Blender, you forgot the R44 LTE video thread. Maybe we could start a list of undesirable pilots. Preferably in German. And give them all a big patch to wear on their flight jackets to indicate their status. Maybe a yellow patch. And then... somebody stop me please...

Looking at this a number of times:

I thought I might have been guilty of a few of these mistakes...

However:

a. I know where the wind is and how strong it is (ie I would not turn downwind at low a/s if i could avoid it)
b. Having experienced LTE at heights between 800 and 3000 ft I would not want to do it again.!
c. After scaring the living daylights out of myself (and pax), I would not have come to a hover in a single which would have resulted in a crash landing due to the lack of a suitable aircraft configuration i.e. auto as opposed to smash.

Knob, whichever why you want to put it!.

Lesson learnt?...i think not!

I can honestly say that video was a stark reminder of how not to fly.

Ralph
