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 and 91% for best comfort 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 in a TOT increase.
4-9. LOW SPEED MANEUVERING
Avoid maneuvers that exceed thrust capabilities of the tail rotor.
NOTE: Conditions where thrust limits may be approached are:
High density altitude, high gross weight, rapid pedal turns, and
placing the helicopter in a down wind condition. These conditions
may exceed the thrust capabilities 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; with a right crosswind, expect random
pitch and roll oscillations.
Observe altitude recommendations of Height Velocity Diagram (Fig.
5-4).
