So what do you think? Am I going to have issues swapping back and forth (especially early in my heli training)? Or is it a non-issue?
I think there is a big difference between SCK at 400 hours with no helicopter experience, and the responses from experienced aviators with oodles of hours.
I would be very reluctant to encourage SCK to be following his plan of action until he is settled in to helicopter flying: the risk of following an incorrect response is just too high at that stage of training.
