Full & free rotors running
Is one able to give a superior a good slapping for these types of wake ups? or is several rounds at the bar enough to sort it
I was told that part of the R22 certification called for a full lateral cyclic input left---right in the hover..............true/false (would be interesting to watch though)
Rotorbike also hit on a good one to look out for......... Incorrect replacement of the collective (locking pins not engaged).
I know of one instance where during a check ride the examiner pulled the sucker out
when luckily at height doing a demo.
Imagine if this happened when doing a auto...............yeeehaa!
When replacing duals, I give all controls a full & free as they go in, My pre-starts always include full & free too.
I Remember back home in NZ, in 500's because the pedals are "spring loaded" and will go to full Left with no feet on, the pilots will pull one off, reverse it then put it back to hold both pedals in neutral.
Yep, can recall at least one 500 lifting, rapidly rotating then attempting to smite the earth ( and losing). Obviously the full & free was ommited prior to pulling pitch.
