  uncommanded yaw is evident. Collective pitch reduction aids in arresting the yaw rate but may cause an excessive rate of descent. Any large, rapid increase in collective to prevent ground or obstacle contact may further increase the yaw rate…

  deceleration to a steady state attitude (which allows excessive airspeed loss in the descent). 4. Improper transition into the descent on entry. 5. Improper use of anti-torque on entry. 6. Failure to establish the appropriate crosswind correction, allowing ... flight through the tum. Failure to maintain rotor rpm within the RFM recommended range. 9. Excessive yaw when increasing collective to slow rate of descent during power recovery autorotations. 10. During power recovery autorotations, a delay in reapplying power…

  spread the landing loads equally to all of the landing gear. Extreme caution should be used to avoid an excessive nose high and tail low attitude below 10 feet. The helicopter must be close to the landing attitude to keep ... position 5). This collective application uses some of the kinetic energy in the rotor disk to help slow the descent rate of the helicopter. When the collective is raised, the opposite antitorque pedal used in powered flight will be needed…

  have some advantages over daytime approaches, as the air is generally smoother, and the disruptive effects of turbulence and excessive crosswinds are often absent. However, there are a few special considerations and techniques that apply to approaches at night ... good practice to make steeper approaches at night, increasing the probability of clearing obstacles.
