maximum hovering altitude

[ebabil]

yes guys what is it?

how many meters/feets that i try to hover at i will die? when i try to land on platform, i cannot hver and starts instantly to sink for me.

the vortex ring is a killer!!

 

i noticed its a damn thin line on the collective between a gently descent and the vortex deathtrap.

 

its working for me when i control the collective position to keep it in the middle position. (deadzone 20)

then i gently lower the coll. to descent max.5ms. everything else ends up in the vortex. keep your vertical indicator always in your eyes.

 

in high mountains i try to keep over 5ms.

the rescue mission is a damn good practice!!

love that mission!

There is no simple answer, it depands on the helicopter weight, altitude and temperature:

 

 

This chart s from manual stated as a source for DCS: Huey, so should be adequate. You start from the bottom of the chart. Take your gross weight, let's say 8000 lbs, move to the right from that value, till you cross the diagonal line listed as "50 (OGE)" for skid height, from the point you cross it, move up to your temperature - let's assume it's +10°C - when you cross it, move left to your height - this is the highest you can hover, with this load and at that temperature. For our example its around 10600ft (3180m).

 

PS. Yeah... you don't need that bottom portion for HOGE, there's second gross weight scale at the bottom of the height-temperature diagram especialy for HOGE, but it won't hurt to do some extra work :D
