Thanks Senior Pilot yes there it is, interesting to see that the same eye opening experience has happened to another poor unsuspecting pilot.
This did not happen to me and I was told about it third hand. I guess I was surprised to hear that it was not common knowledge amongst R44 pilots considering the usual response is to put the puppy down before it fly’s to pieces. Education about standard recovery procedures should be given to all pilots hopefully avoiding a low timer wrecking their helicopter and passengers while getting it on the ground (in a panic).
I did try to search for the phenomenon but no one has called it chugging before. It would have been nice to have a thread devoted to ‘chugging’ instead of having it lost into the depths of the 1080 post novel that this thread has become.
Can I be un-merged?
