Krypton,
This is a phenomena spreading through the industry from end to end. PPL and mil are now steering ever further from EOL practice for a variety of reasons, mostly down to cost if there is a small risk of screwing it up.
The fraternity is therefore is in danger of its skill set being erroded.
The jury is STILL out with the Galsgow police helicopter going thru the roof of the Clutha public house several years ago.
The AAIB don't really know what happened between engine(s) out and hitting the rooftop but those who knew him and his training background recognise that EOL's didn't factor in ot much.
How many people on here - across the world - practice true EOL's to the deck?
Funny isn't it. A flying machine designed NOT to glide is being flown more and more by pilots who know NOT what to do at the end of the "glide".
All they ever see is the recovery to the hover, and away to fly another day.
Weird world of nanny state we live in.
