Dangerous Student Errors Part 2 with Max Trescott | Ep. 004 of the Helicopter Training Podcast

This is the second in a 3-part series where I join Max Trescott on The Rotary Wing Show Podcast to discuss some of the dangerous student errors in helicopter training and how instructors can prevent mistakes from becoming accidents. Check out part 1    • Dangerous Student Errors Part 1 with Max T...   if you missed it.

This episode covers more maneuver-specific guidance and accident reviews:
• Quick Stops / Rapid Decelerations
• Vortex Ring State (VRS)
• Hover Autos

For this video version, I’ve added graphics and short clips to make the discussion clearer for visual learners. I also reference recent training accidents to highlight why these techniques are so important.
