6. Conclusion
Advice 1 : The main lesson drawn from the above analysis is :
Never wait to correct a sideslip – and particularly to the left –
when approaching for a standard landing (30-60 kt approach).
Use adequate pedal input without any hesitation.
If there is a known cross wind, and particularly from the right hand, pay even
more attention to keep the helicopter centerline aligned with the path and be
prepared to large pedals input.
Advice 2 : Never hesitate to apply full right pedal
to correct a yawing to the left before it gets faster.
Keep the pedal to its stop, until the rotation stops completely.
Advice 3 : When practicing spot-turns at low height above the ground,
always do it "on the power pedal"
– to the right in the Cabri G2 case.
Then raising the collective in case of problem will stop the spin.
Advice 4 : When aiming at a landing site close to helicopter IGE hover ceiling
above the power transition (3800 ft ISA), pay specific attention to smooth
piloting to prevent reaching 100% FLO and thus possible rotor speed decay.
Note that the recovery process consists in lowering slightly the collective, thus
increasing sink rate before recovering the rotor speed.
Following these simple advices will prove the Fenestron the most predictable
and responsive anti-torque device.
