Next time

Arrival

Bring the helicopter to a stationary hover over the spot first, then set it down vertically.

What happened: The helicopter was moving forward at 17 kt at touchdown, against 5 kt for full marks.

Watch for: The ground ahead: no movement towards you before the skids touch.

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 enroute climb commenced one mile west of Sande in Lower Saxony, Germany. During this segment the aircraft rose from minus 7 ft above sea level to minus 233 ft above sea level, an altitude gain of 226 ft achieved in less than one minute while covering less than one nautical mile.

A go-around was executed on runway 10 at EDYA Brockzetel Airfield, with the aircraft at zero feet above ground level when the maneuver was initiated.

The subsequent landing was performed on runway 10 at EDYA Brockzetel Airfield, whose paved length is 1,080 m. The threshold height of 98 ft above ground level was significantly above the target, and the threshold speed of 29 kt was well below the target, requiring careful speed management to avoid a stall. Touchdown occurred 31 m down the runway at a speed of 19 kt; the vertical speed at touchdown was minus 1,679 fpm, indicating a very heavy landing. The touchdown point was laterally displaced by 59.6 m from the centreline. Ambient conditions were temperature 14 °C, wind calm at 0 kt from 354°, with no cross-wind or head-wind component.

In total the flight covered 22 nm, required 15 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 65 kg of fuel.
