You're also at sea level... at 5500' pressure altitude and ISA +12, the R22 is a different beast.
Bosbefok (what a name, a man with your intelligence...
)
Winds 30 kts, gusting 35 kts, no problem, but 5 kts gusting 35 kts could be a different ball game.
It was an instructor's check ride, so a great lesson for all in any way you look at it:
Auto's can be dangerous.
Auto's that go wrong can be survivable, thats why they keep on doing them in training. (Robbie's crash really well.)
In gusting wind, take care.
At 5500' AMSL, take care.
At sea level and no wind, take care.
All said in Safety Notice (SN) 38 is true.
Sorry for the owner!
Fortunately the guys are OK and I wish them a speedy recovery. Any clues to who they were?
They are not the first and they were not the last...
