Enstrom Helicopter Ground School

What is translating tendency? It's the tendency of the helicopter to drift in the direction of tail rotor thrust. This is Kenny Keller, the creator of Helicopter Online Ground School and I wanted to give you this tip because everybody screws up the three T's in their checkrides. Translating tendency, transverse flow effect and effective translational lift. Now on your checkride, another thing the examiner is going to ask is how do we compensate for that? In this particular case we this is the instrument and the instruments rotor mast is rigged just slightly to the left to counteract that thrust of the tail rotor. So depending on which model of aircraft you're flying, whether you have a tail rotor on the left hand side or the right hand side, make and model manufacturers have different ways of compensating in this case for the instrument that's totally rotor mast to the left. So this is a little insight into what we're doing inside Helicopter Online Ground School. Lots of cool stuff. We're adding stuff all the time.
