Wouldnt say its a tail rotor problem.
Could be a hard over in pitch. Hydraulic issue in pitch?
Dont know the a/c type systems so can't extrapolate further.

He added: 'Pilots are trained for this. It is survivable with the appropriate technique. It shouldn't be catastrophic'.

But aviation expert Jim Rowlands, a former RAF Puma crew member, told The Sun: 'There's no real coming back from that. The only way is down.

'The pilot has clearly done an incredible job, really'



Think that this brilliant analysis from the Former RAF Puma crew member JR, sums up all the accidents. It certainly saves face when 99% of the incidents we see are not total “catastrophic mechanical failure”.

NRDK - does your reply fit with this thread? Mexican Mi17?

[NRDK]

:ok:TC,
absolutely..this is a rumour network.

And I’m poking fun at JR with expert analysis and cracking statements. Are you ex RAF? :}
