E.M. Heli-Logistics
Ltd provides a direct replacement part for the MDHS Engine
Air Diverter Kit, identified as P/N 369D292045. The
replacement part and installation kit is certified under
Transport Canada Supplemental Type Approval ( STC#
SH96-1 ). The new inlet diverter incorporates modern
enhanced materials and processes for increased strength
and ease of maintenance. For those MDHS 500 operators not familiar with this option,
see Flight Manual Supplement No. CSP-D-1 W, from which the following
excerpts were taken...
- "....Engine Air Inlet Diverter Kit inhibits ingesting
foreign objects into the engine air inlet which might be of sufficient
mass to puncture the screen / particle separator and damage the
engine...."
- "....(the diverter) reduces ingestion of large
dust and sand particles, and also reduces ingestion of snow and
slush, which may accumulate on the canopy at slow speeds, to
be subsequently swept toward the inlet when forward speed is
increased...."
