Any truth to a story I heard?
I was told that the British Military used to practise EOL's to the ground with zero forward airspeed in the Bell 47.
So if its true how was it done? Just cut the power at 1000, nose up to zero attitude and drop, then pull the collective up to your armpit at about 15 feet?
Like I said someone told me so it's worth checking it out on PPrune.
