What held you back

Arrival Touchdown — Touched down at 1,593 fpm at 0 %, Sideways at touchdown 3.2 kt at 44 %, −10.06 points
Arrival Approach — 68 % of the approach descending fast with little airspeed at 0 %, Fastest descent 1,443 fpm at 46 %, −7.68 points
Departure Hover — Height held within 8 ft at 70 %, bank angle up to 7.4 ° at 90 %, −2.25 points

Next time

Departure

Hold the hover height with small, early collective movements, and add pedal as you change power so the nose stays put.

What happened: The hover after lift-off wandered 7.6 ft around its height, against 4 ft for a steady one.

Watch for: Height above the ground, steady within 4 ft.

See Departure Hover

Arrival

Keep forward airspeed until the descent is nearly stopped: reduce the rate of descent first, then let the speed come off.

What happened: For 68% of the approach the helicopter was slow and descending fast together, and it met the ground at 1,593 fpm. A slow, fast descent is hard to stop with collective, and a firm touchdown usually follows.

Watch for: Airspeed and vertical speed together: never low airspeed with a fast descent.

See Arrival ApproachArrival 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 flight was conducted in an Airbus H145.

Takeoff and initial climb are not described; the recording begins with the aircraft already in hover. The helicopter lifted into hover and held that position for 4.5 minutes, maintaining an average altitude of 6 ft above the spot while moving 454 ft over the ground.

The aircraft then accelerated from 8 kt to 61 kt, reaching an altitude of 277 ft above the spot in 19 seconds.

Level flight was established at 1,800 ft asl for 3 minutes, covering 5 nm, beginning overhead LEPP Pamplona Airport Pamplona.

Climb continued from 1,753 ft asl to 6,120 ft asl in 8 minutes, covering 9 nm, starting 1 mile west of Monreal.

A series of five short climbs, descents and level legs between 3,700 ft asl and 6,300 ft asl were flown over 8 minutes, covering 6 nm, from overhead Monreal to 1 mile south-west of Monreal.

The approach began at 491 ft above the landing spot with a speed of 26 kt. The aircraft slowed to 6 kt in 22 seconds, covering less than 1 nm.

Touchdown occurred with a vertical speed of 1,593 fpm and a ground speed of 6 kt. No bounce or go-around is mentioned.

The total flight distance was 19 nm, the elapsed time 22 minutes, and fuel consumption was 100 kg.
