Great video, and some interesting comments. Re the Wessex that went in, the captain of that aircraft was an instructor of mine at shawbury and had some interesting thoughts on tail rotor drive failures at low level. As for me I'd love some more info on the S61 test pilot and how he coped with the failure from the 100ft hvr so I can try it out in the sim. With ref to the sim, they changed the model for this particular failure with the c of g making a much greater impact than before and after looking at the video it would seem that these changes have made the sim more realistic. As for walking away from the tailrotor failure in the S61 sim, the lowest I could be in transit and then have an 'acceptable' ditching was 500', hence the fact that I now fly at a min of 500' unless required to be lower! fly safe :@)
