Angel Tail Rotor incident

Hey evil7

Thanks Brother I am in holiday mode for a recharge & FI1 renewals in Australia. Will soon be back

Yes very sad of the death at Last resort where a Man (experienced around running Helicopters) walked into the Tail Rotor after being instructed by my colleague to stay away, yet he still walked into the spinning TR.

This sadly reinforces the need for Us Pilot's to gaurd the Tail Rotor wherever we land by hanging it out over a ledge wherever possible, or, jumping out immediately upon landing to act as security, guarding the rotatable bits from the unaware, distracted or disorientated general public.

May the departed Rest in Peace & sincere condolences to His Family
