  Chapter 9: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Go-Around

  Around A go-around is a procedure for remaining airborne after an intended landing is discontinued. A go-around may be necessary when: • Instructed by the control tower. • Traffic conflict occurs. • The helicopter is in a position from which ... safe to continue the approach. Any time an approach is uncomfortable, incorrect, or potentially dangerous, abandon the approach. The decision to make a go-around should be positive and initiated before a critical situation develops. When the decision is made…

  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…

  emphasize that routine flight operations may lead to a sense of complacency, which can threaten flight safety by reducing situational awareness. By asking about positions of other aircraft in the traffic pattern, engine instrument indications, and the aircraft’s location ... relation to references on a chart, the flight instructor can determine if the learner is maintaining situational awareness. The flight instructor can also attempt to focus the learner’s attention on an imaginary problem with the communication or navigation equipment…

  proper rotor rpm. 6. Waiting too long to apply collective pitch (power) during the recovery, resulting in an overtorque situation when collective pitch is applied rapidly. 7. Failing to maintain a safe clearance over the terrain. 8. Using antitorque pedals ... improperly, resulting in erratic heading changes. 9. Using an excessively nose-high attitude. Steep Approach A steep approach is used primarily when there are obstacles in the approach path that are too high to allow a normal approach. A steep…

Maintain the approach angle and rate of descent with the collective, rate of closure with the cyclic ... point. In small confined areas, the pilot must precisely position the helicopter over the intended landing area. Therefore, the approach must stop at that point. Loss of effective translational lift occurs higher in a steep approach (position 3), requiring…

When passengers are approaching or leaving a helicopter that is sitting on a slope with the rotors turning, they should approach and depart downhill ... This affords the greatest distance between the rotor blades and the ground. If this involves walking around the helicopter, they should always go around the front—never the rear.
