  takeoff, the pilot should ensure that the proper checklist has been completed and the helicopter systems are within normal limits. During the takeoff, fly a profile that avoids the cross-hatched or shaded areas of the height/velocity diagram. Technique Refer ... from neutral. Flight controls must move freely, and the helicopter should respond normally. Then, visually clear the surrounding area. Start the helicopter moving by smoothly and slowly easing the cyclic forward (position 2). As the helicopter starts to move forward…

Electrical energy stored in a battery provides a source of electrical power for starting the engine and a limited supply of electrical power for use in the event the alternator or generator fails. Most DC generators ... aircraft have receptacles to which an external ground power unit (GPU) may be connected to provide electrical energy for starting. These are very useful, especially during cold weather starting. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for engine starting using…
