What went well

Touched down at 20 fpm — a soft arrival
No sideways movement at touchdown
No sink accelerating out of the hover

What held you back

Departure Hover — Moved over the ground at 16.7 kt on average at 0 %, bank angle up to 15.9 ° at 30 %, −4.15 points
Departure Hover — Moved over the ground at 12.9 kt on average at 21 %, Height held within 7 ft at 72 %, −3.00 points
Arrival Hover — Height held within 9 ft at 56 %, Moved over the ground at 6.8 kt on average at 82 %, −1.82 points

Next time

Departure

Pick a mark on the ground ahead and hold it with small cyclic pressures, correcting the moment it starts to move.

What happened: In the hover after lift-off the helicopter moved over the ground at 17 kt on average, where a steady hover stays under 5 kt.

Watch for: A fixed point on the ground just ahead, held still in the windscreen.

See Departure Hover

Arrival

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 before landing wandered 9.3 ft around its height, against 4 ft for a steady one.

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

See Arrival Hover

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

Take-off and initial climb: the aircraft lifted into a hover and held it for 10 seconds, averaging 6 ft above the spot while moving 215 ft over the ground. It then accelerated from 16 kt to 62 kt, reaching 121 ft above the spot in 55 seconds.

Climb: a series of three short climbs, descents and level legs were flown between 1 600 ft asl and 2 700 ft asl for 4 minutes, covering 6 nm from overhead LEPP Pamplona Airport to a point 2 miles east of Beriain.

Descent and approach: the approach began 478 ft above the landing spot at 91 kt and slowed to 16 kt in 67 seconds, covering less than 1 nm. The aircraft hovered before landing for 44 seconds, averaging 16 ft above the spot and moving 448 ft over the ground. Touchdown occurred at 11 fpm with 1 kt over the ground.

Go-around: after the first touchdown the aircraft lifted into a hover and held it for 23 seconds, averaging 16 ft above the spot and moving 653 ft over the ground. It then accelerated from 16 kt to 1 kt, reaching 1 ft above the spot in 34 seconds.

Second landing: the aircraft touched down at 20 fpm with 0 kt over the ground.

The total flight covered 7 nm, lasted 11 minutes and used 41 kg of fuel.
