How can you recover from settling with power?

During the initial stage (when large amounts of power are available), a large application of collective pitch may arrest the descent. Otherwise, apply cyclic in any direction to gain airspeed and arrest the upward induced flow. If altitude permits, lower the collective.

Explain why the nose of the helicopter tends to pitch up when taking off:

Dyssemetry of lift- difference in lift between the advancing and retreating halves of the blades. Gyroscopic procession causes the action to take place 90 degrees later which makes it occur over the nose and the rear of the aircraft. Transverse flow- difference in lift between the forward and aft section of the rotor disc. Increased downward velocity causes increased drag and a decreased lift on the aft section of the rotor disc.

Describe what happens during settling with power?

Settling with power is a condition in which the helicopter settles in its own downwash. The helicopter normally produces vortices around the blade tips, however when the helicopter starts a near vertical descent, the upward flow of air creates vortices starting at the hub and moving outward as well. These vortices reduce the rotor disc surface area that is creating lift, eventually not producing enough lift to keep the helicopter from descending.

Describe retreating blade stall.

When the helicopter is in forward flight, forward speed of the helicopter decreases the relative velocity of the retreating half of the rotor disk. Because of the decrease in a velocity, a higher AOA is required to generate the same lift as the advancing side. In addition, there is a smaller area of the disk creating lift (due to the no lift areas) on the retreating side which places an even greater demand on that area to create the lift required. Eventually, the AOA becomes so high that it stalls.

Describe airflow during a hover IGE. OGE.

IGE - Air flows down through the rotor system and vortices are created at the rotor tips. Because of the close distance to the ground, the downward and outward flow of air tends to restrict vortex generation. In addition, due to the proximity to the ground, the induced flow velocity is reduced because the ground interrupts the airflow which increases AOA, reduces induced drag, allows for a more vertical lift vector, and increases rotor efficiency. OGE - Air flows down through the rotor system and vortices are created at the rotor tips. These vortices build much greater than during IGE hover because they are not being restricted by ground interference. In addition, induced flow velocity is higher than during IGE hover causing a decrease in AOA. This means that a higher pitch angle is required on the blades, so that creates more drag.
