  Chapter 9: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Hovering › Common Errors

  Common Errors 1. Tenseness and slow reactions to movements of the helicopter. 2. Failure to allow for lag in cyclic and collective pitch, which leads to overcontrolling. It is very common for a student to get ahead of the helicopter…

  highest. As blade speed decreases nearer the center of the disk, downward velocity is less. Figure 2-19. Rotational relative wind. Resultant Relative Wind The resultant relative wind at a hover is rotational relative wind modified by induced flow. This ... inclined downward at some angle and opposite the effective flightpath of the airfoil, rather than the physical flightpath (rotational relative wind). The resultant relative wind also serves as the reference plane for development of lift, drag, and total aerodynamic force…

  Error Recovery Given that the occasional error is inevitable, it is a worthwhile exercise to practice recovering from commonly made errors, or those that pose serious consequences. All flight learners need to learn and practice a lost procedure to ensure ... which they have lost their way. It is useful to devote the same sort of preparation to other common learner errors. Learning from Error Error can be a valuable learning resource. Learners naturally make errors, which instructors can utilize…

  Pilots that have a system unable to calculate a temperature corrected DA or MDA will manually calculate an altitude correction for the MDA or DA. NOTE-Some systems apply temperature compensation only to those altitudes associated with an instrument approach ... passed the last altitude constraint associated with the active STAR. 2. Individual Segment(s) Method: Pilots are allowed to correct only the marked segment(s) indicated in the CTA list (https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/flight_info/aeronav/digital_products/dtpp/search/).

  Chapter 2: Aerodynamics of Flight › Airflow and Reactions in the Rotor Disk › Rotational Relative Wind (Tip-Path Plane)

  Airflow and Reactions in the Rotor Disk Relative Wind Knowledge of relative wind is essential for an understanding of aerodynamics and its practical flight application for the pilot. Relative wind is airflow relative to an airfoil. Movement of an airfoil ... through the air creates relative wind. Relative wind moves in a direction parallel to but opposite of the movement of the airfoil. [Figure 2-15] There are two parts to wind passing a rotor blade: • Horizontal part—caused…

  Common Errors 1. Failing to maintain proper rpm during the entire approach. 2. Improper use of the collective in controlling the angle of descent. 3. Failing to make antitorque pedal corrections to compensate for collective changes during the approach…
