B) even greater rate of descent.

485. H746 CFI        RTC

During a flare autorotative descent and landing, additional right pedal is required to maintain heading after initial collective pitch is applied. This action is necessary because of

B) the reduction in rotor RPM.

486. H746 CFI        RTC

When performing a touchdown autorotation, what action is most appropriate?

B) Skids should be in a longitudinally level attitude at touchdown.

487. H745 CFI        RTC

What action should be taken if the anti-torque system fails during forward flight?

B) Enter a normal autorotation by lowering the collective and rolling off the throttle.

488. H742 CFI        RTC

When making a slope landing, the cyclic pitch control should be used to

B) hold the upslope skid against the slope.

489. H744 CFI        RTC

During a pinnacle approach to a rooftop heliport under conditions of turbulence and high wind, the pilot should make a

C) steeper-than-normal approach, maintaining the desired angle of descent with collective applications.

490. H739 CFI        RTC

Which statement pertaining to rapid decelerations is most accurate?

B) The rotor RPM will normally tend to increase during the entry and tend to decrease during the completion of the maneuver.

491. H748 CFI        RTC

What are the major indications of an incipient retreating blade stall situation, in order of occurrence?

A) Low-frequency vibration, pitchup of the nose, and a tendency for the aircraft to roll.

492. H729 CFI        RTC

During a takeoff in a crosswind, which describes proper control technique?
