Common Errors 1. Faulty entry technique. 2. Poor planning, orientation, and/or division of attention. 3. Uncoordinated flight control application. 4. Improper correction for wind drift. 5. Failure to maintain selected altitude and airspeed. 6. Selection of a ground reference with ... Turns Another training maneuver to use is the S-turn, which helps correct for wind drift in turns. This maneuver requires turns to the left and right. Technique Figure 9-16. S-turns across a road. The pilot can choose…

automatically make the correct response when confronted with engine stoppage or certain other emergencies while hovering. The techniques discussed in this section are for helicopters with a counterclockwise rotor disk and an antitorque rotor. Technique (How to Practice) To practice ... feet) for the particular helicopter being used, considering load and atmospheric conditions. Keep the helicopter headed into the wind and hold maximum allowable rpm. To simulate a power failure, firmly roll the throttle to the engine idle position. This disengages…

takeoff. Planning should include suitable forced landing areas. Figure 10-6. Slope landing. Figure 10-7. Slope takeoff. Technique Begin the takeoff by increasing rpm to the normal range with the collective full down. Then, move the cyclic toward ... throttle to maintain rpm. With the helicopter level and the cyclic centered, pause momentarily to verify everything is correct, and then gradually raise the collective to complete the liftoff (frame 3). After reaching a hover, avoid hitting the ground with…

establish a heading (crab) toward the wind. The selected heading should align the airplane’s wings-level ground track with the centerline of the runway. The pilot makes small heading corrections, if needed, to maintain alignment with the runway. [Figure ... method sets up the crosswind correction well before touchdown, does not require a heading change at the moment before touchdown, and allows the pilot to exercise smooth and continuous control. Pilots using this technique use precise airplane control as changes…
