OBJECTIVES:
This lesson will introduce the student to high altitude landings and off airport operations in confined areas and on pinnacles, and will stress the importance of performance planning and off airport operating procedures.  The student will gain an understanding of hazards associated with off airport operations.


CONTENT:
Oral discussion-
Weight and balance calculations and considerations
Performance planning

Review-
Settling with power
Recovery from low G condition
Simulated power failure at altitude
Recovery from low rotor RPM
Slope operations

Introduction-
Shallow approach and toll-on/running landings
Confined area and pinnacle operations


COMPLETION STANDARDS:
This lesson will be complete when the student demonstrates the ability to plan and execute a high and low reconnaissance.  He/she will be able to select suitable landing areas and gain an understanding of proper cycle control and dynamic rollover during slope operations.
