I have to say that I am gob smacked that so many professional pilots seemed to have been trained so badly and or their opc's are done without an auto from a cruise speed
Or am I missing something ? it is bleeding obvious that you have to apply aft cylic ( from a fast cruise)as the lever goes down otherwise you are in a very uncomfortable nose down attitude. Which will then require a massive amount of collective as you load the disc to recover attitude with cylic.
Again have I missed something here ?
