What went well

Touched down at 73 fpm — a soft arrival
No sideways movement at touchdown
Hover height held within 5 ft

What held you back

Departure Transition — Sank at up to 378 fpm while accelerating away at 44 %, Nose down by up to 25 ° at 50 %, −6.38 points
Departure Transition — bank angle up to 37.2 ° at 26 %, Sank at up to 323 fpm while accelerating away at 55 %, −5.01 points
Arrival Approach — bank angle up to 45.3 ° at 0 %, 33 % of the approach descending fast with little airspeed at 38 %, −4.86 points

Next time

Departure

Lower the nose no further than 15° and add a little collective as the speed builds.

What happened: The nose went down by up to 25° to accelerate, and the helicopter sank at up to 378 fpm. A steep nose-down attitude trades height for speed, and sink is what usually follows.

Watch for: Attitude: nose no lower than 15°; vertical speed level or climbing.

See Departure Transition

Arrival

Line up with the landing spot earlier, so the last part of the approach needs only gentle turns.

What happened: The steepest bank on the approach was 45°, against 20° for full marks.

Watch for: Bank angle: within 20° on the approach.

See Arrival Approach

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.

Every landing in this flight

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 H145 taxied from the parking area to the runway in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nm.

Climb commenced overhead Oberschleissheim in Bavaria, Germany, with the aircraft ascending from 1,713 ft asl to 1,607 ft asl, an increase of 106 ft achieved in 1 minutes while covering less than 1 nm.

A go-around was executed on runway 26 at EDNX Schleissheim Airfield when the aircraft reached 136 ft agl, prompting a climb away from the approach path.

Subsequent landing occurred before the threshold, with touchdown speed recorded at 6 kt and a vertical speed of minus 73 fpm; the touchdown point was offset by 14.1 m from the centreline. Local weather conditions were temperature 15 °C, wind 2 kt from 270°, crosswind component 1 kt and headwind component 2 kt.

In total, the flight covered 2 nm, lasted 10 minutes, and consumed 40 kg of fuel.
