OBJECTIVES:
During this lesson, the student will review basic flight maneuvers and emergency operations in preparation for the Stage III flight check.


CONTENT:
Review-
Normal takeoff from a hover
Normal approach to a hover
Maximum performance takeoff and climb
Steep approach
High altitude takeoff and climb
Shallow approach and roll-on/running landings
Rapid decelerations 
Autorotative descents with power recovery
Hovering autorotation
Settling with power
Systems and equipment malfunctions
Partial power failure
Recovery from low rotor RPM
Power failure at altitude
Recognition and recovery from low G maneuvers
Pinnacle and confined area operations
Slope operations


COMPLETION STANDARDS:
1.	During takeoffs and climbs, the student will maintain rotor RPM within normal limits and demonstrate proper attitude and heading control correcting for a crosswind as appropriate.
2.	During approaches, proper angle; rate of closure and ground track will be demonstrated, correcting for a crosswind as appropriate and terminating within 3 feet of the designated point.
3.	During running landings, the student will make a smooth transition from descent to surface contact while still in translational lift, using less than hovering power, and beyond but within 50 feet of the designated point of touchdown.
4.	During rapid decelerations, the student will maintain RPM within normal limits, an altitude that permits safe clearance between the tail boom and the surface and heading throughout maneuver + 10 degrees.
5.	During slope operations, the student will properly move toward and away from the slope, maintain RPM within normal limits, make a smooth descent to touchdown and a smooth transition from the slope to a stabilized hover, all while maintaining heading +10 degrees.
6.	During simulated hazardous flight conditions, the student will demonstrate immediate recognition and recovery.
7.	During power failure at altitude, the student will maintain rotor RPM within the allowable limits by immediately lowering the collective.  He/she will establish an appropriate attitude, maintaining airspeed as necessary.  He/she will select a suitable landing area and maneuver so as to arrive at the selected area with skids level, with acceptable RPM, airspeed and descent rate. 
8.	During power failure at a hover, the student will maintain heading +10 degrees with minimum sideward movement and no rearward movement.
9.	The maneuvers will be performed to the PTS standards for the rating sought
