It seems there may be some correlation between AS350 accidents and poor visibility and I am now speculating (sorry but I am) as to whether this is something to do with servo-transparency?
Having never had ST in a Squirrel I don't know how it feels like but - if a pilot induced a rapid rate turn with moderately high G in order to avoid IIMC perhaps he could encounter this and, if unfamiliar with it "freak out"?
What with servo transparency (which apparently doesn't happen in some helis) and a history of hydraulic system failures plus the current tail rotor issue on the new B3e - I am beginning to lose a little confidence in the 350.
I hope I am wrong because this type has become one of the most popular singles on the planet!
