I don't think they teach this on a PPL-H course

I haven't seen this discussed here so I was wondering what the forum thought :

One lucky pilot to get away with this, I think. Nearly ended in tears :{

Link does not work

Damn,

I bet between me seeing the video and posting the links this morning that the hoster used up all his bandwidth or something similar - it has been on rec.aviation.rotorcraft for a week or so.

It was a video of a Jetranger pulling out of a dive and bumping into the hardstuff. The skids took quite a pounding, the rotordisk was unloaded and he very nearly didn't have a tail as he pulled away.

To make matters worse, there was a full load of passengers on board at the time.

I did a web search to find another copy of the video but with no luck so if anyone else knows of a link then hopefully they will post it.

Sorry,

John

Can anyone use that site or is it just members?
