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.

This not only stops the descent, but actually starts the airplane climbing. By adding power, thrust can be increased to keep the airspeed from decelerating too rapidly and the wings from suddenly losing lift, but throttle must be closed immediately after touchdown. This climbing during the roundout is known as ballooning.

The elevator, situated on the horizontal tail surface, adjusts pitch, raising or lowering the nose for ascent or descent. Helicopter Controls Helicopter pilots utilize three main controls: the cyclic, collective, and anti-torque pedals. Helicopters use a cyclic, collective, and anti-torque pedals, requiring coordination for stability.

The rotational force thats needed to move an object about an axis is called torque. The simplest formula for torque is: Torque = F x L L is the distance between the object and the axis of rotation, also called the moment arm. The resulting loss of lift leads to a rapid descent by the aircraft. What Is Aileron Trim?

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. to accelerate out of slow conditions, so it’d be hard to inadvertently stall this thing.
