  Integrated Flight Path Automation Systems Use of automation is an excellent risk control measure when flying in a variety of flight environments where the pilot has a high workload. For example, autopilots are often very useful during complex single-pilot ... manually within appropriate standards. Pilots should train and practice using automation under VFR with an appropriately qualified and knowledgeable flight instructor before attempting IFR flight.

  Takeoff A pinnacle takeoff is considered an airspeed over altitude maneuver which can be made from the ground or from a hover. Since pinnacles and ridgelines are generally higher than the immediate surrounding terrain, gaining airspeed on the takeoff ... more important than gaining altitude. As airspeed increases, the departure from the pinnacle becomes more rapid, and helicopter time in the avoid area of the height/velocity area decreases. [Figure 11-3] In addition to covering unfavorable terrain rapidly, a higher…
