*sigh* You weren't there, you didn't fly it... all you have is a video and highsight.

Cant you just turn the key off and get out?

Honestly... look at the video clip from 21 seconds to 30 seconds. Are you really saying he could not power down in that time frame. He does have pitch and yaw control. His lateral motion is minimal. I stand by my comments that he could have set it down. He had 20 prior seconds of "hmm... why is my chopper not going up?" If you are able to recover into a reasonably static hover 3 feet above the ground and you could not obtain lift after 20 prior seconds of try... PUT IT DOWN.

But sure... since you know so much better, call the Swedish Accident Investigation Board and tell them that their investigation is flawed and that you, from watching a YouTube video, know so much better than they do.
Go right ahead... I dare you.

He doesn't have the margins needed to perform a safe and controlled landing,
As you can see he's drifting... not really able to maintain stable hover. If he sets down at that point, he's risking tipping the helicopter and getting into a dynamic rollover, from which he will not be able to recover because he doesn't have the power needed to quickly get up again.
This means that the rotor will be starting to slice up ground and, in the worse case, onlookers.
Hindsight is 20/20.

WHAT??? For the first 30 seconds of the video the helicopter was hovering about 2 - 4 feet above the ground and traversed laterally at a slow manageable speed. Nobody was standing in the initial flight path??? If you either reduce the throttle or or let up on the collective lift the chopper would lower itself due to gravity vs. thrust. 30 seconds of dead lift is a respondable situation. That is just poor airmanship! No excuses! Yes I have aborted a landing... HE SUCKS.

Armchair pilot-troll is trolling... go away.

are you fucking kiding me? every one can see its clearly the dumb ass piolets fault. o my god. i would personally kill that guy. you dont take a helicopter that size down a frigen neighborhood street. he should have took straight up off. a 3 year old would not even attemp what he was trying to do. and if the heli got away from him he should have killed the motor and autorotation it down right were it set. this world is full of idiots.hope the passenger is ok.

Go away troll... no attention to be found here.

The crash was caused because this vile bitch sabotaged the helicopter in order to collect on her husband's life insurance. |
