I carry out mainly longline vertical reference work where we seem to flirt with VRS on a fairly regular basis. I have always found that increasing power and applying right cylic and right pedal the most "minimum altitude loss method" of VRS recovery although it has always seemed slightly at odds with conventional wisdom. Your explanation above has helped explain why. In your opinion is this as good a method of recovery as is available or should we looking for other flight profiles. I have played with many, but the above procedure seems to work the best for Anti-clockwise turning rotor-systems.
