alan_k Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I take it the downdraft from the rotors contributed to the twist? Cheers, Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 At a guess, I would be tempted to agree. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptwizz Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Why would someone do that? If I wanted to give an extreme example of avoiding local turbulence (or 'rotor'), I couldn't do much better than 'directly beneath a hovering helicopter'. I sometimes wonder whether an individuals skill in recovering from a bad situation isn't outweighed by their foolishness in getting into that situation in the first place.

Steve Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I'd wondered the same thing., My biggest concern around here is avoiding Chinooks by as large a distance as possible. Launching under a rotor does seem a bit extreme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
