R22 accident in south of France
Hi Dick,
Just read your article, I like to commend you for it; it is very well written and has a clear “learn from this mishap “ lesson for every pilot whatever one’s level of experience.
Keep on harping!

A good article, and will there be more?
I found this article to be helpful on quite a few issues. I note that the BEA reports are different in style to the AAIB reports, with the BEA being more pointed about certain aspects of piloting.
Is there any chance of another learned article on main rotor divergence on the R22, given the safety recommendations of the AAIB in relation to "loss of main rotor control" in their 2/2013 Bulletin relating to G-CHZN. This recent AAIB Bulletin is required reading for all R22 pilots and students.

I am very pleased to hear that some of you found the HCGB article useful, this was my sole intention and I hope it has given a small in site into why some of these dreadful events happen. As it happens I am in the process of writing another article on my views on the lost skill of manual throttle skills which can lead to Low RPM Rotor Stall and the subsequent loss of 'main rotor control' and possibly 'main rotor divergence'. We seem to have forgotten that the pilot is the 'primary governor' and not the aircraft's engine governor.
I did get your e-mail 212man, I will take you up on your kind offer at some point, I am in the MAS lounge at the moment on my way to Bangladesh to conduct some R66 training.
Thanks to all for the positive comments, it is easy to shoot the messenger.
Keep your RPM in the green.

Does this mean that we can put to bed the R44 accident which occurred in turbulent air on its delivery flight from the factory not long back and perhaps other unexplained M/R divergence accidents?

BEA Report on G-CBVL available in English
The official report is available in English on the BEA website but not easy to find.
http://www.bea.aero/docspa/2010/g-vl...l101209.en.pdf
Much better than using Google.

CBVL ACCIDENT
Just read this, which I think is more accurate. Besides half the facts reported previously are not correct.
At last some sense two mates, two pilots dual control we will never know!
I think Geriant Herbert got in right we will never know who was flying.. pity this was not taken into consideration.
Check out High winds could have brought Little Hereford man's copter down (From Ludlow Advertiser)

If not inappropriate, could someone please either post or pm their PPRuNE handles?
Did not know them though would appreciate knowing which Rotorheads we lost.
