Physics of Deceleration in Landing
Ok guys, if you're coming in for a landing at 15 kts, at what point does your forward momentum commit you to land? 1 second out, 2 seconds, 1 rotor diameter, more? Let's say you're flying a Bell 206 the like, so not too heavy.
Basically, how much time/distance would you need to stop without physically touching down if you're landing fast. Does it depend on the pilot?
