One-Pager — Area VII: Performance Maneuvers (Lesson 23)
Rapid deceleration / quick stop (L23)
Smooth and coordinated: aft cyclic to slow, lower collective to prevent ballooning, pedal to hold heading, then raise collective to arrest descent into a hover.
Governor/throttle holds RPM in the green throughout.
Hazards: tail strike (too much nose-up too low) and low RPM/ballooning (collective mismanagement). Conservative entry height/airspeed.
