What is the correct procedure for a total loss of power in transition from hover to flight at around 100 feet in an R-22?...(40kts for climb out with max power applied)
Logic suggests that its going to be a case of getting the collective down, pushing the cyclic forwards to gain some airspeed (perhaps might struggle to reach 60kts) and prepare for a run on landing with limited peddle control...
Oh, and switch off the fuel and call a Mayday
Im sure we would all be more confident if we could practice engine offs to the ground, but I guess the cost of all those bent helicopters is not worth it
