Gaseous : is your knee jerking ? There's a crucial line in this report : "However, again, his relative inexperience lead to difficulties in controlling the aircraft and resulted in a heavy and fast run-on landing."

A 70-hr pilot.

A carburretor is the least of his problems. You might as well say that the collective, cyclic, pedals and throttle control shouldn't be there - and that the instruments are useless.

Any more incidents like this and we'll be getting our own version of SFAR 73 for all helicopters in the UK. Would that be a bad thing - forcing pilots to do more training up to, say, 150 hrs ?

Be good news for the schools and instructors
