Bit difficult to actually do anything else in training as I am sure if engine seized the result would be the same as a piston ! Never had the turbine donkey go in flight had one shut down as we pulled pitch to go to hover but again it was a run down as there was contamination in fcu filter.
Crab you are quite right do try and chop throttle at inconvenient times. Only once stopped the engine for real. In a 300 have to hold the throttle against the "Spring" otherwise as you pull full lever at bottom the correlation gives you about 2200 rpm.Student did a throttle chop as pre take off check all was ok until I throttle chopped it over the airfield downwind at 500 ft to find to my horror the engine stopped. The student very Cooley said you have control !big lesson to instructor try it from your side as well !
As for the holiday now in Addo, just love walking in to see elephants, and be Jesus was the big bull big, puts a new meaning on things when on foot
