Fenestron Dangers - What dangers

Page 12 of the booklet says -

"When the rate of turn accelerates - correct immediately - Don't let it run away on you !"

Now Sanae1249 - in your opinion would you not think there is a reason why the manufacturer puts a statement in like that. My guess is - it will hurt you if it does get away.

You say the guys at the factory thought it not necessary???

There is an abundance of information on the 16 Gazelle's that were lost in the British Army - reason - it got away from them. Sure, they are different machines but there is a common thread and there is a simple solution - Knowledge/information/information flow = SAFETY!!!!!!!

Surely if everyone in the industry - even the inexperienced, had the info that was published in 2001, then this accident may not have happened.

Simple - do what Frank R does - publish safety notices (I did not say flare at 70 feet and leave the rest to chance). Not everyone has the privilege of getting to the factory - so in SA pilots cannot be blamed as there is not an abundance of cash.

Me thinks this thread has been beaten to pieces and is now tired!!!!
