What do you mean with "35 knots touchdown"?
The huey manual says to not touch down with more than 25 knots due to the risk of ripping off the skid gear... (although this would be the last thing in a long list of things in a real emergency.).. |

Wonder what was taught elsewhere. Flying the Huey at night or IMC conditions that went right to the ground eg fog we did 35 knot autos and ran it on at that speed.

Known in the UK Mil as a constant attitude EOL because there is no flare - yes, good fun to do.

Just asking: if you pull the collective at 35kt, what is the airspeed of ground contact, much more than 25kt?
A low speed, constant attitude EOL (all the way to touchdown) was the RAF’s recommenced technique for a nil engine, low visibility or night landing. |
