  Chapter 9: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Hovering › Common Errors

  Common Errors 1. Tenseness and slow reactions to movements of the helicopter. 2. Failure to allow for lag in cyclic and collective pitch, which leads to overcontrolling. It is very common for a student to get ahead of the helicopter ... aware that dynamic rollover accidents usually occur over a level surface. Hovering Turn A hovering turn is a maneuver performed at hovering height in which the nose of the helicopter is rotated either left or right while maintaining position over…

  Chapter 9: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Ground Reference Maneuvers

  Ground Reference Maneuvers Ground reference maneuvers may be used as training exercises to help develop a division of attention between the flightpath and ground references, and while controlling the helicopter and watching for other aircraft in the vicinity. Other examples ... ground reference maneuvers are flights for photographic or observation purposes, such as pipe line or power line checks. Prior to each maneuver, a clearing turn should be done to ensure the area is free of conflicting traffic. Figure…

  Chapter 9: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Common Errors › S-Turns

  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 ... flying a course parallel to the intended area (e.g., traffic pattern or square field). S-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…

  Chapter 9: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Hovering—Forward Flight › Technique

  Common Errors Failing to maintain a slow, constant rate of turn. 2. Failing to maintain position over the reference point. 3. Failing to maintain rpm within normal range. 4. Failing to maintain constant altitude. 5. Failing to use the antitorque ... used to move a helicopter to a specific location, and it may begin from a stationary hover. During the maneuver, constant groundspeed, altitude, and heading should be maintained. Technique Before starting, pick out two references directly in front…

  Chapter 9: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Hovering—Rearward Flight › Technique

  Common Errors 1. Exaggerated movement of the cyclic, resulting in overcontrolling and erratic movement over the surface. 2. Failure to use proper antitorque pedal control, resulting in excessive heading change. 3. Failure to maintain desired hovering height. 4. Failure ... maintain proper rpm. 5. Failure to make sure the area is clear prior to starting the maneuver. Hovering—Rearward Flight Rearward hovering flight may be necessary to move the helicopter to a specific area when the situation is such that…

  Chapter 10: Advanced Flight Maneuvers › Running/Rolling Takeoff › Common Errors

  should be flown to a suitable altitude to allow a safe acceleration in accordance with the height-velocity diagram. Common Errors 1. Failing to align heading and ground track to keep surface friction to a minimum. 2. Attempting to become ... Failing to remain below the recommended altitude until airspeed approaches normal climb speed. Rapid Deceleration or Quick Stop This maneuver is used to decelerate from forward flight to a hover. It is often used to abort takeoffs, to stop…
