Blade tracking is an adjustment to the main rotor blade pitch that must be accomplished during the initial test
flights.
Although the blade pitch angle in each blade may appear equal, it is still possible for a set of main rotor blades
to run “out of track,” making adjustment necessary.
Main rotor blades that are out of track with one another can cause vibration, instability and a loss of power due
to additional drag.
On the initial flight, it will be necessary to increase the blade speed to just before lift-off rpm and view the rotor
disc at eye level from a safe distance (approximately 15 to 20 feet (4.7 to 6 meters)).
Note which blade is running low (by colored tracking tape) and increase the pitch of the low blade one turn of
the ball link at a time until each blade runs in track (on the same plane).
Please refer to the diagrams on the following page to identify the different tracking situations, as well as
methods to mark each rotor blade for tracking identification.
