How to control the helicopter? 

 

Today, in the presence of a certain amount of money, almost everyone, without the hassle and trouble can afford to buy a helicopter. Of course, it is not as cheap as say a car, but, nevertheless, in comparison with a number of sports car models, the price is not very different. However, the question arises here for sure and that how to become a helicopter pilot.

Private aviation schools for training pilots are no longer a rarity, and if necessary, everyone can independently not only learn the theoretical part, but also make a certain number of flights in order to successfully pass the required exam in the future. A number of people far from technology probably assume that flying a helicopter requires more work than, say, driving a car, however, on the other hand, if we take into account modern problems with roads, and also that the number of air vehicles in the air is not as large as cars. then it becomes clear that there are special problems with how to become a helicopter pilot should arise.

 

How to become a helicopter pilot?

 

To begin with, it is necessary to get acquainted with the basic elements of the helicopter control, but not so much, so you will probably be able to have the first time to remember them all, and will understand without any depressions in the subject, how to control the helicopter.

  1. Control handle - used to control the helicopter in pitch and roll. It also focused on the management of the vertical and horizontal component during the flight.
  2. Lever "Step-gas" - designed to control the angle of attack of the main rotor blades, thereby increasing or reducing the overall thrust.
  3. Pedals - intended to control the stabilizing screw helicopter.
  4. communication device management.
  5. Compass - used to guide the helicopter in the desired direction.
  6. Index opening and closing speed (vario) - used to determine the rate of ascent and descent of the helicopter.
  7. Artificial horizon indicator - displays information about the position of the helicopter in space
  8. Speed ​​indicator.
  9. Tachometer - displays information about the number of turns made by the engine of the helicopter (left) and the main screw (right).
  10. Altimeter - device used to indicate the altitude, also called an altimeter.
  11. intake manifold pressure gauge - for stock assessment capacity, such that it is necessary for the carriage of persons, cargo, etc.
  12. Signal transducers.
  13. The temperature sensor in the intake tract.
  14. Clock.
  15. Sensors Engine - serve to inform the pilot oil pressure, fuel level, etc.
  16. Office lighting devices.
  17. Switch actuator coupling - designed for take-off the helicopter, rather, for the transmission of torque from the engine to the main screw.
  18. Main switch - is designed to run the battery and power supply to all components of air machine.
  19. The ignition switch.
  20. Switch the helicopter cabin heating.
  21. Switch cab ventilation.
  22. Intercom device.
  23. Radio station.

As you can see on the example of helicopter Robinson R44, in terms of control systems is no big deal, however, to address the issue of how to control the helicopter, This is still not enough.

It is worth noting that if, while driving, we are mostly accustomed to direct our eyes closer to the horizon, in order to keep control exactly, in a helicopter, everything is different. Here, it is necessary to look as close as possible in front of you, as it allows you to take into account even the slightest fluctuations in altitude at the same take-off or landing. Nevertheless, newcomers are not advised to look directly in front of them, since even if they can catch minimum height fluctuations, then experience, unfortunately, with the control of the car will still not be enough, and it will not be professionally possible to put the helicopter professionally.

To fly a helicopter is required to learn how to use the three main elements - the control handle, pedals and "Step-gas." For example, in order to increase the speed required to submit the control knob away, but need to be adjusted rod with the lever "Step-gas", which in turn may also require correction auxiliary screw, i.e., control via pedals.

Of course, to find out all the information about the how to control the helicopter, Information alone is not enough, and therefore need a large number of hours of practice that you will be able to teach only in the flight school.
