Epiphany; I think you'll find I did answer his Q. Like newfieboy said - it's no good looking for numbers or settings at a time like that. You just know when it's right because you know your a/c and its characteristics. 20' in an R44 is absolutely useless in a MiL 26
At the moment critique you need to feel that helo onto the deck not be looking in at rad alts or height measuring devices.
I suspect N5296 has yet to experience a juicy malfunction......
Rick1128: are you suggesting that dead mans curves exist for twin engine helos only when both their engines stop?
I think you'll find the curve is for one engine stopping on a two engined helo.
