OBJECTIVES:
During this lesson, the student will be introduced to more advanced takeoffs and approaches.


CONTENT:
Review-
Normal takeoff from a hover
Normal approach to a hover
Traffic pattern procedures
Autorotative descents with power recovery
Hovering autorotation
Recognition and recovery from low rotor RPM
Rapid Decelerations
High altitude roll-on/running landings
Slope operations

Introduction-
High altitude takeoff and climb


COMPLETION STANDARDS:
The student will gain an understanding of what conditions necessitate more advanced takeoffs and approaches.  During autorotative descents, the student will maintain recommended autorotational airspeed and rotor RPM within the green range.  Directional control during simulated power failure at a hover will be within 30 degrees and proper drift control will be exercised.  The student will be able to recognize and recover from a low RPM situation prior to the RPM decaying below lower RPM red line.
