interior and also provide mounting surfaces for
convenience items.
Trim panels furnished with early configuration
executive trim are flocked. Trim installed on
early configuration helicopters are attached
with Hedlok semi-rigid interlocking nylon
fasteners and attaching screws.
Trim installed in later configuration helicop­
ters are attached with upholstery screws that
fasten to mating rivnuts and isolator nut
mounts on the fuselage structure.
Later configuration trim have access doors at
hinge pin locations and in lower right and left
panels for access to fuselage structure seat belt
fittings.

D. Cargo Tiedown Fittings
(Ref. Figure 4-8) The cargo tiedown fittings
are formed of 0.250 inch (6.35 mm) diameter,
U-shaped steel rods, with ends flattened. The
flats are drilled to accept a quick-release pin
for attaching the fitting to the cargo floor. The
pin is secured to the fitting with a 4 inch
(10.16 cm) lanyard. Cargo tiedown fittings can
be fastened to the cargo floor at any of 12
locations for various cargo loads.

center frame in the pilot's compartment. The
trim is screw-mounted to the canopy frame
and consists of an upper and lower section,
and a VNE card cover that provides the trim

joint. On certain configuration helicopters, the
magnetic compass is mounted to the trim just
above the instrument panel. When electroni­
cally activated engine anti-icing and cabin

heat control systems are installed, the VNE
card cover also provides the mounting surface
for the ENGINE DE-ICE and CABIN HEAT

switches. The trim sections also function as
heat ducts when the optional heating system is
installed. When the heating system is not

installed, removable end-caps enclose the
upper and lower ends of the trim.

G. Helicopter Checklist
SO C
The helicopter checklist contains instructions
for an interior check, engine starting, engine
runup and stopping the engine. The checklist
is stored with the magnetic compass card in
the map case trim cover on the upper forward
side of the central controls tunnel in the crew
compartment.
H. VNE Card and Holder (Bracket Mounted)
(Ref. Figure 4-8 and Figure 4-9) The VNE
(Velocity to Never Exceed) card is held by a
holder directly above the hood of the instru­
ment console. The holder may be bonded in

the early configuration.
I. Magnetic Compass Card
The magnetic compass card contains calibra­
tion information for the specific compass
installed in the helicopter.
J. Operation Record Holder
(Ref. Figure 4-9) The operation record holder
with a transparent window is attached to the
outboard side of the right instrument panel
fairing on later configuration helicopters. On
early configuration helicopters, the holder is
attached to the lower right front of the pilot's
seat structure.
K. Heat Duct and VNE Card Cover
(Ref. Figure 4-9) The heat duct and VNE card
cover assembly provides interior trim for the
canopy frame and a mounting surface for the
VNE card. A wire pin on the VNE card is used
to mount the card to the cover. The pin
installation enables the VNE card to be flipped
for a view of either side. Velcro fasteners
secure the VNE card in the desired viewing
position. Several configuration of the heat duct
and VNE card cover are installed. On a
helicopter equipped with an electrically
controlled engine anti-icing system (Ref. Sec.
11) and cabin heating system (Ref. CSP-H-3),
an engine de-ice switch and a cabin heat
switch are mounted to the heat duct and VNE
card cover assembly. The cover may be secured
to the canopy frame with Hedlok fasteners or
attaching screws.

Q. Ashtrays
(Ref. Figure 4-4 and Figure 4-8) The crew
compartment is equipped with an ashtray and
cigarette lighter located in the lower portion of
the instrument panel.
On helicopters with standard trim, an ashtray
and cigarette lighter is installed on the
forward bulkhead trim panel. On helicopters
furnished with executive trim, the ashtray and
cigarette lighter assembly is mounted on the
forward bulkhead trim panel as part of the
lower convenience panel.
On early configuration helicopters without
interior trim, an ashtray and cigarette lighter
assembly is installed on the forward bulkhead.
R. Passenger Compartment Upper
Convenience Panel (Without Trim)
(Ref. Figure 4-4) On early configuration
helicopters without interior trim, a plastic
convenience panel is located above the
compartment forward bulkhead. The conve­
nience panel provides mounting facilities for
utility light switch, heated air outlet diffuser
valve and two head set connectors (all optional
equipment). Six screws attach the panel to the
fuselage structure. Plugs and covers are
supplied with the panel when optional
equipment is not installed.
S. Passenger Compartment Upper
Convenience Panel (Standard Trim)
(Ref. Figure 4-4) On helicopters with standard
trim, the upper convenience panel is contained
in the convenience panel panel trim cover. The
convenience panel provides mounting facilities
for a utility light switch, heated air outlet
diffuser valve and two headset connectors. Six
screws attach the panel to the convenience
panel trim cover. Plugs and covers are supplied
with the panel when the optional equipment is
not installed.
T. Folding Table Assembly (Executive Trim)
(Ref. Figure 4-4) On helicopters with executive
trim, two folding tables are provided in the
passenger/cargo compartment for passenger
use. The folding tables are installed on the
compartment forward bulkhead trim panel.
