Well the point I am making really, is that during my PPL and CPL training, I was always trained to let the machine run on until it stopped. It was never mentioned to me or discussed at any point during the 6 years I have been flying helos. I think it's a pretty important point don't you? - especially as forward speed is the killer. " Oh yeah, if you ever have to make a real EOL and a tree is coming up quick, you can lower the collective gently and you'll stop quicker. " I always ramble on about poor quality instruction. I don't know if i've received a whole barrel load of ****e instructors or I just have a far deeper interest than most. I suspect a fair quanity of both. Do any UK FI's out there even mention this when training students ?
