SAS - "UK Trained" are you not reading the Autorotation thread?? Clearly we in UK all knew about the "Best kept Secret" and you yanks did not!!
Shame nobody told the 8 candidate instructors I have had under training this year, all who failed to apply aft cyclic to enter auto, crashing the SIM in the process.
There are none so blind as those that cannot see!!
Peter Gillies is 100% correct. By the time the pilot reacts the NR is already seriously decayed. The only way to get it back is to flare, meaning pull the cyclic back.
SAS remember, we Brits are better than everyone else and if we have accidents we will blame anything and everything.....except ourselves. Pilot error......that's what Johnny Foreigner does!!
