  vehicles, or personnel must be recognized by the pilot, and action should be taken as necessary to avoid such hazards. Taxi, hover taxi, and air taxi operations are considered to be ground movements. Helicopters conducting such operations are expected ... response to a pilot request. Preference should be given to this procedure whenever it is necessary to minimize effects of rotor downwash. 2. Pilots may request a hover taxi when slow forward movement is desired or when…

  time to plan (i.e., in an emergency situation), coupled with the stress involved in a perceived emergency can be hazardous. b. The pilot in the best position to assess the situation should take the responsibility of coordinating the airborne intercept ... involved. c. Some of the safety considerations are: 1. Area, direction and speed of the intercept; 2. Aerodynamic effects (i.e., rotorcraft downwash); 3. Minimum safe separation distances; 4. Communications requirements, lost communications procedures, coordination with ATC; 5. Suitability of diverting…

  TAXIING AND HOVERING

  hover taxi to the destination. However, due to power limits, local restrictions, noise, water spray, or creating a hazard to other vessels or people, it may be necessary to water taxi the helicopter. To taxi in water, maintain full rotor ... allow the helicopter to roll in the trough. In some instances, increasing collective can produce enough downwash to create a slight smoothing effect on windproduced waves. A ground swell can be dangerous to the tail rotor while the helicopter…
