LEVELING AND WEIGHING - GENERAL
1. Description and Operation (Figure 1).
Leveling is done when fuel system calibration or determination of empty weight center of gravity
is required.
Leveling Helicopter. Level helicopter using three helicopter jacks.
Prepare for Leveling.
(1) Special Tools and Equipment.
(a) Hydraulic Jacks (1-3 Ton) Regent, Model 2979 or equivalent.
(b) Plumb Bob (suitable)
Leveling. Using three 1 to 3-ton hydraulic jacks, Regent, model 2979 o r equivalent, jack
helicopter. (Refer to JACKING, CHAPTER 7. ) Suspend plumb bob from leveling slot on
upper frame of left passenger door. Raise o r lower hydraulic jacks at main landing gear to
line up plumb bob with longitudinal reference line on leveling plate. When helicopter is
leveled laterally, raise o r lower nose landing gear hydraulic jack as necessary to line up the
plumb bob with the "0" point on leveling plate on door jamb.
CAUTION: DO NOT JACK THE HELICOPTER COMPLETELY OFF THE GROUND WHEN OUT-
OF-DOORS OR WHEN NOT PROTECTED FROM THE WIND. A RELATIVELY
LIGHT GUST OF WIND COULD PUSH THE HELICOPTER OFF THE JACKS.
Weighing Helicopter. Weigh helicopter using weighing scales o r an electronic load cell kit.
Prepare for Weighing.
(1) Special Tools and Equipment.
(a) Aircraft Weighing Scales or suitable electronic Load Cell Kit.
(b) Hydraulic Jacks (1-3 Ton) Regent, Model 2979 or equivalent.
Weighing. Determine helicopter weight a s follows:
-
NOTE: To prevent inaccurate readings due to a i r currents, the helicopter should be weighed
onlv in an enclosed area.
NOTE: For all Servicing and Draining requirements, refer to CHAPTER 12.
(1) Service hydraulic reservoirs.
(2) Service engine oil reservoirs.
(3) Service windshield washer reservoir.
(4) Service all gear boxes.
(5) Drain fuel tanks.
(6) If aircraft weighing scales a r e to be used, position helicopter on scales. Total readings
on scales, subtract tare weight and record reading.
NOTE: Tare weight includes the weight of all extra items, such as jacks, blocks, and
chocks on the weighing scale platform, except that of the item being weighed.
The weight of these items, when included in the scale reading, is deducted to
get the actual weight of the helicopter.
NOTE: Instructions for use of weighing scales a r e included with scales.

(7) If electronic load cell kit is to be used, do the following steps:
NOTE: To reduce the amount of hydraulic jack extension required to clear landing
gear wheels from ground and also reduce helicopter overall height above
ground, jadking brackets, 76700- 20022- 101 (Nose gear) and 76700- 20022- 102
(Main gear) can be used to prevent the landing gear struts from fully extending.
(Refer to JACKING, CHAPTER 7. )
(8) Position hydraulic jacks, Regent model 2979 o r equivalent, under jacking pads. (Refer
to JACKING, CHAPTER 7. )
NOTE: Instructions for use of weighing kit a r e included in the kit.
(9) Install jack adapters (supplied with weighing kit) on jacks.

(10) Connect cable from indicator unit to load cells.
(11) Position cells on jack adapters and position adapters (supplied with weighing kit) on top
of cells.
(12) Connect power source to weighing kit. Allow about 20 minutes for kit warmup.
(13) Zero indicator on weighing kit.
(14) Jack helicopter and check that all wheels a r e clear of ground. Record readings on indi-
cator for weight on each load cell.
