Ok, my fault, but we are slightly getting away from my original question here. (Shy yes you are probably correct about the speed. It was a while ago!)
I am well aware of standard recovery techniques.
My question is merely this.
Why is vortex ring not instantly solved as soon as auto is entered?
The vortex should be disappearing above and behind you.
Yes you would still be slow with a high rate of descent, but with full control recovered, adding 30-40kts should be very quick plus it does take a little while for a new VRS to form as we all know from trying to enter it.
