Steve76,. .All reports seem to say that the film was accurate in all important ways. Those pesky RPG's pack a wallop, and are deadly to armor at close range (I've seen the holes they punch in the side skin on medium tanks - M48A1's).
A Turkish Jandarma Black Hawk was hit in the transition section, just forward of where the tail cone starts, by an RPG, and it was flown about 50 miles home with a 3 foot hole, minus one tail hydraulic system and one tail cable (the unique tail cable quadrant of the Hawk gives the pilot full control with one cable shot away). Another was hit in the belly with an RPG, and also flew home.
My earlier post states something that I think needs clarification. Most training simulators I have flown represent that a loss of tail thrust can be flown out by lowering the nose, gaining speed and letting the vertical tail balance the torque as speed is gained. This is simply not possible, based on the much more accurate research simulation and hand calculations of aerodynamic experts that I have dealt with.
One technique I can easily endorse, however, is to avoid chopping throttles at first, unless the situation is really out of control due to spin rate. If possible, hold the aircraft level and lower yourself down to within 15 or 20 feet of the surface, then cut the throttles. This allows the rotor energy a chance to stop the descent as ground contact is made. If the throttles are cut at 75 or 100 feet, the landing will be a real problem due to high rate of descent.
