What went well

Touched down at 24 fpm — a soft arrival
No sideways movement at touchdown
Hover height held within 2 ft

What held you back

Departure Hover — bank angle up to 14.5 ° at 40 %, Height held within 9 ft at 57 %, −2.64 points
Arrival Approach — 60 % of the approach descending fast with little airspeed at 0 %, Fastest descent 1,643 fpm at 30 %, −1.89 points
Departure Hover — Height held within 9 ft at 61 %, Moved over the ground at 8.5 kt on average at 65 %, −1.72 points

Next time

Departure

Hold the hover height with small, early collective movements, and add pedal as you change power so the nose stays put.

What happened: The hover after lift-off wandered 8.7 ft around its height, against 4 ft for a steady one.

Watch for: Height above the ground, steady within 4 ft.

See Departure Hover

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 60% of the approach the helicopter was slow and descending fast at the same time; full marks allow 5%.

Watch for: Airspeed and vertical speed together: never low airspeed with a fast descent.

See Arrival Approach

The ground restricts the rotor's downwash, reducing the power needed to hover. The effect is strongest within about half a rotor diameter of the surface and mostly gone by one full diameter. This is why a collective setting that holds a hover at 3 feet won't hold it at 30 feet.

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 R66 Turbine departed KSGU St George Regional Airport on runway 19, executing a take-off roll of 932 m which represented 33 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 24 kt. Ambient conditions at departure were a temperature of 36 °C, wind from 201° at 19 kt with a head-wind component of 19 kt and no cross-wind.

Climb commenced approximately one mile south of KSGU, where the aircraft rose from 3,518 ft asl to 3,689 ft asl, a gain of 171 ft in less than one minute while covering less than one nautical mile.

The first level-cruise segment began one mile south of KSGU and continued for three minutes, during which the aircraft traversed five nautical miles.

Descent was initiated one mile north of KSGU, with the aircraft descending from 3,858 ft asl to 3,110 ft asl, a loss of 749 ft over two minutes and a distance of one nautical mile.

A subsequent level-cruise phase started directly overhead KSGU, lasting six minutes and covering two nautical miles.

Landing was made at General Dick Stout Field, with touchdown occurring before the runway threshold at a speed of 8 kt and a vertical rate of minus 42 fpm. Weather at the destination was a temperature of 37 °C, wind from 270° at 23 kt, a cross-wind component of 17 kt and a tail-wind component of 16 kt.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to parking, a taxi-in of 21 minutes that covered 25 nm.

In total, the flight covered 46 nm, required 43 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 104 kg of fuel.
