We are not talking about a TR failure here, forget what you learned because this doesn't apply here. Read again post #826:
Thx, good read, but very old stuff, known since an EC120 got its tail blown around in swiss alps on takoff due to hesitant pedal input and subsequent misjudging of the situation. (HB-ZER)

I'm talking about VH-ZZT and VH-CDU Search
  • both accidents occurred from stationary HIGE
  • were training exercises
  • were meant to demonstrae yaw control in case of TR failure
  • were caused by - to me - weird messing with RRPM
  • ignored the "land immediately" mandated by AFM
and BFU 3X002-14 (EDMA-Augsburg)
  • hovering while "student listened to FI for task"
  • during training exercise
  • uncommanded right(!) turn developed
  • FI was unable to stop spin
None was an approach situation, all started out at a stationary hover. The least thing I'd expect from a fenestron FI is to be knowledgeable about the TR, there are numerous "service letters" floating around in recent years.

Maybe there were other approach related Cabri accidents but I find those three appalling enough.
