8. Tail Skid (Bumper) Flare Angle and Landing Surface Clearance
Running landing:
Maximum recommended ground contact speed is 30 knots for smooth hard sur
face.
Avoid rapid lowering of the collective and applying aft cyclic after ground con
tact.
Slope landing:
Slope landings have been demonstrated up to 12
°
in any direction. Successful
completion of this maneuver on a particular surface will depend on sufficient
friction between the skid tubes and the landing surface to prevent the helicopter
from sliding.
