This conversation is a result of a bunch of pilots discussing worst case senarios.
They are not part of any training guide.
I know the chances of it happening are next to nothing.
I asked you mainly because I thought that it might be something you would have played with during certification.
T/R emergencies can get complicated in themselves but add the collective to yaw coupling and the fact that the S76 has a very powerful T/R and the situation worsens.
Thanks for your input ....lets put this one to rest.
Can I ask you one more question.
When the S76 was certified for a Cat A approach ,was there any requirement to zero groundspeed the A/C before touchdown or was a run - on landing acceptable. The flight manual graph is a little vague and the written explanation ends with " Apply brakes as necessary. " We operate in and out of some small helipads (100' x 100' ). Basically I guess the question is," Is the aircraft cetified Cat A to such a landing site?"
Cheers
