HI.XI.C.S2
SkillMaintain, prior to beginning the final approach segment, the recommended flight profile with altitude ±100 feet, airspeed, ±10 knots, heading ±5°, and maintains track.

- Chapter 9: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Approaches › Technique
Technique On final approach, at the recommended approach airspeed and at approximately 300 feet AGL, the helicopter should be on the correct ground track (or ground alignment) for the intended landing site, but the axis of the helicopter does ... have to be aligned until about 50-100 feet AGL to facilitate a controlled approach. [Figure 9-20] Just prior to reaching the desired approach angle, begin the approach by lowering the collective sufficiently to get the helicopter decelerating…
- Chapter 9: Techniques of Flight Instruction › Postflight Evaluation › First Solo Flight
First Solo Flight During the learner’s first solo flight, the instructor needs to be present to assist in answering questions or resolving any issues that arise during the flight. To ensure the solo flight is a positive, confidence-building ... experience for the learner, the flight instructor needs to consider time of day when scheduling the flight. Time of day is a factor in traffic congestion, possible winds, sun angles, and reflection. If possible, the flight instructor needs access…
- Chapter 10: Advanced Flight Maneuvers › Steep Approach › Technique
Technique On final approach, maintain track with the intended touchdown point and into the wind as much as possible at the recommended approach airspeed [Figure 10-4, position 1]. When intercepting an approach angle of 13° to 15°, begin ... approach by lowering the collective sufficiently to start the helicopter descending down the approach path and decelerating (position 2). Use the proper antitorque pedal for trim. Since this angle is steeper than a normal approach angle, reduce the collective more…

- Chapter 9: Techniques of Flight Instruction › Practical Flight Instructor Strategies
Practical Flight Instructor Strategies During all phases of flight training, instructors should remember that individuals learn through observing others; therefore, the instructor needs to model safe and professional behavior. The flight instructor should demonstrate good operational sense at all times ... Before the flight—discuss safety and the importance of a proper preflight and use of the checklist. ⦁ During flight—prioritize the tasks of aviating, navigating, and communicating. Instill importance of aircraft control, “see and avoid,” situational awareness, and workload management…
- Chapter 2: Aerodynamics of Flight › Sideward Flight
Sideward Flight In sideward flight, the tip-path plane is tilted in the direction that flight is desired. This tilts the total lift-thrust vector sideward. In this case, the vertical or lift component is still straight up and weight ... horizontal or thrust component now acts sideward with drag acting to the opposite side. [Figure 2-42] Sideward flight can be a very unstable condition due to the parasitic drag of the fuselage combined with the lack of horizontal stabilizer…
