What went well

Set down with no measurable descent — a soft arrival

What held you back

Arrival Hover — bank angle up to 11.4 ° at 62 %, Moved over the ground at 8.6 kt on average at 64 %, −2.70 points
Departure Transition — bank angle up to 21.8 ° at 77 %, −2.26 points
Arrival Approach — bank angle up to 24.2 ° at 83 %, −0.44 points

Next time

Departure

Keep the helicopter level until it is climbing with speed, then turn.

What happened: The steepest bank while accelerating away was 22°, against 15° for full marks.

Watch for: Attitude indicator: level until established in the climb.

See Departure Transition

Arrival

Keep the disc level with small cyclic pressures instead of large corrections that have to be taken back out.

What happened: The steepest bank in the hover before landing was 11°; a steady hover stays within 6°.

Watch for: The horizon level across the windscreen.

See Arrival Hover

A slow, steep descent with power applied can lead to vortex ring state, where the helicopter descends into its own downwash. Keep some forward speed until you're close to the ground. That condition and its recovery are worth studying on their own.

Flight narrative

The aircraft began an en-route climb overhead Heiligenblut (Kaernten, Austria), rising from 3,831 ft asl to 3,751 ft asl, an increase of 80 ft in less than one minute while covering less than one nautical mile.

A level cruise followed overhead Heiligenblut, lasting two minutes and extending three nautical miles.

A second climb commenced three miles southeast of Heiligenblut, where the aircraft ascended from 3,317 ft asl to 4,743 ft asl, gaining 1,426 ft in two minutes and traversing two nautical miles.

Subsequently, a cruise segment began four miles north of Winklern (Kaernten, Austria), persisting for two minutes and covering three nautical miles.

The descent phase started one mile north of Winklern, with the aircraft descending from 4,910 ft asl to 2,482 ft asl, a loss of 2,428 ft in three minutes while covering six nautical miles.

During the final approach to runway 12 at LOKL Lienz-Nikolsdorf Airfield, the aircraft descended from 707 ft agl to 3 ft agl in 62 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.

Landing was executed on runway 12 at LOKL Lienz-Nikolsdorf Airfield; the runway length is 679 m, the threshold height at 253 ft agl was noted as excessively over target, and the threshold speed was 62 kt.

In total, the flight covered 16 nm, required ten minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 21 kg of fuel.
