#1 was to blame on me
- heavy AS 350 takin a too fast and too tight turn - jack stall - lower collective, etc. - all good.
#2 I was picking up a pilot who delivered a customer aircraft. I was in a HU300 with dual controls. On the return flight we had to refuel on the way. Comming to the fuel station i wanted to stop and land from a hover, but comming into the hover I couldnīt stop the aircraft spinning although applying "full" pedal. Just made it away from the fuel point an closed the throttle over a bit of grass. Turned out the other guy had placed his bag of cleaning material between windshield and dual pedals so a part of that stuff restricted the pedals from full travel. - There were a few "friendly" words afterwards.
But I had to blame me as well because of not noticing the bag there earlier.
