Manual (the BK 117's moves to the
limitations section once you go into
high density seating). If it's in the
latter, its requirements are
recommended, not mandatory. Another
is that it is not necessarily valid for
approaches, being calculated for
level flight conditions (see below).
Some helicopters, like the TwinStar,
sometimes don't have one at all. It's
importance, therefore is for takeoff,
although in some circumstances, it is
more dangerous to try to avoid the
curve, especially if you might only be
in it for a few seconds (as when
getting out of a confined area, for
example).
Anyhow, the vertical shaded area in
the diagram above is called the low
speed section, which is actually split in
two parts at the knee of the curve,
although it's never shown (the knee
is the furthest point at which the
curve extends). The lower portion is
for takeoff power (no intervention),
and the upper portion is for level
flight (cruise power, hand not
necessarily near the collective, so one
second allowed for intervention
time), and the whole area will
expand with Density Altitude. On
approach, you have your hands on
the controls and are using less than
cruise power, so the same figures
don't work.
The other shaded area is called the
high speed section, and the clear area
between them is the takeoff corridor.
Takeoffs and performance
calculations should definitely take
account of the curve, which is
constructed at maximum weight,
with no wind at a density altitude of
at least 7,000 feet. Those of lesser
quality must be verified (that is,
actually flown) by the relevant
Authority.
Going For a Job
Inexperienced pilots have a similar
problem to people in many other
walks of life - they cannot get a job
because they don't have the
experience, and they cannot get the
experience without a job. When
looking for work with hardly any
hours and a licence which is barely
dry, you are in a similar position to
asking your father for the keys to his
brand new Mercedes so you can go
to a party. You have to ask yourself
what characteristics you might have
that would make your father do such
a potentially stupid thing. Or that
might make passengers get into a
machine with you at the controls, for
that matter.
What would your father want to
know? That he will get his car back,
of course, undamaged, and with no
after effects, like traffic tickets.
Similarly, a Chief Pilot will need
reassurance that you are capable of
flying one of the company machines
without crashing it, upsetting the
customers and being the cause of a
subsequent visit from your local
friendly Operations Inspector. In
this respect flying ability counts for
only a small portion of the qualities
required - it's the remainder that
need to be emphasised when doing
the rounds at such a disadvantage.
OK, so now imagine you're a Chief
Pilot - what would you like to see in
someone who walks into the office
with a resume in one hand and no
box of doughnuts in the other?
I would suggest a selection from the
following would be appropriate:
· A smile on your face
· A firm handshake
· Confidence
· Presentable appearance,
clothing and hairstyle - no
shaven heads or curly locks, and
especially no earrings.
· Clean vehicle
It's a fact that jobs have been offered
just on a person's appearance. I
know, because it happened to me,
and no-one even asked to look at my
logbook or licences.
However, in the normal course of
events, for low-timers, and anyone
else for that matter, visiting as many
134 The Helicopter Pilot’s Handbook
companies as possible is about the
only way to get yourself known. Just
sending a resume (see below) is not
good enough when they haven’t seen
you before
Believe it or not, someone with
relatively low experience and who
gets on with customers is actually in
a better position than somebody the
other way round, other things being
equal, as experience and flying
techniques can be taught –
personality can’t. Also, get to know
lots of people at the bottom levels,
because Chief Pilots very often ask
the guys on the shop floor if they
know anyone when there’s a vacancy
and, if you are recommended, there’s
less chance of personality conflicts
