Malabo. FAR /Aims are written by whom? I sometimes wonder. The theory is fine and the wind will be going horizontal at the surface but as the ground effect over water is reduced so will the height the wind goes horizontal. Then Sir Issac tells you that you have inertia regardless of where the wind is so can you overcome it?.
Listen to Nigel and SAS. We all tend to get a bit complacent (do we all apply the 10 miles recommended clearance from TS?) but nature will creep up and get you if you are not wary.
Nigel and SAS I would like to use your posts in my classes, if I may, so the students realise that it is not just my opinion that TS and helicopters do not mix well.
Yuall fly safe.
