Thanks again to Helmet Fire. I didn't know that the Aussie Army has this revised practice - trying to keep height at 50 ft AGL while spinning is extremely disorienting, let alone trying to distinguish LTT/LTE/LTA at the same time. I agree with Aser on the Van Nuys crash. The pilot had relatively little left pedal forward and was caught out badly. Reminds me of this one in Port Melbourne a couple of years ago. The event was caught on its gyro camera (which explains the stable picture) but the ship spun and descended some 1800 ft before recovering. I think it was caught downwind:YouTube - Helicopter looses control
