The AS350 is actually flyable with a hydraulics failure. It's not easy, but it can be done. Back when I was flying them, we took them to a hover, then landing, hydraulics off in annual recurrent training. Offshore, you may have to land on a small platform, & you can't do a running landing. I know of at least one pilot who died doing it for real, though. As I said, it isn't easy.
