What is the maximum recommended hoist cable angle for a safe extraction using a rescue strop?  ANSWER 15 degrees 3. During a helicopter approach to a pinnacle landing site, what wind direction is preferred?  ANSWER Into the wind, slightly from the left (for main rotor torque effects) 4. What is the purpose of the "ground resonance" check in a helicopter?  ANSWER To ensure landing gear and rotor system are free from damaging vibrations before takeoff 5.

What does the term "hover-out-of-ground-effect" (HOGE) refer to?  ANSWER Hovering above one rotor diameter from the surface, requiring more power 7. What is the primary hazard of dynamic rollover during hoisting operations?  ANSWER The helicopter pivots around a skid or wheel on the ground, leading to a rollover 8.
