To all pilots, holders, and maintenance personnel of the EC 135.
Vertical oscillations can be noticed on the helicopter under the following
conditions:
• A. In heavy Gusts
• B. During a skidding landing on a hard landing surface.
• To prevent oscillations or minimize the risk of occurrence, proceed as
follows;
• Increase collective frictional force setting of the collective brake, but only to
a point where the collective lever can be operated.
• If vertical oscillations occur on landing the following procedure is
recommended.
• In flight: release collective lever momentarily. Then retighten collective
brake as necessary
• During landing: Lower or raise collective lever swiftly until the oscillations
fade out, while taking care not to exceed any limitations.
 Note : Do not trim the flight control
system full travel or operate the
flight controls without hydraulic
pressure present. Damage to the
non boosted part of the flight
controls may occur.
