Question....
Is it taught, ie; part of a standard offshore flying training syllabus, to "fly the disc" whilst on a lively moving deck with rotors running? Up to now, I asumed this was fairly standard practice - but on the subject coming up for discussion, a couple of experienced pilots have stated they keep the cyclic central.
Most pilots I think, more or less naturally, input some opposite cyclic to the roll or pitch if they start feeling uncomfortable.
I seem to remember being taught this technique way back in the Navy, but can't remember it being specifically discussed or demonstrated during offshore training - bearing in mind that initial training DLP's and recurrency checks are almost always flown to a stable deck.
Any thoughts on the pros and cons of this?
