- re your unattributed quote (mfaff perhaps- who strikes me as 'electrically qualified' rather than flying?) - I believe the poster was asking a genuine question for information - not as you appear to imply to 'accuse' the pilot in this accident, which none of us can.
For mfaff - any speed from heli 'max' down to nil for a precautionary landing via hover taxi at around 5-10kts would be options for flight in visual contact with features.
