Completion Standards

The student will gain an understanding of the conditions requiring a shallow approach and running landing, and the execution thereof. During maximum performance takeoffs, the student will demonstrate proper attitude and power control to hold the helicopter at ETL, maintain heading within +/- 15 degrees, and transition smoothly to normal climb when clear of the obstacle. During a steep approach, the student shall maintain an appropriate approach angle and rate of closure. Steep approaches should transition smoothly to a stationary hover within 3 feet of the designated point. The student will recognize the need for and perform a go-around when a steep approach landing cannot be made safely or the student is directed to go-around by his/her instructor. Slope operations should be well-controlled, slow, and smooth.
