All… many thanks for this food for thought.. .The fix differs according to the circumstances, but in most of those circumstances – anything other than low and slow – I’m persuaded of the value of RRPM above airspeed.. .That being so - I’ve got a thing about spending so much time teaching people to land engine-off, and so little time teaching them to get into autorotation in the first place after an engine failure… ie, no sudden throttle chops in an R22 etc. I don’t care much about bouncing it, rolling it, whatever, in a real emergency – you’ll mostly walk away. But the fatal accidents I can think of resulted from not reacting quickly enough to engine failure. Terminal every time.. .Should we not be teaching students that if it goes quiet in the cruise (at circuit height or above), they should always flare like a crazy man, a real nose-in-the-air job, while the lever is going down? And especially (in order to keep the thread vaguely glued to the original premise) when climbing.
