Realistically the power reduction needed for loss of t/r thrust will come from collective and not throttle?
i can’t see winding off throttle but not reducing collective ending well . There may be an option to do a shallow approach and use throttle in a 206 , MD500 or even some AS350,s but for the rest of us it’s not really an option. I may be quite wrong but I would prefer to auto ( throttle on ) onto a bad site rather than lose control trying to fly on .... obviously if I was over v hostile territory I may be forced to give it a go and try to keep flying if possible ( this would probably depend on the airspeed you have when it occurs ... my guess is anything much less than 50 knots it’s going to be hard not to start to spin )
i wouid be interested to hear what other people think !
would you for instance use throttles on an old 109 or 355 by letting go off collective for a second ?? Wouid co pilot do this ??!!
