- Nota adicional1
- A normal approach uses a descent profile of between 8° and 12° starting at approximately 300 feet AGL.
- Contexto
- A normal approach to the surface or a no-hover landing is used if loose snow or dusty surface conditions exist. These situations could cause severely restricted visibility, or the engine could possibly ingest debris when the heli- copter comes to a hover. The approach is the same as the normal approach to a hover; however, instead of termi- nating at a hover, continue the approach to touchdown. Touchdown should occur with the skids level, zero groundspeed, and a rate of descent approaching zero.
