Hello All, Its been a while.
Excellent topic.
Just one thing I'd like to point out, maybe it's symatics, who knows.
I keep hearing people associate "Settling With Power" with "Vortex Ring State". IMHO, and many others in the Check & Training department, settling with power is not VRS, but a case of the A/C simply not having the power available to arrest the ROD on landing, i.e. "Hot and heavy above RTOW to an offshore platform with little or no wind".
I think where the confusion comes in is related to an old military expression "Power Settling" which is in fact the same as VRS.
What do you think Nick?
Cheers,
OffshoreIgor
