General The BK117 D-2 is a
multi purpose twin engine
helicopter in the 4 t class with
eight seats in the basic version
4. Main Rotor System
The main rotor
blades are
manufactured from
fiber-reinforced
plastic and are
directly connected to
the rigid titanium
rotor head.
Fuselage
The primary structure
mainly consists of
sheet metal. Cabin
frame, bottom shell,
doors, engine cowlings
and access panels are
made of composite
material.
Tail Rotor System
The helicopter is
equipped with a fan
in shroud type of tail
rotor (Fenestron)
with 10 blades and a
carbon fiber tail
boom.
Flight Controls
The main rotor is
controlled by a so
called “Flexball”
type cable, routed
from the control
elements via the
cabin nose to the
cabin roof mounted
hydraulic system.
Landing Gear
The BK117 D-2 has
two cross tubes and
two skids. The cross
tubes are designed to
absorb forces during
touch down of the
helicopter, by
bending.
Fuel System
The fuel system
comprises three fuel
tanks, a fuel supply
system, are fueling
and ventilation
system and a
monitoring system.
Engines
The BK117 D-2 is

Turbomeca Arriel 2E
engines with a power
output of 445 kW
each.
Electrical System
The fully redundant
28.5 VDC electrical
system is supplied by
two generators and
the battery.
6. Maintenance Concept
GENERAL
Maintenance” covers all scheduled and
unscheduled maintenance activities. It also
applies to the on condition maintenance. It is
based on condition monitoring by visual
checks/inspections and diagnostic features such
as chip detectors, filter bypass indicators,
boroscope access, failure code indications,
built-in tests, warning lights etc.
ORGANIZATIONAL
LEVEL
DEPOT LEVEL (D)
INTERMEDIAT
E LEVEL
The organizational level covers tasks of
the daily servicing,
maintenance checks, inspections for
condition, exchange of
components (e.g. LRU) and quick, simple
repairs as specified in the
aircraft maintenance manual (AMM)
The intermediate level covers repairs on/off
helicopter, extended
periodical inspections as specified in the
aircraft maintenance manual.
To fulfill these tasks, maintenance facility,
qualified personal, test
equipment and special tools are required.
Depot level covers major repair or
overhaul at the manufacturer or at
authorized service stations under
industrial premises.
More extensive tools/test equipment and
specialized personnel are
necessary.
NOTE The maintenance manual covers
all tasks of organizational level and intermediate
level.
NOTE Documentation and spares for depot
level tasks will be delivered to authorized customers only.
