Thankyou YME...much appreciated though its now a case of no bodies being found as such let alone my friend.
Though if the eyewitness statements as reported is as reported word for word.....why didnt my friend fire off a mayday if he was encountering trouble therefore resulting in an autorotation into the water.
I can't make asusmptions here, but the airframe is less than 3 years old, but like everything else in life the airframe wouldn't be without problems?
How does the 135 handle in autorotation?
Thankyou all for your kind words here.
