Hello Hughes. It's over a year ago, when I was probably at about 120hrs TT, so the whole thing was quite daunting to be honest.
Screenshot would suggest QNH on steam gauge and QFE on PFD. As to competence of the instructor, I'm led to believe he's got a pretty solid reputation here and in the States, but maybe that's the RHC viewpoint and not that of the wider industry.
If you're able to view the video I posted, you'll see the VT nips the 2200fpm rate of descent in the bud almost immediately.
I'm obviously a simpleton, but do you suggest that this is not developed VRS, even at that rate of descent and what seemed like serious vibration and instability?
I'm not being facetious, just trying to draw my own conclusions presented with a differing set of 'facts' to deal with.
EDIT - I guess whether 2200fpm qualifies as IVRS or VRS or FDVRS, it's still a bad do if it happens at 100ft...
