Enough back covering Hughsey.

Of course we all know that CRM doesn't apply to ppls or single pilot ops does it? Smell the coffee and discuss this incident a bit more. Things like;

He (Mr Dunn) said: "The tail came off, and the rotors. I was flying to pick some people up. I have been to that place loads of times but there was a north-east wind so I had to come down a different way.
Mr Doe and his wife were due to go on a pleasure flight with pilot Mark Wilkinson, who was going to take over flying the chopper, when the drama unfolded above them.



You can see the Emmental slices lining up !

A pleasure flight.
The PPL owns aircraft.
The PPL/Owner flying in the pleasure flight.
A second pilot, (presumably a CPL/ATPL) conducting pleasure flight.
The PPL/Owner reported to be 'doing a TJ' just before the incident.
The PPL/Owner wants to make pleasure flight more enjoyable. "What went wrong is not doing as one is supposed to and being too flash coming into land. Too exubrient flying"
The CPL put in awkward position.
The CPL worries about next job.
The PPL?Owner/Employer wants to take control...

etc

This incident could have been a lot worse with 4 POB!

You still haven't answered the question about the acc-stop distances required for any public transport flight applicable to G-VICE. And while we are here, under which AOC was the flight going to be carried out?

Just that I can't see Mr Dunns name here;
Air Operator Certificates | Flight Operations | Safety Regulation
