One of the reasons I became an instructor, after flying the first 1000 hours of my license... I got to hone those emergeny skills with tons of demonstrating practice.
1. FLY THE AIRCRAFT.
2. As stated above do not refer to this as stuck left/right, it gets too confusing when switching aircraft types.
3. Take your time; make as many approaches as needed.
4. No matter what anyone says—there is no text book way to do it.
good advice Gordy
and I like this one from SASless...
Ass, Tin, Ticket.... in that order. Save your own Ass, Save the helicopter, and worry about the license after doing the first two.
