Thanks:
Ended up in the trees before landing; uhm.
The AS 350 is a very popular aircraft, there have been numerous accidents related to hydraulic system issues.
Many operators over here are repowering the B models with the LTS 101 engine which is ironic, they first appeared in North America with the LTS 101.
It would be interesting to know if it was powered with the aeriel or lycoming engine.
There have been a few accidents in North America [recently] related to issues with the Lycoming LTS 101 conversion; though an auto-rotation into the trees shouldn't result in fatalities.
I quess we will have to wait and see.
