cheers
We all train for a stuck collective and jammed controls, civil or military. The video shows straight and level flight prior to landing, which to me means there is a fair bit of collective pitch "stuck" there. The report states they killed the engines at 200 feet. I'd be interested to hear how you think a safe landing is possible with that amount of collective pitch from 200 feet if all engine power is removed?
