turn. The pilot establishes the aircraft on a downwind heading at the recommended airspeed, and parallel to the intended touchdown point. Then, taking the wind into account, the pilot establishes the ground track approximately 200 feet laterally from the desired ... course line to the touchdown point. In strong crosswind conditions, the pilot should be prepared to adjust the downwind leg closer or farther out, as appropriate. The pilot uses the autorotation entry airspeed recommended by the RFM. When abeam…

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…
