  • Chapter 9: Techniques of Flight Instruction › Positive Exchange of Flight Controls › Procedure

    Procedure During flight training, there should always be a clear understanding between learners and flight instructors about who has control of the aircraft. The preflight briefing should include procedures for the exchange of flight controls. A positive three-step process ... exchange of flight controls between pilots is a proven procedure and one that is strongly recommended. When an instructor is teaching a maneuver to a learner, the instructor normally demonstrates the maneuver first, then has the learner follow along…

  • Chapter 8: Ground Procedures and Flight Preparations › Engine Start and Rotor Engagement › Aircraft Servicing

    properly conducted. Pilots should remain at the flight controls; and refueling personnel should be knowledgeable about the proper refueling procedures and properly briefed for specific helicopter makes and models. The pilot may need to train the refueling personnel on proper ... refueling procedures for that specific helicopter. The pilot should explain communication signs or calls, normal servicing procedures, and emergency procedures as a minimum. At all times during the refueling process, the pilot should remain vigilant and ready to immediately shut…

  • Chapter 8: Ground Procedures and Flight Preparations › Preflight › Minimum Equipment Lists (MELs) and Operations with Inoperative Equipment

    maintenance deferrals must be accomplished in accordance with the terms and conditions of the MEL and the operatorgenerated procedures document. The use of an MEL for rotorcraft operated under part 91 also allows for the deferral of inoperative items ... model MMEL, along with an LOA, and the preamble. The operator then develops operations and maintenance (O&M) procedures from the MMEL. This MMEL with O&M procedures now becomes the operator’s MEL. The MEL, LOA, preamble, and procedures…

  • Chapter 11: Helicopter Emergencies and Hazards › System Malfunctions › Recovery Technique (Uncontrolled Right Yaw)

    Recovery Technique (Uncontrolled Right Yaw) If a sudden unanticipated right yaw occurs, the following recovery technique should be performed. Apply full left pedal. Simultaneously, apply forward cyclic control to increase speed. If altitude permits, reduce power. As recovery is affected ... adjust controls for normal forward flight. A recovery path must always be planned, especially when terminating to an OGE hover and executed immediately if an uncommanded yaw is evident. Collective pitch reduction aids in arresting the yaw rate…

  • Chapter 9: Techniques of Flight Instruction › Integrating Instruction Techniques › Integrated Training Curricula

    classroom to the aircraft. An instructor initially provides the required knowledge in a classroom environment and then follows with procedural training in the simulator. For example, when utilizing an integrated ground and flight-training program, an authorized instructor would initially ... design, and the associated flight operations through ground and classroom training. The instructor then provides instruction on aircraft flight procedures and details specific to operations in national airspace system. After the learner has gained the required knowledge and understands…

  • Chapter 5: Rotorcraft Flight Manual › Emergency Procedures (Section 3)

    Emergency Procedures (Section 3) Concise checklists describing the recommended procedures and airspeeds for coping with various types of emergencies or critical situations can be found in this section. Some of the emergencies covered include: engine failure in a hover ... altitude, tail rotor failures, fires, and systems failures. The procedures for restarting an engine and for ditching in the water might also be included. Manufacturers may first show the emergencies checklists in an abbreviated form with the order of items…
