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 to accomplish the desired results. 4. Allowing the helicopter to stop forward ... vortex ring state (20–100 percent of available power applied, airspeed of less than 10 knots, and a rate of descent greater than 300 feet per minute (fpm)). For additional information on vortex ring state (formerly referenced as settling-with…

each 1,000 feet of altitude. Proper accounting of density altitude is necessary to accurately predict landing distance. The effect of proper landing speed is important when runway lengths and landing distances are critical. The landing speeds specified ... stall, be difficult to control, or develop high rates of descent. On the other hand, an excessive speed at landing may improve the controllability slightly (especially in crosswinds) but causes an undesirable increase in landing distance. A ten percent excess…

done immediately in case of an engine failure), lift and drag are reduced, and the helicopter begins an immediate descent, thus producing an upward flow of air through the rotor disk. This upward flow of air through the rotor disk ... provides sufficient thrust to maintain rotor rpm throughout the descent. Since the tail rotor is driven by the main rotor transmission during autorotation, heading control is maintained with the antitorque pedals as in normal flight. Several factors affect the rate…
