Been flying in Australian Army since 1994.

I trained in the US on Chinooks and I don't ever recall doing an Australian 'decel' - they had a quickstop technique called the 'Australian Slide' , basically a turn .....(!!!!!loads of inflow) ... flare quickstop.

Also had a bizarre way of folding their maps they all called the 'Australian Fold' that I could never even begin to master.

Just finished a course on the R22 and don't reckon anything with the words 'rapid' (apart from entering auto) would be appropriate.

But good luck
