EXAMPLE:
Short Field Length = 240ft/73.2m, FWD obstacle Height = 100ft/30.5m
NOTE
:
Aft obstacle height must be known.
Determine IP HAT from Table 11-3.2 based on short field length.
IP HAT = 80ft/24.4m.
Determine TDP HAT from Table 11-3.3 based on obstacle height.
TDP HAT = 200ft/61.0m.
Determine Rearward Ground Distance from far edge of the helipad from
Table 11-3.3 = 600ft/182.9m.
Determine allowable weight limit from Heliport/Elevated Helipad WAT chart.
The pilot establishes a sight picture by climbing vertically to IP and continues
rearward climb until the far edge of the heliport is just above the sight plane
of the instrument panel glare shield at 130ft/39.6m HAT (Ref. Figure 11-3.15).
At the TDP, the pilot pitches the aircraft nose down to accelerate toward V
TOSS,
then reduces collective to prevent rotor droop and adjusts the power to the 2.5
minute OEI limit.
Climb out at V
TOSS
between 40 and 45 KIAS.
From variable 200ft/61m to 300ft/91.4m Segment I AGL, accelerate to V
Y
.
At COEI continue at V
Y
to achieve 1000ft/304.8m at the end of Segment II.
