Re: Blackhawk Question
I too had heard of of a 80 MPH run-on by an AStar. My recollection hints at a control problem from failed hydraulics (that toothed belt let go), not a stopped tail-rotor.
From my time in simulators, I've noticed a wide variance in simulator reproductions of emergencies - some you can land with a blown off tailrotor (flightsafety), some you can't (CAE) for the same aircraft. Modelling in a sim is supposed to be within a percent of actual or so, but nobody fails a tailrotor as part of the sim data collection. However, with all the FDR/HUMS systems now part of helicopters, it should be standard practice for sims to update their modelling after new data from a crash is made available.
