Unctuous,
Come on man, read the posts. Everything has been laid out as clear as day
for you. The rest of us get it! Those of us in the helicopter world
recognize that there was no living through the 2000fpm & 285ft scenario
whether it was assymm settling or normal. If it was a helicopter in that
situation (especially a 57000lb one!) we'd be dead too. If you really fly
helicopters you wouldn't have the slightest problem recognizing this! Time to move on mate.
