  Chapter 10: Advanced Flight Maneuvers › Running/Rolling Takeoff

  Common Errors 1. Failure to consider performance data, including height-velocity diagram. 2. Nose too low initially causing horizontal flight rather than more vertical flight. 3. Failure to maintain maximum permissible rpm. 4. Abrupt control movements. 5. Failure to resume ... rolling takeoff in a wheeled helicopter is sometimes used when conditions of load and/or density altitude prevent a sustained hover at normal hovering height. For wheeled helicopters, a rolling takeoff is sometimes used to minimize the downwash created during…

  Chapter 7: Helicopter Performance › The Effect of Weight Versus Density Altitude › Hovering Performance

  Hovering Performance Helicopter performance revolves around whether or not the helicopter can be hovered. More power is required during the hover than in any other flight regime. Obstructions aside, if a hover can be maintained, a takeoff can be made ... especially with the additional benefit of translational lift. Hover charts are provided for in ground effect (IGE) hover and out of ground effect (OGE) hover under various conditions of gross weight, altitude, temperature, and power. The IGE hover ceiling…

  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 ... shaded areas of the height/velocity diagram. Technique Refer to Figure 9-12 (position 1). Bring the helicopter to a hover and perform a hover and systems check, which includes power, balance, and flight controls prior to continuing flight. The power…

  Hover height, rate of ascent, and the rate of descent are controlled by using the collective. Helicopter position and the direction of travel are controlled by the cyclic. After receiving the proper clearance and ensuring that the area is clear ... tilt begin, decrease the collective and determine the cause of the roll or tilt. Upon reaching the desired hover altitude, adjust the flight controls as necessary to maintain position over the intended hover area. Student pilots should be reminded that…

  operations: Two-way radio communications failure. (a) General. Unless otherwise authorized by ATC, each pilot who has two-way radio communications failure when operating under IFR shall comply with the rules of this section. (b) VFR conditions. If the failure ... occurs in VFR conditions, or if VFR conditions are encountered after the failure, each pilot shall continue the flight under VFR and land as soon as practicable.

  Section 4. Two-way Radio Communications Failure 6-4-1. Two-way Radio Communications Failure a. It is virtually impossible to provide regulations and procedures applicable to all possible situations associated with two-way radio communications failure. During ... radio communications failure, when confronted by a situation not covered in the regulation, pilots are expected to exercise good judgment in whatever action they elect to take. Should the situation so dictate they should not be reluctant…
