It wasn't settling with power, it wasn't an engine failure, the pilot did not do a good job in any way, in fact the pilot made a very bad management decision.

He says he made a downwind approach for noise abatement, i can't see any buildings about, looks like plenty of room to manouvre.

In fact it looks like he totally misread the conditions, overpitched the machine and had a heavy landing.

Davyo7, you can hear and see the blades turning at full tilt, get your ears and eyes tested.

Bladecrack, indeed it doesn't, engine does not run down, nose yaws left, not in engine failure in a squirell it doesn't, successful auto, are you kidding???, look at the damage.

Davey07 again, pilot did a terrible job, please remove the clapping icon.

pilot statement confirms he is an idiot,
