OGE maneuvers references are found in which document?

• A. Instrument T/O
• B. Sling Loads
• C. ATM Chapter 4
• D. Flight Manual

Answer: (C)

Out-of-ground-effect hover is a specific helicopter maneuver that requires different performance considerations than hovering in ground effect. The place these maneuver references and the associated procedures, limits, and evaluation criteria are standardized for training is the Aviation Training Manual, Chapter 4. This chapter is designed to consolidate the maneuvers pilots practice during training and the criteria used to assess them, making it the go-to source for OGE references.

The other options don’t fit because instrument takeoff focuses on instrument-rated procedures for takeoffs, not on OGE maneuver references; sling loads address external-load operations rather than general hover maneuvers; and the Flight Manual is aircraft-specific guidance on systems and limits, not the standardized training maneuvers and references used across training curricula.
