  able to take off over the preselected departure path when it is not visible while sitting in the confined area. Figure 10-8. If the wind velocity is 10 knots or greater, expect updrafts on the windward side and downdrafts ... side of obstacles. Plan the approach with these factors in mind, but be ready to alter plans if the wind speed or direction changes. Approach A high reconnaissance should be completed before initiating the confined area approach. Start the approach…

  Generally, takeoffs and landings should be made into the wind to obtain maximum airspeed with minimum groundspeed. The pilot should begin with as nearly accurate an altimeter setting as possible to determine the altitude. There are several things to consider ... when operating in confined areas. One of the most important is maintaining a clearance between the rotors and obstacles forming the confined area. The tail rotor deserves special consideration because, in some helicopters, it is not always visible from…

  These instrument procedures may be designed to guide the helicopter to a specific landing area (Proceed Visually) or to a point-in-space with a “Proceed VFR” segment. 1. An approach to a specific landing area. This type of approach ... aligned to a missed approach point from which a landing can be accomplished with a maximum course change of 30 degrees. The visual segment from the MAP to the landing area is evaluated for obstacle hazards. These procedures are annotated…

  barrier by a wide margin but with a dangerously low rpm and no power reserve. Always make the landing to a specific point and not to some general area. This point should be located well forward, away from the approach ... area. The more confined the area is, the more essential it is that the helicopter land precisely at a definite point. Keep this point in sight during the entire final approach. When flying a helicopter near obstacles, always consider…
