Q

What torque settings should be used for ground taxi?

A
  • 27-30% for normal taxi.
  • Use of more than 30% may be required for high GWTs, and when on soft, rough, or sloping terrain.
  • Torque may be temporarily reduced to 22-24% with limited cyclic displacement to limit rotor down wash.

(Task 1034 — Perform Ground Taxi)

17

(Task 1038 — Perform Hovering Flight)

18
Q

When must additional power checks be performed?

A

(Task 1038 — Perform Hovering Flight)

19
Q

What ground speed is indicated by full deflection of the velocity vector?

A
