It's a decent intro. I have a few sticking points, though. 1) Do NOT do rapid stick deflections with the rotor unloaded, as it is when on the ground and with the collective "on the floor". The flapping will get out of control, the rotor hub will hit the main rotor shaft (this is called mast-bumping), the shaft may break and the rotor will leave the aircraft. This applies to all 2-bladed teetering rotors, but is still not a good idea with articulated rotors. 2) There is no rudder on the Huey, nor is there on most helicopters. The pedals can be referred to as "anti-torque pedals" or simply "pedals." They control tailrotor pitch, which provides yaw authority. 3) Collective should not be confused with throttle. On smaller helicopters (S-300, for instance) the throttle must be managed manually, though it is generally mixed via a "correlator" with collective position. In the Huey, the engine is governed via main-rotor speed (Nr). Throttle WILL generally increase with increased collective and vice-versa, but they’re not the same thing. The throttle is a separate control that can be mapped to your joystick in DCS. 4) When you first lift off, you have to compensate for three things: Mainrotor torque, tailrotor thrust, and CG. As you increase collective, mainrotor torque increases. This must be countered by the tailrotor, via the pedals, providing a small-ish linear force about a large moment arm. This linear force will also try to pull the aircraft to the right, which you must counter with left stick/cyclic pitch. This tilts the rotor disk to the left slightly (but not the entire aircraft because of the teetering rotor). Additionally, longitudinal cyclic is required to compensate for longitudinal CG location. With weapons mounted on the hardpoints, you will find you need much more aft cyclic to compensate for the forward CG. 5) You should mention that when you are hovering a few feet above the ground there, you’re in ground effect, which means there is a “cushion of air” below the aircraft, slightly reducing the collective (and power) required to hover. This is actually a stable condition as far as altitude and vertical speed are concerned. As you drift up, the cushion weakens and you then begin to settle back down. As you drift down, the cushion strengthens and you drift back up. In ground effect (IGE), the collective actually works to command your altitude rather than your vertical speed, which is rather convenient when air-taxing. 6) When laterally displacing to the right, it’s worth mentioning that you will need left pedal to keep the nose pointed in the same direction. The aircraft will want to “weathervane” due to sideload on the vertical stabilizer and the fact that you’re putting the tailrotor in a climb condition. You need more tailrotor thrust to compensate. Conversely, left-sideward flight will require right (pro-torque) pedal. 7) I agree that flying the Huey without the trimmer is the way to go. I find that knowing where the stick is at all times really helps be understand what I'm asking the aircraft to do. I find that, when trimming, I get "lost" and I no longer have a feel for where I need to put the stick to do what I want. This issue can be solved with a stick with dampers and no springs, or some sort of active stick (FFB, for instance) 8) Vortex ring state, often called “settling with power,” is NOT a stall. It is a vertical descent condition for a rotor in which a large vortex ring forms around the rotor. Most of the air induced by the rotor disk then gets entrained in the upward flowing air around it and is then recycled back into the top of the rotor. There is little net change in momentum of the air and thus, very little thrust. Increased collective pitch simply works to strengthen the vortex ring. The best way to exit this condition is to enter forward or sideward flight, where a vortex ring cannot form. Vortex ring will only form with very low or zero translational velocity. 9) You will want to use pedals to coordinate the turn when in forward flight. Like in a fixed wing, you “step on the ball,” but unlike fixed wing aircraft, you don’t put it in while you make the lateral stick input. Establish the bank first and then coordinate the turn. 10) The Huey doesn’t want to kill you. I’ve found the best way to practice slow-speed IGE flight in the Huey is to set up a bunch of trucks at an airfield at various speeds and practice following them around forwards, backwards and sideways. Another thing to practice is the pirouette maneuver, where you circle an antenna or some other tall object, keeping your nose pointed at it the entire time. This puts you in a side flight condition and it really helps you get a feel for the pedals.

Some notes on that: 4) "This tilts the rotor disk to the left slightly " You probably worded this in a suboptimal way as I am sure you understand that the whole disk does not tilt relative to the aircraft. The swash plate creates different AOA for each blade along their path, and (combined with gyroscopic precession) this provides the desired maneuvering torque. Just pointing this out to avoid the common misunderstanding. (Although the disk will appear to tilt slightly due to reaction forces). 8) I believe vortex ring state can occur with zero indicated airspeed, including the instance where a helicopter is moving downwind at approximately the same velocity as the wind. This is an extreme case where a helicopter with noticeable translational velocity can experience vortex ring.

That was long, but I read all of it. I'm finally getting the hang of flying the Huey, so this is really good, distilled information.

In my year of flying the friendly skies of Vietnam and Laos I never used force trim to hover. The cyclic is in constant motion almost like mixing cake batter. If you use force trim you would be constantly fighting the trim. Same for level flight. You might get a few seconds that you don't have to move the cyclic with the force trim on in level flight but that's all. Nothing in my Army issued Huey operation manual about VRS. However this may be the same as settling with power. The only time you had to worry about that was when you had a sling load to drop off at high altitude such as a fire base on a mountain top. You have to come to hover and lower the load. If the DA was high better be careful.

Easy to get into VRS is an understatement. Just got the module and VRS is indeed the bane of me. Study and practice for me, and watching these vids!

Great video, but actually to avoid VRS you should try and keep your vertical decent speed 500 fmp or under. Typically the lower the better. Also, to get out of VRS the last thing you do is increase the collective. NEVER use collective. You leave the collective alone and use your cyclic to move the helicopter forward or laterally. Slipping out to the side is the preferred and safest method of escaping VRS. The goal is to get out of that cylinder of air that your blades keep recycling causing them to stall out. One thing you also never want to do is try and raise the nose once the stall is detected. (this is based on real world procedures. things might work different in the sim)

This is not always the safest thing to do because when you add collective, you increase the angle of attack (pitch) of the blades which in turn will sometimes increase the effect of VRS.

No, this is very bad practice as is it enormously difficult to spot whenever you enter VRS; it is much better practice to learn to use your cyclic (or stick) to get out of VRS. Whenever you start to experience loss of lift you have already been in VRS for a good couple of seconds. Raising collective at whichever state of (pre-)VRS only exacurbates the problem.

@Nanne118

6 жыл бұрын

Indeed, I think it might even be more than 50/50 chance, it nearly always increased the VRS symptoms as you start sucking in more recycled air. Powering up really is not the solution and I see people do it so much in DCS :(

I think your explanaiton of VRS was actually quite well done Cap; the identification that the problem stems from sucking in your own recycled air (that you have already expunged through your rotors) is key to understanding what is happening. Normally in flight you are experiencing this recycling too, but only at the very edges of your rotor (or your wing if in a jet / plane, thats also where the rolling overwing vapors come from). However in low-speed situations (ie descending vertically at a rapid pace or coming out of translational lift) this recycling air is sucked in at a larger volume, to the point where you loose lift due to you not pushing down air but only recycling it in a vortex: Vortex Ring State (VRS). It would like to caution against the advice of using more power to get out of (pre-) VRS, on the grounds that adding power nearly always only exacurbates the problem: you are going to suck in more of your recycled air and lose even more lift. Although adding power can sporadically be helpful to avoid VRS, it is very difficult to spot when VRS begins exactly: once you start loosing lift you have already been in VRS for a good amount of seconds and thus raising power (however fast / slow) will only make it worse, which is also why you crashed or were extremely lucky to be able to power out of it. It is an unreliable technique and I myself would not advertise it, but you might get lucky. The surefire way to get out of VRS is simply to input cyclic (or stick) to break apart the Vortex State; obtaining any movement speed will break apart the vortex of recycled air being sucked in to your rotors and will make you exit the VRS state. You can both accelerate forwards or sideslip out of VRS (as Victor Duran also mentioned). Please try to accomodate yourself into doing cyclic (or stick) and not collective (or throttle) to get out of VRS, as it will save you crashes over time if you wish to fly the helicopters more :)

It's actually more than just going through your prop wash. Your wingtip vortices start expanding and actually pushing down on the rotor from above, which is why increasing collective makes the issue worse. There's a brilliant video every aspiring helo pilot should see imo, it visualizes the issue very nicely: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ep6ZtLV9o9yTnqg.html

You are so professional in this game

Great tutorial and yes, one way to prevent the VRS to happen you can use collective but..... Rule No:1 If you end up in a VRS and start falling NEVER use collective to try get out of VRS. Once a VRS have started and you fall adding collective only increase the Vortex (VRS) effect and make you fall faster. To get out of a VRS you increase directional momentum forward or sideways out of the (vortex) VRS draft that way you get control back. Don't change the collective when a VRS started or during it's course, leave it where it is and quickly add forward momentum by put nose down or role movement sideways or combine them. A full VRS on low altitude how ever is very hard to regain control from before plummet to the ground and you need lightning reflex once a VRS start in low altitude or you're as good as toasted. Preferably is to prevent it to happen at all but to practice on higher altitude, cause a VRS to happen then try regain control repet until you have a good grasp of how to. Knowing how is what might save you from a crash and yes I said might save you.. :P CHEERS!

Flying a real helicopter is very much a seat of your pants experience. You have to listen and feel for what she is telling you. There are many methods for escaping Settling with power/VRS. If you try pulling power but your sink rate fails to slow or increases it is important to immediately lower collective and push forward to gain forward airspeed (the basic maneuver taught in flight school). Another method (arguably the preferred method for more experienced pilots) is to hold the current power setting (leave the collective alone) and sideslip out of the vortices before adjusting power as necessary to go around for another attempt. NEVER pull collective for power when in VRS. The main reason for this is the aerodynamic situation which you are in. Your main rotor is traveling through its own vortices and therefore unable to generate adequate lift. Adding collective, or increasing pitch angle increases the vortices, therefore increasing the problem. The only solution is to find "clean air" for the rotor to do its job. One thing to watch out for is transferring the problem to the tail rotor (chances are slim, but in the right wind conditions it could happen). These hazards have an increased risk of occurring if you are high, hot, and/or heavy (high altitude, hot ambient temperatures, or at or near maximum gross weight).

the best way I found to get out of VRS is if you are high enough, you can pitch forward and add a lot of collective and it will start moving forward again. it is like a plane you want to fly to the direction of the free fall to get out of it.

Going back to the KA50 after flying this for a year shows how easy the Ka50 is to fly.

Thanks for the great tutorial. This explains why I'm always slamming into the ground. The tip about setting the trim is also very helpful. I recently purchased the UH1H and 2 of its campaigns when it went on sale (less than 35). Does the settings of xy axis of a joystick also affect its maneuverability? What is the best settings for Huey? Mine is set at default, I believe it's at 0.

Does VRS = "Settling With Power" or "Vortex Ring State"? (these are two different aerodynamic phenomena specific to helicopters) As a "civilian only" helicopter pilot, I was taught "the rule of 3's" to avoid it - Vertical decent rates less than 300 fpm, Indicated Airspeed greater than 30 knots (until in ground effect). The "Left sidestep" maneuver to escape "settling with power" is called the Vuichard Technique/Maneuver and will work quicker/with less altitude loss than attempting to "fly out of it" (works for either VRS or SWP). Also, helicopters don't have a "rudder" and hence, no "rudder pedals" - The pedals are properly referred to as "anti-torque pedals", or simply, "Left Pedal", "Right Pedal" as needed to keep the nose pointed in the correct direction. kzread.info/dash/bejne/l5yKm9iFnqWvc6g.html

Vortex Ring State requires 3 regions of flight to achieve. 1, Low or Zero airspeed (Below Translational Lift speed0; 2, some power in use; 3, a modest rate of descent particular to that type of aircraft. In short the rate of descent flow starts to compete with the induced flow through the disk with the result of ultimately stalling the interior part of the disk whilst creating recirculation at the outer part of the disk which reduces the angle of attack and thus lift. The small middle area of the disk can still be producing lift but it is insufficient to hover and, at times, control the aircraft. However, increasing pitch on the blades, once established in VRS, will only exacerbate the situation with a probable reduction in rotor RPM and susequent coning of the disk. All of which just adds to the rate of descent and ensuing crash. The recommendation for getting out of it is to cyclically tilt the disk forward to get airspeed back and thus exit the conditions required for VRS. Obviously, this will result in a loss of height which, by this stage is already significant. Thus, low to the ground, it is a killer. An additional method may be to dump the collective which results in the potential to enter straight into autorotation or stops the induced flow aspect thus giving back control to pitch out and get airspeed. This, however, adds significantly to height loss. Your example seems to be entering VRS as you sink on the minor quick stop but thereafter I would suggest the ensuing crash is because you have fixed the power and thus no longer have enough to prevent a crash.

You can enter VRS in a steep descent under power. You do NOT have to be at "low airspeed". More forward airspeed means that you'd have a harder time entering it however, as the forward airspeed negates the turbulent return flow back to the disk. The easiest way to get VRS is to hover near buildings or other obstructions. Ask the pilot that flew the lead UH-60 into Abbottabad. That's how he ended up crashing - hovering near the wall and entering VRS.

What's your currently recommended joystick? My old thrustmaster is just too dodgy for smooth heli flight! :)

Not true, the Chinook can get out of it easily, with just pedal movement. Side-stepping into clean air ends the error state quickly. That's what you want, you want those blades grabbing clean air. You could think of this as "settling with insufficient power". Some people used to call it "settling under power" but that was both inaccurate and misleading. Also, you do NOT grab the collective and raise it when recovering from VRS. That is NOT what you are taught in RW flight school. Been there, done that, got the wings from Rucker.

This is the biggest problem I have: The stick. In a real Huey, there is no spring return to center, which is what 90% of control sticks you have in the market. When you're using a spring to center stick, you're fighting the Huey. So, I took my springs OUT completely. When you move the stick, it stays where you put it and the Huey flies like a champ. It takes a few tries to get out of the spring mindset, but once you get the hang of it, the Huey is a breeze to fly. I am taking off, hovering, moving about at will. And you will find you're hardly ever using the trim. There's no need. The only thing you have to be wary of is removing your hand from the stick. Go to active pause or hit escape to pause the game. Luckily mine has enough friction to stand upright when I balance it. It was a huge game changer.

In the real life, the VRS need three conditions to happen: 1. Speed below of 10 knots (or traslational speed- don't confuse with effectiveness traslational speed that go 12-24 knots). 2. Power between 20% and 100% (% of torque). 3. Descent bigger than 300 feet per minute.

What you are describing as VRS is actually the aircraft losing translational lift and requiring you to add more collective as all the lift being produced is from the rotor disk's downward thrust vice the transverse flow of air over your rotor disk by your forward airspeed causing the rotor disk to produce lift like a fixed wing aircraft. when losing translational lift, you can tell the change in flight regime by the slight vibration or buffeting of the huey at low airspeed. This is compounded with dropping airspeed while landing since you drop collective and pull up to kill off your speed while maintaining the same altitude. If you don't bring on the collective before you lose translational lift you lose a lot of altitude, and you may apply to much collective to halt your decent with an already high descent rate. Once there, you are at risk of VRS due to settling with power where you generate a torus of recirculating air that cancels out the lift of the outer portion of your rotor disk. It's kinda like being stuck in y our own wake turbulence.

@karlchilders5420

Adding collective is not going to save you in VRS... VRS happens when you descend into your own downwash and your blades can no longer 'grip' the air and provide lift. Additional collective increase will make that situation worse. Cyclic out of it, not collective
