  systems of the helicopter. The chapter also explained how each of them work with one another to make flight possible. Chapter 5: Rotorcraft Flight Manual Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 91 requires pilot compliance ... with the operating limitations specified in approved rotorcraft flight manuals, markings, and placards. Originally, flight manuals were often characterized by a lack of essential information and followed whatever format and content the manufacturer deemed appropriate. This changed with the acceptance…

  appropriate times. Using these assumptions, the manufacturer develops performance data for the helicopter based on actual flight tests. However, they do not test the helicopter under each and every condition shown on a performance chart. Instead, they evaluate specific data ... mathematically derive the remaining data. Height/Velocity Diagram The height/velocity (H/V) diagram shows the combinations of airspeed and height above the ground, which will allow an average pilot to successfully complete a landing after an engine failure.
