Approach Angle
~ more than 10 and up to 90 degrees is considered to be a "steep", 15 degrees below

Maneuver is similar to a normal approach

Differences:
~ at a given altitude you will intercept 15 degree approach angle closer to your landing area
~ this typically requires a slightly more aggressive decelleration,
~ since you have to get rid of the same amount of airspeed, but over a shorter distance
~ collective will initially have to be at a lower position
~ you will be holding more right pedal
~ you will be at a higher altitude when losing translational lift
~ this will require more power than a normal approach would, and needs to be included in your pre-approach planning
~ the steeper the approach is, the more likely pilot is to encounter settling with power
~ descent rate should be below 300 feet per minute = 5,5 km/h before you lose ETL (Effective Translational Lift)
