FH1100: I think you've got traction there, but only just.
What I think you are saying is that DURING IVRS, the VT has merit. If this is correct, I happen to agree with you.
Where I think the problems lie, are as follows:
1. People who describe the VT as a panacea to fully developed VRS, clearly do not understand the situation they are describing.
2. A lot of people do not understand the difference between IVRS and FDVRS.
3. During FDVRS, the cyclic will not do what you ask of it.
4. Ab initio's and clearly low timers (possibly others) have never been shown IVRS or how to recover, other than by word of mouth or in a book.
PS: Be careful mentioning SWP! A different ball park and almost certainly too late to employ the VT, I would suggest!
