Hovering Cockpit View
This hover is about 350' AGL (above ground level). Note the instrument readings. O airspeed, Torque at 55%,VS at O and nose slightly up. Noting by the instruments I am starting to drop slightly. Need to increase throttle to maintain this hover. Normally hovering is done only a few feet from the deck and is done at take off and just before touch down. Pratice high so you can allow for recovery time. Pratice from here reverse, left and right cyclic inputs. The best advise is to watch the horizon and objects outside of the helicopter to best know what control inputs you need to apply inside. Small constant adjustments rather than "Oh My Gosh" adjustments.
