CHAPTER TITLE: Helicopter Attitude Instrument Flying
Below is a list of the figures (diagrams, charts, and pictures) from the IFH Chapter 8. They are listed in the order they are found in the Instrument Flying Handbook.
AUDIO RECORDING
FIGURE 8-1
A radial scan pattern of the flight instruments enables the helicopter pilot to fully comprehend the condition and direction of the helicopter.
FIGURE 8-2
The flight instruments for pitch control are the airspeed indicator, attitude indicator, altimeter, and vertical speed indicator.
FIGURE 8-3
The initial pitch correction at normal cruise is one bar width or less.
FIGURE 8-4
The flight instruments used for bank control are the attitude, heading, and turn indicators.
FIGURE 8-5
The banking scale at the top of the attitude indicator indicates varying degrees of bank. In this example, the helicopter is banked approximately 15° to the right.
FIGURE 8-6
Coordinated flight is indicated by centering of the ball.
