Helicopter Maneuvers

Just as most airplane pilots are taught a certain set of maneuvers, most of which are required by the FAA Practical Test Standards, helicopter pilots have a set of maneuvers they are taught. These are broken down into normal and emergency maneuvers in this section.

Standard disclaimer: You should realize that these descriptions are not a replacement for flight instruction. If you read these, try to fly a helicopter, and crash, don’t blame me. Each manufacturer recommends different methods to deal with normal and emergency situations. These descriptions are generic, and do not apply to all aircraft.
