I still teach incipient vrs and in particular the areas where it is most likely to happen i.e. downwind landings and low and slow aerial photography going round and round a target
It is absolutely essential that it is taught. I show students that in a 300 and 500 that the machines vibrate when losing translational lift I remind a student to check their vertical speed as the onset of this rumble if more than 500ft a min think about going round ! One can have a 500ft vertical descent in either machine with less than 20 its and pull collective and it will climb. Get that to 700 to 800 ft and I start breaking into a sweat and have my body weight poised over the collective ( i am 100kgs ) in case the lever is unexpectedly pulled up !
People are right the standard of training is woeful everyone seems to concentrate on pointless exercises such as Vor tracking for instance and not on the more important things !
