Stage 1
(5 flight lessons / about 2 training days)

• Introduction to flying using vertical reference points on helipads and heliports
• 2,5 flight lessons landing on heliports using vertical reference points
• 2,5 flight lessons landing / lifting off exercises on heliports
• Ground instructions

Components of the practical flight exercises:

Hovering

1. Maintaining position within +/- 2 feet longitudinally and laterally above selected site.
2. Maintaining recommended hovering altitude within +/- 2 feet.
3. Maintaining specific heading +/- 10 degrees.
4. Vertical climb to 200 feet above ground, maintaining position and subsequent vertical descent.

Vertical landing from a hover

1. Landing with the aft right section of the skid within +/- 6 inches of target
2. Maintaining skid alignment within +/- 10 degrees.

Vertical take-off to a hover

1. Terminating in a hover while clearing the tail rotor.
2. Maintaining position within +/- 2 feet longitudinally and laterally above selected area.
3. Maintaining skid alignment within +/- 10 degrees.

For tail rotor reference manoeuvres students must demonstrate the ability to

1. Make 90°, 180°, 360° pivoting turns about the tail.
2. Maintain constant rate of turn.
3. Maintain tail rotor position within +/- 2 feet longitudinally and laterally above selected area.
4. Maintain recommended hovering altitude within +/- 2 feet.
