THE HIGH PERFORMANCE LIGHT HELICOPTER
1.0 High performance.

The MD 500E delivers the highest speed, payload and productivity in its class. Rear seat
passengers have greater headroom and visibility than earlier Model 500s. Refinements pro-
vide first class front and rear seating with ample legroom. The T-shaped instrument panel
provides space for a full complement of modern avionics.
With a five-bladed main rotor and the choice of a 420-shp Allison 250-C20B or 450-shp
Allison 250-C20R turbine engine, the MD 500E is the best performing helicopter in its class.
The MD 500E light turbine helicopter allows easy configuration conversions from a deluxe,
five-place executive transport to a utility cargo carrier. Typical uses include urban and
remote location transportation of key personnel, technicians and craftsmen; aerial survey,
patrol and photography; agricultural and fire-fighting appli-cations; air rescue operations;
and numerous other tasks within the
construction, petroleum and forestry
industries.
Optional high-clearance skids permit

operations in rough terrain, while
other optional equipment, such as
inflatable floats, litter kit and external
baggage pods increase the MD 1.7 m
1.9 m 1.4 m (5.4 ft)
500E’s versatility. (6.3 ft) (4.6 ft)
Proven reliability of the derated tur-

bine engine, fail-safe design and a
worldwide network of factory-autho- 8.1 m
(26.4 ft)
rized service centers assure cus- Dia
tomer satisfaction.

HOT DAY/HIGH ALTITUDE HELICOPTER
1.0 Hot Day/High Altitude Helicopter.

The MD 530F is engineered to meet your requirements for hot-day, high-altitude opera-
tion. Equipped with the 650 shp Allison 250-C30 engine, the MD 530F operates more
effectively in hot, high environments than other helicopters in its class. It offers the per-
formance you need...at a lower cost of ownership.
In a typical working configuration, at a design gross weight of 3,100 lb (1406 kg) and a
useful load of over 1,509 lb (684 kg), it can hover out-of-ground effect at 11,600 ft (3536
m) ISA + 20°C. Its cruise speed follows the tradition of the MD 500E...making it one of
the fastest helicopters in its class. An optional cargo hook rated for 2,000 lb (907 kg)
provides outstanding external load capability. Internal loading is made easy by the flat
aft cargo compartment floor of the helicopter.
The MD 530F’s high altitude lift capability is achieved by main-rotor blades six inches
longer than the MD 500E. The tailboom is extended eight inches and the tail rotor blades
have been lengthened to provide increased thrust and directional control at high alti-
tudes.
The MD 530F features the same
streamlined, extended nose and
interior design as the MD 500E,
making it one of the most spa-
cious, quiet, comfortable and ver-
satile McDonnell Douglas heli-
copters. The T-shaped instrument
panel can provide space for a full 1.7 m
1.9 m 1.4 m
complement of modern avionics. (6.3 ft) (4.6 ft)
(5.4 ft)
Rear seat passengers have

increased headroom and visibility.
The MD 530F light turbine heli-
8.3 m
copter allows easy conversion to a (27.4 ft)
Dia
utility cargo carrier. The aft com-
partment is roomy enough to carry
two 55-gallon drums on a flat floor.
Outsized, bulky loads can be car-
ried externally by the cargo hook,
which is rated at 2,000 lb (907 kg). 9.8 m
(32.6 ft)
Optional high-clearance skids per- 7.5 m

2.0 MD 520N Design Description
The MDHI MD 520N is a fast, agile, lightweight, turbine powered, all-purpose helicopter.
Advanced technology has been used in the design and construction of the aircraft,
resulting in excellent speed capabilities, high payload-to-empty-weight ratio, passen-
ger/crew safety and handling and performance capabilities.
The MD 520N has been designed to allow a wide variety of rapid configuration options.
The aircraft may be converted rapidly from a personnel transport to a utility cargo con-
figuration. Typical uses include:
Airborne Law Enforcement
Search and rescue
Surveillance and crowd control
Aerial survey, patrol and photographic missions
Forestry and fire fighting applications
The MDHI MD 520N helicopter is a turbine powered, rotary-wing aircraft constructed

primarily of aluminum alloy while the NOTAR® system components are primarily
graphite composites. The main rotor is a fully articulated six bladed system which pro-
vides excellent control and maneuverability characteristics. Power from the turboshaft
engine is transmitted through the main drive shaft to the main rotor transmission. The
main transmission drives an intermediate gearbox to the NOTAR systems fan. An over-
running (one-way) clutch placed between the engine and main rotor transmission, per-
mits freewheeling of the rotor system during autorotation.
The airframe structure is egg-shaped and provides very clean aerodynamic lines. A
rigid, three-dimensional truss-type structure increases crew safety by means of its roll
bar design and reduces the potential for airframe collapse into the crew and passenger
compartments. The airframe structure is designed to be energy absorbing while main-
taining rotor hub integrity.

MD 520N Outside Dimensions
The fuselage is a semimonocoque structure that is divided into two main sections. The
forward section is composed of the pilot/co-pilot compartment and directly aft, sepa-
rated by a bulkhead, a cabin compartment. The pilot compartments equipped with
seats for the pilot and either two passengers on the co-pilot. A canopy of transparent
tinted acrylic panels provides excellent visibility.
An instrument panel is located forward of the seat structure along the aircraft centerline.
The panel incorporates standard flight and engine instruments in addition to warning
and caution lights. The panel also contains adequate space for avionics and flight
instruments. An optional “slant panel” is available which increases the panel space
available when extensive avionics suites are selected or when armament systems are
installed.

The crashworthy designed fuselage structure beneath the pilot/copilot floor contains
space for the aircraft battery and provision for small cargo storage or installation of
avionics equipment. Access to the compartments is through two floor panels.
The cargo compartment is the center of the aircraft contains provisions for the installa-
tion of passenger seats, auxiliary fuel tanks or cargo/baggage. During cargo-carrying
operations, the compartment floor serves as the cargo deck. The cargo floor is
designed to accommodate a range of cargo requirements.
The aft section includes the structure of the tailboom attachment, NOTAR® system fan
and the engine compartment. Access to the engine compartment is provided through
clamshell doors contoured to the shape of the fuselage.
The lower section is divided by the center “keel beam” and provides housing for the two
fuel cells containing a total of 64 U.S. gallons (242 l) of fuel.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
MD 520N On Patrol
Four doors are installed on the MD 520N - two on each side. The two forward doors
permit access to the forward compartment for pilot and copilot/passengers. The two
aft doors allow entry to the passenger/cargo compartment. The design permits flight
with doors removed without major speed restrictions. Transparent tinted windows are
contained in the doors.
An Allison Model 250-C20RS gas turbine engine with a takeoff power rating of 450 shp
powers the MD 520N. Only 425 shp at l00 percent N2 rpm is used for takeoff; 375 max-
imum continuous shp provides power for all other flight modes.
An overrunning clutch transmits power from the engine to the main drive shaft. The
clutch has no external controls and disengages automatically during autorotation and
engine shutdown. The main drive shaft connects to the main rotor transmission input
shaft. The engine oil cooler blower is belt-driven off the main drive shaft and draws cool-
ing air from the air inlet fairing to supply ambient air to the engine and transmission oil
coolers and to the engine compartment. The main rotor transmission is mounted on the
airframe structure above the passenger/cargo compartment. The transmission is lubri-
cated by its own air-cooled oil lubrication system. The main rotor static mast is non-
rotating and is rigidly mounted to the fuselage mast support structure. This static mast
is used to separate the lift and torque loads of the rotor.
– 54 –

M D 6 0 0 N
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Torque is transmitted independently to the rotor through an internal main rotor drive shaft.
Lifting loads reacted by the static mast are prevented from being imposed through the
drive shaft onto the main transmission, thus eliminating thrust loading of transmission
parts. This accomplishes a design that reduces main transmission weight and reduces
the probability of injury during a crash
The MD 520N utilizes a five-blade, fully articulated main rotor assembly. The MDHI strap
pack design provides restraint and allows all three degrees of rotor hub and rotor blade
travel. The strap configuration, while secured firmly to the hub, allows the centrifugal load
exerted by one blade to be countered by the force exerted by the opposite two blades.
Thus, very light centrifugal loads are sensed by the hub. The “V” legs of the strap pack
rotate as driving members to turn the blades and allow feathering, lead, lag and flapping
of the blades. The main rotor blades are secured to the hub with quick-release lever type
pins.
Adjustable pedal controls are provided for rudder/thruster control. Adjustable friction
devices are incorporated in the cyclic, collective and throttle controls. In addition, elec-
trical cyclic trim actuators allow flight loads to be trimmed out. Control forces are low;
hence, a hydraulic boost system is not required.
The landing gear is a skid type attached to the fuselage at l2 points and is not retractable.
Aerodynamic faring cover the struts. Nitrogen charged landing gear dampers act as
springs and shock absorbers to cushion landings and provide ground resonance stabili-
ty. Provisions for ground handling wheels are incorporated on the skid tubes.
Maintenance made easy
The MD 520N incorporates proven engineering features that are unsurpassed for design
simplicity, safety, reliability and ease of maintenance. There are no hydraulic boost sys-
tems, intermediate drive shaft bearings or grease fittings on any MD 500 series heli-
copters.
Blade Retention System:
The mechanical simplicity of the main rotor system provides high reliability at low cost.
Main rotor blades are retained by an exclusive strap pack system that accommodates
main rotor blade flapping, lead-lag and feathering motions. Fewer parts result in higher
reliability.
Main Rotor Transmission:
The main transmission has four gears and two gear meshes. It is light but rugged for
maximum reliability. The static mast design allows one mechanic to easily change the
transmission without removing any other component on the rotor head.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
NOTAR® ANTI-TORQUE SYSTEM
Greater Safety
U.S. FAA, NTSB and U.S. Army Studies
have shown that 22% of all crashes are
due to tailrotor strikes and loss of tail rotor
effectiveness. NOTAR® systems eliminate
these problems.
Reduced Noise
Designed and tested to be 50% quieter
than any other helicopter. This results in
detection distances that are far superior to
other aircraft.
Reduced Pilot Workload

Using the Coanda Effect to provide tail
boom lift and anti-torque, the system is
more stable and easier to control. This
effect reduces the sensitivity to wind direc-
tion on helicopter control, through provid-
ing an important tactical advantage during
combat operations.
Low Pressure Air System

Since the NOTAR system uses low-pres-
sure air, it is not sensitive to holes made in
the tailboom by fire from automatic
weapons. Studies have shown the
NOTAR® system is 60% less vulnerable to
small arms fire than tail rotor systems on
comparable helicopters.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTAR® SYSTEM

The NOTAR system is an anti-torque system made up of an enclosed fan driven by the
main rotor transmission, a circulation control tailboom, a direct jet thruster and a hori-
zontal stabilizer with two vertical stabilators.

The vertical stabilizers are connected to the pilot’s anti-torque (rudder) pedals. The left
stabilizer moves through approximately 29 degrees of motion and provides sufficient
control power for autorotation. It serves the additional purpose of unloading the thruster
during forward flight to permit optimum cruise performance.

M D 6 0 0 N
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
In hover flight, the circulation control tail boom provides the majority of the required main
rotor anti-torque. This is accomplished by two slots along the tailboom that energize
the downwash flow from the main rotor. The result is lift in a horizontal direction that
replaces the push of a conventional tail rotor. The direct jet thruster provides the remain-
ing anti-torque and maneuverability for yaw control and directional changes.
In forward flight, the vertical stabilators in conjunction with the direct-jet thruster provide
the required anti-torque and directional control.
REDUCED AIRCRAFT VIBRATION
The inherent stability of the standard MD 500 is further improved by the elimination of
the exposed tail rotor assembly, which reduces overall helicopter vibrations and increas-
es passenger comfort while reducing pilot fatigue.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
LOW EXTERNAL NOISE
The elimination of the high-tip-speed tail rotor assembly makes the MD 520N the qui-
etest turbine helicopter in the world. Recent comparative FAA tests conducted by MDHI
indicate the MD 520N is a minimum of 50 percent quieter than comparable helicopters.
This lower noise signature makes the MD 520N a “good neighbor’ when used in areas
where noise is objectionable. Lower noise levels also increase survivability in hostile
operational roles.

MDHI PRODUCT SUPPORT PLAN
With the launch of the new helicopter company, MD Helicopters, Inc. announces its new
Product Support Plan. Named The MDHI Support Plan 2000, it signifies MDHI’s commit-
ment to satisfy the operators of its products now and well into the next century.
6.0 The MDHI Support Plan 2000

MDHI is dedicated to a successful fielding of its new helicopters and to improve the
support it currently offers operators of its commercial helicopters. The following items
highlight how the MDHI helicopters will be the best-supported aircraft of its type anywhere
in the world.
Operator Input
Input from many of our existing fleet operators has been actively solicited by our support
team. We have created Customer Satisfaction Advisory Teams, composed of operators
from all over the world who are chartered to work together with MDHI technical represen-
tatives to lower operating costs, and to improve our products and the way we support
them. As a result of this improved level of two-way communication, many improvements
suggested by our customers are being included in our production, publications, and main-
tenance procedures.
Training
MDHI offers pilot and maintenance training to our new cus-
tomers at no extra charge. Customers will be trained at the
MDHI Commercial Training Center by our staff of specially
trained pilots and technical representatives. At the training
center, we stress hands-on experience in both our flight and
ground schools. The materials we use for our school are con-
tinually updated to reflect the latest product and maintenance
developments by our technical staff.
– 77 –

MDHI PRODUCT SUPPORT PLAN
IInitial Fielding
All new aircraft customers will be greeted at their facility by a Customer Support Technical
Representative who is trained specifically on the operation and maintenance of MDHI heli-
copters. These Technical Representatives are backed up by a factory team of MDHI
Product Support Engineers who can be called upon at any time to support specific tech-
nical issues or questions that may arise. The Technical Representatives will spend as much
time with the customers as required to familiarize them with their new aircraft.
Regular Maintenance
Follow-up visits by our Customer Support Technical Representatives will be performed as
required at the regularly scheduled maintenance periods. This provides the customer with
the latest maintenance information, and provides the factory with feedback on the opera-
tion, reliability and maintainability of their new aircraft. In addition, we plan to offer all mod-
els maintenance and parts manuals on CD-ROM.
Direct Operating Costs

The operating costs of MDHI helicopters are planned to be clearly the lowest in their class-
es. The plan is to keep the parts costs down, maximize the reliability of the helicopter sys-
tems, and minimize maintenance hours. This is accomplished by “benchmarking” all of
these areas against the existing fleet of MD 500® helicopters, already one of the most reli-
able turbine helicopter lines in the world. Every part, system and maintenance procedure
has undergone scrutiny before being incorporated on new production aircraft.
Spare Parts
The MDHI recognizes the importance of timely deliveries of spare parts to our customers.
A thorough review of spare parts utilization has been conducted with the intent to signifi-
cantly improve turnaround time of AOG spares. Additionally, we will increase our activities
in using customer advanced spares requirement notification to eliminate known spare part
requirements. On-line spares ordering and statusing is in our near future. Additionally, we
have established a MDHI Support Center in Europe, where a significant inventory of spare
parts, exchange components and tools are maintained.

TRAINING
7.0 Training
The MDHI Commercial Training Center offers cost-effective factory designed training
courses for MD 500 series pilots and maintenance crews. This training, given by senior
instructors with extensive experience in our products, provides our customers/students
with the detailed knowledge
of our products that will
increase safety, reduce insur-
ance costs and result in more
efficient operation of the air-
craft. Training is customarily
conducted at our facility in
Mesa, but offsite training at
the customer’s facility can
also be arranged. We can also
arrange for pilot training in the
customer’s aircraft, as long as
MDHI’s insurance require-
ments are met before training
begins.
Pilot Training
The transition flight training course is designed to familiarize a rated helicopter pilot with
the operation of the MD 500 series helicopter. This five-day course introduces the student
to all the associated company publications as well as detailed explanations of all aircraft
systems and daily/preflight inspection procedures. The ground school, including the exam
and exam review, requires 16 to 20 hours to complete. The student will be expected to
pass an exam demonstrating basic knowledge of the aircraft. The flight training syllabus
includes five hours of instructor time and is broken down into four flight lessons:
• Normal Operations (pattern and hover work)
• Normal Operations and emergency procedures
• Heavy Weight Performance
• Emergency Procedures (autorotations)
Recurrent pilot training consists of a two-day refresher course for any pilot who has previ-
ously attended the transition flight training course. Ground school includes a closed-book
exam, review of AD’s and notices, and a daily/preflight inspection review. A BFR (biennial
flight review) can also be given in conjunction with this course and includes review of FAR
Part 91 and an open book exam. Flight training consists of three hours of intensive emer-
gency procedures review.
