  steep bank angle. Anticipating results from a particular maneuver or adjustment of a flight control is not good piloting technique. Instead pilots need to truly understand the capabilities of the helicopter under any and all circumstances and plan never…

  level flight. Most of the factors affecting hover and takeoff performance also affect climb performance. In addition, turbulent air, pilot techniques, and overall condition of the helicopter can cause climb performance to vary. A helicopter flown at the best rate…

  Chapter 10: Advanced Flight Maneuvers › Maximum Performance Takeoff

  Positioning the helicopter at the most downwind portion of the confined area gives the pilot the most distance to clear obstacles. Wind analysis also helps determine the route of takeoff. The prevailing wind can be altered by obstructions ... Also consider the wind velocity, temperature, density altitude, gross weight, center of gravity (CG) location, and other factors affecting pilot technique and the performance of the helicopter. To accomplish this type of takeoff safely, there must be enough power…

  Chapter 2: Aerodynamics of Flight › Newton’s Third Law of Motion › Weight

  under the right set of adverse circumstances, such as high-density altitude, turbulent air, high gross weight, and poor pilot technique, sufficient or excess power may not be available to maintain altitude and airspeed. Pilots must take all of these…

  Chapter 14: Airport Operations › Collision Avoidance › Scanning Techniques for Traffic Avoidance

  Training Operations Operators of pilot training programs are urged to adopt the following practices: • Pilots undergoing flight instruction at all levels should be requested to verbalize clearing procedures (call out “clear” left, right, above, or below) to instill and sustain ... including chandelles, lazy eights, stalls, slow flight, climbs, straight and level, spins, and other combination maneuvers. Scanning Techniques for Traffic Avoidance • Pilots must be aware of the limitations inherent in the visual scanning process. These limitations may include: • Reduced scan…
