So just to be clear - I don't care what you call SWP Robbiee - all I care about is that pilots know there is a difference between VRS and running out of power in an OGE hover.
If this whole discussion serves to highlight that difference then it was worth me banging my head against a brick wall for so many posts.
SWP/SWEP/overpitching/or whatever, causes far more accidents - as rotorbee points out - yet the reason for those accidents has often been attributed to VRS because the FAA were confusing the terminology.
That leads to pilots confusion which is always a bad thing especially if something as important as good pre-flight planning and power awareness is ignored because of that confusion.
gator2 - I agree, keep it simple. I thought it was simple since I clearly understood the difference between the two situations but I appear to be in a minority.
