It's not long ago during fire fighting the belt failed when diving towards the loch. The accumulators gave enough time to reduce speed. Then according to the book cut off the accumulators to keep the steering force evenly in all dirctions. Got rid of the bamby bucket over land and made a landing with slight foreward speed. It should be a piece of cake if you follow the procedures, but it needs some physical strength to do.
And yes, the CAA has the report.
I know there are some dicussions about the Squirrel and hydraulics but after about 7,000 hours on type it was the first time I had trouble. Overall a very reliable system.
