why VRS?
Caught one...

Once he's over the rooftop, it looks like a ROD > 300fpm, < 30kts and clearly under power. The last 60-70' of his approach are very steep.

Helped make old 401SA from an E4 into an E3 back in 89 or 90, so right after that video. Good old Hillers...

VRS?

Not possible - wasn't "invented" back in those days!

The flag in the corner of the building wrecks your headwind theory as well.

VRS - pah!
Quite right Jim. RDVT wind at 3:01 and 3:08.
ttb: VRS requires 2 factors:
1 Induced flow
and
2 Opposing flow - (condition 2 is the reason 3kts descent and 30kts forward is mentioned - 6 degrees is NOWHERE near VRS - but at less than IAS30kts pitot is unreliable and 30kts easily lost if unaware or gusts/sheer. "caught one"?)

Air Zermatt is training pilots and crew of Fishtail Air in order to set up a high altitude rescue station in the himalaya.
Very interesting to watch (at least for those of you understanding German).
