Torque is most noticeable when power is applied suddenly for example, during takeoff. The same way you would counteract any of the other left turning tendencies By applying right rudder pressure to keep the nose aligned with the runway. Lets take a quick look at all four of them: 1. How do you counter this left turning tendency?

It shows the helicopter flying normally, aligned to the runway, and then begin a gentle climb. The pilot told the airport tower controller that he may need the runway. The controller asked the pilot to report when two miles out and to expect runway 28. It rotated several times before crashing into the grass north of runway 28.

1) High Roundout Sometimes when the airplane appears to temporarily stop moving downward, the roundout has been made too rapidly and the airplane is flying level, too high above the runway. This would result in the airplane stalling and dropping hard onto the runway. Porpoising can also be caused by improper airspeed control.

At about 50 meters (165 feet) above the ground, the pilot turned left, planning to fly over the grass runway as the start of his routing. Reducing the lift and decreasing the torque effect helped to stabilize the helicopter. They crashed into a field east of the runway, breaking the skids off.

Helicopter Controls Helicopter pilots utilize three main controls: the cyclic, collective, and anti-torque pedals. Anti-torque pedals manage the tail rotor’s thrust, countering the main rotor’s torque to maintain directional control and stability. Why is helicopter flight control more challenging?

As soon as the weather gets right,’ because during the winter months down there, that runway gets soft. Once I knew the airplane inside and out, I just had to wait on the runway.” Photo via Johnny Mazza III “When I got to the end of the runway, I felt confident, but I literally went through everything three, four times.

More significantly, runway performance on landing isnt great. Landing a Cirrus on a 3000-foot runway is perfectly doable, but not if you land fast and long because the brakes will not save you from a bad approach. In fact, landing distance can sometimes be longer than takeoff distance, unusual for an airplane of this class.
