[lists] 0=&Pilot Briefing,Pilot Briefing 1=&Takeoff, Takeoff Checklist 2=&Cruise, Cruise Checklist 3=&Descent, Descent Checklist 4=&Landing, Landing Checklist [0] 0=Explain the role of the Garda Helicopter. 1=Ensure passengers are aware of the operation of seat belts. 2=Reassure passengers regarding tight orbits. 3=Ensure that all equipment is functioning correctly. [1] 0=Note a reference point on the horizon. 1=Smoothly increase collective to 70-75% torque (throttle). 2=While increasing collective, arrest any motion with the controls. 3=Lift off vertically using smooth, small control inputs (stick, pedals). 4=From hover, increase collective to 80% torque and apply forward cyclic. [2] 0=Establish level flight. 1=Set for nominal cruise power to 80% torque(throttle). 2=Use the tail rotor to coordinate turns. [3] 0=Reduce torque roughly 10% by lowering the collective (throttle). 1=Establish a slight nose-down pitch attitude. 2=To level off, restore collective and pitch attitude to original cruise settings. [4] 0=Adjust pitch and power to attain a 10-degree descent angle at 52-60 knots. 1=As you approach the touchdown point decelerate by applying aft cyclic (stick). 2=During deceleration increase collective to reduce descent rate (throttle). 3=At 3 ft above the ground, establish a hover with 70-75% torque. 4=From the hover, lower collective slightly to touch down then fully drop collective.
