Overpitched: Maybe instead of "the ideal situation" i should have put "one of the "ideal" situations".
I would agree with you though that they would have to be flairing fairly enthusiastically to have a vrs problem, but with pratically calm conditions, it's not impossible. Same goes for overpitching though, at this time of the year with coldish temps and the amount of spare power a R22 has for the weight, to overpitch and run out of power you would have to be hauling in a BIG bunch of collective at the end. I don't know anything about their weight (had they just taken off with full fuel, or just coming back with hardly any?)
But, regardless, i was just surprised that these 2 guys were getting called 2 old Farts, and getting slagged of by you when all you had to go on was what you'd read on here. That's what prompted the reply to you.
Cheers
