i should have asked before how old was the machine and was it still matched up on components?
re this;
See SN-29. "Airplane Pilots High Risk When Flying Helicopters"
I don't think that was needed,
The gentleman had been check and training on banderante I believe, a definite plus for instilling in his mind a process to think through all considerations for emergencies - always. He has also just had the exposure of new training, not as if he had been sitting around for years and decided to go for a fly. It would be a very strange instructor that didn't show him the pitfalls of high time F/W vs low time R/W.
