Msg ID: 2795696 Vuichard method  +9/-2     
Author:I do not practice it
10/7/2023 9:00:27 AM

If I had a simulator I absolutely would. It's the lesser evil in swp close to the ground. Practicing the Vuichard At 2-3k feet puts the whole flight at risk for chopping the tail boom off. There have been accidents to show. 

losing the T/R at below ETL from that height is straight up a nightmare. Innovating flight techniques is something I really enjoy, but it's time to restrict that particular one to sims. I WOULD NOT let anyone talk me into doing it in flight.

Thats the method that chopped the tail boom off the B429 in Ohio with a Bell factory instructor on board.    Bell says the flight manual now states in is not an authorized manuver in any Bell helicopter.   Tail booms are not stressed for the manuver.   

In fact the only helicopter that the flight manual authorizes the manuver is the Robinson and Chinook.    

That manuver was carried over from that 1st class ARMY training and it is NOT a valid manuver.  

W4 know it all's.

I realize you are speculating here, unless you can cite an offical source.   Not saying you are incorrect, but I'm not accepting you being correct either!   IOW's, prove what you are saying beyond just saying it!

Instead of teaching the Vuichard maneuver we need to teach identification and great avoidance of vortex ring state. Another ARMY fail.

Let's suppose you are considering transitioning and are looking for encouragement and positive reinforcement from your co-pilot. This would be a very personal and private conversation. Management doesn't need to know this until you are ready to tell them.

definitely the big deal.  I taught early recognition and response of slightly decreasing collective and slight forward cyclic on initial detection.  Students later in career said it worked well.
