Avoid tailwind conditions when conducting slope operations. 7. Remember that less lateral cyclic control is available due to the translating tendency of the tail rotor when the left skid or landing wheel is upslope. (This is true for counterclockwise rotor ... flow of fuel to the downslope tank could change the CG, resulting in a different amount of cyclic control application to obtain the same lateral result. 10. Do not allow the cyclic limits to be reached. If the cyclic control…

rotor must again compensate for the main rotor torque, which also demands compensation for the tail rotor thrust and translating tendency. The pedals must be adjusted from a powered flight antitorque trim setting to the opposite trim setting to compensate ... last 5 seconds of the maneuver. Common 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…

Trailing edge. The rearmost edge of an airfoil. Translating tendency. The tendency of the single-rotor helicopter to move laterally during hovering flight. Also called tail rotor drift. Translational lift. The additional lift obtained when entering forward flight ... between the gross weight and the basic empty weight. It includes the flight crew, usable fuel, drainable oil, if applicable, and payload. Variation. The angular difference between true north and magnetic north; indicated on charts by isogonic lines…
