Throttles in the roof - during one sim session in a 76 level D we were taught, if single pilot (we always were), a tail drive failure in the hover could be handled, if power available, by climbing vertically to height (1,000 suggested), nosing over to gain airspeed, accept side slip, and fly to suitable, spot for auto
Folks....please do not try this at Home!
Care to tell us where you were taught that?
Had they ever tried to replicate that in an actual aircraft?
My experience in teaching at two different Sim Training facilities located at different manufacturers delivery locations would challenge both the technique being taught and the basis upon which it would even be discussed as the training is supposed to be based upon the RFM, the applicable Operators SOP's etc, and National Aviation Regulations (FAA, CAA, EASA, etc).
Show me anywhere that suggested technique fits under any of the above?
