against it with the cyclic during the entire landing. A slope of 5° is recommended maximum for training in most helicopters. However, additional training to the manufacturer’s limitations may be required. Consult the Rotorcraft Flight Manual (RFM) or Pilot ... Operating Handbook (POH) for the specific limitations of the helicopter being flown. Be aware of any abnormal vibration or mast bumping that signals maximum cyclic deflection. If helicopter mast moment or slope limits are reached before the helicopter is firmly…

cargo are loaded or unloaded. 9. Be aware that if the helicopter utilizes interconnecting fuel lines that allow fuel to automatically transfer from one side of the helicopter to the other, the gravitational flow of fuel to the downslope tank ... reached. If the cyclic control limit is reached, further lowering of the collective may cause mast bumping. If this occurs, return to a hover and select a landing point with a lesser degree of slope. 11. During a takeoff from…

Dynamic rollover may also occur if you use an improper landing or takeoff technique or while performing slope operations. Whatever the cause, dynamic rollover is possible if not using the proper corrective technique. Once started, dynamic rollover cannot be stopped ... opposite cyclic control alone. For example, the right skid contacts an object and becomes the pivot point while the helicopter starts rolling to the right. Even with full left cyclic applied, the main rotor thrust vector and its moment follows…
