In no particular order:-
Jet Provost - undercarriage collapse despite 3 greens and a greased landing.
Hunter - engine compressor creep causing horrible rubbing noise. IMC glide landing from about 30,000ft. (just a concerned pax on this one!)
Gazelle - 1. fcu failure in hover 2. fenestron stall causing about 15 rotations and 4 sets of brown trousers from my pax and me.
Wessex - 1. 2x Engine Freezes / 2x Engine Runaway ups / 1 x Divergent engine oscillations 2. Hydraulic failure.
Puma - 1. Engine oil pressure failure IMC 500ft over Irish Sea. Very long single engine transit into wind to Valley where we had an intercom failure on short finals 2. Starter motor fire. 3. Hydraulic failure 4. Main gearbox oil pressure failure due to a bag of silica gel being left in the gearbox after maintenance - the silica particles blocked the filter and pump. 5. Main gear box cowling detached on take of and struck 3 of the 4 main rotor blades (I learned about trusting students to do walk rounds!)
AB205 - 1. Engine failure at 200ft in climb in mountains (parked it on it's side and the hydraulics caught fire) Turns out the previous pilot had hot started it and not told anyone! 2. Compressor stall on finals to mountain LS at about 9500 ft - FCU out of adjustment.
B212 - Engine oil pressure failure at night about 100 miles into the desert.
A109 - 1. Engine failure IMC without autopilot - shaft between compressor and turbine failed so the indications weren't 'classic'. God has a way of telling you when you are being stupid! 2. Several eng chips 3. Several gearbox chips
AS350 - 1. Spurious engine fire warning. 2. TGB Chips
EC120 - Zip!
Rotorway Exec - 1. Engine failure on climb out at 150ft (Exhaust valve seized). 2. Secondary FADEC failure causing power loss and indications of total engine failure - however it was still running and capable of producing a bit of power. 3. Engine failure in hover taxi - another seized exhaust valve. 4. Tail rotor failure in the hover. 5. Engine power loss during recovery from auto - parked it on its side. 6. Engine oil leak from rocker cover - smelled hot oil shortly after take-off so quick circuit to land. about a pint of oil left after touchdown. 7. Fan belt failure causing hot oil / water and almost total water loss. 8. Several minor snags.
H269 - Zip!
R22 - Zip! (Except for some student-induced brown trouser moments!)
R44 - Zip!
Estrom 480 - 1. Drive bearing hot - bearing knackered 2. Eng chips.
God I love my job!
