On the VRS issue, to clarify - all helos are susceptible and it can be serious, but the worst case is that the helo sinks - pilot pours on pitch and power - sink gets worse - pilot says B***er, it's VRS, pushes collective fwd, flies out of vortex.
Really? What exactly happens when you push the collective forward in a helo?
