Departure Transition — scored 99.12 %, −0.15 points

Next time

Arrival

Start the descent earlier and hold a steady, moderate rate with collective, so there is no steep drop to stop near the ground.

What happened: The approach reached 1,168 fpm of descent, against 800 fpm for full marks.

Watch for: Vertical speed: no more than 800 fpm on the approach.

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.

Flight narrative

The flight began with the aircraft lifting into a hover and holding that position for 4 minutes, averaging 8 ft above the spot while moving 1,312 ft over the ground.

After the hover, the aircraft accelerated from 31 kt to 60 kt, climbing to 78 ft above the spot in 12 seconds.

It then transitioned to level flight at 1,600 ft asl, maintaining that altitude for 2 minutes and covering 2 nm, starting overhead LEPP Pamplona Airport Pamplona.

The approach started at 35 ft above the landing spot with a speed of 30 kt. The aircraft decelerated to 3 kt over 2.4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

A second hover was performed before landing for 2 minutes, averaging 19 ft above the spot and moving 352 ft over the ground.

Touchdown occurred with 0 kt over the ground. The total flight distance was 2 nm, the flight time was 10 minutes, and fuel consumption was 49 kg.
