From my side of things, I used to hate when it was time for the old AS350D recurrent training time with the D models below the nose mounted pitot tube and low skid gear. Seemed every week some anointed stick wiggler would either stick the tail skid in the mud or snag the nearest fire ant mound with the pitot tube during the full auto quals. Job security for sure but was happy when high gear and windshield level pitot arrived on the scene.
