  • Chapter 9: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Taxiing › Technique

    Throughout the maneuver, maintain a desired groundspeed and ground track with the cyclic, a constant heading with antitorque pedals, the desired altitude with the collective, and proper operating rpm with the throttle. During a crosswind taxi, hold the cyclic into ... hover altitude, increase the collective as necessary to stop descent at hover altitude (much like a quick stop maneuver (see page 10-4)). Common Errors 1. Improper use of cyclic. 2. Failure to use antitorque pedals for heading control. Common…

    into the wind. Maintaining a constant airspeed throughout the maneuver is an important skill for a pilot to develop. This is necessary because the airspeed tends to fluctuate as the bank angle is changed throughout the maneuver. The pilot should ... bank angle is varied throughout the maneuver. During practice of the maneuver, the pilot should execute at least three turns and roll out toward a definite object or on a specific heading. To make the exercise more challenging, the pilot…
