F-28A DESCRIPTION
One of the first steps in obtaining the utmost performance, service,~nd flying enjoyment from your F-28A is to familiarize yourselfwith its equipment, systems, andcontrols.
THE HELICOPTER
The Enstrom F-28A Helicopter is designed for high performance,mechanical simplicity, and maximum versatility.. By virtue of com-ponent longevity and minimum maintenance requirements, the F-28Aenjoys the lowest operating cost of any helicopter. The rugged,rotor head, combined with the (51 Ibs.) rotor blades, give unheard-ofstability and excellent autorotational characteristics.INTERIOR ARRANGEMENT
The cabin interior is a full, three-place, side-by-side seating arrangementwith a spacious 61" width for maximum pilot and passenger comfortand safety. The wide choice of interior color styling is available tocomplement any exterior combination. The instrument panel is onthe horizontal plane for more natural scanning and is convenientlylocated for dual pilot viewing. Simple, clean controls blend tastefullyinto the interior. Excellent visibility is offered through the clearview tinted Plexiglas wrap-around windshield and doors to overheadand lower deck windows. Extra-width, swing-open doors closesecurely with simple-to-operate safety lock handles.
AIR FRAME
The airframe is composed of three main sections: the tail coneassembly, cabin assembly, and pylon assembly.The tail cone assembly is a semi-monocoque structure and attachesto the pylon assembly with three bolts for easy removal and installa-tion. The rear of the tail cone supports the horizontal stabilizer,tail rotor gear box, tail rotor, and tail rotor skid.
The cabin is fabricated from molded fiberglass and is an integral unit.It is attached to the forward side of the pylon assembly by six boltsand encompasses the structural aluminum seat portion plus instrumentpanel, cyclic, collective, and tail rotor controls. The wrap-around,tinted Plexiglas windshield and full glass doors, plus upper and lowerdeck windows, provide for excellent visibility. The extra-width,swing-open doors close sedurely with simple-to-operate safety lockhandles. The helicopter can be flown with either left, right, or bothdoors off.
The pylon structure assembly is fabricated from steel tubing andhouses the engine, the belt engagement and idler assembly, clutch,cooling fan, fuel tanks, and main rotor drive system. A skid-typelanding gear attaches to the lower section at four points. Groundhandling wheels are provided for moving the helicopter, or can beeasily removed. Four air-oil struts soften landing loads and aid
MM-2-2
in leveling the helicopter while on the ground.AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM
The air induction system consists of a filtered non-ram carburetorair intake located beneath the engine compartment. It incorporates aspring-loaded, automatic alternate air source.POWER PLANT
A Lycoming HIO-360-CIA-205 HP four cylinder opposed engine isused in the F-28A Helicopter. The engine is delivered with platinumspark plugs.
NOTE: It is recommended that the appropriate LycomingOperators Manual be consulted prior to any adjustmentor repair to the engine.
OIL SYSTEM
The Lycoming engine employs a wet sump lubrication system. It hasa capacity of 8 quarts. A bayonet-type oil quantity gauge withgraduated markings is part of the oil tank filler cap and is accessiblethrough the left-hand side cowling of the engine. Engine oil cooling isaccomplished by an oil cooler with thermostatic valves and by-passprovisions. It is located on the right-hand side of the enginecompartment.
Oil System Indicators Oil Temperature and Pressure Gauges. Standardtype gauges are provided for both the engine oil temperature and oilpressure indications. Both gauges are marked to provide visual engineoperating limitations and are located on the instrument panel.ENGINE CONTROLS
Throttle. A twist-grip type throttle is located on the collective pitchcontrol stick for direct control of engine power. It is manuallyconnected to the fuel servo-throttle valve on the engine.Mixture Control. A mixture control push-pull control knob isprovided on the center of the console. It is pushed in during allflight operations. Shutting off the engine is accomplished by placingthe mixture control in the Idle Cut Off position.
Magneto Switch. The magneto switch is a key-operated switch locatedin the center of the instrument panel. For starting, place the switchin the Both position.Starter Button. The starter button is located on the end of thecollective control. Push to engage.
Master Switch. The master switch is located on the instrument panelnext to the master switch circuit breaker. It is a single-throw, two-position switch.
CABIN HEAT
The cabin heat control is located at the left-hand side of the pilotsseat, on the floor. By moving the control in or out, the operator
MM-2-3
regulates the amount of cabin heat through the output louvers locatedin the center of the floor under the instrument panel.CLUTCH ENGAGING LEVER
The clutch engagement lever is located at the right side of the pilotsseat on the forward face of the seat structure. The clutch lever is
provided as a means of engaging and disengaging the rotor drivesystem
FUEL SVSTEM
The system consists of two interconnected fuel tanks, which feedsimultaneously to the engine. Each tank must be filled individually.They are located on the left and right side of the aircraft over theengine compartments. The tanks are fabricated of fiberglass and havean individual fuel capacity of 15 gallons each. Each fuel tank is gravityfed to a central distributing line which connects to the electric boosterpump and engine driven pump. The fuel control valve is an off-on typeand is located on the firewall next to the pilots left shoulder. Eachtank has an individual drain valve in the bottom. There is also a mainfuel filter located aft of the firewall in the engine compartment. Thecontrol is on the right-hand side of the engine compartment andextends beyond the side panel.
Auxilliary-Fuel Pump Switch. The fuel booster pump switch and fuelpressure warning lights are located on the instrument panel.Fuel Ouantity Indicator. The fuel quantity gauge continuouslyindicates the total quantity of fuel; It is hooked up through a simpletype liquidometer float located in the right-hand fuel tank.Fuel Pressure Indicator. The fuel pressure indicator provides PSIpressure readings of the fuel as delivered to the flow divider.\ Theindicator is marked for normal operating range from 0 12 PSI.
TRANSMISSION SVSTEM
The main transmission unit provides an 8.7871 reduction ratiobetween the engine and the main rotor. The transmission incorporatesa free-wheeling unit in the upper pulley assembly, which is mountedon the output pinion shaft. The free-wheeling unit provides a dis-connect from the engine in the event of a power failure and permitsthe main and tail rotors to rotate in order to accomplish safe auto-rotation landings. Five and one-half pints of No. 90 wt, oil are used inthe transmission. The main rotor transmission has a sight gauge whichis located on the aft right-hand side and is visible through an opening inthe baggage compartment. A vent line is located on the forward sideof the main rotor transmission. Positive oil pressure is maintained, tothe main thrust bearing, by centrifical force of the ring gear. All otherbearings are splash fed.Main Rotor Transmission Temperature Indicator. A main rotortransmission gauge is located on the instrument panel and is redlinedat 2200F.
MM-2-4
Tail Rotor Transmission. The tail rotor transmission, a right-angletransmission mounted at the aft end of the tail cone, supports anddrives the tail rotor. The tail rotor transmission transmits power fromthe tail rotor drive shaft to the tail rotor assembly through steel spiralbeveled gears housed in an aluminum alloy housing. The tail rotortransmission is equipped with a self-contained lubricant supply andlevel gauge at the rear of the housing and a magnetic plug can beremoved to inspect for metal particles. Its capacity is 5 oz, of No. 10Ioil. Large sight gauge indicates full with ship leveled.ROTOR SYSTEM
Main Rotor. The main rotor is a three-blade, fully articulated system;that is, the blades are hinge-mounted to be free to lead-lag, flap, andfeather. The fully articulated system in the F-28A Helicopter providessmooth control responses in all modes of flight; and due to the kineticenergy stored in the heavy rotor blades, allows for easy-to-perform, safeautorotation landings in the event of power failure. The rotor assemblyis mechanically simple and consists of three all-metal bonded blades,upper and lower rotor hub plates, universal blocks, blade gripassemblies, and lead lag hydraulic dampers. The excellent hydraulicdampers govern the lead-lag motion and aid in the dynamic stabilityof the F-28A.
Tail Rotor. The tail anti-torque rotor counteracts the torque of themain rotor and functions to maintain or change the helicopter heading.The tail rotor is a two-bladed, teetering, delta-hinge type assembly.Each blade is connected to a common hub. Blade pitch change isaccomplished by movement of the pilots directional control pedalsthat are connected to a pitch control assembly mounted on the tailrotor 900 gear box. This blade pitch provides control of torque andchange of directional headings. Power to drive the tail rotor is takenfrom the input shaft of the main transmission.Rotor Tachometer. The rotor RPM indicator is part of a dual-purposetachometer which also reads engine RPM.
Stabilizer. An all-metal, fixed-position stabilizer adjusted to a -40 isinstalled on the tail cone assembly for longitudinal stability.FLIGHT CONTROLS
Cyclic Control. The cyclic control stick is similar in appearance to thecontrol stick of a fixed-wing aircraft. The direction of stick movementresults in a change of the plane of rotation of the main rotor and willproduce a corresponding directional movement of the helicopterthrough the longitudinal and lateral modes of flight. The stick gripincorporates a trigger-type switch used for radio transmissions. A trimswitch is also located on the cyclic stick grip to control the longitudinaland lateral trim forces.
Collective Pitch Control. The collective pitch control lever is locatedto the left of the pilots position and controls the vertical mode offlight. The amount of lever movement determines the angle of attackRevised 8-1-74
MM-2-5
and the lift developed by the rotor blades and results in an ascent ordescent of the helicopter. A rotating, grip-type throttle is located atthe end of the collective control.
Directional Control Pedals. The directional control pedals are locatedin the cabin forward of the pilot and/or co-pilot. When moved, theseadjustable pedals change the pitch of the tail rotor blades and therebyprovide the method of changing directional heading.
F L IGHT I NSTR UM E NTS
The standard flight instruments which are installed in the F-28A asbasic equipment comply with the requirements under visual flightrules for day or night~operation. The panel arrangement providesease of visual observance and includes space provisions for installationof additional instruments to meet individual requirements.
Airspeed Indicator. The single-scale airspeed indicator is calibrated inMPH and provides an indicated airspeed reading at any time duringforward flight. The reading is obtained by measuring the differencebetween impact air pressure and the static vent. The pitot tube, whichprovides the impact air pressure source, is located forward of the cabinnose section. Static air pressure for instrument operation is derivedfrom two static vents located on either side of the rail cone assembly.The openings in the pitot tube and static vent ports must be maintain-edobstruction-free and clean at all times for proper instrument
operation.Altimeter. The altimeter is a sensitive type that provides distance-height readings from 0 to 25,000 feet. The long hand in a singlecomplete sweep of the dial totals 1,000 feet, and the short handtotals the thousands of feet altitude. The instrument is vented tothe same static port vents as the airspeed indicator.
Compass. A standard aircraft quality magnetic compass is mountedon the front of the cockpit within easy sight of pilot or co-pilot.It is to be used in conjunction with a compass correction card locatedadjacent to the instrument.Free Air Temperature Indicator. The free air temperature indicatoris a direct reading, bi-metallic instrument with a stainless steelprobe. This instrument provides ambient temperature informationwhich, when utilized, will assist i-n determining performance capabili-ties of the helicopter at the existing climatic condition. The indicatoris located in the top of the canopy.
ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM
Direct Current Power System. The basic power supply system is a12-volt direct current system, with a negative ground to the helicopterstructure. A belt-driven alternator is located on the aft part of theengine and is used in placeof a generator. One 12-volt battery islocated in the right-hand side of the pilots compartment and servesas a stand-by power source supplying power tothe system when thealternator is inoperative.

POWER PLANT
DESCRIPTION
The HIO 360 series are four cylinder, direct drive, horizontally opposed,air cooled engines.In referring to the location of the various engine components, the partsare described in their relationship to the engine as installed in theairframe. Thus, the power take-off end is considered the front andthe accessory drive end the rear. The sump section is considered thebottom and the opposite side of the engine where the shroud tubesare located the top. Reference to the left and right side is made withthe observer facing the rear of the engine. The cylinders are numberedfrom front to rear, odd numbers on the right, even numbers on theleft. The direction of rotation of the crankshaft, viewed from the rear,is clockwise. The direction of rotation for accessory drives isdetermined with the observer facing the drive pad.
Cylinders. The cylinders are of conventional air celled constructionwith the two major parts, head and barrel, screwed and shrunktogether. The heads are made from an aluminum alloy casting with afully machined combustion chamber. Rocker shaft bearing supportsare cast integral with the head along with housings to form the rockerboxes for both valve rockers. The cylinder barrels, which are machinedfrom chrome nickel molybdenum steel forgings, have deep integralcooling fins and the inside of the barrels are ground and honed to aspecified finish.
Valve Operating Mechanism. A conventional type camshaft is locatedabove and parallel to the crankshaft. The camshaft actuates hydraulictappets which operate the \jalves through push rods and valve rockers.The valve rockers are supported on full floating steelshafts. The valvesprings bear against hardened steel seats and are retained on the valvestems by means of split keys.
Crankcase. The crankcase-assembly consists of two reinforcedaluminum alloy castings, fastened together by means of studs, boltsand nuts. The mating surfaces of the two castings are joined withoutthe use of a gasket, and the main bearing bores are machined for useof precision type main bearing inserts,
Crankshaft. The crankshaft is made from a chrome nickel molybdenumsteel forging. All bearing journal surfaces are nitrided.
Connecting Rods. The connecting rods are made in the form of"H" sections from alloy steel forgings. They have replaceable bearinginserts in the crankshaft ends and bronze bushings in the piston ends.The bearing caps on the crankshaft ends are retained by two bolts andnuts through each cap.
NOTE: Remove cowling as required for access to enginecompattment.

Pistons. The pistons are machined from an aluminum alloy. Thepiston pin is of a full floating type with a plug located in each end ofthe pin. Depending on the cylinder assembly, pistons may be machinedfor either three or four rings and may employ either half wedge orfull wedge rings.Accessory Housing. The accessory housing is made from an aluminumcasting and is fastened to the rear of the crankcase and the top rearof the sump. It forms a housing for the oil pump and the variousaccessory drives.
Oil Sump. The sump incorporates an oil drain plug, oil suction screen,mounting pad for carburetor or fuel injector, the intake riser andintake pipe connections.
Cooling System. These engines are designed to be cooled by airflow. Baffles are provided to build up a pressure and force theair through the cylinder fins. The air is then exhausted to the atmos-phere.
Induction System. The Avco" Lycoming HIO-360 series engines areequipped with a Bendix type RSA fuel injector. The fuel injectionsystem schedules fuel flow in proportion to air flow and fuel vaporiza-tion takes place at the intake ports.The Bendix RSA type fuel injection system is based on the principleof measuring air flow and using the air flow signal in a stem typeregulator to convert the air force into a fuel force. This fuel force(fuel pressure differential) when appli:ed across the fuel meteringsection (jetting system) makes fuel flow proportional to air flow.Lubrication System. (All models except AIO-360 series.) The fullpressure wet sump lubrication system is actuated by an impeller typepump contained within the accessory housing.
Priming System. Fuel injected engines do not require a priming system.

CUT-OFF position and observe the tachometer for any changeduring the leaning out process. Caution must be exercised toreturn the mixture control to the FULL-RICH position beforethe RPM can drop to a point where the engine cuts out. Anincrease in RPM while leaning out indicates the idle mixture ison the rich side of best power. An immediate decrease in RPM(if not preceded by a momentary increase) indicates that the idlemixture is on the lean side of best power.
d. The desired idle setting is a compromise between one that isrich enough to provide a satisfactory acceleration under allconditions and lean enough to prevent spark plug fouling orrough operation. A rise of 25-50 RPM will usually satisfy bothof these conditions.
e. If Step B indicates that the idle adjustment is too rich or toolean, turn the idle mixture adjustment one or two notches in thedirection required for correction, and check this new positionby repeating Step B. Make additional adjustments as necessary.
f. Each time an adjustment is changed, clear the engine by runningit up to approximately 2000 RPM before making mixture check.
g. The actual idle mixture adjustment is made by the lengthening(richening) or shortening (leaning) of the linkage between thethrottle lever and idle valve lever. The center screw assemblyhas right hand threads on both ends but one end has a No. 10-24thread and the other end has a No. 10-32 thread. For easyreference, consider only the coarse thread end. When it isturned out of its block, the linkage becomes longer and a richermixture is provided. When it is turned into its block, the linkagebecomes longer and a richer mixture is provided. When it isturned into its block, the linkage is shortened and a leanermixture is provided.
h. A major adjustment is available for use when the center screwbottoms out on either of the blocks. If the idle adjustment isalmost satisfactory, measure the distance between the twoblocks. Disconnect the sprilg from the most accessible linkagepin and remove the pin. Turn the block and adjustment screwuntil the adjusting wheel is centered and the distance betweenblocks is as previously measured.
