Short instructional YouTube video (Kenny Keller) showing a demonstration with Hunter about avoiding unnecessary cyclic (‘‘stirring the pot’’) movements during helicopter approaches and autorotations. The speakers highlight that pilots often make unnecessary cyclic inputs—especially when nervous or after a break—and demonstrate an approach without those movements.
So people love stirring the pot in the helicopter with the cyclic. Hunter here is going to demonstrate an approach without stirring the pot. We just did an approach a few minutes ago, and he was stirring a pot in the way, and I was watching it, and we got down. I'm like, what.
Was you stirring the pot for? 678Romeo.

And so I said, go around and do it again and don't move it. And so we're gonna clean this up now. We're looking at it. Yeah. Look at that. No stirring. Nope. And why do people do it? I don't know, but they do it anytime. But nervous. You know, we don't fly for a little while, and you get in, have them flown for a little bit.
That was just your problem.
Just a.
Week or two without flying.
And had to relax. And look at that.
No stern.
Unnecessary phenomenon, though. Everybody does it, especially in autos. They'll enter an auto and they start going like this. That's why your rpm, and you're like, what are you. Why are you doing that? Well, they don't even know why they're doing.
They just start moving.
The cyclic everywhere. Don't stir the pot.
