8.
Makes a smooth transition from the slope to a stabilized hover parallel to the slope.
9.
Properly moves away from the slope.
10. Maintains the specified heading throughout the operation, –10..
C. TASK: SURFACE TAXI
NOTE: This TASK applies to only helicopters equipped with wheel-type landing gear.
REFERENCES: AC 61-13; AIM, Helicopter Flight Manual.
Objective. To determine that the applicant:
1.
Exhibits knowledge of the elements related to surface taxiing.
2.
Surface taxies the helicopter from one point to another under headwind, crosswind, and tailwind conditions, with the landing gear in contact with the surface, avoiding conditions that might lead to loss of tail rotor/antitorque effectiveness.
3.
Properly uses cyclic, collective, and brakes to control speed while taxiing.
4.
Properly positions tailwheel, if applicable, locked or unlocked.
5.
Maintains RPM within normal limits.
6.
Maintains appropriate speed for existing conditions.
7.
Stops helicopter within 4 feet (1.2 meters) of a specified point.
8.
Maintains specified track within 4 feet (1.2 meters).
D. TASK: HOVER TAXI
REFERENCES: AC 61-13; AIM, Helicopter Flight Manual.
Objective. To determine that the applicant:
1.
Exhibits knowledge of the elements related to hover taxiing.
2.
Hover taxies over specified ground references, demonstrating forward, sideward, and rearward hovering and hovering turns.
3.
Maintains RPM within normal limits.
4.
Maintains specified ground track within 4 feet (1.2 meters) on straight legs.
5.
Maintains constant rate of turn at pivot points.
6.
Maintains position within 4 feet (1.2 meters) of each pivot point during turns.
7.
Makes 90°, 180°, and 360° pivoting turns, stopping within 10° of specified headings.
8.
Maintains recommended hovering altitude, –1/2 of that altitude within 10 feet (3 meters) of the surface, if above 10 feet, –5 feet (2 meters).
E. TASK: AIR TAXI
REFERENCES: AC 61-13; AIM, Helicopter Flight Manual.
Objective. To determine that the applicant:
1.
Exhibits knowledge of the elements related to air taxiing.
2.
Air taxies the helicopter from one point to another under headwind and crosswind conditions.
3.
Maintains RPM within normal limits.
4.
Selects a safe airspeed and altitude considering the possibility of an engine failure during taxi.
5.
Maintains desired track and groundspeed in headwind and crosswind conditions, avoiding conditions that might lead to loss of tail rotor/antitorque effectiveness.
6.
Maintains a specified altitude, –10 feet (3 meters).
V. AREA OF OPERATION: TAKEOFFS, LANDINGS, AND GO-AROUNDS
A. TASK: NORMAL AND CROSSWIND TAKEOFF AND CLIMB
REFERENCES: AC 61-13; Helicopter Flight Manual.
NOTE: If a calm wind weather condition exists, the applicant's knowledge of the crosswind elements shall be evaluated through oral testing; otherwise a crosswind takeoff and climb shall be demonstrated.
Objective. To determine that the applicant:
1.
Exhibits knowledge of the elements related to normal and crosswind takeoff and climb, including factors affecting performance, to include height/velocity information.
2.
Establishes a stationary position on the surface or a stabilized hover, prior to takeoff in headwind and crosswind conditions.
3.
Maintains RPM within normal limits.
4.
Accelerates to manufacturer’s recommended climb airspeed, –10 knots.
