How does one do it you ask? Unfortunately it takes practice and experience.

Ultimately in my opinion, the secret when it comes to hovering is to ANTICIPATE the movement before it actually happens.

In other words if you make a cyclic or for that matter a yaw pedal movement relax or reverse the movement slightly otherwise the attitude change will just get bigger.

Keep moving your eyes.

Calm down and stop (fix) one movement at a time.

Another way to describe fixating is to say: you look but you don t see .

I always tell students your brain is like a computer and your eyes are the medium of information you give the computer.

If you just stare at the horizon it s the only information your brain can interoperate but the more you look around the more information your computer can process and the more information there is to work with the calmer (less tense) a person gets.If you make an attitude change always fly the helicopter back to the hover attitude.

If we select a new specific attitude we ve got something to work with, but if we just pull back on the cyclic we don t know how much or how far to pull.

When starting to fly with all three controls for the first time and things go a bit pear shape don t try and fix everything at the same time because invariably you ll use the wrong control to stop a particular movement.

For example if we move forward we don t just RAISE the attitude, we select a slightly higher but SPECIFIC attitude.
