Combine the cheapest and least forgiving product out there with the pool of least experience pilots and low currency and what do you do you expect.

I am surprised having recently arrived from the fixed wing world that minimum currency in a helicopter is just two hours (including a checkout) per year, that seems altogether to little. No matter what machine you fly commercially you are being checked every six months and of course flying (hopefully) more regularly.

In my very limited time on helicopters I must admit that I enjoyed my 22 time but she was the most challenging and least forgiving to fly.
