My first "complex" landing.

Recommended Posts

After several hours of normal landings on the ground, I took a shot at landing on a drilling platform.

I can't get over how awesome VR choppers are to fly. So much detail that is missed at 300+ knots.

It's very rewarding doing those for the first time, after some practise you forget how hard these were.

Agree with the detail, it looks so good sometimes, I still love multiplayer formation flying, being at the back and looking past the gunner and in to your mates cockpit takes some beating.

I'm still trying to figure out this landing style... not even close.

 

Can anyone describe what's going on in this video? Apparently the annotations from it are broken.

Maybe you would like to play a mission with that kind of exercices:

Good game😉

 

Thanks, I just might. Once I get my pedals in and get used to them... and can bear the embarrassment  🙂

I´m not super experienced with the Huey, but I mostly land like this.

On the approach, starting around the 1 minute mark in the video, you pull back the cyclic to slow down. At the same time, lower the collective to reduce altitude (otherwise you would just climb)
Keep an eye on the speed, because at around 20 knots comes the tricky part, where Huey wants to drop like a brick. At that point, pull back on the collective (and a bit more on the cyclic) and you also have to push rudder left. You see this at 1:14 min in the video, you see a slight jerking motion and you can also see the left rudder and him correcting with the pedals.

This has to be timed pretty well. If you´re too late on the collective, you will likely crash, if you´re too early you will just climb. If you forget the rudder, you will start to spin.
It´s a bit unfortunate that he didn´t activate his controls overlay in the video.

Raise the nose whilst dropping collective and correctng with the torque pedals to slow. Bring back in collective just prior to loosing transitional lift, corrrect with torque pedals,  bring to hover or thereabouts, drop the copter. 

You can find the "biting point" of the collective to save not having the torque and rpm when required by observing carefully the point at which the aircraft wants to move its nose away from centre as you introduce it. 

Pulling around 180 degrees as you overfly the LZ whilst doing similar also works but is a bit hollywood and slightly harder to co-ordinate. 

Search for Casmo TVs and AVTerminus's tutorials on youtube. They are goldmine of info and understanding. Especially the rotor theory.

Great explanation Thanks.

I'm getting there. So much fun.

Now If I can just get SteamVR to stop crashing.
