- Chapter 10: Advanced Flight Maneuvers › Slope Operations
Slope Operations Prior to conducting any slope operations, be thoroughly familiar with the characteristics of dynamic rollover and mast bumping, which are discussed in Chapter 11, Helicopter Emergencies and Hazards. The approach to a slope is similar to the approach ... other landing area. During slope operations, make allowances for wind, barriers, and forced landing sites in case of engine failure. Since the slope may constitute an obstruction to wind passage, anticipate turbulence and downdrafts. Slope Landing A pilot usually lands…

Slope Takeoff A slope takeoff is basically the reverse of a slope…
- Chapter 11: Helicopter Emergencies and Hazards › Dynamic Rollover › Slope Takeoffs and Landings
Slope Takeoffs and Landings During slope operations, excessive application of cyclic control into the slope, together with excessive collective pitch control, can result in the downslope skid or landing wheel rising sufficiently to exceed lateral cyclic control limits…

wind is coming from the upslope direction, less lateral cyclic control is available. 6. Avoid tailwind conditions when conducting slope operations. 7. Remember that less lateral cyclic control is available due to the translating tendency of the tail rotor when ... 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 a slope, begin by leveling the main rotor disk with the horizon or very slightly…
