Low level, high speed, single engine.

Hello all,

I've been pondering the following scenario.

Gazelle driver (could be anybody really), giving it max chat over ****** at their infamous 'map of the earth' (IIRC that's the correct phrase) altitude has some sort of engine issue.

Given Gazelle has a single engine, I presume that this sort of low-level activity has it's risks, but you're usually within the safe area of the HV diagram - correct?

Then; if you are at such a low level/high speed combination and the donk does give up the ghost is it just a case of managing the collective and flaring at the appropriate moment after a relatively short/quick auto, or even run-on landing.

Thanks all.
Mungs.
