Hi rjsquirrel,
For sure I'll always be happy to follow a specialised course on S76 flight controls (with a very patient instructor) .
I know amongst other thinks that, with a high position of collective pitch and right pedal application, we reach a point where the linkage is positioned in such a manner that rudder pedal movment is impaired.
I don't have the faintest idea of what caused this poor S76 to crash, but apparently, there is evidence of "extreme" collective up position and an initial violent yaw to left...
My case on the sim at F.Safety was different in a sense that we were simulating a mechanical link jamming aft of the mixing unit. Nevertheless at one stage I also had to cope with a rapid nose-up attitude and a left yaw (probably when I lowered collective)
Please mail me at:
