- Chapter 7: Helicopter Performance › The Effect of Weight Versus Density Altitude › Hovering Performance
Hovering Performance Helicopter performance revolves around whether or not the helicopter can be hovered. More power is required during the hover than in any other flight regime. Obstructions aside, if a hover can be maintained, a takeoff can be made ... especially with the additional benefit of translational lift. Hover charts are provided for in ground effect (IGE) hover and out of ground effect (OGE) hover under various conditions of gross weight, altitude, temperature, and power. The IGE hover ceiling…
- Chapter 9: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Hovering—Sideward Flight › Technique
straight ground track, use two reference points in line and at some distance in front of the helicopter. Failure to use proper antitorque pedal control, resulting in excessive heading change. 3. Failure to maintain desired hovering height. 4. Failure ... 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…
- Chapter 9: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Hovering—Rearward Flight › Technique
Common Errors 1. Exaggerated movement of the cyclic, resulting in overcontrolling and erratic movement over the surface. 2. Failure to use proper antitorque pedal control, resulting in excessive heading change. 3. Failure to maintain desired hovering height. 4. Failure ... maintain proper rpm. 5. Failure to make sure the area is clear prior to starting the maneuver. Hovering—Rearward Flight Rearward hovering flight may be necessary to move the helicopter to a specific area when the situation is such that…
- Chapter 10: Teaching Practical Risk Management during Flight Instruction › Risk Management Training for Experienced Pilots › Risk Management during Operational Flights
Risk Management during Operational Flights Pilots who are already certificated conduct most of their flights without an instructor present. As an instructor, you should encourage them to practice effective risk management on all their flights. Realistically, pilots will not always ... follow the risk management procedures discussed in this chapter. Instructors should encourage pilots to scale their risk management procedures to match the complexity of the flight. For example, for a local flight, it is acceptable to use an abbreviated risk…
- Chapter 1: Risk Management and Single-Pilot Resource Management › Single-Pilot Resource Management (SRM)
Single-Pilot Resource Management (SRM) Single pilot resource management (SRM) is defined as the art and science of managing all the resources (both onboard the aircraft and from outside sources) available to a single pilot (prior to and during flight ... ensure the successful outcome of the flight. SRM includes the concepts of Aeronautical Decision-Making (ADM), Risk Management (RM), Task Management (TM), Automation Management (AM), Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) Awareness, and Situational Awareness (SA). SRM training helps the pilot…
- Chapter 10: Teaching Practical Risk Management during Flight Instruction › Managing Risk during Flight Instruction › Notes on Instructional Risk Management in the Flight Deck
Notes on Instructional Risk Management in the Flight Deck The instructor is involved with risk management on multiple levels, which include not only managing the risk of a particular phase of flight or maneuver, but also teaching risk management ... managing the risks of providing in-flight instruction. Some concepts an instructor should bear in mind while teaching most maneuvers include: ⦁ Identify relevant hazards systematically and keep track of hazards during maneuvering (the learner manipulating controls may be a significant…
