So how would you describe VRS compared to what I just said.?
I'm really sure the FAA didn't do it because of me btw

VRS is (simply put) when you settle into your own downwash, because your airspeed is less than ETL and your descent rate is greater than 300fpm. We used to call it "settling
with power" because you are "settling" despite having plenty of power available,...and since you could not get into "settling with power" without first entering the vortex ring state, these two terms were used synonymously.
Now sure, overpitching can lead to VRS, but since the root cause of that situation was insufficient power, it makes no sense to call it, settling "with power".
Anyway, this is all moot, as the FAA no longer uses that term, so for us, "settling with power" does not exist,....well at least when they discover that they missed this one and erase it too that is.
