S76 question for Nick Lappos
Just wondered what the reasoning was behind the 12 second spot turn limitation for the '76? The aircraft would certainly appear capable of a higher rate of turn in the hover whilst still fully controllable, not that one's tried it of course....... And just to dig a little further, should it be taken therefore that if you only turn through 180 degrees then not less than 6 seconds is required, etc,etc? . .If so, perhaps a better wording in the Flight Manual might be along the lines of 'hover turn rate not to exceed 30 degrees per second...'. .Thanks.
