Helicopter Test Questions and Answers
Latest Version Graded A+
What is the primary purpose of the cyclic control in a helicopter?


✔✔ To change the direction of flight




What happens when the collective pitch is increased?


✔✔ The helicopter gains altitude




Why is anti-torque control necessary in a helicopter?


✔✔ To counteract the torque effect from the main rotor




What is the primary function of the governor in a helicopter?


✔✔ To automatically adjust engine power to maintain rotor RPM




What aerodynamic principle allows a helicopter to generate lift?


✔✔ Bernoulli’s Principle and Newton’s Third Law




1

,What is the purpose of the tail rotor?


✔✔ To counteract the torque of the main rotor




What is translational lift?


✔✔ The increased lift experienced when transitioning from hover to forward flight




What happens during a vortex ring state?


✔✔ The helicopter descends into its own downwash, losing lift




What is autorotation?


✔✔ A descent where the main rotor turns without engine power




What causes retreating blade stall?


✔✔ The retreating blade loses lift due to excessive speed and low relative airflow




How do you recover from retreating blade stall?


✔✔ Reduce airspeed and decrease collective pitch




2

, What is effective translational lift (ETL)?


✔✔ The point where forward motion improves rotor efficiency and increases lift




What is the function of a swashplate?


✔✔ To transfer pilot control inputs to the rotating main rotor blades




What happens if the cyclic is pushed forward in level flight?


✔✔ The nose pitches down, and the helicopter accelerates




What does a low rotor RPM warning indicate?


✔✔ The main rotor speed is dangerously low and needs correction




What is ground resonance?


✔✔ A dangerous vibration caused by rotor imbalance on landing




What is the main limitation of helicopters in high-density altitude conditions?


✔✔ Reduced lift due to thinner air
