Actually sound more like a cable failure especially the fact that its lying on its right side. Flew and work with both Oppies and Trevor so I am really glad to hear they are allright and lets pray for a speady recovery for the other two guys. The sad part is that this, thats if it was indeed a tail rotor cable failure, is a non event if you get the change to practice it on a simulator once a year like most offshore guys all over the world that fly the Super Puma/Oryxs. Too think the cost of this one Oryxs could have covered this expence. At least the SAAF is starting to utilize a simulator and hopefully will continue with this practice.
