Altimeter : Set zero pressure altitude.
ADI : Adjust (if applicable) the pitch
bar to indicate zero.
NOTE
When taking off in windy conditions, set the ADI and the
baro-altimeter on ground allowing for the anticipated attitude and
altitude changes.
Collective and cyclic : Apply as necessary to obtain a
vertical rate of climb of 500
±100 fpm and simultaneously
initiate a slow backward flight
maintaining as visual reference
the far right hand corner of the
helipad.
NOTE
Use5-10degrees left yaw, if required, to maintain the visual
reference.
Takeoff path : At TDP 80 ft (25.4 m) (see
figure 2-8) select up to takeoff
power and rotate through 15
degrees nose down attitude
change simultaneously. When
the speed reaches V
2
reduce
nose down attitude and acceler-
ate up to V
Y
.
Landing gear : UP (by 200 ft AGL).
Parking brake : OFF.
RPM switch : Set 100%.
NR/N2 speed : 100% stabilized, check.
