The NI helicopter world is very small.
Yes I agree we should all learn from this. I hope the pilot will be honest enough to explain all what happened to his B3 to the maint organisation. Although I’m sure the engines with ears at McAlpine have already watched it.

So, the outcome of this focus group is that the pilot in question is (in my pigeon Irish) an ejit. Whether or not it was a forced error.
A fekkin ejit.
And, if there's a God, this ejit will be deprived of any license ever again. Ejit's with brains made of soda bread shouldn't be allowed near any vehicle.
Who/where trained this clown ? Who/where/when was the last LPC ?
A slow news day could see this clip promoted from UselessToob to broadcast news with "they lived to tell the tale" as the substance of the piece.
So, whoever you are, thanks so much for putting our industry into the firing line. We just need people like you around.

As these are anonymous forums the origins of the contributions may be opposite to what may be apparent. In fact the press may use it, or the unscrupulous, to elicit certain reactions.
Which sums up the contributions from our 'nutter'.

It was a G reg'd heli in Northern Ireland....therefore it's a matter for the CAA not IAA.
It amuses me how these things always turn in to slagging matches.
e.g "your a prat" "your a nutter"
Entertaining stuff....keep it up

Hi Hughesy ,have a read of the forum again it appears you shoot from the hip.The guy you thought it was ,wasnt. Anybody that tries such a stunt in a helicopter is crazy ,Im clearly not defending that. However this video shows a helicopter that becomes out of control due to what ever reasons and is recovered in some way and nobody got hurt. This chap needs help and retraining and a serious talking to by the authority and not us.
Hedski ,I didnt approve the recovery method .I do think anything but a crash and death was a successful outcome to this situation.
I have no doubt that this guy got himself in this situation but hadnt intended to so why dont we all calm down .

This could be a good discussion if it wasnt for the guys with personal agendas jumping on the bandwagon and some of them registering to do it. Funny how there's always personal bitching in threads about helicopters in Ireland.
SouthernX says it's "crucial that this kind of flying be made public."
Yeah, it must do wonders for the image of helicopter flying.
Seems he thought it was crucial to post the reg of the helo as well.

Did anyone notice the rather large field on the other side of the barn/shed/warehouse? 20/20 hindsight, of course, but would it have been a better site .....
And Ppruners even get an honorary mention! At least they corrected someone's spelling and grammar 
Just goes to show eh?

I have no connection to the pilot in question and have never met him/her, I simply offered some camly considered alternative viewpoints, rather than joining in the childish slanging match, as is now usual on pprune, made by the same old bunch of "pilots" with an over inflated ego, who have never made any sort of mistake during their flying career..
I have to agree with Bronx, that all the publicity over this has made the helicopter industry in NI/UK look very bad, there are surely better ways of dealing with this incident than on a public forum & TV news. Hopefully lessons have been learned...
