If the above is not a meaningless statement then why did this pair not follow what would appear to be very basic steps to recover
Notice how everything under the helicopter in the video is very small.
That's because it's "far away".
Or what we in aviation call "high up".

See how they started the exercise at 2500'.
See how the little Robinson lost 500', even though this was expected and pre-planned.

Now go and read the report again and tell us all how the crew of the 9 ton helicopter would recover from the unexpected onset of VRS (if that's what it was) from under 300'.
