Landing on Clear Area Distance from LDP
The distance shown on the PMV from LDP at 100 ft /40 kts to a 10 ft hover is 650 meters. This "looks" like a very flat approach descending 80 ft over such a long distance.
During my conversion (by Eurocopter instructor) this fact was not stressed upon me. Do most of the operators adopt such a shallow approach?
Also our HOMS had picked up a lot of pilots flaring more than 10 degrees nose up below 50 ft (just 2 degrees more for about 2 seconds) . I do not see any section in the PMV that restricts this attitude. Only restriction is nose attitude to be not more than 10 degrees prior to landing. Anyone else having such problems?
