Colombia B206 crash 20.dec.21

[Gordy]

As a rough guide, this has worked for all bell products I have flown, (206B3, 206L4, 407, Huey, 205):

1. Set up for a steep approach to be 100 feet above the obstacle in front of you.... for the sake of explanation we will call this the "decision point". You would aim to arrive at the decision point in a deceleration to little to no airspeed and less than 300fpm descent and almost hover power.
2. Just as you reach the decision point, assuming you have made the approach smoothly, you will push the nose over slightly to stop the deceleration and you will feel a little drop..raise the collective a tad to stop the drop and note your pedal position, TQ and TOT.

From those numbers you need the following to hoverIGE:

a. An extra ONE inch of left pedal
b. An extra 5% TQ
c. An extra 35 degrees TOT

From those numbers you need the following to hover OGE.a. An extra one and half inch of left pedal
b. An extra 15% TQ
c. An extra 50 degrees of TOT
