Cyclic Grip is used to adjust which of the following?

• A. Yaw
• B. Pitch and roll
• C. Collective
• D. Tail rotor speed

Answer: (B)

The cyclic grip controls the tilt of the rotor disk by varying blade pitch as each blade passes the rotor. This creates differential lift around the disk, tilting it and producing movement in the horizontal plane. Pushing the cyclic forward tilts the disk forward, making the helicopter move forward; pushing it left or right tilts the disk to roll in that direction. In short, cyclic grip adjusts pitch and roll. It does not change overall lift (that’s done by collective), nor does it control yaw (that’s managed by tail rotor thrust via pedals), nor directly set tail rotor speed.
