Landing again at a property north of Brisbane. If you look carefully at the touchdown you may be able to see that the left skid makes contact with the ground first followed by the right skid. This is due to the translating tendency caused by the thrust from the tail rotor pushing the helicopter to the right. Helicopters with main rotors that spin counter clockwise require a left input of the cyclic in the hover to compensate for this, which causes the left skid to hang slightly lower than the right. This is also further exaggerated here due to the slope of the ground where the landing is performed, though not as apparent in the video.
