Dear all, I am SLF but have been flown by experts in such aircraft and have a bit of experience in crash reconstruction. My I start with condolences to all in this tragedy? I have studied the sad Sun video closely, and I am struck by the appearance of the tail anticollision light as the aircraft rotates. There are two clear images of this. In the first, at almost exactly the 1 minute mark, the image is blurred by the spinning tail rotor.
In the second, about 2 seconds later, the tail anticollision light is small and apparently not blurred. Would a suggestion that this was now due to the rate of rotation of the tail rotor having reduced be reasonable?
Regrettably I cannot post my screen captured images as the forum thinks I am trying to post URLs.
