Hi there

Let me say at the start I've never flown a robbie, but I do understand you have to be pretty quick off the mark.

Ask your CFI as to whether you could flare and check at a greater height and treat the rest of the landing as an engine off from a high hover (i.e. dump the pole again). We find it's a good procedure in the 206 for people who don't fly a lot - the normal method needs a lot of practice to get it right every time.

Of course, it may not work as well with lighter blades, but it would be interesting to hear what the panel thinks

cheers

Phil
