#6 Robinson R22 R44 Safety Tip Avoid Abrupt Control Input Online Ground School

Avoid abrupt control inputs. Again, I've flown a number of different aircraft and I don't care. Single engine, twin engine. No matter what kind of flying you're doing, there's never any reason for abrupt control inputs. Never. There's never any reason. Hopefully, whoever's training you from the start has got you using nice, smooth control inputs. That's all you're ever going to need. Even in an emergency, your inputs are still going to be smooth. There's never any reason to totally jerk a control. Avoid abrupt control inputs or accelerated maneuvers, particularly at high speed. These produce high fatigue loads in the dynamic components and could cause a premature and catastrophic failure of a critical component. Don't do it.
