  Chapter 11: Helicopter Emergencies and Hazards › Autorotation › Technique (How to Practice)

  desired groundspeed—usually the lowest possible speed (position 4)—move the cyclic forward to place the helicopter in the proper attitude for landing. This action gives the student an idea of airframe attitude to avoid, because a pilot should never ... more nose-low than that attitude. Limiting the flare to that attitude may result in slightly faster touchdown speeds but will eliminate the possibility of tail rotor impact on level surfaces. The landing gear height at this time should…

  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 of obstacles…

  downwind leg closer or farther out, as appropriate. The pilot uses the autorotation entry airspeed recommended by the RFM. When abeam the intended touchdown point, the pilot smoothly reduces collective, then reduces power to the engine ... show a split between the rotor rpm and engine rpm and simultaneously applies appropriate anti-torque pedal and cyclic to maintain proper attitude/airspeed. Throughout the autorotation, the pilot should continually crosscheck the helicopter’s attitude, rotor rpm, airspeed, and verify…

  drifting tendency when determining landing direction. After the downslope skid is on the surface, reduce the collective to full down, and neutralize the cyclic and pedals (frame 4). Normal operating rpm should be maintained until the full weight ... takeoff in case the helicopter starts sliding down the slope. Use antitorque pedals as necessary throughout the landing for heading control. Before reducing the rpm, move the cyclic control as necessary to check that the helicopter is firmly…

  Chapter 11: Helicopter Emergencies and Hazards › Dynamic Rollover

  slope operations. Whatever the cause, dynamic rollover is possible if not using the proper corrective technique. Once started, dynamic rollover cannot be stopped by application of opposite cyclic control alone. For example, the right skid contacts an object ... rolling to the right. Even with full left cyclic applied, the main rotor thrust vector and its moment follows the aircraft as it continues rolling to the right. Quickly reducing collective pitch is the most effective way to stop dynamic…

  Chapter 9: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Taxiing › Technique

  increase the collective as necessary to stop descent at hover altitude (much like a quick stop maneuver (see page 10-4)). Common Errors 1. Improper use of cyclic. 2. Failure to use antitorque pedals for heading control. Common Errors ... Erratic movement of the cyclic, resulting in improper airspeed control and erratic movement over the surface. 2. Failure to use proper antitorque pedal control, resulting in excessive heading change. 3. Failure to maintain desired altitude. 4. Failure…
