Cut it out LU! the only one twisting words has been you.
I covered this in another thread that it is their suggestion (and I do not care about the UK)
and NOT a restriction, as it is not in part 2.
and I'll use your own words again:
[quote] when I mention these recommendations as contained in the POH I am repeating those words and not words I constructed to warn any Robinson pilots out there. The inclusion of an unnumbered page in the POH even though it shows FAA approval means that technically that page is not a part of the POH as it does not appear in the amendments index in the POH. Therefore the suggestions can be ignored.<hr></blockquote>
You did not repeat the POH as stated, you omit material as you see fit, specifically the word "recommendations."
DO NOT CONTINUE TO INTERPRET POH MATERIAL AS YOU SEE FIT. IT IS NOT A FLIGHT RESTRICTION, BUT A SUGGESTION. IT IS NOT IN SECTION 2 !!!!!
If it were so dire, it would also be included for low time pilots on the added limitations section page at the end of section 2, where wind limits gust spreads, etc. are layed out for SFAR73.
And I might add that all those suggestions made on that page are:
COMMON SENSE ITEMS
Common sense is something you seem to be lacking, as we continue on this merry go round.
So let's go thru it once again:
1) Maintain cruise speeds between 60KIAS and less than 0.9 Vne, but no lower than 57KIAS.
Gee, well who wouldn't (for most normal ops)? I cruise at 75-80 most of the time.
2) Use maximum "power-on" RPM at all times during forward flight.
Wowzers! The governor does that for us! And if not, pilots are perfectly capable of doing so, have done it prior to having a governor onboard.
Again, common sense: RPM = Life.
3) Avoid slideslip during flight, maintain in-trim flight at all times.
Well we do, unless we are performing a maneuver that will take us out for a moment. IT IS NOT A FLIGHT RESTRICTION, BUT A RECOMMENDATION.
4) Avoid large, rapid forward cyclic inputs during forward flight, and abrupt control inputs in turbulence.
HELLO!!!! DUH!!!! Please tell me a heli pilot who doesn't know this.
So again, here we are, the flight mishaps you want to contribute are due to people who are not flying sensably, or are in training mishaps. Period.
The ONLY reason I believe you return to this certification issue is that you have been beaten to death on the dreded 18 degree offset issue you dream of.
Give me all the recommendations or restrictions for sideslips you want, it's common sense to maintain trim whenever possible to begin with.
There is no sudden death waiting in the Robbie, even if I decide to fly in a sideslip all day long. Even reaching 10 degrees off my course, meeting the requirement for design, not certification.
Schedule that ride yet?
