Never heard an AME say it like that before. I'm used to being called job security though.

The clutch light will come on sometimes in the R44. I never had a tourist say anything about it. Compare that to flying with geologists who are used to helicopters and they will notice the engine oil pressure fluctuate slightly.

A tour pilot I worked with hated giving commentary or really just talking with the people at all. Sometimes making up random names for mountain peaks was good for a laugh, "this is Everest Jr on the right and Mt (inset pilots name) on the left" etc. Especially if they don't really speak english.

Don't worry about negative G bullshit. You'll be dead in most helicopters if they do that. http://helicopterforum.verticalreference.com/topic/10987-low-g-condition-caught-on-video/ Edit: Most 2 bladed, not those fancy ones with the extra spinny bits and bendy tops, really why wouldn't you want to fly 206 or 212.

Happens a lot on aviation forums. Some really cool names get taken and never have any stories after flight school is over.
