reaching the fuellevers...
hy folks
everybody is talking about the copilot should reach the fuel-levers...
after a reaction time of some seconds (to know whats going on) you have already so much spin and centrifugal force that moving your hands will be hard you can not imagine...
i know personaly 2 pilots who had to deal with tailrotor losses..one in an alouette 3 and one in a puma...both (luckely) were still able to tell us what happens...after 2 turns it was quite impossible to move your body or hands because the centrifugal-force pushes you towards the door on your side...headphones or not tightend material was looking like "glued" to the windows...the only thing they could do was holding the collective...
which brings us back to the collectiv mounted throttles...
cheers and happy landings..
