All right. What's the key to a nice straight in? Auto. Setting it up. Good setup. Traffic helicopter 25 kilo will be on base to final Runway two eight. The Internet. Nice is going to be nice. The Internet's sloppy. It's going to be sloppy. They looking good. Air speed's good. Small rate of descent, but you can clean that up. You just pull a hair collective because you're about 1300. Nice. Looking good. Being set up ahead of time before coming over our tree line down there. Looking good. Nice setup, man. That's key. Good setup. It's all yours again. But I start getting ready. As a matter of fact, let me count it off for you. Let me see if I can make a guess here. I would say 1, 2, 3, enter. Good. Nice entry. That's the nicest entry you've done yet. Just letting it fly. Yep. Just let the instrument do the work. Sure. There you go. There you go. There you go. Yeah, baby. Yeah. There's your 60 there. Nice. Nice. Let her. Let her. Yep. Now go forward and roll that throttle in there. That was pretty flipping nice. Did that not feel good? Yeah, it did. That was a nice entry. Your glide looked good. We saw we were going to be a hair short race. A little collective to lower the rpm, stretched it out, flared over our spot. That was good. I still think it was too much flare too quick. Could have waited a little bit longer, but that's like the best one yet. Let's go do a 90. Let's do a left hand pattern. We're going to do a 90. That was nice. That was the nicest, Rick. And straight in you've done. And did you see how nice the entry was? Was that not the nicest entry you've done yet? Just letting it do its thing. Exactly. You get it. Now it's this helicopter. If you set it up right and you enter it nice and smooth, you don't do nothing. You just sit there. You're gonna make one small little raise of the collective, you know, to keep the RPM from going too high. And that's all you're gonna do. That's it. Just sit there and wait to flare it. It's the beauty of the high inertia rotor system, man. I'm telling you, Sam.
