  Chapter 10: Advanced Flight Maneuvers › Slope Operations › Technique

  Refer to Figure 10-6. At the termination of the approach, if necessary, move the helicopter slowly toward the slope, being careful not to turn the tail upslope. Position the helicopter across the slope at a stabilized hover headed into ... touches the ground, hesitate momentarily in a level attitude, then apply slight lateral cyclic in the direction of the slope (frame 2). This holds the skid against the slope while the pilot continues lowering the downslope skid with the collective…

  Chapter 10: Advanced Flight Maneuvers › Slope Operations

  Slope Operations Prior to conducting any slope operations, be thoroughly familiar with the characteristics of dynamic rollover and mast bumping, which are discussed in Chapter 11, Helicopter Emergencies and Hazards. The approach to a slope is similar to the approach ... other landing area. During slope operations, make allowances for wind, barriers, and forced landing sites in case of engine failure. Since the slope may constitute an obstruction to wind passage, anticipate turbulence and downdrafts. Slope Landing A pilot usually lands…

  helicopter. Failure to use proper antitorque pedal control, resulting in excessive heading change. 3. Failure to maintain desired hovering height. 4. Failure to maintain proper rpm. 5. Failure to maintain alignment with direction of travel. Hovering—Sideward Flight Sideward hovering ... flight may be necessary to move the helicopter to a specific area when conditions make it impossible to use forward flight. During the maneuver, a constant groundspeed, altitude, and heading should be maintained. Technique Before starting sideward hovering flight, ensure…

  Chapter 2: Aerodynamics of Flight › Hovering Flight

  Hovering Flight Hovering is the most challenging part of flying a helicopter. This is because a helicopter generates its own gusty air while in a hover, which acts against the fuselage and flight control surfaces. The end result is constant ... helicopter where it is required to be. Despite the complexity of the task, the control inputs in a hover are simple. The cyclic is used to eliminate drift in the horizontal plane, controlling forward, backward, right and left movement…

  first decision point is preflight in the flight planning room, where all the information is readily available to make a sound decision, and where communication and Fixed Base Operator (FBO) services are readily available to make alternate travel plans ... second easiest point in the flight to make a critical safety decision is just prior to takeoff. Few pilots have ever had to make an “emergency takeoff.” While the point of the 5P check is to help the pilot…

  Flight Instructors The flight instructor is an important link in a successful LSA transition. A transitioning pilot should choose a flight instructor that has verifiable experience in LSA instruction. The Sport Pilot rule allows for a Sport Pilot flight instructor ... might provide better instruction than a flight instructor-A who has minimal teaching experience in light-sport airplanes. A transitioning LSA pilot should have an opportunity to review the curriculum, syllabus, lesson plans, as well as the process for tracking…
