UK AAIB November 2006
Two this month. Well, it says three on the title page but the A109S Grand it 'can't find the link'.
R22 lands in lee of hangar, gust of wind causes TR to strike ground.

Rotorway Exec lands heavily after smoke fills cockpit during climbout.

And, the AAIB are taking a leaf out of last month's book and just called the page 'November Bulletins'. I tell you, in years to come...when I was a lad...standards keep slipping...zzzzz

Two things spring to mind:
1) regardless of the problem, a severe indication of impending major failure necessitates the quickest way down i.e. autorotation. he may well have used power for the actual landing
2) he may have determined that it was a severe tail rotor malfunction and so remained in autorotation in case of subsequent failure.

The chap did well and as a result I promise never to call him a dribbling, incontinent, old git again.

With regard to the R22 at Blackpool, it gets interesting at Newcastle aswell when its windy, playing between the hangars. Notice the overhang of the hangar. The taxiway is R44 sized. Anything bigger goes over the top!
