The instructor teaches the appropriate pre-landing reconnaissance for unfamiliar landing areas ... uncontrolled fields. During landings in strong winds, the instructor should have the skill sufficient to deal with the wind conditions. During a short-field or confined area landing, certain aircraft may fly at a slower approach speed. The instructor should…

Chapter 10: Advanced Flight Maneuvers › Shallow Approach and Running/Roll-On Landing
Shallow Approach and Running/Roll-On Landing Use a shallow approach and running landing when a high-density altitude, a high gross weight condition, or some combination thereof, is such that a normal or steep approach cannot be made because of insufficient ... power to hover. [Figure 10-5] To compensate for this lack of power, a shallow approach and running landing makes use of translational lift until surface contact is made. If flying a wheeled helicopter, a roll-on landing…

Landing—Stuck Neutral or Right Pedal The landing profile for a stuck neutral or a stuck right pedal is a low-power approach terminating with a running or roll-on landing. The approach profile can best be described ... shallow to normal approach angle to arrive approximately 2–3 feet landing gear height above the intended landing area with a minimum airspeed for directional control.
