Flights with Tim
I did the RHC course with Tim in the early 80s, when he recounted a tale, where an instructor, having told his passenger to disembark and arrange the refuelling, then leapt thoughtlessly into the hover. From the LH seat.
This of course places the C of G too far left, and full right cyclicwill not stop the left drift.
Being a man of "belated foresight" he then decided to hover sideways around the corner, to avoid crashing outside the FAA's offices.
But on the way, he found that by lying across the RIGHT seat, the drift could be arrested, and a safe landing made.
Which instructor? Ask Tim.
