  • Chapter 11: Helicopter Emergencies and Hazards › Dynamic Rollover

    Dynamic rollover may also occur if you use an improper landing or takeoff technique or while performing slope operations. Whatever the cause, dynamic rollover is possible if not using the proper corrective technique. Once started, dynamic rollover cannot be stopped ... right. Even with full left cyclic applied, the main rotor thrust vector and its moment follows the aircraft as it continues rolling to the right. Quickly reducing collective pitch is the most effective way to stop dynamic rollover from developing…

    over on its side. [Figure 11-7] Figure 11-6. Upslope rolling motion. Under normal conditions on a slope, the collective should not be pulled suddenly to get airborne because a large and abrupt rolling moment in the opposite direction ... Excessive application of collective can result in the upslope skid or wheel rising sufficiently to exceed lateral cyclic control limits. This movement may be uncontrollable. If the helicopter develops a roll rate with one skid or wheel on the ground…

    runway length, runway surface, runway slope, surface wind, and the presence of obstacles. These factors may require a reduction in or redistribution of weight prior to flight. Figure 10-4. Establishing a balance. Some aircraft are designed so that ... difficult to load them in a manner that places the CG out of limits. These are usually small aircraft with the seats, fuel, and baggage areas located near the CG limit. Pilots must be aware that while within CG limits…

  • Chapter 7: Helicopter Instrument Procedures › Copter Only Approaches to An Airport or Heliport

    Approaches with a HAT below 200 feet are annotated with the note: “Special Aircrew & Aircraft Certification Required” since the FAA must approve the helicopter and its avionics, and the flight crew must have the required experience, training, and checking ... check. For Copter CAT II ILS operations below 200 feet HAT, approach deviations are limited to 1⁄4 scale of the localizer or glide slope needle. Deviations beyond that require an immediate missed approach unless the pilot has at least…
