  from a single cyclic located in the center of the helicopter. The cyclic can pivot in all directions. Antitorque Pedals The antitorque pedals, located on the cabin floor by the pilot’s feet, control the pitch and therefore the thrust ... flight possible and to compensate for this torque, most helicopter designs incorporate an antitorque rotor or tail rotor. The antitorque pedals allow the pilot to control the pitch angle of the tail rotor blades, which in forward flight puts…

  nose of the helicopter yaws to the left and the tail swings right. [Figure 3-6] With the antitorque pedals in the neutral position, the tail rotor has a medium positive pitch angle. In medium positive pitch, the tail rotor ... designed with both rotor systems rotating in opposite directions to counteract the torque rather than a tail rotor. Directional antitorque pedals are used for directional control of the aircraft while in flight, as well as while taxiing with the forward…

  Throughout the maneuver, maintain a desired groundspeed and ground track with the cyclic, a constant heading with antitorque pedals, the desired altitude with the collective, and proper operating rpm with the throttle. During a crosswind taxi, hold the cyclic into ... quick stop maneuver (see page 10-4)). Common Errors 1. Improper use of cyclic. 2. Failure to use antitorque pedals for heading control. Common Errors 1. Erratic movement of the cyclic, resulting in improper airspeed control and erratic movement over…
