- 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 9: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Normal Takeoff from a Hover › Technique
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…
- Chapter 9: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Hovering › Technique
Hovering A stationary hover is a maneuver in which the helicopter is maintained in nearly motionless flight over a reference point at a constant altitude and on a constant heading. Technique To maintain a hover over a point, use sideview ... peripheral vision to look for small changes in the helicopter’s attitude and altitude. When these changes are noted, make the necessary control inputs before the helicopter starts to move from the point. To detect small variations in altitude…
- Chapter 3: Helicopter Flight Controls
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…
- 26 FLIGHT INSTRUCTORS OTHER THAN FLIGHT INSTRUCTORS WITH A SPORT PILOT RATING › 26.2 Flight Instructor Certificate With Rotorcraft Category and Helicopter Class Rating
Flight Instructor Certificate With Rotorcraft Category and Helicopter Class Rating For applicants applying for a flight instructor certificate with rotorcraft category and helicopter class rating, the applicant will be required to demonstrate touchdown autorotations (practical tests are conducted in accordance ... current flight instructor who meets the requirements of 14 CFR § 61.195(h)(2) with a rotorcraft category and helicopter class rating on their flight instructor certificate that provided the training and can attest to the applicant’s competence in these…
