4 -8. CRUISE
Trim - use proper trimming procedures described for climbout.
Above 50 knots, and 50 foot altitude above terrain, select N
2
between
90 an d 91% for best c omfort level.
Use alternate air and engine anti-ice for all operations in visible
moisture and temperatures at or below 5°C. Operation of anti-ice
will result inaTOT increase.
4 -9. LOW SPEED MANEUVERING
Avoid m aneuvers that exceed thrust capabilities of the tail rotor.
NOTE :
Con ditions where thrust limits may be approached are:
Hig h density altitude, high gross weight, rapid pedal turns, and
p lacing the helicopter inadown wind condition. These conditi ons
may exceed the thrust capabiliti es of the tail rotor.
Avoid any maneuvers that require full pedal.
Avoid extreme aircraft attitudes and maneuvers at low speed.
When hovering in a left crosswind of 10 knots or more, expect
random yaw oscillations; withar ight crosswind, expect random
pitch and roll oscillations.
Observe altitude recommendations of Height Velocity Diagram (Fig.
5-4).
