  able to take off over the preselected departure path when it is not visible while sitting in the confined area. Figure 10-8. If the wind velocity is 10 knots or greater, expect updrafts on the windward side and downdrafts ... side of obstacles. Plan the approach with these factors in mind, but be ready to alter plans if the wind speed or direction changes. Approach A high reconnaissance should be completed before initiating the confined area approach. Start the approach…

  Chapter 10: Advanced Flight Maneuvers › Confined Area Operations

  Generally, takeoffs and landings should be made into the wind to obtain maximum airspeed with minimum groundspeed. The pilot should begin with as nearly accurate an altimeter setting as possible to determine the altitude. There are several things to consider ... when operating in confined areas. One of the most important is maintaining a clearance between the rotors and obstacles forming the confined area. The tail rotor deserves special consideration because, in some helicopters, it is not always visible from…

  barrier by a wide margin but with a dangerously low rpm and no power reserve. Always make the landing to a specific point and not to some general area. This point should be located well forward, away from the approach ... area. The more confined the area is, the more essential it is that the helicopter land precisely at a definite point. Keep this point in sight during the entire final approach. When flying a helicopter near obstacles, always consider…

  Chapter 13: Effective Aeronautical Decision-Making › Risk Management › Using the 3P Model to Form Good Safety Habits

  Model to Form Good Safety Habits As discussed in the Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge, the Perceive, Process, Perform (3P) model helps a pilot assess and manage risk effectively in the real world. [Figure 13-6] To use this ... model, the pilot will: • Perceive hazards • Process level of risk • Perform risk management Let’s put this to use through a common scenario, involving a common task, such as a confined area approach. As is often the case, the continuous…

  Chapter 7: Helicopter Performance › Performance Charts › Height/Velocity Diagram

  Performance Charts In developing performance charts, aircraft manufacturers make certain assumptions about the condition of the helicopter and the ability of the pilot. It is assumed that the helicopter is in good operating condition, calm wind, and the engine ... doing each of the required tasks correctly and at the appropriate times. Using these assumptions, the manufacturer develops performance data for the helicopter based on actual flight tests. However, they do not test the helicopter under each and every condition…

  Chapter 2: Airspace Classification, Operating Requirements, and Flight Restrictions › Restricted Areas

  Prohibited Areas Restricted Areas Warning areas Military operation areas (MOAs) Alert areas Controlled firing areas (CFAs) Prohibited Areas Prohibited areas contain airspace of defined dimensions within which the flight of aircraft is prohibited. Such areas are established for security ... other reasons associated with the national welfare. These areas are published in the Federal Register and are depicted on aeronautical charts. The area is charted as a “P” followed by a number (e.g., P-40). Examples of prohibited areas include…
