Why do we do it that way ?
After much debate with a friend of mine I cannot answer his question, so I thought I would see if anyone can help.. .. .My friend is a 10,000 hr ish fixed wing instructor and has ingrained in his brain, Power Attitude Trim to enter a climb. . .. .When flying with me recently he asked why helicopter pilots fly Attitude Power Trim to enter a climb.. .. .Obviously his method will work in a helicopter, so why is it that way around.. .. .[Steps back and awaits much ridicule <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="confused.gif" /> ]
