Chapter 23. Advanced Exercises
23.1. Single pirouette
While hovering tail-in/side-in/nose-in, execute a full 360 degree yaw, and resume hovering. Be
sure to practice both clockwise and counterclockwise pirouettes to avoid developing "handed-
ness".
23.2. Multiple slow pirouettes
These pirouettes should take about 16 seconds to complete a full 360 degree rotation. Try to
keep the helicopter stationary while performing the pirouettes. Be sure to practice both clock-
wise and counterclockwise pirouettes to avoid developing "handedness".
The slow pirouettes are particulary good for diagnosing your own orientation weaknesses be-
cause you will lose control of your slow pirouettes at your weakest orientations. You should
practice these weak orientations to improve them.
23.3. Pirouetting remote circles
This exercise should be performed at eye level, or slightly below.
There are four variations on this exercise:
a. Clockwise pirouetting remote clockwise circles
b. Counterclockwise pirouetting remote counterclockwise circles
c. Clockwise pirouetting remote counterclockwise circles
d. Counterclockwise pirouetting remote clockwise circles
The first two are easier because the pirouette goes with the travel direction, so they should be
mastered first.
For nonmicro helis, these should be done with about a 4 second pirouette in a 20-30 ft circle.
For micro helis, these should be done with about a 4 second pirouette in about a 10 ft circle.
When attempting this exercise, do not bank too much, because this increases the risk of hitting
the tail boom on the ground.
23.4. Pirouetting figure eights
There are four variations on this exercise:
a. Clockwise pirouetting easy figure eights
b. Clockwise pirouetting hard figure eights
c. Counterclockwise pirouetting easy figure eights
