Grand Morning to All
Thanks for all the positive comments on my pix; always inspiring
Turbulence, hmmmm rather huge turbulence plus wind shear, is all to common here, You just learn to live with it
How much + - on the VSI????? don't really care, it's often hard up against the VSI bump stop on the way down, so much higher ROD than 3,000fpm
Rotor-droop in a B3+?? never happened to me
Yep the best ROC keeps reducing as You climb, above 20,000' it's 30-35knots, above 23,K' it's around 25knots indicated
For Rescue landings above 20,000' I need to be ultra light, so floor, seats, tools, second battery are all out & then I try to manage fuel so as to land with around 40~50litres & yes the fuel light is on, so then I turn on the fuel pump whenever the light comes on
as for sucking air........I believe if You fly in trim there's no risk for that, turbulence though
All flights/altitudes/landings are approved by my office & Director of Ops. otherwise I would not do them
Cheers to Life
