T/R failure in forward flight
Interesting notes, pitch controil fails or drive shaft fails. simple, play with your throttle, wind it off just before you touch down at very slow forward speed. don't stuff up the aproach.
If drive shaft fails in the hover, man that's scary, after the second rotation one's self preservation usually remembers training, wind the throttle off idiot, they don't stop, only slow down a bit.
What not to do is don't wind it off, check out the story from Sydney Australia many moons ago when this happened in a tele-news 47 after the old leightweight style T/R thru bolt let go, very messy and all on camera.
If the G/Box is gonna fall off, do your CofG, then work out how you might kiss your posteria goodbye!
But refer to the recent seaking crash on the after deck of travelling ship, many cowboys reckon that T/R fails, no-one noticed the rapid quick flex down and up of the M/R when it unloaded in a typical vortex ring state, of course the T/R parted company with the rear end of flight path when it also got fouled up air.
Maybe no one has ever seen a cowboy film when the wagon wheel goes into slow flicker motion when in synch with and at right angles to the camera?? T/R was still going ok when it went past the cam close up and also when it smashed with high power into the deck and disappeared to the port side of the vessel.
