H2 Control helicopter in lift-off, hover and landing

 1.                     Unit description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to complete pre-take-off checks, lift-off helicopter to the hover, complete hover checks, perform hover, perform aborted lift-off, perform hovering turns and land from the hover.

 1.                     Elements and performance criteria
     1.               H2.1 – Lift-off and hover helicopter, perform hover checks and abort take-off
            1.        calculate aircraft performance for the flight;
            2.        complete pre-take-off checks;
            3.         lift-off helicopter:
                   1.          set flight controls correctly to prepare for lift-off to the hover at the location;
                   2.         use correct flight and power controls to lift helicopter off the surface to a stable hover at the appropriate hover height for the helicopter while controlling heading;
                   3.       anticipate and take account of wind effect with appropriate control inputs to maintain position over hover point;
                   4.       demonstrate awareness of rotor downwash on surrounding aircraft, people, objects and environment;
                   5.         confirm the proper functioning of the flight controls and the centre of gravity and power required to hover are within limits;
            4.        at a constant and safe hover height, commence, maintain and stop a hover taxi manoeuvre while maintaining power and RRPM within the limits;
            5.        remain clear of the manufacturer's 'height-velocity diagram avoid area' when applicable;
            6.          perform aborted take-off from the hover.
     2.               H2.2 – Hover helicopter in cross-wind and tailwind
