- NIGHT EMERGENCY LANDING › LANDING BY PARACHUTE FLARE
follows: 1. Establish a heading 140º off the selected landing heading. 2. Lower the flaps and establish the desired landing pattern approach speed. 3. As close to 2,000 feet above the surface as possible, set the parachute flare ... flare ignites at 1,700 feet. 4. Release the flare and begin a descent of 900 f.p.m. while maintaining heading for 45 seconds. If the starting altitude is other than 2,000 feet, determine the rate of descent by subtracting…

heading as long as directional control permits. As the rotor r.p.m. decreases to the point that the desired heading cannot be maintained, bring the rotor to a stop as quickly as possible to avoid rotor contact with the tail boom ... that during touchdown, the helicopter is kept in a slight nose-high position. For greater safety, slow to around 5 knots of forward speed. However, if this is not possible, maintain a slight nose-high attitude and full-up collective…

correct heading. Assume, for this example, a 10° correction for a heading of 360° is maintained. While maintaining a heading of 360°, assume that the course deviation begins to move to the left. This means that the wind correction ... left should be made to permit the aircraft to return to the desired radial. When the deviation needle centers, a small wind drift correction of 5° or a heading correction of 355° should be flown. If this correction is adequate…

Similar to a video game, the display generates a runway the pilot can maneuver down in order to maintain directional control. As long as the pilot tracks down the computer-generated runway, the aircraft remains aligned with the actual runway ... Cross-check the heading indicator on the PFD with the magnetic compass and adjust for any deviations noted on the compass card. Set the heading to the nearest 5 degree mark closest to the runway heading. This allows the pilot…
