Under autos, it used to say, "Adjust collective as necessary to keep rpm in the green arc,...". Now its, "between 97 and 110", which makes me wonder if students and new pilots are just getting really sloppy nowadays? I mean, the old way taught precision, and 97 isn't even the bottom of the yellow arc, 90 is, so wtf?
Combine this with some of the later Safety Notices and it just seems like Robinson thinks that pilot training has gotten worse (or pilots have just gotten dumber) in the last decade, or so, and need everything almost spoon fed to us?
,...but maybe its just me.
