  Chapter 1: Introduction to the Helicopter › Controlling Flight › Throttle

  Throttle Helicopter rotors are designed to operate at a specific rpm. Figure 1-11. The throttle control mounted at the end of the collective control. The throttle controls the power produced by the engine, which is connected to the rotor ... engine power to keep the rotor rpm within allowable limits to produce enough lift for flight. In single-engine helicopters, if so equipped, the throttle control is typically a twist grip mounted on the collective control, but it can also…

  Chapter 11: Helicopter Emergencies and Hazards › VFR Flight into Instrument Meteorological Conditions

  simple procedural exit, and is unlike flight training by reference to while in Visual Meteorological Conditions (VMC). Most training helicopters are not equipped or certified to fly under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR). Therefore, General Aviation (GA) helicopter pilots ... have the benefit of flight in actual Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC) during their flight training. Helicopter pilots that encounter IIMC may experience physiological illusions which can lead to spatial disorientation and loss of aircraft control. Even with some instrument training…

  Chapter Summary This chapter introduced the basics of aerodynamic fundamentals and theory and how they relate to flying a helicopter. This chapter also explained how aerodynamics affect helicopter flight and how important it is for pilots to understand aerodynamic principles ... Force vectors in vertical autorotation descent. Figure 2-49. Blade regions in forward autorotation descent. Chapter 3: Helicopter Flight Controls There are three major controls in a helicopter that the pilot must use during flight. They are the collective pitch…

  expeditiously. Before initiating a 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 ... height/velocity diagram. Technique Refer to Figure 9-12 (position 1). Bring the helicopter to a hover and perform a hover and systems check, which includes power, balance, and flight controls prior to continuing flight. The power check should include…
