Will any helicopter continue to fly coupled to the Flight Director with both engines flamed out? How about your 225 HC?
EC Don't use Flight Directors. The types I know of drop out of coupled status.

I'm sure most of the 76 drivers greatly appreciate this cursory look into the event. Obviously no clear answers yet, but I know I appreciated the information before i hit the starter today, as did many of my colleagues
Yes, we can all sleep easier now, knowing that for no apparent reason, whilst in the cruise on a nice day, the aircraft catastrophically lost control and speared in. I'll bear that comforting thought in mind next time I press the starter. Any more gems of info?
