Re: R22 Down in Stanger
We misunderstand each other. I presumed that the student did flare at the end of that auto and just screwed up the landing part. Did he lose his life? Surely poling it in without flaring would have that effect. My argument is power recovery at the flare is different from an EOL - different pedal inputs, decrease in tail rotor authority etc, not whether to flare or not.
Robinson safety notices are vital reads for students, they do after all, come out as a result of accidents. When I learnt to fly I can’t recall having to do a “solo low flying exercise”. Sounds like asking for trouble to me.
