That the aircraft needs a good track and balance to get rid of the vertical bounce?

By the perspective on the runway lights alone, way below the glidepath.

Wouldn't worry about the blade tracking..............
The bounce is probably MD900 induced

Guess your computer not yet in a crate then????

U gonna manage a beer before you head off?

Golden Rule for PAPI.
White - White! You'll fly all night. To high.
Red - White! You're right. On profile.
Red - Red! You're DEAD. Too low.

Yeah the vibration was a little much, but i just couldn't work out why the last photo has a dragon like pattern to it...

Had a beer, after the flight..too right, and the computer is well on its way to the crate... as we speak.

If you can manage a beer in the next 36 hours call me, i will fly to any bar you mention..
