Altitude and Airspeed You must select a minimum altitude for safety. For a dual flight, the minimum altitude is 1,500ft AGL (above ground level). If practicing these maneuvers solo, raise the minimum altitude to 2,000ft AGL. Ensure you know the appropriate airspeed for the maneuver. Airspeed ±10 knots from entry airspeed.

He only needed a glide ratio of 14:1 to reach the airfield to arrive at a typical pattern altitude of 1,000 ft AGL. At this point he still had an altitude of 8,275 ft MSL, i.e. 2,739 ft AGL. This is consistent with Rick’s report, which referenced 9 knots of wind. His altitude was 1339 AGL and his ground speed was 92 kts.

The helicopter turned left to return to the airport, travelling at about 85 knots. The indicated airspeed had fallen below 65 knots and was still decreasing. As the airspeed decayed, the right yaw increased. As the airspeed decayed, the right yaw increased. The pilot reported two miles out.

But the engineering behind the G7 didn’t wring a few more knots from the carbon fiber airframe by tweaking fairings or FIKI panels. Flap overspeed protection makes for one more improvement, preventing the pilot from deploying the flaps above the programmed indicated airspeed relevant to the flap setting selected.
