Every inch counts. I duck.
My only question is how is ducking your head going to help with a -60?![]()
Per NATOPS: May: Condition of futurity.
WARNING: Rotor arc may dip as low as 4 feet.
Smiles, and all that, of course.
What Gator is getting at, is while the rotor may dip to 4' with an AFCS/Trim fail (and an unguarded cyclic) any sort of hiccup due to AFCS crapping out, or the pilot sneezing is likely to be less than that.
Hence, I duck.
No. I duck my self to buy myself an extra foot or so..
Just because it CAN go down to 4' (in the front) does not mean it is going that low.
And I come in from the side.
Not much of an issue on the B/F/H, with only one door. Of course it's possible, but I didn't see it happen much because of the practical aspect.Quick question that just came up for us out here. It actually fits pretty nicely with this thread so I'll put it here. For you 60 bubbas - obviously we always enter and exit from the 3 or the 9. So what's your take about having folks enter or exit from both sides simultaneously?
