Everyone needs to be aware that sim programmes rely on OEM algorithms to simulate TR failures et al.
Currently it has been found that one major global helicopter manufacturer has not got his ducks in a row when it comes to the "data in" on their TR programme.

It has thrown up some serious questions by test pilots on the efficacy of it all.

The ONLY way to 'manage one's expectations' when it comes to handling TRF and TRCF is to talk to seasoned vets and those who have had one.
