Torque is most noticeable when power is applied suddenly for example, during takeoff. The same way you would counteract any of the other left turning tendencies By applying right rudder pressure to keep the nose aligned with the runway. Lets take a quick look at all four of them: 1. How do you counter this left turning tendency?

The complication with helicopters is that the main rotor is driven by an engine that applies a twisting force (torque) to spin it. This is called torque reaction, and if its left unchecked, the helicopter fuselage will spin in the opposite direction of the main rotor. These rotors create equal and opposite torques that cancel out.

Pulling the prop back to 1,500 rpm (from its normal 1,700 rpm) reduces the noise level but does not change speed or fuel burn as the autothrottle adjusts torque.

There were no missing bolts, however, a few bolts were not torqued to specification. They talked about a return plan, returning to Runway 28L,” Blum said. Since the accident, the door plugs on other Boeings in service were inspected. According to the testimony, the pressurization issues were traced to a faulty microswitch.

My next idea was something I had learned as a relatively new pilot: a firm bounce on the runway using the main gear. This wasn’t a big city airport, so no foamed runway. The first bit of luck was a nice, smooth grass runway next to the paved one. That way, the prop might clear the runway entirely and be spared.

It shows the helicopter flying normally, aligned to the runway, and then begin a gentle climb. The pilot told the airport tower controller that he may need the runway. The controller asked the pilot to report when two miles out and to expect runway 28. It rotated several times before crashing into the grass north of runway 28.
