Thanks to the link reminder, that was indeed a good paper.
I think the essence of a good pilot, is to already predict the chain of event, and be ready to push that pedal (or decrease that collectives) because you saw it coming
I remember very early in my training:
was flying downwind on the upwind side of a hill, the aircraft was so gentle it was beautiful,
went around the hill, on the downwind side, the aircraft started sinking toward the ground
added a bunch of collective and the tail started to spin around, almost did a full turn (we were still downwind)
I didn't see it anything coming, missed all the signs passing by me, yet the fix was soo simple, Instructor just push the collectives slightly down and gently steer us toward the valley
Since then I have never tried to fight nature with collective, its a losing battle.
