How to Land a Helicopter After Your pilot Has Been Incapacitated
In all seriousness - what about the following scenario?
PPL fixed wing going for first ride in R22 with instructor.
Flies machine straight and level in the cruise well enough, can turn (feels very strange not really using the pedals, and just a gnat's touch on the cyclic) - in the LFA can't really hover to save himself - ends up 40 feet in the air and drifting all over the place.
In the cruise back to the airfield, instructor karks it.
Could said PPL make a run on landing by himself?
Bloody machine - why does one frickin control input always mean another must immediately follow??!!
