A friend of mine went for his simulator check on the S61N and was told that normally the approach angle is about 30 degrees. So for a 22m deck when we cross the deck edge we should be theoritically 40 ft above the deck edge (using sine,cosine formulas). I tried this but it looks rather low.However, I find a lot of pilots in trying to do steep approach ending up in a high hover over the deck.
