Read on.
After second engine failed, Nr warning went on and off 3 times, indicating that he was attempting to control Nr. Forward speed was reduced to zero, possibly indicating he flared the aircraft and then pulled collective. They imply that as the RadAlt and Landing Lamp had failed, the pilot would have difficulty judging height.

So, whilst none of this is CERTAIN, the board have concluded that Dave MAY have carried out a low level autorotation, misjudged the flare height and ended up at a couple of hundred feet with the lever in his armpit.

JUST LIKE MANY PEOPLE CONCLUDED 2 YEARS AGO AND WERE FLAMED BY THE 'EXPERTS' OF THE INTERNET.

So please, lets lose this 'he didnt autorotate' rubbish
