Takeaway Pulling the collective to your armpit may sound like “max performance,” but it’s a max error. It kills RPM, kills climb, and could cause a fatal accident. The pilots who pass check-rides—and stay safe in the real world—are the ones who train smarter, not harder. Todd’s story proves it: mistakes can become lessons, and lessons can save lives.
