Fear of Landing

At approximately 30-40 feet agl, the spinning stopped and the helicopter appeared to stabilize for a brief moment before continuing a nose-low, forward descent into the grass north of Runway 28. Then he followed the installation procedure, including the mast nut torque application. As it descended it spun around 2-3 times.

Managing these elements requires continuous adjustments by the pilot to maintain stability and control. The elevator, situated on the horizontal tail surface, adjusts pitch, raising or lowering the nose for ascent or descent. Landing requires a controlled descent and approach to the runway, culminating in touchdown and deceleration.

This not only stops the descent, but actually starts the airplane climbing. Remember that torque will be created as power is applied; therefore, it will be necessary to use rudder pressure to keep the airplane straight as it settles onto the runway. This climbing during the roundout is known as ballooning. Good landings take practice!

What Is Aircraft Stability? Stability is the aircrafts tendency to maintain its attitude or orientation. This means that they have to be effective enough to counter the aircrafts inherent lateral stability. Lateral stability depends on the aircrafts design. What Materials Are Used in Ailerons?

Another advantage of the counter-rotating props is the elimination of torque roll. This is the tendency to dig in the left tip float during takeoff while countering engine torque. From the pilot’s seat it cruises near effortlessly and handles nimbly on land or water with a great combination of stability and modest control pressures.
