- Definição1
- A hovering turn is a maneuver performed at hovering altitude in which the nose of the helicopter is rotated either left or right while maintaining position over a reference point on the surface. The maneuver requires the coordination of all flight controls and demands precise control near the surface. You should maintain a constant altitude, rate of turn, and r.p.m.

- Contexto
- Left turns in helicopters with a counterclockwise rotating main rotor are more difficult to execute because the tail rotor demands more power. This requires that you compensate with additional collective pitch and increased throttle. You might want to refer to this graphic throughout the remainder of the discussion on a hovering turn to the left.
