Thanks for that: I recently posted on a thread "how long have you got?" (after the engine quits.)

I said that in my days as a R22 instructor, I would often chop the throttle if the student dared to take his/her hand off the throttle during climb. And I never once kept the revs in the green, even though I dumped the collective myself.

Graphic? You bet. Necessary? I think so. Dangerous??????

Can I say: I was much younger then. But in a sense, nearer to death than I am now.
