It has been the same at all the operators I have worked for, how I was originally taught and how I instructed: climb to minimum 2,000 AGL, bleed off all the airspeed while keeping some power applied and wait for the shudder. Watch the VSI for the descent. The bottom drops out pretty fast. Do the recovery of your choice. I used to commonly see 2,000 FPM descent and a loss of 500' before recovery when lowering the collective and using forward cyclic. I have never seen it anywhere close to that using the Vuichard. Once again, the key to this whole thing is
early recognition. You 're training as much for the recognition as the recovery.
