  Technique On final approach, at the recommended approach airspeed and at approximately 300 feet AGL, the helicopter should be on the correct ground track (or ground alignment) for the intended landing site, but the axis of the helicopter does ... have to be aligned until about 50-100 feet AGL to facilitate a controlled approach. [Figure 9-20] Just prior to reaching the desired approach angle, begin the approach by lowering the collective sufficiently to get the helicopter decelerating…

  Technique On final approach, maintain track with the intended touchdown point and into the wind as much as possible at the recommended approach airspeed [Figure 10-4, position 1]. When intercepting an approach angle of 13° to 15°, begin ... approach by lowering the collective sufficiently to start the helicopter descending down the approach path and decelerating (position 2). Use the proper antitorque pedal for trim. Since this angle is steeper than a normal approach angle, reduce the collective more…

  When radar handoffs are utilized, successive arriving flights may be handed off to approach control with radar separation in lieu of vertical separation. (b) After release to approach control, aircraft are vectored to the final approach course (ILS, RNAV ... issued as required for spacing and separating aircraft. Therefore, pilots must not deviate from the headings issued by approach control. Aircraft will normally be informed when it is necessary to vector across the final approach course for spacing or other…

  Simultaneous Offset Instrument Approach (SOIA). 1. SOIA is a procedure used to conduct simultaneous approaches to runways spaced less than 3,000 feet, but at least 750 feet apart. The SOIA procedure utilizes a straight-in PRM approach ... runway, and a PRM offset approach with glideslope/glidepath to the adjacent runway. In SOIA operations, aircraft are paired, with the aircraft conducting the straight-in PRM approach always positioned slightly ahead of the aircraft conducting the offset PRM approach…

  Chapter 10: Advanced Flight Maneuvers › Steep Approach

  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 ... 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 situation when…
