Thing is, the FAA gave me a license to fly helicopters, not to design them, so what they want me to know about the physics behind that design is good enough for me.
However, if someone can prove to me that the FAA's definition of Coriolis Effect will cause me to crash my helicopter, then I'd be more than happy to discover the "truth".
Until then, I'll just sit Corilois Effect on the shelf next to Settling with Power, Loss of Tail Rotor Effectiveness,...and any other titles that we give to things that the rest of you don't like,...that don't effect how I fly, or my odds of crashing anyway.
