VR

I always thought that :
1. Establish Out of ground effect hover. Induced Air is pulled directly through the rotor system
2. As we descend we add upwind component which opposes the induced airflow of our OGE hover.
3. This results in Vortices being created from the blade root and moving outwards along the blade if more power is added.

To get out of the VR we need to clear the vortices. The most common is to gain airspeed forward... but this may not always be possible.

So a movement to the front, side or even backward sufficient to clear the vortices will help get out of VR... pull pitch and recover.

For training its any indication of airspeed....
