a. WORDS is a directive or interrogative call for further information or directives pertinent to a mission. WORDS are designated by ATO day, numbered sequentially and established and deleted individually. For example, WORDS AA01 (pronounced ALPHA ALPHA 0-1) wo...

Dissymmetry of Lift. There is a difference in lift between the advancing half of the rotor disk and the retreating half. In directional flight, the aircraft relative wind is added to the rotational relative wind on the advancing blade and subtracted on the ret...

Tail Rotor Considerations. Many pilots do not appreciate the effect that the tail rotor has onpower applied. The torque indicator displays power supplied by the engines to the entire drive train, not just the main rotor. As with collective changes, if you move...

Retreating Blade Stall. The speed of the airflow over the retreating blade (the blade moving away from the direction of flight) decreases as forward speed increases. The retreating blade, however, must produce an amount of lift equal to that of the advancing b...

Settling with Power. Settling with power can occur at any airspeed or altitude combinationwhenever power required exceeds power available. This condition is not to be confused with power settling or vortex ring state. Power Settling or Vortex Ring State. Powe...

Slope Operations. When the helicopter rests on a slope, the mast is nearly perpendicular to the inclined surface, while the plane of the main rotor must parallel the true horizon or tilt slightly up-slope (refer to the flight manual for specific slope operatio...

G-Loading. Load factor, expressed in Gravity (G) units, is the total load imposed on an aircraft, divided by the aircraft weight. Load factor during a turn varies with the angle of bank. Airspeed during a turn does not affect load factor, because for a given b...
