  incoming wind gained by horizontal movement of the aircraft or surface wind. As the incoming wind produced by aircraft movement or surface wind enters the rotor disk, turbulence and vortices are left behind and the flow of air becomes more…

  Glossary

  density of air decreases with altitude above the surface of the earth and with increasing temperature. Aircraft pitch. The movement of the aircraft about its lateral, or pitch, axis. Movement of the cyclic forward or aft causes the nose ... helicopter to pitch up or down. Aircraft roll. The movement of the aircraft about its longitudinal axis. Movement of the cyclic right or left causes the helicopter to tilt in that direction. Airfoil. Any surface designed to obtain a useful…

  four-digit discrete codes ATC assigns to distinguish between aircraft. Trend. Immediate indication of the direction of aircraft movement, as shown on instruments. Tricycle gear. Landing gear employing a third wheel located on the nose of the aircraft. Trim…

  Begin the takeoff by getting the helicopter light on the skids (position 1). Pause and neutralize all aircraft movement. Slowly increase the collective and position the cyclic to lift off in a 40-knot attitude. This is approximately the same…

  Chapter 5: Aerodynamics of Flight › Axes of an Aircraft

  axis is “pitch,” and the motion about its vertical axis is “yaw.” Yaw is the left and right movement of the aircraft’s nose. The three motions of the conventional airplane (roll, pitch, and yaw) are controlled by three control ... these controls is explained in Chapter 6, Flight Controls. Other types of aircraft may utilize different methods of controlling the movements about the various axes. For example, weight-shift control aircraft control two axes (roll and pitch) using…

  Chapter 12: Night Operations › Night Flight › Collision Avoidance at Night

  Contrary to the 30-degree scan used to view the ground in the case of scanning for other aircraft, each movement in this case should not exceed 10 degrees, and each area should be observed for at least 1 second ... seconds in duration in each scan will help to detect the light and its movement. A pilot can determine another aircraft’s direction of flight by interpreting the position and anticollision lights, as previously described. When scanning, pilots should also…
