Imagine you're not a pilot. Or an engineer, or even particularly knowledgeable about aviation. You're a wealthy celebrity. A singer/songwriter, perhaps. Aircraft are just a means of travel to you.

You've read this thread and the others related to the Glasgow tragedy. You've read many conflicting versions about how to fly a helicopter. Would you get into a helicopter with any one pilot on this thread? Which one?

Do you think the singer is justified in feeling uncomfortable about flying in a craft that even the most experienced pilots cannot agree how to fly in an emergency?

Could this disagreement about how to fly the machine be at least a contributory factor in the Glasgow tragedy?
