Helicopter Flight Training, Here we are going to talk about a normal approach. The Key to a good approach, is a good set up. Here we have our 60, 300 feet above the ground, and zero rate of descent. We want to have everything set up nice. We are gonna start our approach at 300 AGL, you can see in this video right here, if we come over those trees at 1100 feet by our altimeter we know that we are 300 AGL. Set up for a nice normal approach. We start our descent with a little bit of down collective, right pedal and aft cyclic. We are then going to start gradually slowing the helicopter. Down to 50, then to 40, then to 30. It's a slow, smooth, gradual process of slowing the helicopter down all the way to the runway. Keeping the approach angle the same, controlling the angle with the collective. Controlling our speed with the cyclic. We are waiting to get our rate of descent below 300 feet per minute before we let the airspeed drop below 30. That is the general safe rule for keeping you out of Settling With Power! This one we can't beat enough, lots of pilots get in to trouble, coming in to fast, to high of a rate of descent! They let their airspeed drop off, get below ETL, and that's when they get in to Settling With Power!
