  level flight. Most of the factors affecting hover and takeoff performance also affect climb performance. In addition, turbulent air, pilot techniques, and overall condition of the helicopter can cause climb performance to vary. A helicopter flown at the best rate…

  Chapter 10: Advanced Flight Maneuvers › Maximum Performance Takeoff

  Positioning the helicopter at the most downwind portion of the confined area gives the pilot the most distance to clear obstacles. Wind analysis also helps determine the route of takeoff. The prevailing wind can be altered by obstructions ... Also consider the wind velocity, temperature, density altitude, gross weight, center of gravity (CG) location, and other factors affecting pilot technique and the performance of the helicopter. To accomplish this type of takeoff safely, there must be enough power…

  Chapter 9: Techniques of Flight Instruction › Assessment of Piloting Ability › Visualization

  Pilot Supervision Flight instructors have the responsibility to provide guidance and restraint with respect to the solo operations of their learners. This is by far the most important flight instructor responsibility. The flight instructor is the only person ... challenges the learner masters individually before being able to perform them collectively. Visualization SBT lends itself well to visualization techniques. For example, have a learner visualize how the flight may occur under normal circumstances, with the learner describing the progress…
