I am with Crab too. Passing military selection and the spending nearly 200 hours training under intense scrutiny, always only 5 hours away from review and the chop, is a mission.
Long term survival in this business requires some manipulation involving the types you fly, the organisations you fly for and the scope of the missions you do. After tha, Lady Luck and fate are waiting in the wings.
Having said that let's not trash Butters. His message is really valid, know the limits and apply them. That is all he is saying. As to the Robbie, don't know enough about the. flew an R44 once and was mildly alarmed that the governor is not in parallel to the throttle control and felt weird as I moved the collective and the throttle turned in my hand.
Good luck to all the Robbie jockeys. Follow Butters advice. It's surely a good place to start.
