Safest final approach
I'm 10 hrs into PPL(H) in a R44 and have been flying with a couple of instructors - both are excellent but have different advice on the final approach.
On the one hand gently bleed off airspeed with aft cyclic throughout the approach and maintain glideslope with the collective - reach the aiming-spot with no flare.
On the other hand maintain 60 KIAS until 100ft AGL then begin gentle cyclic flare and control height with collective. Level off as airspeed falls to zero.
What does everyone think off the best approach in terms of controlling sink rate, vortex ring state and keeping out of the avoid curve?
