Passengers should be briefed and understand the proper use of seatbelts, doors, and headsets/intercom system. 2. The safe entry and exit paths (away from the tail rotor and within the pilot’s view). 3. If possible, remove front passenger flight controls and ensure all passenger personal items, such as cameras and mobile phones are secure. 4. For over water flights, the location and use of flotation gear and other survival equipment that are onboard. Pilot instructions should…

Figure 9-7] Begin the maneuver from a normal hovering height by applying forward pressure on the cyclic. As movement begins, return the cyclic toward the neutral position to maintain low groundspeed—no faster than a brisk walk. Throughout ... with the antitorque pedals, altitude with the collective, and the proper rpm with the throttle. To stop the forward movement, apply rearward cyclic pressure until the helicopter stops. As forward motion stops, return the cyclic to the neutral position…

operations, including passengers, be made aware of all possible hazards and instructed how those hazards can be avoided. Ramp Attendants and Aircraft Servicing Personnel These personnel should be instructed as to their specific duties and the proper method ... fulfilling them. In addition, the ramp attendant should be taught to: 1. Keep passengers and unauthorized persons out of the helicopter landing and takeoff area. 2. Brief passengers on the best way to approach and board a helicopter…

autorotation. The applicable Rotorcraft Flight Manual (RFM) should be consulted to determine the appropriate procedure(s) for safely entering an autorotation. This is vitally important since the procedure(s) for safely entering an autorotation may vary with specific makes and/or ... must understand the use of the collective for rotor rpm control during power off autorotations in a turn. Upward movement of the collective reduces the rpm and downward movement increases the rpm. Cyclic movement is primarily associated with attitude/airspeed control…
- Chapter 9: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Hovering—Sideward Flight › Technique
Begin the maneuver from a normal hovering height by applying cyclic toward the side in which the movement is desired. As the movement begins, return the cyclic toward the neutral position to maintain low groundspeed—no faster than a brisk ... points that help maintain a straight track over the ground while keeping a constant heading. To stop the sideward movement, apply cyclic pressure in the direction opposite to that of movement and hold it until the helicopter stops. As motion…

same time, there is some risk that lighter workloads could lead to complacency. Humans are characteristically poor monitors of automated systems. When asked to passively monitor an automated system for faults, abnormalities, or other infrequent events, humans perform poorly ... more reliable the system, the poorer the human performance. For example, the pilot only monitors a backup alert system, rather than the situation that the alert system is designed to safeguard. It is a paradox of automation that technically advanced…
