Flying a helicopter is not the easiest of machines to master but through good helicopter flight training it will become second nature. Much like driving a bicycle. So how do we train to fly this incredible beasts. The (cheerful) response is "just one chunk at the same time!". By breaking down everything a chunk at a time, something that previously seemed impossible now seems possible. People steps each may be one thing that's so easy, something which may be completed.
Helicopter Reviews
Stage one: Once engines are running, you should apply collective, whilst simultaneously increasing throttle.
Stage two: Once the helicopter is light on skids, apply the necessary yaw in order to maintain position.
Stage three: As you enter a hover, maintain position with cyclic. Generally with anti-clockwise rotors, you need to apply left yaw and cyclic.
Stage four: To take off, apply more collective until you are about 5ft over the ground.
Stage five: Apply significant amount of collective and throttle whilst also pushing forward cyclic.
Stage six: Maintain height until you reach a good airspeed
Stage seven: Ease off the nosedown cyclic and the helicopter should start to rise. Use left and right cyclic to maintain heading.
Follow these 7 simple seven steps with a flight instructor, and get yourself off the ground.
