Rotorfossil is quite correct. (He has many more hours than me on the R22 and far more experience.) Keep the 60 KIAS; the nose will drop and the instinctive reaction is to flare slightly until the flare. But it does all happen very quickly from initiation to touchdown. A positive flare will be needed before level and touchdown, groundspeed will normally be relatively high, compared with a standard full auto at 60 KIAS.

Rotorfossil: Good to hear you were tempted back to the rotary world and the examiner's seat.

212man: I'll be at the KB Seaview from 7th Jan or at Seria in working hours.
