I have to agree. Should the Pilot have said, that could possibly kill us or more likely ground the aircraft for maintenance with potential major parts replacement after we land….
“that will kill us” is sufficiently succinct and is irrelevant if it is accurate or not.
While I’m sure the engines will have no issue overcoming the braking action I wouldn’t want to bet my life on gears and drive shafts under stress’s they are not designed for plus potential fire in the RB assembly.
Every aircraft I’ve flown they give the rotor brake a red light. That is probably an indication on what the manufacturer thinks about the RB been on in flight.
