Whatever you're smoking, I suggest that you reduce the dose. LTE whilst filming another helicopter towing a banner (from a kilometre away) has morphed into one of your typical diatribes, bearing little or no resemblance to what everyone else is talking about.
Shut up, John. Just shut up. Evidently I wasn't the only one who understood that the LTE ship was towing the banner. You probably know the girl and feel some misplaced sense of responsibility to come to her defense. It reeks of reverse-toadyism. Probably one of these low-time wonders you keep pumping out while telling us what great pilots they are.
I'm still confused as to how an R-44, hitherto unknown to be afflicted with the dreaded LTE, could get into it this time. But hey, there's a first time for everything
Lucky she wasn't at 1000'.
Ask her about that, will you? Ask her how her helicopter managed a 1700' free-fall whilst she was doing...what?...at the controls. Then maybe go over the EP for LTE/LTA with her.
