APPROACH AND LANDING
1. Make final approach into wind at lowest practical rate
of descent with initial airspeed of 60 knots. Adjust carb
heat as required.
2. Reduce airspeed and altitude smoothly to hover. (Be
sure rate of descent is less than 300 FPM before
airspeed is reduced below 30 KIAS.)
3. From hover, lower collective gradually until ground
contact.
4. After initial ground contact, lower collective to full down
position.
CAUTION
When landing on a slope, return cyclic control
to neutral before final reduction of rotor RPM.
CAUTION
Never leave helicopter flight controls
unattended while engine is running.
CAUTION
Hold throttle closed if passenger is entering
or exiting left front seat with engine running
and left seat collective installed.
