SECTION 9 -
SAFETY TIPS
General
This section provides miscellaneous suggestions and guidance to help the pilot
operate the helicopter more safely.
It is essential to warn the owner/operator about several risks that are too often
underestimated or neglected through force of habit and to provide with the experience
acquired by the whole family of pilots of light helicopters.
On the first pages are listed all the warnings that all pilots must constantly bear in mind.
A helicopter is, by its nature, a capricious and unstable machine which is subject to
both the laws of the air and of physics. Furthermore, its mechanical components
comprise a total chain which is both complex and precise. A helicopter requires care
and maintenance. Please study carefully the specific characteristics and the
recommendations which follow.
Pilot airmanship
➢
Keep both hands on the controls especially when close to the ground (it is
prohibited to release the controls).
➢
Be attentive at all times and beware of overconfidence.
➢
Never fly if you are not feeling in perfect shape. In no case when you are
influenced by alcohol, lack of sleep or stress.
➢
There is a high danger if there is an obligation to fly, to perform demonstration
flights, or to fly from point A to point B.
➢
Do not perform risky or unusual manoeuvres.
➢
Do not perform low pass above friend’s home.
Mental faculties
Keep in mind that, in flight, we are not in our natural element. The analytical capacity
is reduced by unconscious stress and this becomes more severe in the event of
problems as we lose part of our faculties. We no longer notice factors which worsen
the situation and we easily accumulate errors. Accidents are always the consequence
of an accumulation of errors. In addition, our analytical capacity is reduced in flight.
Low-G avoidance
Never push the control stick forward to descend or to terminate a pull-up (as you
would in an airplane). This may produce a low-G (near weightless) condition which
may result in a mast bumping occurrence, causing fatal damage to the rotor mast.
