A While back....... In Canada around April `02 for EOL. But I`m not flying commercially yet.
Did power recoveries in UK in a 206 as part of a check out for self fly hire. It amazes me the different techniques - As when I did the power recovery here, I was asked only to lower the collective ?! Whereas in Canada we closed the throttle to idle to enter auto and brought in throttle a 500' (slowly not exceeding the 40% Tq) for the power recovery.... Anyone else heard of that?
KennyR - why in Canada do they do autos to the tarmac? Thats all I ever did - the bonus i spose is that you are accurate to a fixed spot(i.e. the numbers) - but the drawback surely is that the technique is different in a real life situation (rarely is there a runway available)
Can anyone offer an insight into the EOL auto to unprepared surfaces? Especially for a low inertia machine where run-on is inevitable? (or a light turbine in low wind)
