So imagine this scenario. You are a low time R22 pilot, and you have lifted off and are climbing out and notice that both needles are off the clock and the governor is switched off (forget about how you got into this situation). You switch on the governor and to your dismay it fails to bring things back into the green band. You at first think the needles are stuck up there for some reason but the last thing you want to do is roll off the throttle in case the horn is u/s too and you inadvertently lose RRPM, as it has been drilled into you that danger lurks down there. However a blade centrifugal force of 9 tons lives above the top of those meters as noted above.
So what do you do?
