Most of the time I agree, but Airspeed is also potential energy in a helicopter as it can be converted into NR.

FH1100, sticking to your guns. So, EFATO: cyclic back or collective down? Low speed bucketing, collective down or cyclic back?

Yes, am aware of the many times me cyclic back would work....but "very very often" and "always" are subjectively applied to support your otherwise good idea in certain circumstances.

I will stick to my guns too..... It is not an appropriate mantra to be robotically training helicopter pilots to do. It is a great skill to teach them to maintain and exploit potential energy after recovering NR.

Yes, I know I will not get a free beer from Peter - such is the price of my convictions.
