Whirlygig, you don't need to do quickstops to impress the blokes.

But I agree. Military may use it yes, but not many ppl (h) holders find themselves in a position which requires use of said quickstop. Never arrived into a hot LZ in a robbo myself. Although anywhere near Liverpool could be called that.

Hiro Protagonist, The term 'incipient' means 'beginning to exist or appear'. This means you are demonstrating the symptoms just as it starts but not letting it fully develop. That would be bad. Show a student what to expect and how not to be there in the first place. I guess after the incipient stage, there is only Vortex Ring State (Settling with power). It's not as easy to get into as you may think. But fully developed?

I feel this is being done to death and there will always be people on the fence about it. A lot of instructors maybe just don't understand what they're teaching and make too big a deal out of it all??

I agree with Nick though.
