  normal approach to the surface or a no-hover landing is often 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 helicopter comes ... same as the normal approach to a hover; however, instead of terminating at a hover, continue the approach to touchdown. Touchdown should occur with the skids level, zero groundspeed, and a rate of descent approaching zero…

Upon reaching the intended touchdown area and at the appropriate landing gear height, increase the collective smoothly to align the nose with the landing direction ... aircraft forward and down to the surface. In certain wind conditions, the nose of the helicopter may remain to the left with zero to near zero groundspeed above the intended touchdown point. If the helicopter is not turning, simply lower…

  Common Errors 1. Assuming excessive nose-high attitude to slow the helicopter near the surface. 2. Utilizing insufficient collective and throttle to cushion a landing. 3. Failure to maintain heading resulting in a turning or pivoting motion. 4. Failure ... landing, resulting in a touchdown while the helicopter is moving sideward. 5.
