Q

V. Takeoffs, Landing, and Go Arounds
C. Max Performance Takeoff and Climb

A
  • Check the MP limit chart
  • Clear the aircraft
  • Pre-takeoff checks
  • Maintain 40 knot attitude (approx. the same attitude as when the helicopter is light on the skids)
  • Increase collective to max power
  • At 50 feet of altitude, lower nose to 60 knots
  • As helicopter passes 55 knots, lower collective power
