Well if BOTH pedals "go to the floor", then you're talking about a mech failure in the pitch control of the TR. Given that the pedals are linked - when one is forward the other is aft - it would take a catastrophic failure of the linkage to cause both pedals to go forward at once.
OK - and I imagine that would explain a sudden jolt and severe shaking.


and when being flown by said pilot with 77 hours on type and 311 hours total, the said result will always be bent metal
In the above scenario (catastrophic failure) - would it make any difference how many hours the pilot had - on type (even if more than twice stated amount) or otherwise?



when said collective is installed in said not the right helicopter
As Pauline Hanson would say .... "Please explain?"
