Side view collective Enstrom Helicopter F-28 F

This control right here is what we call the collective. Move this seat belt out of the way, we have a lock right down here that keeps this in place during flight. This is relatively simple. When we want to go up, we raise the collective, we want to go down, we push down. This collective, as we've mentioned before, increases the pitch on all the blades. As it increases the pitch, that increases lift. That's what makes you go up. You want to go down, you push it down, decreases the pitch, and the helicopter descends. Here on the end, we have the throttle this way for throttle on, this way for throttle off. So we're raising and lowering this collective, and we're also adjusting very slight, just very slight minute changes with the throttle to keep the RPM and the operating range.
