But please do not continue the theme that FSTD training is not valuable....for most items....
you haven't read what I wrote if that is what you think I am doing
...…"If you can do it in the FSTD, you will have no problem in the Helicopter"
No. it will be DIFFERENT in the helicopter
For example, If I teach Auto to EOL, I am fully confident that what I am presenting will work well in the helicopter.
of course, because it is a tried and tested manoeuvre based on plenty of real world experience and feedback - teaching an auto to EOL from the hover at night isn't and this is where you started your argument about FSTD training.
