When we set the helicopter down, which I'm going to do right now, we slowly go down to the ground, go down, pushing down, pushing down, get through our air cushion. Once you get to the ground, you want to go nice and smooth collective all the way down. And then when you're ready to start picking up, it's a nice gradual smooth pull using a two step process. Get the aircraft lighting the skids, get it up, light and lift the aircraft up off the ground. Now sometimes here's what you'll find people do. They'll come here, they've been training with someone else and we'll go do a set down. They'll go, okay, they're coming down, they're coming down, they're coming down, they're coming down. We get, we get to the ground and then they stop. Well, you're kind of at a dangerous point there. Don't just pause all the way down. It's just not a good idea to keep that collective right there at that spot where you're ready to take off again. And people will do that and then they'll start talking and carry on a conversation. You know bad things can happen when you're not staying on top of the controls and paying attention to what you're doing. So not a good habit to get partially to the ground, set down, then just stop or just yank back up again. Anytime you set the collect helicopter down the ground collective all the way down. If you want to lift back up again, then you just start your lift up. Everything we do in the helicopter should be slow, smooth, methodical. There's never a reason to do anything fast, never a reason to do anything abrupt. Even in helicopter ems, it was slow, smooth, methodical. Nothing we did at any part of flying was rushed. So anytime you set down, make sure you put that collective all the way down. Live to fly another day. Helicopterground Com.
