What held you back

Arrival Touchdown — Touched down at 664 fpm at 0 %, Sideways at touchdown 1.9 kt at 78 %, −5.31 points
Departure Hover — bank angle up to 36.9 ° at 0 %, Moved over the ground at 12.6 kt on average at 25 %, −5.21 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touched down at 665 fpm at 0 %, −4.44 points

Next time

Departure

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 after lift-off was 23°; a steady hover stays within 6°.

Watch for: The horizon level across the windscreen.

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 11% of the approach the helicopter was slow and descending fast together, and it met the ground at 501 fpm. A slow, fast descent is hard to stop with collective, and a firm touchdown usually follows.

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

See Arrival ApproachArrival 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.

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 Helicopters H160 taxied from the parking area to the runway in 1 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

During takeoff the rotorcraft accelerated from 11 kt to 22 kt and reached 35 ft above the spot in 6 seconds.

The first touchdown was recorded at a vertical speed of 665 fpm with a ground speed of 16 kt.

A second touchdown occurred at 664 fpm with 6 kt over the ground.

Climb followed as the aircraft accelerated from 16 kt to 61 kt, attaining 155 ft above the spot in 20 seconds.

Level cruise began overhead Hesingue, Grand Est, France, lasting 3 minutes and covering 5 nm.

Descent started over Saint-Louis, Grand Est, France, dropping from 1,154 ft asl to 952 ft asl-a loss of 202 ft-in less than 1 minute while covering less than 1 nm.

The approach commenced 139 ft above the landing spot at 92 kt and slowed to 5 kt in 60 seconds, covering 1 nm.

Final touchdown was achieved at a vertical speed of 501 fpm with a ground speed of 3 kt.

Overall the flight covered a total distance of 7nm, took 7, and used 30 kg of fuel.
