Back on track.

Fw to Rw conversions I've noticed.


Tendancy to try to fly the approach fast and use fwd cyclic (nose down pitch) to aid the descent.


Pedals during turns.


Trying to flare the HELO a la aeroplane onto the ground.


Checklist fixation (ok this is a doubled edged one but, lets be real the R22 is not a complex a/c to start & run up).


Flying to join the extended centreline for the 5Nm finals.


That loverly Fw trick of adding throttle to make the thing start (no, no, no!)

And once again as with the 1st, using fwd cyclic to descend.




uuuummmm? the rest is about normal for ab-initio or otherwise.

Small imputs, getting used to a new attitude picture, co-ordination, different terminology blah- blah - blah.............


You'll love it!!
John.

Ps: hopefully included something to annoy somebody.
