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

    used to terminate practice autorotations at a point prior to actual touchdown. After the power recovery, a landing can be made or a go-around initiated. Technique (How to Practice) At approximately 3–15 feet landing gear height AGL, depending ... pitch application must be gradual to allow for engine response. Coordinate proper antitorque pedal pressure to maintain heading. When a landing is to be made following the power recovery, bring the helicopter to a hover and then descend…

  • Chapter 11: Helicopter Emergencies and Hazards › Autorotation › Common Errors

    Errors 1. Initiating recovery too late, which requires a rapid application of controls and results in overcontrolling. 2. Failure to obtain and maintain a level attitude near the surface. 3. Failure to coordinate throttle and collective pitch properly, which results ... either an engine overspeed or a loss of rotor rpm. 4. Failure to coordinate proper antitorque pedal with the increase in power. 5. Late engine power engagement causing excessive temperature or torque, or rpm drop. 6. Failure to go around…

  • Chapter 10: Advanced Flight Maneuvers › Steep Approach

    Common Errors 1. Initiating the maneuver by lowering the collective without aft cyclic pressure to maintain altitude. 2. Initially applying aft cyclic stick too rapidly, causing the helicopter to balloon (climb). 3. Failing to effectively control the rate of deceleration ... stop forward motion in a tail-low attitude. 5. Failing to maintain proper rotor rpm. 6. Waiting too long to apply collective pitch (power) during the recovery, resulting in an overtorque situation when collective pitch is applied rapidly. 7. Failing…

  • 14 CFR § 61.87 Solo requirements for student pilots.

    training for a multiengine airplane rating must receive and log flight training for the following maneuvers and procedures: (1) Proper flight preparation procedures, including preflight planning and preparation, powerplant operation, and aircraft systems; (2) Taxiing or surface operations, including runups ... from cruise to slow flight; (10) Stall entries from various flight attitudes and power combinations with recovery initiated at the first indication of a stall, and recovery from a full stall; (11) Emergency procedures and equipment malfunctions; (12) Ground reference…
