- Chapter 9: Techniques of Flight Instruction › Postflight Evaluation › First Solo Flight
First Solo Flight During the learner’s first solo flight, the instructor needs to be present to assist in answering questions or resolving any issues that arise during the flight. To ensure the solo flight is a positive, confidence-building ... experience for the learner, the flight instructor needs to consider time of day when scheduling the flight. Time of day is a factor in traffic congestion, possible winds, sun angles, and reflection. If possible, the flight instructor needs access…

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…
- Chapter 6: Flight Controls › Flight Control Systems › Primary Flight Controls
Flight Control Systems Flight Controls Aircraft flight control systems consist of primary and secondary systems. The ailerons, elevator (or stabilator), and rudder constitute the primary control system and are required to control an aircraft safely during flight. Wing flaps, leading ... control system and improve the performance characteristics of the airplane or relieve the pilot of excessive control forces. Primary Flight Controls Aircraft control systems are carefully designed to provide adequate responsiveness to control inputs while allowing a natural feel…

Figure 2-33. To transition to forward flight, more lift and thrust must be generated to overcome the forces of weight and drag. any changes in power or in cyclic movement, the helicopter begins either to climb or to descend ... Once straight-and-level flight is obtained, the pilot should make note of the power (torque setting) required and not make major adjustments to the flight controls. [Figure 2-34] Airflow in Forward Flight Airflow across the rotor disk…
- Chapter 9: Techniques of Flight Instruction › Sterile Flight Deck Rule
Sterile Flight Deck Rule Commonly known as the “sterile flight deck rule,” Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 121, section 121.542 requires airline flight crewmembers to refrain from nonessential activities during critical phases of flight ... defined in the regulation, critical phases of flight are all ground operations involving taxi, takeoff, and landing, and all other flight operations below 10,000 feet except cruise flight. Nonessential activities include such activities as eating, reading a newspaper…
- Chapter 2: Aerodynamics of Flight › Sideward Flight
Sideward Flight In sideward flight, the tip-path plane is tilted in the direction that flight is desired. This tilts the total lift-thrust vector sideward. In this case, the vertical or lift component is still straight up and weight ... horizontal or thrust component now acts sideward with drag acting to the opposite side. [Figure 2-42] Sideward flight can be a very unstable condition due to the parasitic drag of the fuselage combined with the lack of horizontal stabilizer…
