conditions and how to correct the situation to maintain a stabilized approach. The decision on choosing aiming points and touchdown points should not be made mechanically either. It is the instructor’s responsibility to teach the learner how to pick ... appropriate aiming and touchdown points based on the type of aircraft, the landing being attempted, the environment and conditions present, and the expected landing performance. Some of the same hazards associated while teaching takeoffs are also present while teaching landings…

Technique On final approach, maintain track with the intended touchdown point and into the wind as much as possible at the recommended approach airspeed [Figure 10-4, position 1]. When intercepting an approach angle of 13° to 15°, begin ... Continue to decelerate with slight aft cyclic and smoothly lower the collective to maintain the approach angle. The intended touchdown point may not always be visible throughout the approach, especially when landing to a hover. Pilots must learn…
