  Chapter 10: Advanced Flight Maneuvers › Confined Area Operations › Takeoff

  Clearing a barrier by a few feet and maintaining normal operating rpm, with perhaps a reserve of power, is better than clearing a barrier by a wide margin but with a dangerously low rpm and no power reserve. Always make ... landing to a specific point and not to some general area. This point should be located well forward, away from the approach end of the area. The more confined the area is, the more essential it is that the helicopter…

  Chapter 6: Weight and Balance › Balance › CG Aft of Aft Limit

  Aft of Aft Limit Without proper ballast in the cockpit, exceeding the aft CG may occur when: • A lightweight pilot takes off solo with a full load of fuel located aft of the rotor mast. • A lightweight pilot takes ... with maximum baggage allowed in a baggage compartment located aft of the rotor mast. • A lightweight pilot takes off with a combination of baggage and substantial fuel where both are aft of the rotor mast. A pilot can recognize…

  pilot must descend (dive) to get to runway 27. After becoming aligned with the runway and at 50 feet AGL, the pilot is already 1,000 feet down the 3,500 feet runway. The airspeed is still high by about ... landing distance. In performance planning, the pilot determined that at 70 knots the distance would be 1,600 feet. However, now it is increased by 20 percent and the required distance is now 1,920 feet. The newly revised landing…

  Chapter 10: Advanced Flight Maneuvers › Maximum Performance Takeoff › Technique

  Normally, this maneuver is initiated from the surface. After checking the area for obstacles and other aircraft, select reference points along the takeoff path to maintain ground track. Also consider alternate routes in case the maneuver is not possible. [Figure ... Begin the takeoff by getting the helicopter light on the skids (position 1). Pause and neutralize all aircraft movement. Slowly increase the collective and position the cyclic to lift off in a 40-knot attitude. This is approximately the same…

  Technique On final approach, at the recommended approach airspeed and at approximately 300 feet AGL, the helicopter should be on the correct ground track (or ground alignment) for the intended landing site, but the axis of the helicopter does ... have to be aligned until about 50-100 feet AGL to facilitate a controlled approach. [Figure 9-20] Just prior to reaching the desired approach angle, begin the approach by lowering the collective sufficiently to get the helicopter decelerating…

  Failing to adjust the throttle to maintain proper rpm. 7. Failing to transition to a level crab to maintain ground track. Figure 9-12. The helicopter takes several positions during a normal takeoff from hover. Normal Takeoff from the Surface ... Normal takeoff from the surface is used to move the helicopter from a position on the surface into effective translational lift and a normal climb using a minimum amount of power. If the surface is dusty or covered with loose…
