If the pilot were to make a near-vertical power approach into a confined area with the airspeed near zero, what hazardous condition may develop?

Autorotation
Ground resonance when landing
Bouncing the landing causing the tailrotor to strike the ground
A settling with power condition

Explanation

Correct answer: D. A settling with power condition. In this condition, the rotors are not developing enough speed to generate lift for the helicopter. Instead, the air is traveling through the vortex ring and basically causing no lift, making a recovery to be in jeopardy.
