Epiphany and other drivers down here talking about the 412 bounce at MPOG and the slight two inches of pitch to be pulled to fix it are damm right to me!

I usually fly a pair of EP's, allmost identical twins ships; they have the same bounce attitude at start up and minimum pitch on ground.
The only change is my arse-feeling of the onset of that vibration.

Not assuming the bounce onset is what happened on the roofpad in Insbruck, I simply don't have any information about it apart what I see in the video.
The "red blanket" is the red of the paint scheme of the ship being defocused by the relative small definition of the video.

Just saying that the inadventent bounce onset + some AP's disingaged for any reason (may be inverter OFF check) + the brutal pitch pull on a 15 floors building (pinnacle) without strong visual references in a ****-scary moment may be the explanation of what had happen and COULD happen to every 412 driver with less than desired experience.
