NOTE: Normal rotor RPM (collective fully down) is 485 ± 5 RPM
at 1900 pounds gross weight at sea level, 60 knots. Rotor speed will
decrease approximately 10 RPM for each 100 pound reduction in
gross weight and increase approximately 6.5 RPM for each 1000
foot increase in density altitude. For gross weight greater than 1900
pounds, increase collective control as required to maintain
approximately 485 RPM.
4-11. LANDING APPROACH
CAUTION
Fire can result from a landing in tall dry grass due to exhaust
heat; exercise care in selecting landing site. In case of a grass
fire move aircraft to a clear area.

at 91%.
4-12. RUNNING LANDING
CAUTION
Any running landing with new skid shoes will result in a more
noticeable nose down tendency during ground slide.
Maximum recommended ground contact speed is 30 knots for
smooth hard surface.
Avoid rapid lowering of the collective control after ground contact.
Avoid the use of aft cyclic after ground contact.
