This is the forth training flight in a series following a student through his flight training from day 1 to checkride in an R22.
This flight continues to build on the basics from the first few flights – allowing the student to get a feel for the controls while covering approaches, patterns, hover work & radio calls. We also introduce air taxi and quick stop (otherwise known as a rapid deceleration) and discuss loss of tail rotor effectiveness (LTE).
Below the video are time-stamped notes/tips for the flight.
