  landing area, approach and departure axes, and obstacles for both the approach and departure. The pilot should also give particular consideration to forced landing areas in case of an emergency. Altitude, airspeed, and flight pattern for a high reconnaissance ... governed by wind and terrain features. It is important to strike a balance between a reconnaissance conducted too high and one too low. It should not be flown so low that a pilot must divide attention between studying the area…

  Chapter 12: Weather Theory › Wind and Currents › Wind Patterns

  Wind Patterns In the Northern Hemisphere, the flow of air from areas of high to low pressure is deflected to the right and produces a clockwise circulation around an area of high pressure. This is known as anticyclonic circulation ... opposite is true of low-pressure areas; the air flows toward a low and is deflected to create a counterclockwise or cyclonic circulation. [Figure 12-10] High-pressure systems are generally areas of dry, descending air. Good weather is typically…

  pilot can note headings and time and make adjustments in heading, GS, and time. Filing a VFR Flight Plan Filing a flight plan is not required by regulations; however, it is a good operating practice since the information contained ... flight plan can be used in search and rescue in the event of an emergency.

  perhaps a reserve of 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 ... ensure tail rotor clearance of all obstructions. After coming to a hover, avoid turning the tail into obstructions. Takeoff A confined area takeoff is considered an altitude over airspeed maneuver where altitude gain is more important to airspeed gain. Before…
