TAKEOFF
There are two different takeoff procedures when operating from clear area: a
dynamic takeoff manoeuvre (standard takeoff manoeuvre) which minimizes
the takeoff and the rejected takeoff distances and a less dynamic takeoff
manoeuvre (″soft″ takeoff manoeuvre) privileging the comfort of passengers
against a longer rejected takeoff distance.
The ″soft″ takeoff manoeuvre is applicable when the takeoff site presents at
least 400 m of runway clear of obstacles in front of the helicopter.
The ″soft″ takeoff manoeuvre is approved up to 3000 ft (914 m) Hd.
