@Bellrider and TC: you both talk about situations in which the VT is not relevant. If you havenŽt got the power to hover, youŽll settle no matter what. And if youŽre in a 5000ft/min uncontrollable descent, then it might be too late anyways.
VT is for when youŽll be guaranteed to crash with the standard recovery because youŽre too close to the ground. At 100 feet AGL, it does make a huge difference whether you need 30 feet to recover or 150 feet.
