I have BMFA A and B certs for both Fixed Wing and Helicopters, does anybody know if the CAA accepts the Helicopter certs as qualifying for multi rotors? Assuming a single rotor and a multirotor are all classed as helicopters. I emailed BMFA and asked this question and received a rather...

It's very easy to sit in an armchair and say how to deal with a situation like this, but in the heat of the moment things are not so simple and the mind seems to seize up in panic. However, having said that, there are in theory two possible solutions. Firstly, if you still have telemetry...
