when doing helicopter hovering manuvers the AMA descripton says to bring the helicopter up to eye level. then climb 2m

My question is what part of the helicopter do you bring up to eye level/ 2m ? The rotor disk? the center of gravity? or the bottom of the skids?

I'm pretty sure it's the skids.

Its a relative thing, you are being judged on keeping it at whatever altitude you establish.

Technically, it is the skids. Because of the safety factor, wanting the blades above the pilot and the judges.

But, as a judge I would knock off a point or so for significantly different from skids at eye level, but more points if you were not able to hold whatever the established 'beginning' of the hover is.

IRCHA had a list of manuevers that were categorized into 5-6 levels...i am unable to find that doc. Can someone show me where to find them?

http://www.ircha.org ?? though their web site leaves something to be desired

As Jack said. technically it is the skids to be at eye level and deductions or amount there of are relative to the judges. But generally speaking (due to the safety issue) you will be penalized more for being too low then for being too high.

thank you for the link.
