  Chapter 9: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Ground Reference Maneuvers

  Ground Reference Maneuvers Ground reference maneuvers may be used as training exercises to help develop a division of attention between the flightpath and ground references, and while controlling the helicopter and watching for other aircraft in the vicinity. Other examples ... ground reference maneuvers are flights for photographic or observation purposes, such as pipe line or power line checks. Prior to each maneuver, a clearing turn should be done to ensure the area is free of conflicting traffic. Figure…

  Chapter 9: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Common Errors › S-Turns

  Common Errors 1. Faulty entry technique. 2. Poor planning, orientation, and/or division of attention. 3. Uncoordinated flight control application. 4. Improper correction for wind drift. 5. Failure to maintain selected altitude and airspeed. 6. Selection of a ground reference with ... flying a course parallel to the intended area (e.g., traffic pattern or square field). S-Turns Another training maneuver to use is the S-turn, which helps correct for wind drift in turns. This maneuver requires turns to the left…

  Content validity means that a particular maneuver or procedure closely mimics what is required in actual flying. Criterion validity means that the completion standards for the test are reflective of acceptable standards. For example, in flight training, content validity ... reflected by a particular maneuver closely mimicking a maneuver required in actual flight, such as the learner pilot being able to recover from a power-off stall. Criterion validity means that the completion standards for the test are reflective…

  Chapter 9: Basic Flight Maneuvers › The Four Fundamentals

  Four Fundamentals There are four fundamentals of flight upon which all maneuvers are based: straight-and-level flight, turns, climbs, and descents. All controlled flight maneuvers consist of one or more of these four fundamentals of flight. If a student ... pilot is able to perform these maneuvers well, and the student’s proficiency is based on accurate “feel” and control analysis rather than mechanical movements, the ability to perform any assigned maneuver is only a matter of obtaining a clear…

  Chapter 9: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Hovering—Forward Flight › Technique

  Common Errors Failing to maintain a slow, constant rate of turn. 2. Failing to maintain position over the reference point. 3. Failing to maintain rpm within normal range. 4. Failing to maintain constant altitude. 5. Failing to use the antitorque ... used to move a helicopter to a specific location, and it may begin from a stationary hover. During the maneuver, constant groundspeed, altitude, and heading should be maintained. Technique Before starting, pick out two references directly in front…

  Chapter 10: Advanced Flight Maneuvers

  Chapter Summary This chapter introduced basic flight maneuvers and the techniques to perform each of them. Common errors and why they happen were also described to help the pilot achieve a better understanding of the maneuver. Chapter 10: Advanced Flight ... Maneuvers The maneuvers presented in this chapter require more skill and understanding of the helicopter and the surrounding environment. When performing these maneuvers, a pilot is probably taking the helicopter to the edge of the safe operating envelope. Therefore…
