Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Helicopter height–velocity diagram/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

The hazards of the low height/high speed section of the height velocity graph largely arise from the low nose attitude that high speed requires. Aircraft response rates (rather than pilot reaction time) may make it impossible to bring the nose up fast enough to prevent a high speed impact following engine failure. This is worth mentioning because if, when accelerating after take off, an excessively low nose attitude (and very high power)is used, the 'safe' region of the height velocity curve will no longer be valid. Even if height and speed are compliant, the very low nose attitude may make recovery impossible. It is essential to comply with the manufacturer's recommendations for transition into forward flight.
