Namaste Steve,
That Puma certainly threw a shed load of debris around,
just a question for you regarding landing on a shelf like you are in the last pic, I have only ever landed where the land around the machine is flat or nearly flat but constant in profile for the range of small helis I have landed, if near to a drop away when settling down say at about 20 ft and down do you need to offer any rotor tipping to counter the way the downdraft will be being lost down the slope of incline of such drop offs.
or do you just fly in gauging an almost greased on landing...?
Many regards
Peter R-B
