You need as dense a forest as possible - the biggest thing to get in to your head is that you're going to hit something.

Interestingly, this is one of the best discussions in my CRM courses

Fly to survive!

Engine parameters and rotor speed limitations are there, in the main, to ensure that everything reaches TBO at the right time.

Even Frank R will tell you at the school " the engine (in an R22) is rated to 160hp - dont crash just because you didn't want to exceed the MAP limit for the day!"

Rotor overspeed, vne exceed - who cares? when it comes the time to put all your training to good effect - LIVE!
