I'm just a novice in all this, but I did start the thread so... if Vuichard only works for IVRS, just how exactly does it differ from the conventional recovery? (a) You go sideways instead of...

I flew the R44 again today (a different one, no floats or glass panel). My instructor hadn't heard of the Vuichard technique by name, but when I explained it, he said, "we've just started teaching...
