Hughesy - I think that
Hold the cyclic still, then gently aft.
and
Also, just slow the hang down. What's a 10kt reduction in airspeed?
is pretty much the best advice for Robinson drivers.
The second one should help prevent the event in the first place and the second, especially the pause before gently loading the disc is the best 'one-size fits all' recovery strategy.
i didn't want to create a cyclic vs collective argument - simply highlight what is going on in the low G environment so pilots can make their own educated decisions.
Obviously the best decision is not to get in a Robbie in the first place (I have promised my wife not to ever do so again)
