Bob, I'm really not sure what your beef is.

We have mostly agreed it can be done safely when the right conditions are met - as A3 said, match the aircraft to the task.

What is open to debate is whether or not there was a NEED to get out with the rotors turning in this accident.

I haven't flown the 350 but even I know it has a propensity for jumping the collective latch - why wouldn't someone qualified on type be very wary of that possibility?

Not sure why you keep banging on about UK accidents - it's not relevant to this topic. Just because some of us from this sde of the pond have an opinion you don't like, doesn't make us wrong or irrelevant in the discussion.
