214B / 214B-1

AT A GLANCE

Revision 10 changes the power-off rotor-limit designation, one longitudinal CG weight point, the fuel-capacity entry, the JP-5 specification reference, the special-condition citation, and the certificate-holder history. Several revised entries contain apparent inconsistencies or unexplained reference changes; these are reported as printed, without treating them as confirmed changes to the aircraft configuration. McDermott 214 Holdings, LLC remains the listed certificate holder. The model-specific maximum weights and external-cargo provisions are unchanged.

The record of Erickson 214 Holdings, LLC transferring TC H6SW to McDermott 214 Holdings, LLC on November 8, 2023 is removed and replaced by Erickson's address at 3100 Willow Springs Road, Central Point, Oregon 97502-0010. The separate Bell Textron Inc. transfer entry changes its certificate reference from H6SW to H10SW while retaining September 8, 2020. McDermott remains the current holder in both issues. The documents do not explain the revised history or the H10SW reference.

The Grade II (JP-5) specification is printed as MIL-T5624 instead of MIL-T-5624. The Grade I (JP-4) reference, Note 9 reference and Flight Manual vendor reference remain unchanged. The documents do not establish whether the altered identifier is intentional or a typographical error, so it is not treated as evidence of a different approved fuel.

The power-off rotor entry at 257 RPM changes from Maximum to Minimum. Its tachometer reading remains 86%. The separate power-off maximum of 315 RPM (105%) and the power-on limits are unchanged.

The weight associated with longitudinal CG limits (+132.5) to (+144.3) changes from 12,500 lbs. to 12,250 lbs. The instruction for straight-line variation between points remains unchanged. This is a CG-table edit, not a change to the listed maximum weights: 12,500 lbs. for 214B-1, 13,800 lbs. for 214B, and 16,000 lbs. for external-cargo operation under Note 4. The revision-table updates included in this difference group are administrative.

The fuel-capacity entry retains 204 gal. but replaces (+153.8) usable and the unusable-fuel reference with (+195.0), 1.85 gal. usable (included in cap), and a reference to undrainable oil. Those replacement details also appear in the unchanged oil-capacity entry immediately below. This creates an apparent inconsistency; the supplied documents do not establish an intended revised usable-fuel capacity or fuel station.

The certification-basis special-condition reference changes from No. 26-65-SW-5 to No. 29-65-SW-5. FAR Part 29 dated February 1, 1965, Amendments 29-1 through 29-9 and Amendment 29-11 remain listed, as does No exemptions. The documents do not explain whether the changed special-condition number corrects a citation or identifies a different condition.
