The recovery therefore is to lower the lever fully and apply fwd cyclic to restablish IAS before raising the collective.
That's my understanding. Now where's a Test Pilot when you need one..........
That's all agrees with my knowledge, however as we all know from actually flying in fully developed VRS, it actually takes quite a while to get full control back to the cyclic after you enter auto. You can be holding a lot of sick forward for quite a while before the nose drops.
The other thing is that fully developed VRS has a higher rate of descent than auto so fully lowering should instantly reduce your descent?
