R44 Maneuvers (5/18/2024) Flashcards
IV Hovering Maneuvers
A. Vertical Takeoff and Landing
- Clear the aircraft
- Slowly forward with the cyclic
- 40 knots start to pull back
- Target 60 knots
- At 300 feet, adjust to climb power
CROSSWIND - Above 40 feet, crab
- Below 40 feet, point nose down the runway
IV Hovering Maneuvers
B. Slope Operations
-
IV Hovering Maneuvers
D. Hover Taxi
- 5 foot hover
- Normal walking pace
Turns - A rate of 360 degrees in 15 seconds
IV Hovering Maneuvers
E. Air Taxi
-
V. Takeoffs, Landing, and Go Arounds
A. Normal/Crosswind Takeoff and Climb
- Start in a 5 foot hover
- Clear the aircraft
- Pre-takeoff checklist
- Slowly move cyclic forward
V. Takeoffs, Landing, and Go Arounds
B. Normal/Crosswind Descent and Approach
- Normal approach angle 10 degrees
- 60 knots through the descent
- Collective controls angle of the approach
- Cyclic controls the rate of closure
- Brisk walking pace
- 25-40 feet, lose of ETL, increase in collective
V. Takeoffs, Landing, and Go Arounds
C. Max Performance Takeoff and Climb
- 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
V. Takeoffs, Landing, and Go Arounds
D. Steep Approach
- 15 degree approach angle
- Right at 30 knots and 300 feet AGL
V. Takeoffs, Landing, and Go Arounds
F. Shallow Approach and Run on Landing
- 5 degree approach angle
- Arrive at landing point at or above ETL
- Pedals to maintain direction
V. Takeoffs, Landing, and Go Arounds
G. Go-around
-
VIII. Emergency Operations
A. Power Failure Hover
- Stabilized 3-5 foot hover
- Throttle, pedal, settle, pull
- Hold throttle in the detent
- Pull up on collective to cushion landing
- Once on the ground, lower collective
VIII. Emergency Operations
B. Power Failure at Altitude
- Immediately lower the collective
- Down, right, aft
- Pick a landing spot (into the wind)
- Run through emergency checks if there is time
- Maintain 70 knots
VIII. Emergency Operations
D. Settling with Power
