  When the collective is raised, the opposite antitorque pedal used in powered flight will be needed due to the friction within the transmission/drive train. Touch down in a level flight attitude. Control response with increased pitch angles will be slightly ... application. A power recovery can be made during training in lieu of a full touchdown landing. Refer to the section on power recovery for the correct technique. After the helicopter has come to a complete stop after touchdown, lower…

  Upon reaching the course line, set the appropriate crosswind correction. If the collective pitch was increased to control the rpm, it may need to be lowered on rollout to prevent decay in rotor rpm. This maneuver should be aborted ... primary concern is getting the aircraft into the course line with as much altitude as possible. Once the collective has been lowered and the engine set to flight idle, the helicopter will lose altitude. A delayed turn will result…

  reaching the desired approach angle, begin the approach by lowering the collective sufficiently to get the helicopter decelerating and descending down the approach angle. With the decrease in the collective, the nose tends to pitch down, requiring aft cyclic ... approach to the termination point. The collective controls the angle of approach. Use the cyclic to control the rate of closure or how fast the helicopter is moving towards the touchdown point. Maintain entry airspeed until the apparent groundspeed…

  angle allows for a lower power setting during the approach and ensures that the nose remains to the right. Upon reaching the intended touchdown area and at the appropriate landing gear height, increase the collective smoothly to align the nose ... helicopter may remain to the left with zero to near zero groundspeed above the intended touchdown point. If the helicopter is not turning, simply lower the helicopter to the surface. If the nose of the helicopter is turning…

  when power is reduced. 3. Lowering the nose too abruptly when power is reduced, thus placing the helicopter in a dive. 4. Failing to maintain proper rotor rpm during the descent. 5. Applying up-collective pitch at an excessive altitude ... resulting in a hard landing, loss of heading control, and possible damage to the tail rotor and main rotor blade stops. 6. Failing to level the helicopter or achieve the manufacturers preferred landing attitude. 7. Failing to minimize or eliminate…

  than that for a normal approach since the angle of descent is less (position 1). As the collective is lowered, maintain heading with proper antitorque pedal pressure and rpm with the throttle. Maintain approach airspeed until the apparent rate ... normal and steep approaches, the primary control for the angle and rate of descent is the collective, while the cyclic primarily controls the groundspeed. However, there must be a coordination of all the controls for the maneuver to be accomplished…
