Explain for the civilian pls?
Refusal is the speed (corresponding to the runway remaining) on the takeoff roll wherein you can no longer stop on the runway. After the copilot calls "refusal", even if you lose an engine: you're going flying.

It's also called "GO" in other aircraft.
Best quote I've EVER heard in the cockpit was my dad during the family sim times.
We're on the deck and I do the spiel before lifting off, and my dad goes "What's THIS do??" as he simultaneously pulls the collective to 160% torque. With the tq light flashing and our coming off the deck at 2K+ ft/min he was completely oblivious that anything was wrong. I was laughing my ass off..

And strangely, that's what you probably did on FAM-1.
It seems first time helo pilots come in 2 flavors. Those who are afraid of the collective and and therefoe do the skid dance, and those who overtorque and spin you all in on fell swoop.

Lets just say that flying with mishipmen was a workout for my left arm.
Says the guy with Puma Swede as his avatar.
There's got to be something clever about pictures of Puma Swede and a right-arm workout...but it's Saturday morning, only on the first cup of coffee and I'm too lazy.
EDIT: But Kbay stepped up and was faster on the draw.

It was how I maintained "balance"
It, too, is Saturday morning here on the Left Coast, and I'm on my second cup of coffee.
And why are you up at 5am? Saturday FCF or just getting home from Friday night are the only acceptable answers (unless you have kids).
Flying SNAs at NHA most of the time I had to tell them it is not a TH-57 pull some torque it's ok. The one Italian I took flying I had to guard the collective constantly.
