SECTION 10. WATER OPERATIONS
1 Water Taxi
The S-61R is constructed with a water-tight hull with 4 flotation compartments to allow it to land and operate on water. Water taxi is performed similarly to ground taxi: apply a small amount of collective to produce thrust, then apply forward cyclic to move forward. Use the anti-torque pedals to steer on water. The S-61R includes an internal wind system that affects its movement on water. By default the wind direction is random and changes direction on average about every 10 min (with some variation). Use the following commands to control the wind model:
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| wind dir' [speed] | Set wind to the compass direction dir. An optional speed parameter speed may be specified to set wind speed to between 0 and 3 m/s |
| wind random | Set wind direction to random. |
