Mature aircraft, HUMS, a T/R failure would be an extremely rare event. We should be hearing something soon from Leonardo. Noooby?
Really odd that there was no warning at all, or was it a judgement call to keep flying despite some hint because of the heart and 5 min from landing? Sim training, the way the box is programmed there is lots of incentive to keep the speed up, they may have still got some speed on after it disappeared out of view on the video. When we were gods gift instructing we could do 0 airspeed autos from 500’ with the H300. Didn’t think it was possible with a 139 -min auto speed I believe is 40 but without a T/R even 100 feels better for that extra keel effect. Maybe HK piloto “RM” can chime in with what worked for him.
