Q
- What is the definition of LTE?
A
An uncommented rapid right yaw that does not subside of its own accord, and if not quickly reacted to will cause loss of aircraft control.
11
Q
- What is the Note for LTE?
A
Pilot must anticipate the variations, concentrate on flying the aircraft and not allow yaw rates to build
12
Q
- What are the wind regions
A
-
Weather cock
- (120-240 degrees) the aircraft will attempt to weathervane into the wind, causing a gradual left and right yaw rate.
-
Vortex ring state
- (210-330 degrees) Causing inboard vortices to develop on the tail rotor. The aircraft will have Pitch, Roll, and Yaw excursions, causing heading impossible to maintain and increasing pilot work load.
-
Disk vortex
- (280-330) Vortices caused by the main rotor are directed over the tail rotor at airspeeds between 10 – 30 knots. Aircraft will experience an uncommented rapid right yaw.
