Ask the guys who chopped off their tail booms...wait you can't. 

 

Satoshi method is the best.

there's really no reason to ever get into VRS.

You don't see guys going out and doing full stalls in swept-wing jets and such. Too risky. Better to avoid those flight regimes altogether. We helicopter pilots don't have the benefit of stall-warners and stick-pushers, but our attitude should be the same: Avoidance. You have to be a real dunce to get into VRS. If you're coming down steeply and slowly (i.e. below ETL) and you're not sure where the wind is, you must be *hyper* aware of indications that you're entering VRS/SWP. In real life, VRS never happens up at a safe altitude where there's plenty of room to recover. It happens down low, at the bottom of a bad approach. And if it does happen then, you're probably going to crash no matter what technique you try to apply. So don't focus so much on how to get out of it - focus more on not getting into it.

SWP and stalling a jetliner is not apples to apples. Nothing in helicopters is apples to apples with jumbo Jets. Dunce.

Agree w/VRS guy.  There's absolutely no excuse for civilian pilots to not know where the winds are from. Not that Im holier than thou, I learned from the outset never to get trapped by Winds, Wx or wires.  Retired now, had a good career, & a safe one. ( not to say I had plenty of oh sh-t moments, but that was my own doing.

Both are unnecessarily risky. In swept-wing airplanes, pilots only do approaches-to-stalls, not the real thing. (Oh, and I never mentioned "jumbo" jets, just jets in general. Even pilots of small, swept-wing jets don't do full stalls.) Yet we helicopter pilots want to go out and actually get into VRS when we've graphically seen how risky it can be. Obviously, not all r/w flying is Point A to Point B, we all know that and nobody needs to point it out. But sooner or later, we all have to land. And that's where the accidents happen. We don't have to actually experience VRS to learn how bad it is, and how to avoid it.
