  turning or pivoting motion. 5. Turning the tail of the helicopter into the slope during takeoff. Confined Area Operations A confined area is an area where the flight of the helicopter is limited in some direction by terrain ... woods, a city street, a road, a building roof, etc., can each be regarded as a confined area. The helicopter pilot has added responsibilities when conducting operations from a confined area that airplanes pilots do not. He or she assumes…

  coaching on final approach may cause missed radio transmissions from air traffic control or aircraft in the pattern. To avoid this, the instructor should only use concise prompting on approach to landings with the learner. Certain landings present unique risks ... instructor teaches the appropriate pre-landing reconnaissance for unfamiliar landing areas or uncontrolled fields. During landings in strong winds, the instructor should have the skill sufficient to deal with the wind conditions. During a short-field or confined area landing…

This point should be located well forward, away from the approach ... area. The more confined the area is, the more essential it is that the helicopter land precisely at a definite point. Keep this point in sight during the entire final approach. When flying a helicopter near obstacles, always consider…

A small amount of forward cyclic is helpful to stop the nose from continuing to the right and directs the aircraft forward and down to the surface.

When 500 feet AGL is attained, a right turn to parallel the takeoff path is made for the downwind ... Then, as the intended landing point is about 45 degrees behind the abeam position of the helicopter, a right turn is made, and a descent is begun from downwind altitude to approximately 300 feet AGL for a base…

Groundspeed during a pinnacle approach is more difficult to judge because visual references are farther away ... terrain. Pilots must continually perceive the apparent rate of closure by observing the apparent change in size of the landing zone features. Avoid the misperception of an increasing rate of closure to the landing site. The apparent rate of closure…
