One instructor has recommended a power check at ETL just before landing, especially when heavy, and at high density altitude. He notes the percentage power needed to maintain altitude at ETL, and determines that he will need 15% above that to hover from the pinnacle, and another 15%, if he has to Max-P out.
This was a good vid. I always get irritated about steep approaches because you can get 3 different answers from 3 different cfis on what a good steep approach looks like🙄
Nice 1👍
Thank you 👍

I have always taught a steep approach is approximately 15 degrees. In reality it's not really very steep!
That's kinda what I thought. Basically you only need to adjust your angle if you're worried about turbulence or possible debris on the LZ
