"Use flared entries into Auto, despite what folk may say..."
What do folk say? I've only ever heard people say "Use flared entries into Auto."
The 1.1 seconds Frank Robinson talks about is if you don't come back on the stick.
I've had demonstrated from 90kts a throttle roll-off in an R22 with no lowering of collective, but Nr maintained solely by steady backward movement of the stick, for second after second after second... I wasn't timing it precisely, but it was pretty impressive.
I have been unable to find evidence of any engine failure in an R22 that was not due to fuel starvation, oil shortage or carb heat mismanagement. Anyone know of one?
