HOVERKeys to a stable hover?
Small anticipatory inputs; look well ahead, not down; tighter commercial tolerances.
TAXIHover taxi vs air taxi?
Hover taxi = IGE, slow, <~25 ft; air taxi = OGE, ~40 ft (AIM ceiling 100 ft) — verify OGE power.
CTRLCollective / cyclic / pedals?
Collective = power/height; cyclic = position; pedals = heading (antitorque).
SLOPESlope landing — which skid first?
Upslope skid; lower collective slowly, cyclic into the slope to keep the disc level.
SLOPEBank nears the slope limit?
Decisively lower collective and return to a hover — opposite cyclic alone won’t save it.
ROLLDynamic-rollover trigger near ground?
A skid/object contact + lateral cyclic past the critical angle — recovery is collective DOWN.
R44Wheel-taxi Task on R44?
N/A — the R44 is skid-equipped; use hover/air taxi.
