I was just trying to say that when considering the options..... read this part again! "Not as much of a problem as running out of battery and falling from the sky from altitude, or shutting the bird off and hoping for a restart before impact, or even going manual and losing control, if it came down faster when you stayed too long and are facing watching the bird crash or the options I outlined, settling under power is the lesser of any outlined evils.
I am also not a pilot, I spent many hours as a crewman, military helicopters have some of the same problems as phantoms, 2400 horsepower, but 15,000 lbs. falling fast, when you are actually settling under power, there just isn't enough stick to save you, so pucker up !
No one I know said give it more throttle, you imagined that I guess.
The sink rate is what it is. There really is some buffer and if you could use a little more decent rate at altitude some crashes may be eliminated.
If you get out of it before you are on the ground, it is a learning experience, if not, the strut exits the top of the stub wing. |
