Rotrbee - when a condition is given an acronym - VRS, LTE etc, it is usually because it has caused enough accidents for the authorities to need to investigate and highlight a hazardous condition.

That is how the term SWP should have been used - without confusing it with VRS - so that pilots clearly understood how easy it is to run out of power in the OGE environment.

It is a dangerous condition, especially to low time pilots - hence me banging on about it - I try to take the promotion and promulgation of Flight Safety issues seriously since it was part of my job when I was flying professionally and I had a duty of care to my Squadron pilots.
