SLOW FLIGHT

AIM:         

To bring airspeed back to zero, allow some loss of altitude and recover to cruising speed.

CONSIDERATIONS:

• Gyro is controllable without forward airspeed. 
• It does not stall in this situation.
• A loss of height will occur unless strong wind exists.
• Always perform into wind
• Gyro is being operated 'behind the power curve", that is, full engine power will not overcome rotor created drag
• Stick movements are very small and should be minimised.
• Use rudder to maintain direction
