Next time

Departure

Lower the nose no further than 15° and add a little collective as the speed builds.

What happened: The nose went down by up to 23° to accelerate, and the helicopter sank at up to 1,492 fpm. A steep nose-down attitude trades height for speed, and sink is what usually follows.

Watch for: Attitude: nose no lower than 15°; vertical speed level or climbing.

See Departure Transition

Arrival

Stop all movement over the ground in the hover before lowering the collective, and hold the spot with cyclic all the way down.

What happened: The helicopter was moving sideways at 11 kt when it touched down; full marks allow 1 kt.

Watch for: A fixed point on the ground beside you, not moving as you descend.

See Arrival Touchdown

As you slow through about 20 knots near the end, add collective to offset the loss of translational lift, together with the matching pedal. Keep some forward speed until you're close to the ground.

Flight narrative

The Airbus H145 performed a go-around 4 nm east of Heiligenblut, Kaernten, Austria at an altitude of 1,911 ft agl. The crew elected to abort the initial landing attempt and climbed back to the go-around altitude before re-establishing the approach.

Subsequent to the go-around, the aircraft entered the final approach phase 4 nm east of Heiligenblut, preparing for touchdown on the designated runway. The approach was conducted under light wind conditions.

During the descent the aircraft lost 1,947 ft agl, descending from 1,947 ft agl to 0 ft agl in a period of 46 seconds. The vertical profile was a steady reduction of altitude over the short interval.

Touchdown occurred 4 nm east of Heiligenblut, Kaernten, Austria with a ground speed of 51 kt, which was noted as excessively fast. The vertical speed at impact was minus 5,907 fpm, and the touchdown point was described as very long, using more than 50 % of the available runway. Local weather reported a temperature of 25 °C, wind 4 kt from 104°, a crosswind component of 4 kt and a headwind component of 1 kt.

In total the flight covered 4 nm, lasted 3 minutes, and consumed 27 kg of fuel.
