ch19 旋翼机飞行手册 中英对照

第19章旋翼机飞行手册

As with most certificated aircraft manufactured after March 1979, FAA-certificated gyroplanes are required to have an approved flight manual. The flight manual describes procedures and limitations that must be adhered to when operating the aircraft. Specification for Pilot’s Operating Handbook, published by the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA), provides a recommended format that more recent gyroplane flight manuals follow. [Figure 19-1]

1979年3月，同大多数具有人为证明文件的飞行器一样，联邦航空局出台了经核准的旋翼机飞行手册。该手册主要包括旋翼机操作必须的程序和注意事项。由GAMA（飞行制造业协会）出版的飞行员操作规范手册，提供了值得参考的旋翼机飞行手册格式，其格式如下：[图19-1]

Figure 19-1. The FAA-approved flight manual may contain as many as ten sections, as well as an optional alphabetical index.

图19-1. 联邦航空局核准的飞行手册主要包括10个部分，同时具有可选择的数字索引。

This format is the same as that used by helicopters, which is explained in depth in Chapter 6—Rotorcraft Flight Manual (Helicopter).

这个格式同第六章直升机飞行手册的格式是一样的。

Amateur-built gyroplanes may have operating limitations but are not normally required to have an approved flight manual. One exception is an exemption granted by the FAA that allows the commercial use of two-place, amateur-built gyroplanes for instructional purposes. One of the conditions of this exemption is to have an approved flight manual for the aircraft. This manual is to be used for training purposes, and must be carried in the gyroplane at all times.

非专业旋翼机必须有操作规范但并不一定要有经核准的飞行手册。用于两地商业贸易和训练用途的非专业旋翼机是可以免除经联邦航空局核准的程序。其中一种情况是拥有经核准的飞行器飞行手册，该手册是用于训练目的，并且一直应用在旋翼机上。

USING THE FLIGHT MANUAL

飞行手册应用

The flight manual is required to be on board the aircraft to guarantee that the information contained therein is readily available. For the information to be of value, you must be thoroughly familiar with the manual and be able to read and properly interpret the various charts and tables.

飞行手册必须在航行器上并且保证飞行手册的信息是易懂有效的。为了使信息确实有效，飞行员应对飞行手册内容非常熟练并能恰当的解释各种图表及表格的含义。

WEIGHT AND BALANCE SECTION

载重和平衡部分

The weight and balance section of the flight manual contains information essential to the safe operation of the gyroplane. Careful consideration must be given to the weight of the passengers, baggage, and fuel prior to each flight. In conducting weight and balance computations, many of the terms and procedures are similar to those used in helicopters. These are further explained in Chapter 7—Weight and Balance. In any aircraft, failure to adhere to the weight and balance limitations prescribed by the manufacturer can be extremely hazardous.

飞行手册载重平衡部分是旋翼机安全工作的要点。每次飞行前的载油量、乘客重量、行李重量都必须经过认真考虑。在载重及平衡的计算上，很多计算条件和计算程序都与直升机载重和平衡计算相似。这些在第7章载重及平衡部分有详细解释。对于任何飞行器，载重和平衡超过了厂商说明都是非常危险的。

SAMPLE PROBLEM

As an example of a weight and balance computation, assume a sightseeing flight in a two-seat,

tandem-configured gyroplane with two people aboard. The pilot, seated in the front, weighs 175 pounds while
