Hovering – Turns, Pendulum Effect, Sideways, Backwards & Tips – Helicopter Flight Maneuvers

This is a reference video of unedited footage from inside the cockpit during hover taxi, pedal turns, sideways and backward hovering, in an R22 helicopter. Also some tips on pendulum effect, how to hold controls & where to look when hovering.

This video was produced for a presentation to aviation students at COCC. I thought the video may be useful to others, but In time these videos will be replaced by a more comprehensive instructional videos with key points, common errors and the PTS requirements.

Thanks to Jeff, Keaton & Cooper
