Author:In clockwise turning helicopters
12/31/2023 9:33:49 PM

Is it all the same in "eurocopters"? There are british and french flight instructors at my flight school who say that clockwise turning helicopters are superior to Bell Helicopters becuase they do not get into Settling With Power as easily as Bells. Is there any truth to this? 

 

Thanks. Phil.

The instructors who told you that were either joking or should not be instructors.  Rotor rotational direction has no bearing on VRS.

thanks. I think they are joking but I'm not a seasoned pilot. Still working on my solo.

Funny because I remember the  pilot ferrying Life Lion's original  AS360 to KHC & he "settled W/pwr" on the way from Grand Parrie to West Chester.
