Funny about how training affects you though - I was doing autos terminating in a hover in that thing and was a real wussy about sucking in the power at the bottom after rolling the throttle back on thanks to only flying turbines. Bounced the skids once because I feared I was going to "over-torque" it.  |
Autos to a hover is typical wussy civilian rotorcraft flying to begin with!
That's what skid shoes, or in your case wheels, were for!!
