TFlyingSquirrel and Rotorrokie,
He must have dropped the equivalent of a 30 story building, when we started we were about 300 feet above the highest building, the big brown one in the back, when he came out he was at about the height of a 6 or 7 story building.
I don't think he really did anything to recover from LTE, he just fought the aircraft all the way to the ground, and from the audio tape he said it without saying a single word.
I have flown that very same ship a lot and I have had the same thing happen to me, but it never went past 20 or 30 degrees of yaw before I reduced power and put the nose down, whenever I operate at that weight I leave myself plenty of air down below and try to keep the airspeed as much as possible, that ship is used to relay microwave signals off the ground a lot and often the ground transmitter is located between high buildings which leaves you doing very small circles above, have to be extremely conservative doing that stuff.
