  Chapter 9: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Normal Takeoff from a Hover › Technique

  Normal Takeoff from a Hover A normal takeoff from a hover is an orderly transition to forward flight and is executed to increase altitude safely and expeditiously. Before initiating a takeoff, the pilot should ensure that the proper checklist ... been completed and the helicopter systems are within normal limits. During the takeoff, fly a profile that avoids the cross-hatched or shaded areas of the height/velocity diagram. Technique Refer to Figure 9-12 (position 1). Bring the helicopter…

  Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Takeoff and Landing Performance

  landing performance is a condition of accelerated and decelerated motion. For instance, during takeoff an aircraft starts at zero speed and accelerates to the takeoff speed to become airborne. During landing, the aircraft touches down at the landing speed ... decelerates to zero speed. The important factors of takeoff or landing performance are: • The takeoff or landing speed is generally a function of the stall speed or minimum flying speed. • The rate of acceleration/deceleration during the takeoff or landing roll…

  Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Takeoff and Landing Performance › Takeoff Performance

  once hydroplaning starts, it can continue well below the minimum initial hydroplaning speed. On wet runways, directional control can be maximized by landing into the wind. Abrupt control inputs should be avoided. When the runway is wet, anticipate braking problems ... because it defines the runway requirements. The minimum takeoff distance is obtained by taking off at some minimum safe speed that allows sufficient margin above stall and provides satisfactory control and initial ROC. Generally, the lift-off speed is some…

  Chapter 11: Helicopter Emergencies and Hazards › System Malfunctions › Loss of Tail Rotor Effectiveness (LTE)

  catastrophic. LTE is an aerodynamic condition and is the result of a control margin deficiency in the tail rotor. It can affect all single-rotor helicopters that utilize a tail rotor. The design of main and tail rotor blades ... will not nullify the phenomenon entirely. Translational lift is obtained by any amount of clean air through the main rotor disk. Chapter 2, Aerodynamics of Flight, discusses translational lift with respect to the main rotor blade, explaining that the more…

  Chapter 11: Helicopter Emergencies and Hazards › Low Rotor RPM and Rotor Stall

  Other causes of a power-on low rotor rpm condition include the pilot rolling the throttle the wrong way in helicopters not equipped with a governor or a governor failure in helicopters so equipped. As the rpm decreases, the amount ... more difficult than it would otherwise be. With less power from the engine and less lift from the decaying rotor rpm, the helicopter will start to settle. If the pilot raises the collective to stop the settling, the situation will…

  center or pilot school curriculum, the FAA-approved procedures for that operator and/or training center/pilot school take precedence. V-Speeds The following are speeds that affect the jet airplane’s takeoff performance. The jet airplane pilot should understand ... these speeds when planning for takeoff. ⦁ VS —stalling speed or minimum steady flight speed at which the airplane is controllable. ⦁ V1 —critical engine failure speed or takeoff decision speed. It is the speed at which the pilot is to continue…
