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 ... altitude, and heading should be maintained. Technique Before starting sideward hovering flight, ensure the area for the hover is clear, especially at the tail rotor. Constantly monitor hover height and tail rotor clearance during all hovering maneuvers to prevent dynamic…

Throughout the maneuver, maintain constant groundspeed and ground track with the cyclic, a constant heading with the antitorque pedals, constant altitude with the collective, and the proper rpm with the throttle. To stop the rearward movement, apply forward cyclic ... 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 make sure the area is clear prior to starting the maneuver. Taxiing Taxiing refers…

Throughout the maneuver, maintain a desired groundspeed and ground track with the cyclic, a constant heading with antitorque pedals, the desired altitude with the collective, and proper operating rpm with the throttle. During a crosswind taxi, hold the cyclic into ... Failure to use proper antitorque pedal control, resulting in excessive heading change. 3. Failure to maintain desired altitude. 4.
