  nose-low. This situation requires the use of excessive power to initiate a climb. 2. Using excessive power combined with a level attitude, which causes a vertical climb, unless needed for obstructions and landing considerations. 3. Application of the collective ... that is too abrupt when departing the surface, causing rpm and heading control errors. Crosswind Considerations During Takeoffs If the takeoff is made during crosswind conditions, the helicopter is flown in a slip during the early stages of the maneuver…

  RPM Control Rotor rpm in low inertia rotor systems has been studied in simulator flight evaluations which indicate that the simultaneous application of aft cyclic, down collective, and alignment with the relative wind (trim) at a wide range of airspeeds ... basic discussion of the aerodynamics and control inputs for single rotor systems is in order here. Helicopter pilots must understand the use of the collective for rotor rpm control during power off autorotations in a turn. Upward movement…

  Maintain heading with antitorque pedals. When the weight of the helicopter is entirely resting on the landing gear, cease application of upward collective. When the helicopter has come to a complete stop, lower the collective pitch to the full-down ... landing. The collective must not be used to hold the helicopter off the surface, causing a blade stall. Low rotor rpm and ensuing blade stall can result in a total loss of rotor lift, allowing the helicopter to fall…
