Back to the original topic of the thread: the whole point of the "Vuichard" recovery technique is to get out of a vortex in situations where you don't have sufficient altitude for a standard recovery (i.e. lower collective and pick up speed before you raise collective again). This can be applicable e.g. when long lining and in this situation you should have HOGE power (i.e. you're not settling because you have insufficient power).
