Heliflyr Posted Monday at 08:22 PM Posted Monday at 08:22 PM (edited) The helicopter downwash needs to match the color of the terrain it is flying or hovering over. Tho, the downwash gives the helicopter some nice visuals, it is also a curse when flying over green vegetation making the helicopter easy to spot. Also, when the collective is down, there should be near 0 downwash visuals since the blades are at flat pitch. The Pic on the top is at flat pitch and in a hover on the bottom.

I've never seen dust blowing on grass. fly a helicopter in the US SouthEast in the spring. my Mooney, despite being painted white and green and living in a fully enclosed hangar, spends all spring every year being yellow and brown. The pollen is unreal.
