The specific airspeed for autorotations is established for each type of helicopter on the basis of average weather and wind conditions and normal loading. When the helicopter is operated with heavy loads in high density altitude or gusty wind conditions, best performance is achieved from a slightly increased airspeed in the descent. For autorotations at low density altitude and light loading, best performance is achieved from a slight decrease in normal airspeed. Following this general procedure of fitting airspeed to existing conditions, you can achieve approximately the same glide angle in any set of circumstances and estimate the touchdown point. When making turns during an autorotation, generally use cyclic control only. Use of antitorque pedals to assist or speed the turn causes loss of airspeed and downward pitching of the nose. When an autorotation is initiated, sufficient antitorque pedal pressure should be used to maintain straight flight and prevent yawing. This pressure should not be changed to assist the turn. Use collective pitch control to manage rotor r.p.m. If rotor r.p.m. builds too high during an autorotation, raise the collective sufficiently to decrease r.p.m. back to the normal operating range. If the r.p.m. begins decreasing, you have to again lower the collective. Always keep the rotor r.p.m. within the established range for your helicopter. During a turn, rotor r.p.m. increases due to the increased back cyclic control pressure, which induces a greater airflow through the rotor system. The r.p.m. builds rapidly and can easily exceed the maximum limit if not controlled by use of collective. The tighter the turn and the heavier the gross weight, the higher the r.p.m. |
