provides visual guidance cues to the pilot to fly selected lateral and vertical modes of operation. The most advanced autopilots can fly an instrument approach to a hover without any additional pilot input once the initial functions have been selected ... autopilot system consists of electric actuators or servos connected to the flight controls. The number and location of these servos depends on the type of system installed. A two-axis autopilot controls the helicopter in pitch and roll; one servo…

intercepted pilot should expect the interceptor helicopter to take a position off his left wing slightly forward of abeam. 3. Post Intercept Phase. Visual signaling devices may be used in an attempt to communicate with the intercepted aircraft. Visual signaling ... blue flashing lights. If compliance is not attained through the use of radios or signaling devices, standard ICAO intercept signals (TBL 5-6-1) may be employed. In order to maintain safe aircraft separation, it is incumbent upon the pilot…

offer multiple levels of automation, from strictly manual flight to highly automated flight. No one level of automation is appropriate for all flight situations, but in order to avoid potentially dangerous distractions when flying with advanced avionics, the pilot must ... know how to manage the course deviation indicator (CDI), the navigation source, and the autopilot. It is important for a pilot to know the peculiarities of the particular automated system being used. This ensures the pilot knows what to expect…
- Chapter 16: Navigation › Ground-Based Navigation › Angle of Intercept
Rate of Intercept Rate of intercept, seen by the aviator as bearing pointer or HSI movement, is a result of the following factors: • The angle at which the aircraft is flown toward a desired course (angle of intercept) • True airspeed ... wind (GS) • Distance from the station Angle of Intercept The angle of intercept is the angle between the heading of the aircraft (intercept heading) and the desired course. Controlling this angle by selection/adjustment of the intercept heading is the easiest…
