What stopped me from becoming an integral part of sovereign territory ?........Training ! Two parts to that. 1stly fixed wing stall training and recovery, (demonstrated and actual) and 2ndly rotary demonstration of incipient condition and hands on induction and recovery. Whilst all the "POF" is very interesting, even a generation on, much better and brighter heads than mine are still disputing the theory behind VR. From a practical point of view, trainers,..... do please keep this in the syllabus, It is a challenging exercise for all involved,............but from the box marked "Helicopters - things that will one day bite you on the bum", this has to be near the top of the pile
