Errrr, the flight manual is created for people working from airports---I normally see an airport a few times a year, the rest of the time I operate from a pad or field in the middle of nowhere, hence we train for the conditions we will likely encounter. Sometimes the flight manual does not keep up with reality due to "potential litigation". Clearly I need to find a higher horse.

Look at all the accidents that occur doing Hyd off in an Astar---if only they were taught correctly.
