Translational Lift Effects: 

Procedure: From a stabilized in-ground-effect 

(IGE) Hover begin a forward acceleration. 
When passing through the effective 
translational lift range, the noticeable effect 
will be a possible nose pitch-up in some hel-
icopters, an increase in the rate of climb, 
and a temporary increase in vibration level 
(in some cases this vibration may be pro-
nounced). This effect is experienced again 
upon deceleration through the appropriate 
speed range. During deceleration, the pitch 
and rate of climb will have the reverse ef-
fect, but there will be a similar, temporary in-
crease in vibration level

Braking Dynamics:

..........................................................................................................................

Representations of the dynamics of brake failure (flight simulator pitch, side-loading, and direc-

tional control characteristics representative of the helicopter), including antiskid and decreased 
brake efficiency due to high brake temperatures (based on helicopter related data), sufficient 
to enable pilot identification of the problem and implementation of appropriate procedures.

Effects of Airframe and Engine Icing: Required only for those helicopters authorized for 

operations in known icing conditions

.

Procedure: With the simulator airborne, in a clean configuration, nominal altitude and cruise air-

speed, autopilot on and auto-throttles off, engine and airfoil anti-ice/de-ice systems deacti-
vated; activate icing conditions at a rate that allows monitoring of simulator and systems re-
sponse.

Icing recognition will include an increase in gross weight, airspeed decay, change in simulator 

pitch attitude, change in engine performance indications (other than due to airspeed changes), 
and change in data from pitot/static system, or rotor out-of-track/balance. Activate heating, 
anti-ice, or de-ice systems independently. Recognition will include proper effects of these sys-
tems, eventually returning the simulated helicopter to normal flight.
