• Introduction
• Learning

The aerodynamic stresses to which an airframe and rotor system is exposed during Vortex Ring State are virtually unknown. Exercise 26 which deals with this condition of flight has been retained, but the emphasis should be placed on the early recognition and avoidance rather than practising a fully developed Vortex Ring State. Controlling the rate of descent should be stressed in situations where Vortex Ring is likely to develop.
