What went well

Set down with no measurable descent — a soft arrival
No sideways movement at touchdown
Hover height held within 4 ft

What held you back

Arrival Touchdown — Sideways at touchdown 7.0 kt at 0 %, Forward at touchdown 13.2 kt at 45 %, −4.35 points
Arrival Approach — 45 % of the approach descending fast with little airspeed at 11 %, Fastest descent 1,185 fpm at 68 %, −2.42 points
Arrival Hover — Moved over the ground at 8.5 kt on average at 65 %, bank angle up to 10.9 ° at 65 %, −1.56 points

Next time

Departure

Ease the cyclic forward gently and add a little collective as the speed builds, so it accelerates without losing height.

What happened: Accelerating out of the hover, the helicopter sank at up to 151 fpm; full marks allow 100 fpm.

Watch for: Vertical speed: level or climbing as the airspeed comes up.

See Departure Transition

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 45% of the approach the helicopter was slow and descending fast at the same time; full marks allow 5%.

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

See Arrival Approach

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.

The flight is kept as it was recorded: it ends when the engine is shut down, so a landing with the rotors turning is a stop along the way, not a new flight.

Flight narrative

The Airbus H125 entered level cruise overhead Oberschleissheim, Bavaria, Germany, and sustained that altitude for a period of 3 minutes, during which it covered a distance of 3 nm.

Touchdown occurred 2 miles south-west of Garching bei München, Bavaria, Germany, with a speed of 26 kt, which was noted as excessively fast. The aircraft contacted the ground before the runway threshold at a firm rate of minus 365 fpm. Ambient conditions at the time were a temperature of 22 °C, wind from 253° at 15 kt, a crosswind component of 15 kt and a tailwind component of 4 kt.

Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to its parking position, a maneuver that required 10 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.

In total, the flight encompassed 3 nm, lasted 12 minutes, and consumed 21 kg of fuel.
