Hovering, beyond any shadow of a doubt. Oh that first time (hovering--I must make that clear with this crowd
) was exciting! The instructor says to give it a go on the ramp area while surrounded by $20M of private jets parked there. Let's just say that this was my first introduction to how brave helicopter CFIs are
After that we went to a very large, frozen lake (it was winter)
I was an add on from fixed wing, so radios and nav and that sort of thing was not a worry.
