What is the recommended method for preventing problems during low G conditions?

The recommended method for preventing problems during low G conditions is to apply aft cyclic input to restore Gs. In low G situations, such as those encountered in certain flight maneuvers or turbulence, a helicopter is at risk of experiencing issues like mast bumping or loss of control.

Applying aft cyclic shifts the helicopter's center of gravity towards the back, which can help restore positive G forces on the airframe. This action increases the weight's effective load on the rotor system, allowing the rotor blades to regain a proper operating angle and enhancing the overall stability of the helicopter.

Other alternatives may not directly address the immediate need to counteract the effects of low G conditions. For instance, increasing throttle may not help in recovering from low G, as the issue is related to the helicopter's position and attitude rather than its engine power. Climbing to a higher altitude or reducing speed might be prudent in certain scenarios, but they do not specifically target the restoration of G forces either. Thus, aft cyclic input is the most effective method for mitigating low G condition risks.
