But as noted....in helicopters the slower you are at touch down in both vertical and horizontal directions the better off you are.
Especially at night. You don't want to tell the people at the bar that you just made a perfect touchdown into a pitch black hole and then ruined the helicopter by smacking into a tree at 30 kts
