  range of airspeeds, including cruise airspeeds, is critical for all operations during the entry of an autorotation. The applicable Rotorcraft Flight Manual (RFM) should be consulted to determine the appropriate procedure(s) for safely entering an autorotation. This is vitally ... basic discussion of the aerodynamics and control inputs for single rotor systems is in order here. Helicopter pilots must understand the use of the collective for rotor rpm control during power off autorotations in a turn. Upward movement…

  then reset to compensate for the high power required for hovering flight. All of the above must be accomplished during the 23 seconds of the autorotation, and the quick, precise control inputs must be made in the last 5 seconds ... maneuver. Common Errors 1. Initiating recovery too late, which requires a rapid application of controls and results in overcontrolling. 2. Failure to obtain and maintain a level attitude near the surface. 3. Failure to coordinate throttle and collective pitch properly…

  collective is raised, the opposite antitorque pedal used in powered flight will be needed due to the friction within the transmission/drive train. Touch down in a level flight attitude. Control response with increased pitch angles will be slightly different than ... slowly), requiring larger control inputs to maintain heading at touchdown. Some helicopters, such as the Schweitzer 300, have a canted tail stabilizer. With a canted stabilizer, it is crucial that the pilot apply the appropriate pedal input at all times…

  cross-check. Fixations are likely during trim changes, attitude changes, gear and flap retractions, and power changes. Once an instrument or a control input is applied, continue the cross-check and note the effect during the next cross-check sequence ... Basic Instrument Flight Patterns Flight patterns are basic maneuvers, flown by sole reference to the instruments rather than outside visual clues, for the purpose of practicing basic attitude flying. The patterns simulate maneuvers encountered on instrument flights, such as holding…

After achieving a sufficient level of competence, the pilot is ready to apply this skill and maintain the airplane, not only at the correct attitude and power configuration, but also ... traffic patterns, survey, photographic, sight-seeing, aerial application (crop dusting), and various other flight profiles requiring specific flightpaths referenced to points on the surface. Ground reference maneuvers are the principal flight maneuvers that combine the four fundamentals (straight-and-level…

  knot limit. Practicing slow flight demonstrates the unique capability of LSAs. Recovery from power-off stalls involves lowering the nose. Application of power puts the airplane back flying. However, a pilot should understand that control pressures tend to be light ... power-on stalls. If aggressive pitch attitudes are coupled with uncoordinated rudder inputs, spin entry is likely to be quick and aggressive. Depending on the LSA design, especially those airplanes which use control tubes rather than wires and pulleys, flight…
