We are getting down to a Fuel Problem of some kind.
If the MGB was capable of rotation by hand turning the engine drive shaft....it isn't a MGB failure which would be the most common cause of Non-Turning Rotor Blades.
The only question that needs answering now is why the Blades stopped turning....everything else is secondary.
Who has the numbers....Total Fuel Capacity (Liters), Total Useable Fuel (Liters), Un-usable Fuel (Liters)....and any Cautions or other Warnings about Aircraft Attitude and Fuel related Caution and Warning Lights?
Is it safe to assume the AAIB would have mentioned any damage to a fuel cell that would resulted in the leakage of fuel from that Cell?
Is it safe to assume there was no spilled fuel as the AAIB did not mention that?
If we assume intact fuel tanks and fuel lines....thus no spillage.....what does the Drained Fuel Amount reported by the AAIB tell us?
A Mile and a Half from Base....a low fuel level....decelerating for a landing.....nose up pitch attitude....and something happened.....What?
I will ask one more question....and the experienced folks will understand why i ask it.
Was the Pilot's Collective Lever bent upwards....indicating a maximum physical effort pull on the Collective Lever being made?
