Whatever the reason, if you get an unexplained power loss in an R22, after the inevitable " this can't be happening to me", you have to slam the lever on the bottom as fast as you can move your hand.
I'm not sure that's a good idea. Do that at 80kts and you risk a negative G event! Surely better to flare a little as you gently lower the lever eh?
