- Attitude Flying
- Basic Hovering
- Takeoff to a Hover
- Landing from a Hover
- Slope Takeoffs
- Slope Landings

Emergency Procedures
These are general procedures dealing with emergency situations. Every helicopter is different, and the pilot needs to understand the exact emergency method recommended by the helicopter manufacturer in the appropriate POH. These descriptions are meant to deal with emergencies in a generic way and should not be used in a particular model of helicopter.
