(This is nothing, I know.) First flight in a 206. First flight at the controls of any helo at all, in fact - like a learner driver taking lesson #1 in a 911 rather than a Ford Escort. It's SAS-equipped as well, so even the hovering is flattering; then we go for a circuit. Gentle pressures forward on the cyclic and up on the collective, ground plummets away. 3-400 ft, the gearbox noise changes a little, as though it's settling on its bearings. Instinctively I looked up and back toward the MRGB - and the instructor did as well.
It was nothing. That's what both of us said, anyway. Afterwards.
