help find a youtube video?

[dkaarma]

There was a video shot inside a sighteseeing helipcopter of a hard landing after an autoration was executed due to a stall (i think)

It's not the one with the snow outside, i think this one was on an island?

does that ring any bells?

Island landing I beleive

I'll check youtube, and couple other places. I believe it was an A-Star, and got into LTE? Or it might have been settling with power, but not 100% sure.

Re... Youtube Vid!

I dont know if this will be of any help but this is quite a good
site for all kinds of Heli Vids..!

Thanks for that site Sparx, it didn't have what I was after, but there's some interesting stuff there

Thanks Rob, I appreciate that!

Dkaarma,

I couldn't sleep so I thought I'd have a little search as I think I know the video you mean.

It just goes to show how quick the onset of SWP can happen!!

didn't look like he was settling too fast to me. Certainly not 600-700+fpm.

Ref. that Griffin helicopters site, I really hope neither I nor anyone I care about ever have to fly in that 407 thats getting looped and rolled in the SA shot vid

Chukkablade,

I heard a rumour that the 407 had its airworthiness certificate revoked after that little stunt. Maybe someone here knows the truth?

[Chukkablade]

Thanks Jim. I bloody hope so.

[Bravo73]

re SA 407. There's a thread somewhere with all of the details on it. But I guess that you know already that a 'search' will find it.

Thankyou Jim, Thats the one Your insomnia is greatly appreciated

The low rpm horn almost sounds as bad as the engine...

edit...

Sparx - My apologies - That link did have the video - "AS350 gets in Vortex Ring on a pleasure flight" I must be going blind

You were right the first time the griffin site didn't have the video the first time you looked. I added it today after Sparx found it and posted a link up here, however it did make me me pull my finger out and get a few others added today as well.
