  • Chapter 9: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Hovering—Rearward Flight › Technique

    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. Hovering—Rearward Flight Rearward hovering flight may be necessary to move the helicopter ... groundspeed, altitude, and heading. Due to the limited visibility behind a helicopter, it is important that the area behind the helicopter be cleared before beginning the maneuver. Use of ground personnel is recommended. Technique Before starting rearward hovering flight, pick…

    airspeed to increase toward normal climb speed. Then, follow a climb profile that takes the helicopter through the clear area of the height-velocity diagram (position 4). During practice maneuvers, after having climbed to an altitude of 50 feet, establish…

  • Chapter 10: Advanced Flight Maneuvers › Confined Area Operations › Takeoff

    power, is better than clearing a barrier by a wide margin but with a dangerously low rpm and no power reserve. Always make the landing to a specific point and not to some general area. This point should be located…

  • Chapter 9: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Normal Takeoff from a Hover › Technique

    helicopter systems are within normal limits. During the takeoff, fly a profile that avoids the cross-hatched or shaded areas of the height/velocity diagram. Technique Refer to Figure 9-12 (position 1). Bring the helicopter to a hover and perform ... extreme deviation from neutral. Flight controls must move freely, and the helicopter should respond normally. Then, visually clear the surrounding area. Start the helicopter moving by smoothly and slowly easing the cyclic forward (position 2). As the helicopter starts…
