Not true. If you have enough power to retard the sink rate you can fly
forward out of the recycled air.


Isn't this what I just said? Recovery is not to pull in more power,
that just increases your rate of sink. You apply cyclic (preferrably
forward, but any direction will work) and altitude permitting, lower
the collective and fly out of it.. Once you're out of the vortex,
pull pitch and climb out.


That sounds the same to me.
