Back to Enemy Engaged - Comanche versus Hokum

Landing your helicopter

The most basic landing tachnique in a helicopter involves slowing from forward flight by "flaring" - descending to a hover and then landing straight down from about 20 feet.

The diagram below shows you the positions of the
JOYSTICK - IN GREEN and the COLLECTIVE - IN RED.

This assumes that you have a throttle control and you have set the sim options to operate it helo-style - i.e. max power in the back or up position and idle forward or down.

Oooops! How am I going to explain the scratches?

Don't forget to lower the landing gear.
