Sikorsky S-76: Ask Nick Lappos

[Brian Abraham]

It can be a bit scary on here sometimes

Wanted to leave the door open for a fulsome reply 212man.
Fact is what you see in ops can be quite scary. SAR 76 doing a winch from about 100' at an airshow and on departure overflies all the parked aircraft whilst accelerating from the hover. SAR 76 taxing onto a runway threshold for departure nil wind and taking off the "wrong way" if OEI accountability was to be a consideration. Taxi technique was often an eye opener - pull a hand full of collective, jam the cyclic forward and control the ensuing taxi with brakes.
did I leave any out?
