- Chapter 8: Helicopter Attitude Instrument Flying › Straight Descents (Constant Airspeed and Constant Rate) › Entry
Straight Descents (Constant Airspeed and Constant Rate) A descent may be performed at any normal airspeed the helicopter can attain, but the airspeed must be determined prior to entry. The technique is determined by the type of descent, a constant ... airspeed, or a constant rate. Entry If airspeed is higher than descending airspeed, and a constant airspeed descent is desired, reduce power to a descent power setting and maintain a constant altitude using cyclic pitch control. This slows the helicopter…

Procedures for Accommodation of Non-RVSM Aircraft a. General Policies for Accommodation of Non-RVSM Aircraft 1. The RVSM mandate calls for only RVSM authorized aircraft/operators to fly in designated RVSM airspace with limited exceptions. The policies detailed below ... intended exclusively for use by aircraft that the FAA has agreed to accommodate. They are not intended to provide other operators a means to circumvent the normal RVSM approval process. 2. If the operator is not authorized or the aircraft…

- Chapter 4: Approaches › Aircraft Approach Categories
Note: Helicopter pilots may use the Category A line of minimums provided the helicopter is operated at Category A airspeeds. An airplane is certified in only one approach category, and although a faster approach may require higher category minimums ... minimums of a slower approach category. The certified approach category is permanent and independent of the changing conditions of day-to-day operations. From a TERPS viewpoint, the importance of a pilot not operating an aircraft at a category line…

authorize a visual approach after advising all aircraft involved that other aircraft are conducting operations to the other runway. This may be accomplished through use of the ATIS. 1. When operating to parallel runways separated by less than ... feet, ATC will ensure approved separation is provided unless the succeeding aircraft reports sighting the preceding aircraft to the adjacent parallel and visual separation is applied. 2. When operating to parallel runways separated by at least 2,500 feet…
