• Small – Creates a small circle.

Initial Altitude-
This sub-menu item allows you to adjust the altitude which you will start the
trainer. A low altitude will offer less time for you to make adjustments to your
landing, however, it is good to practice emergency autorotations at all altitudes.
There are three options available:
• Low – While a lower altitude offers less time for input, the inertia will have
less time to diminish as well.
• Medium – Allows for a mid-level autorotation.
• High – The helicopter will start at a higher altitude. Thus, the pilot will
have to compensate accordingly to ensure a safe autorotation landing.
Approach Position-
The Approach Position sub-menu allows you to adjust the initial location of
the heli, from right to left, with middle directly in front of the landing zone.
You may also choose Inverted from this sub-menu to practice maneuvering
the heli back to right side up before landing during an autorotation.
Crashes-
After a crash, RealFlight may automatically reset your aircraft for you, if so
desired. This option is on by default. If you would prefer to turn this option
off, select the Crashes menu item, then select the Automatically Reset
Aircraft. If a checkmark appears next to this menu item then this feature is
activated. If the checkmark does not appear, it is not active.
If Automatically Reset Aircraft is enabled, you can adjust how quickly the reset
happens. To adjust this delay, select the Crashes menu item followed by the
Reset Delay menu item. Four options will be available to you:
• None – No delay will be set. The aircraft will reset instantaneously.
• Short – The aircraft will reset approximately one second after it crashes.
• Medium – The aircraft will reset approximately three seconds after it
crashes.
• Long – The aircraft will reset approximately six seconds after it crashes.
