Helilog56- I have zero hours in rotorcraft. Does that mean I don't have common sense, hardly. Maybe you haven't been following along, but learning is what I've been doing, and safety is what I'm advocating. I feel sorry for YOU, I'll soon depart this blizzard of BS and you'll still be up to your neck.
It's very simple. They picked an unsafe place to land when there were safe places nearby. Having picked and unsafe place they should have aborted the landing and tried elsewhere. You don't need 20,000 hours in rotorcraft to see the truth in that.
I've obviously broken a taboo by criticizing this landing, but I see that as your problem, not mine. Professionals? Not as I define professional. Now
this guy is professional.
