John Sonneveld - Learning to hover

Transcript

I tell people, once you're up and flying from A to B, it's a bit like an aeroplane, but learning to hover is a bit like learning to ice skate. You get up, you fall over. You get up, you fall over. You get up, oh, I've done a whole metre, and you fall over. It progresses like that. And before you know it, after quite a bit of time, you can actually hover.

So, you can get a fixed wing pilot, put him in a helicopter in an oval and he won't be able to keep it in the oval if he tries hovering. But you learn. Okay? And eventually you get to the point, you can go and put the skid on a post. So it's a skill that you learn.
