3.11 Glide Slope Approach to a Hover 

 
Condition(s): 

1.

 

Precision RDASS at a 35m hover altitutde 

2.

 

Precision RDASS at least 75m from the Operator Controlling 
the Aircraft 

3.

 

Sufficient obstacle clearance to perform maneuver 

Standard(s):  

1.

 

Maintain heading ± 10 degrees of desired heading. 

2.

 

Maintain desired ground track ± 3m  

3.

 

Maintain consistent glideslope during  descent 

4.

 

Arrive within a 3m radius above intended point of landing  

Crew Actions: 

Operator Controlling the Aircraft (OCA):  

1.

 

Announce flight actions e.g. beginning descent, turning 
left, etc.  

Visual Observer (VO):  

1.

 

Operator Controlling the Aircraft in determining the 
position of the aircraft over the intended landing area 

2.

 

Assist the Operator Controlling the Aircraft in 
maintaining obstacle clearance and avoidance  

Procedure: 

 
Flight Tablet. Decrease the fly-to altitude to minimum altitude 
or as low as obstacles allow. As the aircraft begins to descend, 
use the virtual joysticks to steer the aircraft toward the point of 
intended landing.  
 
Remote Control. Simultaneously decrease the throttle and give 
direction flight control inputs on the cyclic to direct the vehicle 
toward the intended point of landing. If the RCO desires to 
terminate the approach at the surface, the FTO must press the 
“Land Now” button to allow the RCO to descend below the 
minimum altitude set in mission limits.
