Well it's certainly not me that's doing research on LTE for sure. I've always been quite critical of the usage of the term and particularly worried that it has done nothing for the confidence of young punters more than erode their confidence as some sort of bogeyman that is going to smite them from the sky.
I'd lay even odds that some of the accidents due to the scare factor of this bogey man are nothing more than a lack of training and understanding of the various maladies as described by shy torque, a hundred years ago.
Would you agree?
Those maladies are all that I demonstrate and teach recovery of. If some damm helicopter comany was so dim as to design a machine that didn't have a big enough T/R to counter torque at full throttle, when pulling a big hook load say, and those drivers there-of are also so dimm as to not be aware of it and be careful of it, well that's their problem.
but to pontificate on a litany of figure drawings of vortices that are supposedly attacking the T/R from various disastrous regions and confuse those issues with the above design problem is sheer lunacy.
I'll tell you one thing again, when you hit VRS state with the T/R, it's violent, It remains for a fraction of a second, and then the ceasing of it is just as violent. Been there done that. But to be the font of all wisdom on it without one hour of mustering or by just flying around in straight lines holding your mouth right is dead wrong.
LTE is purely and simply a lack of training for emergencies, proven again in Cairns.
ATSB should step up to the plate and make some recommendations to the CASA standards people to sort it.
