Manufacturers are pretty good on handling advice these days........ Lawyers have forced that
Really? Here's the elevated helipad landing profile recommended by Sikorsky. Thankfully I'm not aware of any operator that follows it!
The approach is flown at an airspeed of 40 KIAS
with a descent rate of no more than 600 feet per minute. At
an altitude of 50 feet above the landing surface, the aircraft
is flared to reduce airspeed and descent rate. During this
flare, the pilot should maneuver the aircraft over the landing
pad.
Pilots should follow their operator's procedures - end of!
