There was a video shot inside a sighteseeing helipcopter of a hard landing after an autoration was executed due to a stall (i think)
It's not the one with the snow outside, i think this one was on an island?
does that ring any bells?

I'll check youtube, and couple other places. I believe it was an A-Star, and got into LTE? Or it might have been settling with power, but not 100% sure.

Dkaarma,
I couldn't sleep so I thought I'd have a little search as I think I know the video you mean.

didn't look like he was settling too fast to me. Certainly not 600-700+fpm.

Chukkablade,
I heard a rumour that the 407 had its airworthiness certificate revoked after that little stunt. Maybe someone here knows the truth?

re SA 407. There's a thread somewhere with all of the details on it. But I guess that you know already that a 'search' will find it. ;)

You were right the first time the griffin site didn't have the video the first time you looked. I added it today after Sparx found it and posted a link up here, however it did make me me pull my finger out and get a few others added today as well.
