I did wonder at one stage whether our sheep-loving brethren on the far-away isle were perhaps practicing a t/r control failure but, given the auto-intro, one supposes not .. unless of course such failure was additionally simulating an over-speed .. and which I suppose is perfectly possible!
In reality most engine failures in singles require zero (or near zero) forward speed touch-downs and these, in my view, are where one should hone one's skills.
The 500
is 'nippy' (read descends quickly) during autos but I remember too that her main rotors were remarkably responsive with just slight manipulations of pitch required to enliven or tame Nr.
The 500 remains the best 'fun' I've ever had in a rotorcraft. Oh, except for this time I flew a Singaporean model in a 206 but that, as they say, is another story.
