FAA Practical Test Standards for a 61.58 check for a type rated aircraft requires a demonstration of Power Settling. This maneuver has the ability to establish an aircraft in VRS. Having flown a recent Check ride in an H-64E, I was required to perform this maneuver. It goes against everything we were taught and in the case of the Crane resulted in a relatively harsh aircraft response. I questyion the FAA's requirement for this maneuver. Does anyone else share this belief?
