Can somebody tell me if I'm missing something here. We have a pilot new to type with a design feature he has limited experience with, flying a heavy aircraft with an engine that is running out of puff, landing in a tight spot and out of the wind, surrounded by water with nowhere else to go, carrying tourists who don't understand English. And then, when things turned to worms, he didn't put in full right pedal to arrest an un-commanded yaw. And then, in all that excitement failed to pop the emergency floats when splashdown was imminent. I mean, did he give himself any chance of ever pulling this off safely? We as a pilot community seem to be doing inexplicable stuff that wrecks otherwise perfectly serviceable helicopters time and time again.
