What went well

No sideways movement at touchdown
Hover height held within 2 ft
No sink accelerating out of the hover

What held you back

Departure Transition — Sank at up to 522 fpm while accelerating away at 16 %, −3.75 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touched down at 490 fpm at 28 %, −2.41 points
Arrival Approach — 37 % of the approach descending fast with little airspeed at 29 %, Fastest descent 1,082 fpm at 77 %, −2.37 points

Next time

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 37% of the approach the helicopter was slow and descending fast together, and it met the ground at 490 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 push the cyclic forward, the rotor's lift tilts forward and less of it supports the helicopter. Until you reach effective translational lift, the helicopter will tend to sink, so add a little collective as the cyclic goes forward, and accelerate gently.

Flight narrative

The Airbus H145 taxied to runway 33 at LEPP Pamplona Airport and commenced the departure roll. The aircraft accelerated for a take-off distance of 149 m, representing 8 % of the runway, and lifted off at 16 kt. Ambient temperature at the airport was 27 °C.

Climb began immediately overhead LEPP Pamplona Airport, with the helicopter ascending from 1,558 ft asl to 2,601 ft asl. The altitude gain of 1,044 ft was achieved in 3 minutes while covering 5 nm.

The first level-cruise segment started 2 miles north east of Beriain and lasted 8 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 11 nm.

A second climb was initiated 1 mile south west of Monreal, raising the aircraft from 3,262 ft asl to 4,632 ft asl. The climb added 1,370 ft in 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.

The subsequent cruise segment also originated 1 mile south west of Monreal, persisted for 5 minutes and spanned less than 1 nm.

A go-around was executed overhead Burlata at 2,682 ft agl, with the aircraft climbing away before commencing a later approach.

The final approach to the landing ground was flown overhead Burlata, extending from 1 nm to 1 nm at an altitude of 317 ft agl.

Touchdown occurred overhead Burlata with a speed of 5 kt and a descent rate of minus 59 fpm. The aircraft landed before the runway threshold. Weather at the landing site reported a temperature of 26 °C, wind 4 kt from 250°, a 3 kt crosswind and a 3 kt headwind.

Overall, the flight covered 30nm, lasted 38 minutes and consumed 135 kg of fuel.
