So the pilot NEVER controls throttle/fuel flow to the engine.
Not always so on modern helos either. Many have a system where a collective input does directly modify the fuel flow in order to
anticipate the inevitable small change in rotor RPM that will inevitably follow. Why wait for a large increase in collective to cause a subsequent drop in rotor RPM due to the increased load when it can be anticipated directly?
Thread creep I know, but there really is too much aggression/sarcasm on the pages of contributions to this thread.
Tragic as this accident was, I don't see why this particular fatal accident is worthy of any special consideration over other fatal aviation accidents discussed here on PPRuNe. Am I missing something here??
