  Chapter 9: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Hovering Turn › Technique

  amount of pedal pressure and cyclic deflection throughout the turn depends on the wind velocity. As the turn is finished on the upwind heading, apply opposite pedal pressure to stop the turn. Gradually apply forward cyclic pressure to keep ... helicopter from drifting. Control pressures and direction of application change continuously throughout the turn. The most dramatic change is the pedal pressure (and corresponding power requirement) necessary to control the rate of turn as the helicopter moves through the downwind…

  properly, tending to hold antitorque pedal pressure and opposite cyclic. This is commonly called cross-controlling. 2. Failure to maintain desired airspeed. 3. Failure to hold proper control position to maintain desired ground track. 4. Failure to allow helicopter ... stabilize at new airspeed. Turns A turn is a maneuver used to change the heading of the helicopter. The aerodynamics of a turn were previously discussed in Chapter 2, Aerodynamics of Flight. Technique Before beginning any turn, the area…

  Chapter 9: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Hovering › Technique

  Hovering A stationary hover is a maneuver in which the helicopter is maintained in nearly motionless flight over a reference point at a constant altitude and on a constant heading. Technique To maintain a hover over a point, use sideview ... altitude. When these changes are noted, make the necessary control inputs before the helicopter starts to move from the point. To detect small variations in altitude or position, the main area of visual attention needs to be some distance from…

  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 ... 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 and in line with the helicopter. These reference points should…

  Chapter 10: IFR Flight › En Route Procedures › Position Reports

  Position Reports Position reports are required over each compulsory reporting point (shown on the chart as a solid triangle) along the route being flown regardless of altitude, including those with a VFR-on-top clearance. Along direct routes, reports ... required of all IFR flights over each point used to define the route of flight. Reports at reporting points (shown as an open triangle) are made only when requested by ATC. A pilot should discontinue position reporting over designated reporting…
