All very nice to have that (relatively) big 206 blade whopping away with bags of inertia, but the R22's fatal accident rate in the UK between 1992 and 1999 (about one per 115,000 hours) was much better than the 206s (about one per 40,000 hours) and part of the reason was the fact that that big blade often comes whopping in the window in otherwise survivable crashes. (Figures relate to fatal accidents, not persons killed.)
And as yet I've had no replies to the question I asked in my first post on this thread. Does anyone know of an engine failure in an R22 that was not caused by fuel or oil starvation, or carb heat mismanagement? (With the exception of the pilot's coat incident mentioned above).
