Post becoming big time anti-Canadian, thought I better step in. Gloves off.
Consensus seems that there are two effects, one where air recirculates, another where it doesn't. With both of them the helicopter descends and sufficient power to normally stop the descent is applied. Yes, in Canada we call these VRS and SWP respectively. Most of the world uses VRS. Some strange types confusingly apply at least two names to the first condition of flight mentioned. They're the ones that screwed up the terminology.
Overpitching is used elsewhere to describe the second condition. A comment was made that since its already in use why not adopt it. NEWS FLASH, same argument can be said for SWP.
There's also the 'pull out the dictionary' argument. Settling with power would mean very little if it described a condition where a small amount of power were applied. Perhaps the intent of that terminology was settling with FULL power, or settling with NORMALLY SUFFICIENT power. I'm not protecting my country, just don't see what the big deal is, eh.
Pick up stick, pick up gloves, five minutes and a game misconduct....worth it.
p.s. Not really mad, just wanted to join in.
