- Chapter 9: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Hovering—Rearward Flight › Technique
Common Errors 1. Exaggerated movement of the cyclic, resulting in overcontrolling and erratic movement over the surface. 2. Failure to use proper antitorque pedal control, resulting in excessive heading change. 3. Failure to maintain desired hovering height. 4. Failure ... maintain proper rpm. 5. Failure to make sure the area is clear prior to starting the maneuver. Hovering—Rearward Flight Rearward hovering flight may be necessary to move the helicopter to a specific area when the situation is such that…
- Chapter 9: Basic Flight Maneuvers › The Four Fundamentals › Guidelines
Guidelines Good practices to follow during maneuvering flight include: 1. Move the cyclic only as fast as trim, torque, and rotor speed can be maintained. When entering a maneuver and the trim, rotor, or torque reacts quicker than anticipated, pilot ... limitations have been exceeded. If continued, an aircraft limitation will be exceeded. Perform the maneuver with less intensity until all aspects of the machine can be controlled. The pilot must be aware of the sensitivity of the flight controls…
- Chapter 11: Helicopter Emergencies and Hazards › System Malfunctions › Antitorque System Failure
following the manufacturer’s recommendations regarding operating limits and procedures and periodic maintenance and inspections, many system and equipment failures can be eliminated. Certain malfunctions or failures can be traced to some error on the part of the pilot; therefore ... appropriate flying techniques and use of threat and error management may help to prevent an emergency Antitorque System Failure Antitorque failure usually falls into one of two categories. One is failure of the power drive portion of the tail rotor…
- Chapter 9: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Hovering—Sideward Flight › Technique
straight ground track, use two reference points in line and at some distance in front of the helicopter. Failure to use proper antitorque pedal control, resulting in excessive heading change. 3. Failure to maintain desired hovering height. 4. Failure ... maintain proper rpm. 5. Failure to maintain alignment with direction of travel. Hovering—Sideward Flight Sideward hovering flight may be necessary to move the helicopter to a specific area when conditions make it impossible to use forward flight. During…
- Chapter 9: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Ground Reference Maneuvers
Ground Reference Maneuvers Ground reference maneuvers may be used as training exercises to help develop a division of attention between the flightpath and ground references, and while controlling the helicopter and watching for other aircraft in the vicinity. Other examples ... ground reference maneuvers are flights for photographic or observation purposes, such as pipe line or power line checks. Prior to each maneuver, a clearing turn should be done to ensure the area is free of conflicting traffic. Figure…
- Chapter 9: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Turns › Technique
Common Errors 1. Failure to trim the helicopter 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 to 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…
