- Chapter 11: Helicopter Emergencies and Hazards › Recovery Technique (Uncontrolled Right Yaw) › Governor or Fuel Control Failure
before responding to any type of mechanical failure, pilots should confirm that rotor rpm is not responding to flight control inputs. If the rotor rpm can be maintained in the green operating range, the failure is in the instrument…

plane. It is important that pilots experience autorotations from various airspeeds. This provides better understanding of the necessary flight control inputs to achieve the desired airspeed, rotor rpm and autorotation performance, such as the maximum glide or minimum descent airspeed…
- Chapter 2: Aeronautical Decision-Making › Automation › Results of the Study
flown EFIS for several years were required to fly various maneuvers manually, the aircraft parameters and flight control inputs clearly showed some erosion of flying skills. During normal maneuvers, such as turns to headings without a flight director, the EFIS…

required flight deck panels. Controllability. A measure of the response of an aircraft relative to the pilot’s flight control inputs. Controllable-pitch propeller (CPP). A type of propeller with blades that can be rotated around their long axis ... reversing without the need of changing the direction of shaft revolutions. Controlled airspace. An airspace of defined dimensions within which ATC service is provided to IFR and VFR flights in accordance with the airspace classification. It includes Class A, Class…

these actual systems use a multitude of sensors, from stabilized gyros to electromechanical actuators, which provide instantaneous inputs to all flight controls without pilot assistance. As with all SASs, they may be overridden or disconnected by the pilot ... Flight Control Systems (AFCS) and autopilots normally have a trim switch referred to as “beeper trim.” This switch is used when minor changes to the trim setting are desired. Stability augmentation systems reduce pilot workload by improving basic aircraft control…

change the rotor blade AOA. The pilot has little direct control over AOA except indirectly through the flight control input. Collective and cyclic feathering help to make these changes. Feathering is the rotation of the blade about its longitudinal axis…
