10-2 The purpose of conducting a high reconnaissance is to (5)
-determine direction and speed of the wind,
-suitability of the landing area,
-a touchdown point,
-approach and departure access,
-and obstacles for both the approach and departure.
10-2 A high reconnaissance should be flown at an altitude of ___ to ___ feet above the surface.
300 to 500 feet above the surface.
10-2 A ___ degree angle of observation generally allows the best estimate of the height of barriers, the presence of obstacles, the size of the area, and the slope of the terrain.
45°
10-2 What is a brownout or whiteout condition
the loss of the horizon reference due to snow or sand
10-2 When is a maximum performance takeoff is used
A maximum performance takeoff is used to climb at a steep angle to clear barriers in the flightpath. high obstacles
10-3 The more critical the conditions are, such as high-density altitudes, calm winds, and high gross weights, the _________ the angle of climb is.
shallower
10-3 In light or no wind conditions, it might be necessary to operate in the ___________ __ ______ _____of the height/velocity diagram during the beginning of this maneuver.
crosshatched or shaded areas
H.10-3 Before attempting a maximum performance takeoff you should (3)
-reposition the helicopter to the most downwind area to allow a longer takeoff climb,
-then bring the helicopter to a hover, and determine the excess power available by noting the difference between the power available and that required to hover.
-consider alternate routes in case the maneuver is not possible
10-5 Rapid Deceleration or Quick Stops should be performed between __ and _ feet at how many knots?
25 and 40
at 45 knots
H.10-5 A steep approach is one that is between __ and __degrees
13 and 15 degrees
H.10-6 A shallow approach is usually used when…
Insufficient power is present to do a steep approach. not enough to hover
10-7 The glide angle for a shallow approach is approximately _ __ _% degrees
3° to 5°
also used for IFR landings
10-8 A slope of _° is recommended maximum for training in most helicopters.
5°
10-9 In most helicopters with a counterclockwise rotor system, landings can be made on steeper slopes when holding the cyclic to the _____
right
10-9 When landing on slopes using left cyclic, some cyclic input must be used to overcome the translating tendency. True or false
True
10-10 For Pinnacle operations, the greater the winds are, the _______ the approach needs to be to avoid turbulent air and downdrafts.
steeper
