500e, you do not state what model of aircraft it is for ? I may have one for the R22 from when I started training but not sure if it is still in calibration ?

I always carried a set of streamlined car keys.....they seem to fall at about the same angle....but at half the rate of a 500.

I fell to see a need for a "chart"....all one has to do is look between yer feet as that is about all the 500 will do with comfort.....and little room for thinking yourself into a pickle.

SASless 500 isnt that bad in auto, espically if you go from 130 kt cruise. 300 is far worse.

From 9,000 feet AGL over a wilderness area of timber in Alaska it was!

Way...way...way too much time to think about what was going on!

Much better if it is at 130 knots and 100 feet agl!
