  relying on flight instruments for assessing true aircraft attitude. A pilot should not attempt any of these maneuvers at low altitudes or in the absence of an instructor pilot or an appropriate safety pilot. Climbing While Accelerating With the pilot ... still closed and the aircraft in a straightand-level attitude, the instructor pilot now executes, with a relatively slow entry, a well coordinated turn of about 1.5 positive G (approximately 50° bank) for 90°. While in the turn, without outside…

  Chapter 11: Helicopter Emergencies and Hazards › Autorotation › RPM Control

  slight gain in altitude at cruise airspeed during the power off entry into an autorotation should not be of great concern as is the case for the execution of practice or actual quick stops. Various accident investigations have concluded that ... cruise airspeed, pilots are not simultaneously applying down collective, aft cyclic, and antitorque pedal inputs in a timely manner. Low inertia rotor systems store less kinetic energy during autorotation and, as a result, rotor rpm decays rapidly during deceleration…

  Chapter 11: Helicopter Emergencies and Hazards › Autorotation › Common Errors

  Common Errors The following common errors should be prevented: 1. Entering the maneuver at an improper altitude or airspeed. 2. Entering the maneuver without a level attitude (or not in coordinated flight). 3. Entering the maneuver and not correcting from ... which allows excessive airspeed loss in the descent). 4. Improper transition into the descent on entry. 5. Improper use of anti-torque on entry. 6. Failure to establish the appropriate crosswind correction, allowing the aircraft to drift. Failure to maintain…

  Common Errors—Traditional Recovery 1. Too much lateral speed for entry into vortex ring state. 2. Excessive decrease of collective. Common Errors—Vuichard Recovery 1. Excessive lateral cyclic 2. Failure to maintain heading Retreating Blade Stall In forward flight ... development can be felt by a low frequency vibration, pitching up of the nose, and a roll in the direction of the retreating blade. High weight, low rotor rpm, high density altitude, turbulence and/or steep, abrupt turns are all conducive…

  Common Errors 1. Initiating the maneuver by lowering the collective without aft cyclic pressure to maintain altitude. 2. Initially applying aft cyclic stick too rapidly, causing the helicopter to balloon (climb). 3. Failing to effectively control the rate of deceleration ... accomplish the desired results. 4. Allowing the helicopter to stop forward motion in a tail-low attitude. 5. Failing to maintain proper rotor rpm. 6. Waiting too long to apply collective pitch (power) during the recovery, resulting in an overtorque…
