Descent Final Approach Hangar

When I visited the company’s Olathe, Kansas, engineering hangar to see a G5000 retrofit in progress, Garmin’s Dave Brown made a good point about these older turbine airframes needing a refresh. It’s a huge project. The displays are touchscreen, plus there’s a QWERTY keypad and radio tuning knob console.

We declared for runway 17 and departed the area to the southeast for a descent to pattern altitude and a 45° entry to the downwind. I cross-controlled the Warrior into a slip to steepen the descent and immediately got on the brakes when we touched down. Once we had everyone gathered together, we proceeded to the breakfast hangar.

At approximately 30-40 feet agl, the spinning stopped and the helicopter appeared to stabilize for a brief moment before continuing a nose-low, forward descent into the grass north of Runway 28. The operator had a surveillance camera inside the hangar to capture the work and the preflight inspections.

At the airport, there was ice and snow to remove from in front of the hangar door, fuel to add to the Warrior now resting on three fully inflated tires (the left main had a new tube), and then there was the moment when I slipped on ice while pulling the airplane from the hangar and landed flat on my back. We had a deal.

Since we lost our LPV approaches due to obstructions along the final approach course, the downgraded LNAV minimum descent altitude for the approach to runway 28 was 558 feet above the ground. I was cleared for the RNAV-28 approach into Sodus and set the avionics appropriately. I asked him teasingly.

I had an easy out available to me: a descent of 1000 feet would bring me out of the clouds with plenty of altitude to spare above the terrain. A prop lock is required on all aircraft parked outside of a hangar at the MD-3 airports, though throttle locks provide an alternate means of compliance. But no ice formed that morning.
