"The typical helicopter has between 100 and 500 parts that are flight critical..."

I imagine that figure about doubles for power assisted machines. Hydraulic pumps, sensors, rams - not to mention all the lines and valve blocks.

Ok technically the machine is still flyable if hydraulics go, unless it has additional stability augmentation...
