion products is also necessary, or the corrosion could come back. Carefully exam-
ine all of the area to make sure all corrosion products and other contamination are gone.

Dye penetrant inspection will not show if all of the corrosion products were removed from an area.

The area must be visually examined to be sure. The area must be clean, without paint, oil or grease, before
you can treat it for corrosion.

Corrosion can be removed by mechanical procedures or chemical procedures. The details and the selection
decision will be different for different amounts of corrosion and different types of metal.

2. SAFETY PROCEDURES
Refer to the applicable Maintenance Manual or Structural Repair Manual.

3. CLEANING
Refer to the applicable Maintenance Manual or Structural Repair Manual.

4. PAINT REMOVAL
Refer to the applicable Maintenance Manual or Structural Repair Manual.

5. CORROSION REMOVAL

5-1. GENERAL DATA

Corrosion products and damaged metal must be removed by the mildest method available to prevent addi-
tional damage to the part. Chemical treatments and mechanical methods may be used alone or in combina-
tion. The method used will depend on the alloy concerned, the depth of the corrosion damage and the function
of the surface.

CAUTION: IN ALL CASES, CORROSION REMOVAL MUST BE ACCOMPLISHED IN ACCORDANCE

WITH THE PROCEDURES AND LIMITS SPECIFIED IN THIS PUBLICATION FOR THE PART
CONCERNED.

Corroded parts must be evaluated before and after rework to determine the depth of the damage, size and
location of the affected area and the number of damaged areas.

20-50-00
Page 1
A109/A119 SERIES-CPCP

NOTE: The limits established in this publication for the part or surface concerned must not be exceeded.

Surfaces which have had corrosion removed are very susceptible to further corrosion if not properly protected.
Therefore, all parts which are considered to be reparable must be refinished as soon as practicable after corro-
sion removal or the surface must be protected from damage by the use of oil, grease, or corrosion preventive
compound prior to refinishing.

For data on the consumable materials refer to the applicable publication.

5-2. CHEMICAL TREATMENT

Chemical treatment may be used alone to remove light corrosion products on some surfaces. It should also be
used in conjunction with mechanical methods to assure that all corrosion products have been removed.

Aluminum, steel and stainless steel should be treated with Alcoholic phosphoric cleaner (TURCO WO NO.1
PH7):

— Solution concentration: 1 part cleaner to 3 parts water by volume

— Solution temperature: ambient

— Treatment time: 5 to 30 min (agitate or brush periodically).

Magnesium must be treated with a solution of chromic acid in water:

— Solution concentration: 180 g/dm³ (24 oz/US gal)

— Solution temperature: ambient to 71 °C

— Treatment time: as necessary to remove corrosion products.

5-3. MECHANICAL METHODS

Mechanical methods may be used alone to remove corrosion products and deteriorated metal when specifi-
cally required in this publication.

However, in other cases it is desirable to follow the mechanical method with a chemical treatment which will
aid in determining if all corrosion products have been removed.

The following methods are listed in increasing order of potential damage to a part:

— Hand sanding with abrasive mat

— Hand sanding with abrasive pad

— Hand sanding with abrasive paper (240 grit or 320 grit)

— Hand sanding with abrasive cloth

— Honing with stone

— Cleaning with glass bead

— Wire brush

— Mechanical scrapers

— Abrasive blasting (80, 100, 140 or 180).

20-50-00
Page 2
 A109/A119 SERIES-CPCP

Combinations of the above methods (i.e. scraper followed by hand sand and polish) should be used to provide
a final finish which is as smooth as the original part and to blend the damaged area smoothly into adjacent
areas to minimize surface irregularities.

CAUTION: MOTOR DRIVEN GRINDERS AND SANDERS MUST NOT BE USED BECAUSE OF POSSIBLE
LOCAL OVERHEATING ON THE BASE METAL.

6. CORROSION REMOVAL
The following procedures are recommended for removing corrosion products and deteriorated metal from the
alloys and surfaces indicated:

— Aluminum surfaces - Sheet metal parts and extrusions (except rotor blades).

— Aluminum surfaces - Machined parts, forgings and castings.

SECTION 20-60-00

SURFACE TREATMENT

1. GENERAL
The restoration of the protective finish on reworked parts is of extreme importance. The procedures and mate-
rials used must provide corrosion protection equal to the original finish.

For general painting, refinishing procedures and materials, refer to the applicable paragraph of this publication,
the Component Repair and Overhaul Publication and the Structural Repair Publication.

2. ALUMINUM SURFACES
Any surface which has been scratched or abraded should be given a new chemical conversion coating (MIL-
C-5541).

Any surface which is to be repainted must be given a fresh chemical conversion coating prior to priming.

Exterior anodized surfaces which are reworked and which were not originally painted, may be touched up with
chemical conversion coating only, provided the reworked area does not exceed 320 mm² (0.5 in²). Otherwise,
the surface must be given a chemical conversion coating followed by a coat of primer and a topcoat.

3. STEEL SURFACES

3-1. CADMIUM PLATED SURFACES

Re-cadmium plating of structural parts on the field is not authorized. However, those surfaces which have had
the plating removed by wear or rework should be refinished with brush cadmium plating solution (Cadmium
2023 Solution - MIL-STD-865) to the extent allowed by the applicable chapter of this publication.

When brush cadmium plating solution is not available, the surface must be coated with a minimum of two
coats of epoxy primer.

If the surface was originally plated and painted, it must be repainted after touch-up of the cadmium plating.

3-2. STEEL SURFACES NOT ORIGINALLY PLATED

Those surfaces which operate in grease or oil do not require refinishing. However, they must be protected prior
to assembly by oil or preservative compound.

All surfaces which were originally coated with solid film lubricant must be recoated.

All surfaces which were originally painted must be repainted.

3-3. STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES

Some stainless steel parts are plated and/or painted for protection of the part or for dissimilar metal protection
of mating surfaces. Therefore, any reworked surface which was coated originally must be refinished.

— Cadmium plated parts. Same as steel parts

— Painted parts. Apply primer and topcoat.

20-60-00
Page 1
A109/A119 SERIES-CPCP

3-4. MAGNESIUM SURFACES

All reworked magnesium surfaces must be treated with the conversion coating (Dow process 19 - MIL-M-3171
type IV).

Any surface which was painted originally must be repainted as soon as practicable, preferably within 24 h,
after treatment. All other surfaces must be protected with oil or preservative compound prior to assembly.

3-5. TITANIUM SURFACES

Titanium surfaces which were painted originally must be repainted prior to assembly.

SECTION 20-70-00

APPLICATION OF CHROMATES FREE ORGANIC CORROSION

INHIBITING COMPOUND

1. CLASSIFICATION
The chromate free organic corrosion inhibiting compounds are classified as CPC and JC, as follows. For prod-
uct details and intended use refer to Table 20-70-00-1.

1-1. CPC - CORROSION PREVENTIVE COMPOUNDS

1A. Solvent Cutback Corrosion Preventive Compound for Cold Application (MIL-PRF-16173); Grade 1, Grade
2, Grade 3, Grade 4.

1.B. Avionic Grade Ultra Thin Film Corrosion Preventive Compound (MIL-PRF-81309).

1.C. Dry Film Corrosion Preventive Compound (MIL-DTL-85054).

1.D. Corrosion Preventive Lubricant Compound.

1.E. Heat Resistant Dry Film Corrosion Preventive Compound.

The corrosion preventive compounds (CPC) are solvent dispersed compounds which deposit onto the surface
of the part coating films of various nature (dry/hard film, soft film, ultra-thin film, lubricant film, etc.), selected to
satisfy the specific protection requirement of the involved part.
These compounds are used on parts where a paint film might prove detrimental to operation (parts requiring
frequent disassembly, parts where a paint film would be removed by abrasion or flexing) or in addition to the
primary protection system (surface treatment, primer and topcoat), if deemed necessary to improve the protec-
tive performance, to obtain a secondary protection system.

1-2. JC - JOINTING COMPOUNDS

2.A. Chromate Free Jointing Compounds.

2.B. Heat Resistant Chromate Free Jointing Compounds.

The jointing compounds (JC) are non-setting protective compounds, paste-like in consistency, used for the wet
assembly of joints and fastening systems, to prevent the ingress of moisture and to provide protection from
general and galvanic corrosion. They are typically used for the protection of parts which require a frequent dis-
assembly.

2. EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENT

2-1. APPLICATION SITE

The application site of the organic corrosion inhibiting compounds (painting booth, hangar, final assembly line,
workshop, etc.) must be able to guarantee that the application area conditions (temperature, humidity and air
flow) comply with Para 5-1 of this section.
This rule does not apply to in service aircraft maintenance operations, where drying times variations may
occur, due to unmanageable environmental conditions.

20-70-00
Page 1
A109/A119 SERIES-CPCP

2-2. SPRAY APPLICATION SYSTEM

CPC:
The spray application is the recommended method for the application of the corrosion preventive compounds,
especially for those classified 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E (refer to Para 1).
The Chemetall Ardrox ACS/LCS Airmix, supplied with pressure pot, is the recommended system for the pro-
tection of large and complex surfaces.
The spray gun, the accessories and the air pressure used for the application of the CPC must be capable of
spraying a coat which complies with the requirements of Para 4. More details on spraying equipment are pro-
vided in the relevant product technical data sheets and manufacturer’s catalogues.
The use of aerosol cans is recommended only for localized applications, touch-up and small repairs.

JC:
The jointing compounds, due to their paste-like consistency, cannot be applied by spray.

2-3. COMPRESSED AIR

The compressed air must be filtered and free from oil, moisture and other contaminants (refer to Para 6-1-3).

3. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Organic corrosion inhibiting compounds must be applied on those areas and/or components which are consid-
ered to be at higher risk of corrosion, due to their direct or indirect exposure to particularly aggressive environ-
mental conditions. The application of the organic corrosion inhibiting compounds must be performed after all
inspections, maintenance activities and functional tests have been completed and prior to resumption of flight
operations.
All sealants and organic finish coatings on areas or within the vicinity of areas where the organic corrosion
inhibiting compounds are to be applied must be fully cured.
CPC and JC application on fasteners, nuts, bolts and screws, subsequently wet installed, must be omitted
along the threads in case of critical torque values requirement.
The organic corrosion inhibiting compounds are to be considered non-decorative coatings: runs, sags or other
minor film defects are allowed providing that the drain holes and ducts are not blocked and the uniformity of
coverage of the coating is guaranteed. CPC and JC condition must be checked during the regular aircraft
inspections / maintenance operations; the compounds must be re-applied when compliance with the require-
ments referred to in Para 4-1 is no longer fulfilled or impaired or in case of heavy soiling.

4. PRODUCT AND PROCESS REQUIREMENTS

4-1. APPEARANCE

CPC:
After application and levelling onto the treated surface, the CPC film must be uniformly spread, free from grit,
cavities, blisters or other similar surface irregularities. Runs, sags, over thickness and other minor film defects
are allowed in those areas which are difficult to be processed, due to their complex geometry and/or their criti-
cal positioning on the aircraft.
Depending on the selected product (refer to Table 20-70-00-1), the CPC film can be dry/hard, soft, firm non-
tacky, soft ultra-thin, soft lubricant, etc.

JC:
After application onto treated surface, the JC film must be uniform, free from grit, cavities, blisters or other sim-
ilar surface irregularities. Wavy material lines, streaks, runs and sags or other minor compound defects are
considered acceptable, providing that the uniformity of coverage of the treated part is guaranteed, before
assembly. JC film exhibits a paste-like, non-setting consistency.

20-70-00
Page 2
 A109/A119 SERIES-CPCP

4-2. THICKNESS

The thickness requirement applies only to the following CPC:

1.C. Dry Film Corrosion Preventive Compound (MIL-DTL-85054 / BM110P0006)

1.E. Heat Resistant Dry Film Corrosion Preventive Compound (BM110P0007)

and where it is physically possible to perform the measurement (due to the dimensions of the part).

It is important, however, to apply the right coating thickness of all CPC. The operator must take practice on
dedicated test specimens and/or scrap parts, in order to be confident with the thickness to be applied onto air-
craft parts.

The thickness values of the individual CPC are detailed in Table 20-70-00-2; concerning “soft film” CPC, the
“dry film” thickness value refers to the thickness of the coating once the solvent of the compound is evapo-
rated.

5. PROCEDURE REQUIREMENTS

5-1. APPLICATION SITE CONDITIONS

The organic corrosion inhibiting compounds must be applied in an adequately ventilated area (at least 0.5 m/s
air flow), where the temperature is 18÷35°C and the relative humidity (RH) is 35÷80%.
In addition, the application and drying areas must be as free as possible from airborne contamination.

5-2. SURFACE PREPARATION

The surfaces to be treated must be clean and dry, free from greases and oily substances and corrosion prod-
ucts. Remove excessive foreign material and moisture, if any, by means of vacuum cleaner and/or suitable
clean cotton cloths. Clean the surfaces with solvents according to MIL-PRF-680 Type II, Ardrox 5575 or Sat-
wipes C86 or according to the following method:

A. With a brush (or appropriate device), completely spread the cleaning solvent, by a mechanical motion to
distribute the solvent, removing the soil by working the brush in different directions; the cleaning area must
not be excessively large.

B. Before the solvent evaporates, absorb the contaminated solvent by wiping the wet surfaces with cloths,
gauzes and rags, until the surface is dry.

C. Repeat the previous steps on the same area with solvent and clean rags until the surfaces are free from
drying rings.

D. Repeat the whole process on the other soiled or greasy areas, until all the affected areas are uniformly
clean.

NOTE: During the cleaning process of the assemblies, with rubber, teflon parts or with sealed areas, it is nec-
essary to take great care to avoid damaging the non-metallic surfaces, by protecting them with water-
proof paper or adhesive tape.

When surfaces of avionics components have to be prepared, avionics technicians must understand all of the
specific features and restrictions associated with each part involved in the protective process, including every
possible hazards arising from the surface cleaning and preservation of these components. It is good practice
to use the method / product of cleaning that has the least impact on the treated part and that, at the same time,
ensure the proper degree of surface cleaning.
Tack rags may be used just prior to organic corrosion inhibiting compound application to remove loose dust, if
any, accumulated subsequent to surface cleaning.

20-70-00
Page 3
A109/A119 SERIES-CPCP

5-3. PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF ORGANIC CORROSION INHIBITING COMPOUNDS

5-3-1. Preparation

The organic corrosion inhibiting compounds, both CPC and JC, are single part materials formulated to be used
as supplied by the manufactures.

NOTE: The products must not be thinned.

Shake and/or stir the CPC to ensure a uniform consistency prior to use. This procedure does not apply to JC,
given their paste-like nature.

5-3-2. Masking

During the cleaning and application steps of the organic corrosion inhibiting compounds, there is a potential
risk of accidental contact with incompatible materials (mainly non-metallic). All areas not requiring the applica-
tion of the organic corrosion inhibiting compounds, except for those parts which have been tested for compati-
bility, must be masked to prevent potential damage by accidental contact, using masking tapes (3M-471, 3M -
3434) and paper suitable to withstand the solvent.

5-3-3. Application methods

5-3-3-1. Spraying (CPC only)

Adjust the spray equipment, the air pressure, control the rate of stroke and the distance from the surface to be
treated, in order to apply a film of corrosion preventive compound which, once dry, complies with the require-
ments of Para 4.

5-3-3-2. Brush or swab (CPC and JC)

Apply the material using a clean brush or a swab of appropriate dimensions. Once dry, the protective film coat-
ing must comply with the requirements as in Para 4.

5-3-3-3. Spatula (JC only)

Apply the material using a non-metallic spatula of appropriate dimensions. Once dry, the jointing compound
film must comply with the requirements of Para 4.

5-3-3-4. Filling and draining (CPC only)

Apply the corrosion preventive compound to the internal surfaces of tubing or tubular type parts, using one or
both of the following techniques:

A. Seal or plug, if necessary, one end of the tube or the tubular part (with hole) and introduce the compound
in the hollow part. Fill, shake and/or rotate as necessary to cover the internal surfaces. Remove the seal
or plug and drain excess material from the hollow part.

B. Let the corrosion preventive compound flow inside the tube or the tubular part while the part is rotating, so
as to cover all internal surfaces. Allow the excess material to drain.

5-3-3-5. Wet assembly (CPC and JC)

Perform wet assembly according to the rules defined in Section 20-80-00.

Apply the compound to both surfaces to be coupled, where possible, by means of brush or swab, spray, spat-
ula or fill and drain, as applicable, depending on the selected material.
Install immediately, removing excess compound with a clean, lint free cloth.

5-3-3-6. Bolted joints

(See Figure 20-70-00-1)

JC:
Must be applied only on the bolt shank prior to the installation. Avoid to apply the JC on the thread. Once the
bolt is installed, the JC will squeeze out; this is a normal condition and allows the JC to protect the mating sur-
faces. Once installed, clean the squeeze out as defined in Para 5-4-1 and Para 5-4-2. This is to allow the CPC
to adhere to the surface to be protected.

CPC:
Must be applied after torque application, with surface overlap of around 3 mm to ensure the complete sealing
of the joint. Cover completely the surface, including washer, nut, bolt head, cotter pin or locking wire.

5-3-4. Drying times (CPC only)

At room temperature (refer to Para 5-1), the drying times of the relevant CPC are detailed in Table 20-70-00-3,
as applicable. Drying times are to be intended as approximate; always refer to the updated product technical
data sheet (TDS), before use.

5-4. REFINISHING/REPAIRING

5-4-1. Refinishing

The surfaces treated with the organic corrosion inhibiting compounds, requiring the reapplication of the coating
due to aesthetic defects of the film not meeting the Appearance and Thickness requirements, as applicable, of
this manual, must be solvent cleaned and subsequently reworked according to Para 5-2 and Para 5-3.

CPC:
the corrosion preventive compound film must be removed according to method of Para 5-4-2, or with solvents
in accordance with MIL-PRF-680 Type II, Ardrox 5575 or Satwipes C86.

JC:
the jointing compound film must be removed according to method of Para 5-4-2, exclusively using solvents in
accordance with M.E.K. ASTM D-740 Type I, Acetone technical ASTM-D 329, Ardrox 5575 or Satwipes C86.

5-4-2. Manual cleaning method

5-4-2-1. Scope

This paragraph describes the procedures for manual cleaning with cold solvents of metal parts and assem-
blies, both painted and non-painted.
This method is used also for partial or localised cleaning of areas of parts or assemblies.

5-4-2-1-1. Compounds

Solvents: always request solvents for "cold cleaning" use.

A. Aliphatic naphtha

B. Methyl-ethyl-ketone (MEK)

C. Isopropyl alcohol

D. Acetone

E. Rags, cloths, new or washed and cleaned gauzes.

5-4-2-1-2. Safety notes

Vapours and solvents are subject to particular safety rules.

All products are flammable: observe all the safety precautions to avoid fires and explosions.

5-4-2-1-3. Limitations

On titanium alloys, use aliphatic Naphtha or MEK or isopropyl alcohol. On the painted or bonded parts, do not
use MEK or acetone.

5-4-2-2. Procedural requirements

5-4-2-2-1. Pre-cleaning

Heavy or thick grease must be removed beforehand, trying to remove them almost completely from the
affected surfaces by absorbing them with rags and cloths. Take special care to avoid or limit contamination of
cleaned surfaces by partially degreased parts: recover and absorb the grease in the central areas of the
greasy parts.

20-70-00
Page 9
A109/A119 SERIES-CPCP

5-4-2-2-2. Cleaning

Parts with average or heavy soils, precleaned as shown in the previous point of this method and the parts
which have soil or light grease must be cleaned according to the following steps. With a brush (or appropriate
device), completely spread the cleaning solvent, by a mechanical motion to distribute the solvent, removing
the soil by working the brush in different directions; the cleaning area must not be excessively large. Before the
solvent evaporates, absorb the contaminated solvent by wiping the wet surfaces with cloths, gauzes and rags,
until the surface is dry. Repeat the previous steps on the same area with solvent and clean rags until the sur-
faces are free from drying rings. Repeat the whole process on the other soiled or greasy areas, until all the
affected areas are uniformly clean.

NOTE: During the cleaning process of the assemblies, with rubber, teflon parts or with sealed areas, it is nec-
essary to take great care to avoid damaging the non-metallic surfaces, by protecting them with water-
proof paper or adhesive tape.

5-4-3. Repair

Surfaces treated with the organic corrosion inhibiting compounds, which show signs of contamination and/or
damage, must be repaired in accordance with one of the following methods.

5-4-3-1. Method 1 - Organic film repairing

Damaged areas to a depth not sufficient to affect the surface treatment of the base material must be locally
reworked according to Para 5-4-1, as applicable, with slight movement of a clean, lint free cloth soaked with
solvent to remove any raised film and/or surface defect, to obtain a smooth base material surface free of com-
pound, covering the repair area. Locally restore the film in accordance with Para 5-2 and Para 5-3.

Surfaces treated with BM110P0006 and BM110P0007 corrosion preventive compound (CPC), showing acci-
dental surface contamination such as shoe prints, can be cleaned using Ardrox 6023 dry cleaner and polisher,
by 15÷20% V/V in water, without removal of the CPC film layer.

5-4-3-2. Method 2 - Surface treatment and organic film repairing

Scratches, abrasions or areas of adhesion failure to the base material must be reworked in accordance with
Method 1 (Para 5-4-3-1), followed by light sanding of the area to remove any raised metal, primer and topcoat,
to produce a smooth surface finish using Abrasive paper 320 or finer grit size alumina oxide abrasive paper or
abrasive pad.
Locally treat repaired surfaces according to A119/A109 SERIES-SRM, before reapplying the organic corrosion
inhibiting compound, in accordance with Para 5-2 and Para 5-3.
Both dry and wet sanding is allowed as appropriate.
Depending on the type of part subject to reprocessing and the type/extent of the damage, specific repair
instructions must be issued from the technical reference area.

6. CONTROL AND PROCESS CONTROL REQUIREMENTS

6-1. TEST METHODS

6-1-1. Appearance

Surfaces treated with the organic corrosion inhibiting compound must be visually inspected for compliance
with requirements specified in Para 4-1.

NOTE: If visual inspection shows colour or appearance variations, evaluate film refinishing.

20-70-00
Page 10
 A109/A119 SERIES-CPCP

6-1-2. Thickness

Corrosion preventive compound (CPC) film thickness must be measured by means of a suitable wet film thick-
ness gauge, where dimensionally practical, on each component / treated area and must conform to the
requirements of Para 4-2.

Thickness testing of the CPC must be accomplished on the flat area of a part which has not been subject to
overspray due to angles, edges or complex shapes. The thickness measurements must be taken as the aver-
age of at least 5 wet readings on large areas (e.g. structural assemblies) and as 1 wet reading for components
/ minor parts.

6-1-3. Compressed Air

The air quality must be checked daily. Alternatively one of the following methods can be used:

A. blowing the air on a clean mirror with the nozzle at a distance of 20÷25cm for 15÷30 seconds with a fully
opened valve. The mirror surface having a minimum area of 7.6 X 7.6 cm, visually inspected must show
absence of water, oil, particulate and any other contaminants.

B. check air line cleanliness by directing the air blast onto clean, white filter paper for 10 to 20 seconds at a
distance of approx. 75mm. There should be no contamination present.

To avoid false indications, it is necessary that the equipment reaches operating pressure and that a sufficient
quantity of air must be released, to remove accumulated condensation in the equipment.
Perform the test at the points of use.

SECTION 20-70-10

APPLICATION OF SOLID FILM LUBRICANT

1. EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS

1-1. SPRAY EQUIPMENT

Conventional spray equipment can be used for this process. Suitable nonabsorbent containers shall be availa-
ble for mixing and/or thinning the lubricants and for dip or brush application.

1-2. COMPRESSED AIR

Compressed air shall be filtered, free from oil, moisture and other contaminants.

1-3. OVENS FOR CURING

The ovens, used for solid film lubricant curing shall have a temperature uniformity, in the work zone, within
±8°C. They shall also be equipped with a ventilation system, to circulate the air around the components to be
heated. If a combustion oven is used, the gases produced shall not come into contact with the components.

1-3-1. Temperature cut-off

The oven shall be fitted with a manually pre-set automatic temperature cut-off device, capable of preventing
overheating (see Table 20-70-10-2), which could result in damaging the parts.

2. GENERAL INFORMATION AND REQUIREMENTS

2-1. INTENDED USE

The solid film lubricants specified (see Table 20-70-10-1), are intended for use on metallic surfaces, where
conventional lubricants are difficult to apply or maintain in place, or where other lubricants are easily contami-
nated by dust and dirt. Solid film lubricants are generally suitable for application on parts involved in sliding
movements, but are not intended for use with oils and greases, except in cases, where favorable performance
characteristics are verified.

Solid film Iubricant can be useful, where fretting and subsequent failure occurs, due to fretting fatigue. In these
cases, it is advisable to use type I or type III lubricants, compatible with the requirements of the curing temper-
ature.

Solid film lubricants shall not be used on materials which would have the properties affected by exposure to
the temperatures required for curing. This section covers the various types of solid film lubricants, described in
Para 4.

2-2. INFORMATION

The following information, is to be taken into consideration, by the designers, for the choice of specific applica-
tions or combinations of:

— substrate material

— surface preparation

20-70-10
Rev. 1 Page 1
A109/A119 SERIES-CPCP

— type of lubricant.

2-2-1. Faying surfaces

In respect to contact surfaces, the solid film lubricant shall be applied to only one surface.

2-2-2. Hardness of base material

Both the load carrying capacity and the endurance wear life are directly proportional to the hardness of the
contacting surfaces. The optimum combination therefore, is that of a hard surface to a hard surface.

If one of the contacting surfaces is harder than the other, the harder of the two shall be coated with the solid
film lubricant.

NOTE: In cases of fastened static joints, only one faying surface should be coated.

2-2-3. Surface roughness

In order to achieve optimum load carrying capacity and endurance wear life, the surface to be coated should
have a roughness of:

— RHR 0.4 µm (16 µinch) before grit blasting

— RHR 0.8 µm (32 µinch) before surface treatment.

Uncoated faying surfaces should have a RHR 0.1 µm (8 µinch) roughness.

2-2-4. Grit blasting

Load carrying capacity and endurance wear life of low alloy or corrosion resistant steel are improved when the
surface to be coated is lightly grit blasted before surface treatment with either phosphating or passivation.

2-2-5. Surface treatments

Table 20-70-10-3 lists a summary of the recommended treatments, which materials should undergo before the
application of the solid film lubricant and which are described, in detail, in the following paragraphs.

2-2-5-1. Low alloy steels

Maximum load carrying capacity and endurance wear life are achieved when the Iubricant is applied to a sur-
face which has been grit blasted, cleaned and phosphate treated. The lubricant may be applied over cadmium
plating, nickel plating or chromium plating; however, this will result in a slightly reduced Ioad carrying capacity
and endurance wear life.

2-2-5-2. Corrosion resistant steels

Maximum Ioad carrying capacity and endurance wear life are achieved when the solid film Iubricant is applied
to lightly grit blasted and passivated surfaces. The solid film Iubricant performs well, even when applied to sur-
faces which have only been passivated or prepared for bonding or welding.

2-2-5-3. Aluminum alloys

Maximum load carrying capacity and endurance wear life are achieved, when the solid film lubricant is applied
to un-sealed hard anodized surfaces. The solid film lubricant may be applied to surfaces which have been
chromic acid anodized or those treated by chemical conversion; however, this will result in a reduction of the
Ioad carrying capacity and endurance wear life.

20-70-10
Page 2
 A109/A119 SERIES-CPCP

2-2-5-4. Magnesium alloys

Maximum load carrying capacity and endurance wear life are achieved, when the solid film lubricant is applied
to anodized surfaces (Dow 17 or HAE). The solid film lubricant may also be applied to surfaces treated with
Dow 7, chromium manganese or those touched up with Dow 19.

2-2-5-5. Titanium alloys

Maximum load carrying capacity and endurance wear life are achieved, when the solid film Iubricant is applied
to anodized (D.T.D. 942) or fluophosphate treated surfaces. The solid film Iubricant may also be applied to
bare surfaces, which have undergone grit blasting, however, this will result in a reduction in Ioad-bearing
capacity and endurance wear life.

2-2-5-6. Plated surfaces

Maximum load carrying capacity and endurance wear life, wiII depend on the nature of the plating. Irrespective
of the presence of solid film lubricant, a soft form of plating, such as cadmium plating, will have a lower load
carrying capacity, than a hard one, such as chromium plating. Before application of the solid film lubricant, all
plated surfaces shall be treated as indicated in Table 20-70-10-3.

2-2-5-7. Hard surface coatings

The solid film lubricant may be applied to hard coatings applied using a detonation gun or plasma spray proc-
ess.

3. PRODUCT AND PROCESS REQUIREMENTS

3-1. APPEARANCE

The cured solid film Iubricant coating shall be uniform in color, smooth, and free of cracks, blisters, scratches,
runs, rough particles, pinholes or the presence of foreign material.

3-2. THICKNESS

The thickness of the cured solid film lubricant film shall be from 0.005 to 0.010 mm, unless otherwise specified
by the engineering drawing.

When the thickness exceeds the requirements herein specified or the requirements specified by the engineer-
ing drawing, it may be reduced by abrasion, as indicated in Para 4-6-2.

3-3. COATING ADHESION

The cured coating shall not indicate any evidence of loss of adhesion, when tested in accordance with Para 5-
1-3-1. Powdery deposits, adhering to the tape are acceptable, once it has been verified that the base metal is
not exposed.

3-4. CHOICE OF LUBRICANT

This section describes the use of four types of solid film lubricants. When the working drawing does not specify
the type of solid film lubricant to use, reference will be made to Table 20-70-10-2.

— Type I (BM100L186)
(Ref. SAE AS5272 Type I Replaces MIL-L-46010D Type I)
This is the standard solid film lubricant. It provides excellent load carrying capacity, wear life and corrosion
resistance.
Type I may be used on parts that are able to withstand the 175±6°C for 1 hour curing cycle and therefore
shall not be used on case hardened or induction hardened parts or on aluminum and magnesium alloys.

20-70-10
Page 3
A109/A119 SERIES-CPCP

— Type II (BM100L521)
(Ref. MIL-L-23398 Type I)
This type of solid film lubricant may be used on case hardened or induction hardened parts and on alumi-
num and magnesium alloys.

— Type III (BM100L364)

(Ref. SAE AS5272 Type II Replaces MIL-L-46010D Type II)
This is a solid film lubricant with similar properties as Type I. It shall be cured at a temperature of 204°C,
for one hour, in order to achieve maximum wear and corrosion resistance. Alternatively, it may be cured at
150°C for 2.5 hours, in which case, however, both wear and corrosion resistance are reduced.
Type III shall not be used unless specifically required by the engineering drawing.

— Type IV (BM100L645)
(Ref. MIL-L-23398 Type II)
This type of solid film lubricant is air cured and can be used for touchup. It can only be applied to compo-
nents already coated with any one of the types of solid film lubricant above described.

4. PROCEDURE REQUIREMENTS

4-1. SURFACE PREPARATION

Before applying the solid film Iubricant, surfaces shall be prepared in accordance with the requirements of
Table 20-70-10-3.
Solid film lubricant shall be applied within the shortest time, as practical, after the surface treatment, however
within the maximum delay times as specified in Table 20-70-10-3.

4-2. MASKING

Surfaces not requiring solid film Iubricant application, shall be suitably protected.

4-3. LUBRICANT PREPARATION

Solid film Iubricant settles rapidly, so that any container shall be shaken vigorously, before use. It may be
thinned, if required, in accordance with the manufacture’s instructions.

4-4. APPLICATION

Solid film lubricants may be applied by spray, brush or by immersion. The most commonly used method is
spraying.

4-4-1. Spraying

Adjust the gun and air pressure, so as to apply a thin, wet coat. Apply successive coats, to achieve the desired
thickness.

NOTE: Allow sufficient time between applications, for evaporation of the solvent (approximately 15 minutes).

4-4-2. Immersion

Immerse components slowly, in the thinned Iubricant, a sufficient number of times, to satisfy the thickness
requirements.

NOTE: Allow sufficient time between one immersion and the next, for evaporation of the solvent.

4-4-3. Brush application

Use a clean brush and apply a sufficient number of passes, to achieve the required thickness.

20-70-10

HELICOPTER WASHING

1. GENERAL

A. Washing helps decrease corrosion as well as maintain the appearance of the helicopter. Procedures for
helicopter washing are detailed below.

B. Cleanliness is of primary importance in the prevention of corrosion. Contaminating material such as chem-
icals, soils, salt deposits, debris, grease, fluids, etc., in contact with a painted or metal surface provide
active areas for deterioration and corrosive attack. The extent of the damage depends on the nature of the
contaminant, the surface concerned and the time they remain in contact. Therefore, the more frequently a
surface is cleaned, the less likelihood that corrosive attack will be started. But other factors are important
in a washing program:

(1) Washing and in particular high-pressure water or steam can get moisture into areas not usually con-
taminated. In addition it can cause damages to high-speed rotating parts, especially bearings, where
the film of grease or lubricant is vital for the proper reliability of the system.

(2) The detergents used for washing can cause corrosion if they are not fully rinsed off. Rinsing can be a
problem if high-pressure hoses pushed for washing solution into small cavities.

(3) Any washing solution that removes unwanted grease and oil will also remove the grease and oil that
must stay for lubrication. Lubrication will be necessary.

(4) Frequent washing will in time remove corrosion inhibiting compounds, such as CPC 1A, 1B, 1C or
1D. The time is a function of the frequency of washing and the strength of the detergent.

2. CLEANING MATERIALS
Rinsing the exterior of the helicopter with clean water is an effective means for removing light contamination
and salt residue. However, thorough cleaning with solvents and detergents is necessary for removal of accu-
mulated soils, salt deposits, and heavy contamination. Internal engine washings should be scheduled prior to
general cleaning of the helicopter. The compounds used for engine cleaning may cause streaks and spots on
the painted surfaces if not removed by washing.

2-1. SOLVENTS

Oily soils and semi-solid soils should be removed with solvents. Materials such as Stoddard Solvent (P-D-
680), Aliphatic Naphtha, or Safety Solvent (O-T-620), should be used. These solvents will not harm the organic
finish system on the helicopter. However, O-T-620 should not be used on rubber gaskets, seals, elastomeric
bearings or other elastomeric materials.

2-2. CLEANING COMPOUND

Solid soils and light oily soils which remain after solvent cleaning should be removed with water and cleaning
compound. Compound MIL-C-43616 is suitable. The cleaning compounds may be applied by hand or low
pressure (10 to 15 psi) spray.

CAUTION: THE USE OF STEAM CLEANING OR HIGH PRESSURE SPRAYS IS NOT RECOMMENDED.

20-90-00
Page 1
A109/A119 SERIES-CPCP

The cleaning compounds should not leave a residue on painted or unpainted surfaces. The materials specified
are non-etch alkaline waterbased cleaners. Concentrations should be adjusted to provide optimum cleaning
without leaving a residue on the cleaned surface.

CAUTION: SOME OF THE READILY AVAILABLE HOUSEHOLD CLEANERS AND AUTOMOTIVE CLEAN-
ERS CAN CAUSE CORROSION AND/OR LEAVE A RESIDUE THAT CAN RESULT IN CORRO-
SION. THEREFORE, ALL MATERIALS SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY TESTED PRIOR TO USE.

2-3. WATER

The type of water used for washing and rinsing the helicopter is critical. Much of the world's water contains
chlorides, sulfates, and other salts. If these salts are allowed to accumulate between faying surfaces, in joints,
seams, or other entrapment areas, corrosive attack can result. Therefore, precautions must be taken to pre-
vent entrapment. In those areas where it is known that the water contains excessive amounts of dissolved
salts, it is recommended that deionized or demineralized water be used for final rinsing.

2-4. DRYING

Cleaning solutions and rinse water should not be allowed to accumulate and evaporate on either a painted sur-
face or a metal surface.

Excess water should be removed with clean cloths, sponges, etc., or by blowing with low pressure air. Water
entrapped in faying surfaces, seams or joints should be removed by blowing with low pressure air (10 to 15
psi). The use of a water displacing agent is useful in seams and joints that cannot be completely dried.

NOTE: It is recommended that all compressed air be filtered to render it free from oil and moisture before use.

2-5. CLEANING PROCEDURE - GENERAL

A. Preparing helicopter for cleaning.

(1) Cover static vents, pitot tubes, air ducts, heater ducts, etc., to prevent entrance of cleaning solution.

(2) Make sure all drain holes are open.

(3) Mask as necessary.

B. Cleaning.

(1) Wipe off spilled oil, grease, hydraulic fluid, etc., with a solvent.

(2) Apply the cleaning solution by hand or spray. Use sponges, soft brushes, or cloths to loosen soils.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE HIGH PRESSURE SPRAYS. DO NOT FLUSH LUBRICANTS FROM BEARINGS.

NOTE: Work small areas to prevent the cleaning solution from drying on the surface. It is usually advanta-
geous to start at the lower surfaces and work outward and upward.

(3) Rinse away loosened soil and cleaner residue with a stream of water. Check for residue by lightly
wiping with a cloth. Reclean and rinse as needed to eliminate residue.

(4) Follow the cleaning with an overall rinse.

(5) Dry.

COMMUNICATIONS

1. GENERAL
Corrosion can occur between the exterior-mounted antennas and the fuselage skin.

2. CORROSION PREVENTION
Regularly remove the antennas and examine the mating surfaces for corrosion. For maintenance procedures
related to antennas removal/installation, refer to each applicable A119/A109 SERIES-MMs, Section 23.

Particular attention must be paid in examination of fuselage mating surfaces. Inspect holes and fasteners for
presence of corrosion and presence of anti-corrosion treatment.

Once removed, antennas shall be cleaned with a clean lint-free cloth, moistened in isopropyl alcohol. Use a
cleaning rag and white spirits to clean all residual gasket material, bonding paste, sealant, dirt and grime from
the antenna mounting surface on the helicopter's skin.

Following the installation, clean and then fillet seal the periphery of the interface of the antenna with the fuse-
lage. Use sealing compound Naftoseal MC-780 Class-B.

3. CORROSION PROTECTION
Unless already present and provided by the design of basic helicopter, it is allowed to additionally protect from
corrosion the mating surfaces between antennas and helicopter parts.

These additional protections consist in Polyurethane sealant gaskets with embedded aluminun conductive
nets on the inside:

Corrosion and environmental conditions are natural phenomena that adversely affect the EWIS.

Although they can never be totally eliminated, the problems these phenomena cause can be minimized so that
they are more manageable.

This can be achieved only by understanding the EWIS failure mechanisms, implementing a preventive mainte-
nance program, and using corrosion control techniques and materials.

FIRE PROTECTION - GENERAL

1. GENERAL
The fire protection system consists of a fire detection system and an extinguisher system. In addition to this,
one or more portable fire extinguishers are installed in a position easily accessible to the aircrew.

The engine fire detection system signals the presence of excessive temperature or flames in the engine com-
partments. The system consists of independent circuits, one for each engine, comprising fire detectors
installed in the engine compartment firewalls, connected by wiring harness to the IDS (Integarted Display Sys-
tem).

The engine fire extinguisher system consists of bottles containing extinguishing agent, located one behind
each engine bay below the exhaust duct, and the necessary pipings to carry the extinguisher agent into the
engine compartments. Each bottle is connected to a disc-type discharge indicator, visible from the helicopter
exterior, for an easy check of the bottle charge.

NOTE: The extinguishing agent is non-corrosive and special cleaning of compartment after use is not
required.

Periodic inspection is required to areas identified as susceptible to corrosion and should be consistent to the
schedules specified in the Chapter 05. Operators must be aware of reported problems and areas of occur-
rences.

Periodic application of CPC compounds is necessary to areas identified.

HYDRAULIC POWER - GENERAL

1. GENERAL
The hydraulic system has the purpose to transform an hydraulic power into a mechanical power. This is due
through pumps and actuators. The fluid is normally distributed through pipes and tubes, rigid and flexible.

Actuators and tube are normally located in the helicopter roof areas (MR Servo), in the tail boom (TR Servo),
and in the landing gear wheels (LDG Actuators). Pumps, filters as well as valves are located mostly in the hel-
icopter roof whilst some of the valves are located in the lower helicopter nose compartment.

Valves, filters and pumps can be affected by corrosion phenomena especially when exposed to outside airflow
or to moisture accumulation. If not protected, corrosion resistant aluminum alloys can be attached by corro-
sion.

2. CORROSION PREVENTION
Periodic inspection is required to areas identified as susceptible to corrosion and should be consistent to the
schedules specified in Section 05-10-00. Operators must be aware of reported problems and areas of occur-
rences.

Periodic application of CPC compounds is necessary to identified areas.

LANDING GEAR - GENERAL

1. GENERAL
The landing gear supports the aircraft while the aircraft is on the ground. This includes the shock strut, drag
strut, doors, linkages, and attach bolts. The landing gear and its components are exposed to air contaminants
and runway splash which can cause corrosion.

Operation in erosive, salt laden, polluted or humid areas can increase corrosion phenomena on the landing
gear and its related hardware. This parts must be regularly checked and protected against corrosion in order to
avoid parts to be discarded and replaced.

Periodic inspection is required to areas identified as susceptible to corrosion and should be consistent to the
schedules specified in the Chapter 05. Operators must be aware of reported problems and areas of occur-
rences.

Periodic application of CPC compounds is necessary to areas identified.

2. CORROSION PREVENTION
Periodic inspection is required to areas identified as susceptible to corrosion and should be consistent to the
schedules specified in Section 05-10-00. Operators must be aware of reported problems and areas of occur-
rences.

Periodic application of CPC compounds is necessary to identified areas to preclude or detect early stages of
corrosion. Missing fasteners, white powder or any discolored deposits are evidence of the existence of corro-
sion which should alert operators that some corrective action is required.

STABILIZERS - GENERAL

1. GENERAL
The two horizontal stabilizers have the purpose to provide a wider center of gravity range and to prevent the
helicopter from having an excessive nose down attitude during forward flight.

The stabilizers are of conventional riveted construction consisting of a box spare and rib covered by a riveted
aluminium skin.

The stabilizers are supported with a hollow aluminium torque shaft, which passes through the support brackets
in the tail boom. The outboard ends of the torque shaft supply the holes where the stabilizers are fixed with
bolts, nuts and special conical bushes.

On the outboard end of each stabilizer are bolted special weights in order to reduce the vibration level. The
weights are covered with a screwed plastic cap (or carbon fiber winglet).

The torque shaft is fixed to the inner rib of the tail boom with an adjustable rod through a lever.

Operation in erosive, salt laden, polluted or humid areas can increase corrosion phenomena on the stabilizer
and its related hardware. This parts must be regularly checked and protected against corrosion in order to
avoid parts to be discarded and replaced.

Periodic inspection is required to areas identified as susceptible to corrosion and should be consistent to the
schedules specified in the Chapter 05. Operators must be aware of reported problems and areas of occur-
rences.

Periodic application of CPC compounds is necessary to areas identified.

MAIN ROTOR - GENERAL

1. GENERAL
Corrosion can occur on several parts of the Main Rotor installation. This is because the hardware and the main
components are highly exposed to environmental agents during operations and when aircraft is parked out-
side. Operation in erosive, salt laden or polluted areas can increase this effect.

Main components and hardware must be regularly protected against corrosion in order to avoid parts to be
reworked or, at worst, scrapped.

MAIN ROTOR DRIVE - GENERAL

1. GENERAL
The main rotor drive system has the purpose to transmit the rotating power from the engine(s) to the main
rotor. It consists of the following main parts:

— Main rotor shaft(s)

— Main transmission

— Main transmission mounts and attachments

— Rotor brake.

The main rotor shaft transmits the engine torque to the main transmission. It is installed between the engine
power output of the engine accessory gearbox and the input adapter (freewheel unit) of the coupling gearbox
on the main transmission assembly.

The main transmission supports and drives the main rotor. It consists of the following parts:

— Coupling gearbox

— Main reduction gearbox

— Mast and bell housing.

The main transmission mounts and attachments hold the main transmission to the helicopter fuselage.

The rotor brake system is used to stop the rotation of the rotor after the engine power-off conditions.

The main rotor drive system must be regularly checked and protected against corrosion in order to avoid unre-
pairable damages, requiring parts to be discarded.

Periodic inspection is required to areas identified as susceptible to corrosion and should be consistent to the
schedules specified in the Chapter 05. Operators must be aware of reported problems and areas of occur-
rences.

Periodic application of CPC compounds is necessary to identified areas.

TAIL ROTOR - GENERAL

1. GENERAL
Corrosion can occur on several parts of the Tail Rotor installation. Due its peculiar design and high-rotational
speed, tail rotor rotating controls are severely exposed to air flow other than rain, hail, dust and salt laden air.
When aircraft is parked outside, parts are also exposed to environment effect.

Operation in erosive, salt laden, polluted or humid areas can increase corrosion phenomena on the tail rotor
and its related hardware. This parts must be regularly checked and protected against corrosion in order to
avoid parts to be discarded and replaced.

Periodic inspection is required to areas identified as susceptible to corrosion and should be consistent to the
schedules specified in the Chapter 05. Operators must be aware of reported problems and areas of occur-
rences.

Periodic application of CPC compounds is necessary to areas identified.

TAIL ROTOR DRIVE - GENERAL

1. GENERAL
The tail rotor drive system has the purpose to transmit rotating power from the engine(s) to the tail rotor. It
includes the drive shafts, the 90° gearbox and all the hanger bearings. Especially the 90° gearbox, made of
magnesium alloy, is exposed to air contaminants, rain and pollution that is present in the atmosphere. Due to
position in the aircraft, accumulation of moisture can occur especially in presence of humid and dusty air.

Tail Rotor Drive Shafts and gearbox must be regularly checked and protected against corrosion in order to
avoid unrepairable damages, requiring parts to be discarded.

Periodic inspection is required to areas identified as susceptible to corrosion and should be consistent to the
schedules specified in the Chapter 05. Operators must be aware of reported problems and areas of occur-
rences.

Periodic application of CPC compounds is necessary to identified areas.

ROTORS FLIGHT CONTROL - GENERAL

1. GENERAL
The flight controls provide the correct responses when the pilot makes control selections, giving positive con-
trol of attitude, speed and altitude of the helicopter. The helicopters incorporate collective, cyclic and anti-
torque pedals, operated by the following cockpit controls:

— Collective pitch lever

— Cyclic stick

— Tail rotor (yaw) pedals.

A mixing unit in the collective/cyclic control system integrates the control inputs from both systems and pro-
vides a common output to the collective/cyclic actuators. The flight controls are described under the following
main sub-systems:

— Main rotor control, composed by:

— Collective pitch control

— Cyclic pitch control

— Mixing control

— Tail rotor control

— Servo control.

Periodic inspection is required to areas identified as susceptible to corrosion and should be consistent to the
schedules specified in the Chapter 05. Operators must be aware of reported problems and areas of occur-
rences.

Periodic application of CPC compounds is necessary to identified areas.

2. MAIN ROTOR CONTROL

2-1. COLLECTIVE PITCH CONTROL

The system is a conventional rigid control tube type and is controlled by the collective pitch control lever
located on the left side of the pilot and co-pilot seats.

Movements of the collective lever are transmitted by the control system to the mixing group. The force required
to the collective control can be adjusted by operating the adjustable friction knob. The control can be locked in
any position by tightening the friction knob completely. The co-pilot controls are identical to the pilot controls
with the exception of the hand grip.The system incorporates a collective pitch magnetic brake.

67-00-00
Rev. 2 Page 1
A109/A119 SERIES-CPCP

2-2. CYCLIC PITCH CONTROL

The cyclic pitch control system is a conventional rigid control tube type and is controlled by the pilot and co-
pilot operating the cyclic pitch control sticks. The system transmits the control movements to the mixing group.

The control movements cause movement at an angle of the mixing lever pivoted on the group. The friction
control can adjust the force necessary to operate the control levers. The control can be locked in any position
by fully tightening the knob. The system incorporates two magnetic brake artificial feel and trim units and two
control tubes with stabilization actuators.

The main components of the collective pitch control system are the cyclic pitch control sticks, cyclic pitch con-
trol stick hand grips, cyclic pitch support group and torque tubes.

2-3. MIXING CONTROL

The mixing control system is a conventional rigid type and comprises a mixing group, control tubes and bell-
cranks. Movements transmitted from the collective control system via the control tube cause lengthwise move-
ment of the carriage. Movements from the cyclic control system via the control tubes cause mixing lever
inclination.

The mixing lever pivots on the carriage and its movements are transmitted via a linkage to the actuator control
valves, causing an extension or retraction of the servo actuators.

The mixing group is located on the roof of the helicopter. The mixing group receives movements from the
cyclic and collective pitch systems and transmits them to actuate the servo actuators.

The main components of the mixing group comprise the carriage, support and mixing lever. The carriage is
connected to the support via two links and is equipped with attaching points for the bellcranks, link and mixing
lever.

The mixing lever comprises a central body and four arms. Collective and cyclic pitch system movements are
transmitted to the mixing lever via the carriage. The carriage is connected to the mixing lever by an universal
joint and two control tubes that are connected to two arms of the mixing lever.

Three control tubes are connected to the arms of the mixing lever to transmit the movements to the actuator
control levers.

The support is attached to the helicopter structure.

3. TAIL ROTOR CONTROL

The tail rotor control system is controlled by two sets of adjustable-reach tail rotor pedals that are connected by
a series of levers, push-pull tubes and bellcranks to the tail rotor hydraulic servo actuator. The system incorpo-
rates a control tube provided with a stabilization actuator and magnetic brake artificial feel units.

4. SERVO CONTROL
The servo control system comprises the main rotor servo actuators and the tail rotor servo actuator. The servo
actuators are powered from the flight control hydraulic system.
