collective is raised, the opposite antitorque pedal used in powered flight will be needed due to the friction within the transmission/drive train. Touch down in a level flight attitude. Control response with increased pitch angles will be slightly different than ... normal. With a decrease in main rotor rpm, the antitorque authority is reduced (the pedals react more slowly), requiring larger control inputs to maintain heading at touchdown. Some helicopters, such as the Schweitzer 300, have a canted tail stabilizer. With…

Servo Failure Most helicopters certified for single-pilot IFR flight are required to have autopilots, which greatly reduces pilot workload. If an autopilot servo fails, however, resume manual control of the helicopter. The amount of workload increase depends on which ... parking brakes or apply the toe brakes. If the parking brake is used, it must be unlocked after the takeoff has been completed. Apply sufficient friction to the collective pitch control to minimize overcontrolling and to prevent creeping. Excessive friction…
