What went well

Touched down at 31 fpm — a soft arrival
No sideways movement at touchdown
No sink accelerating out of the hover

What held you back

Arrival Approach — 32 % of the approach descending fast with little airspeed at 41 %, Fastest descent 1,105 fpm at 75 %, −4.80 points

Next time

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 32% 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

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 Airbus H145 began an en-route level cruise one mile south-east of Baranain, Navarra, Spain. The segment lasted less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nm.

The aircraft then commenced an en-route climb from the same point, rising from 1,769 ft asl to 2,224 ft asl - an increase of 455 ft - over a period of 2 minutes while traversing 2 nm.

Subsequently, an en-route descent was initiated overhead Pamplona, Navarra, Spain. The descent reduced altitude from 2,223 ft asl to 1,753 ft asl, a loss of 470 ft, in 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.

A second en-route level cruise followed, starting overhead Pamplona and lasting 2 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled less than 1 nm.

In total, the flight covered 3 nm, required 7 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 39 kg of fuel.
