Wherever they are, I'm pretty sure they will have had an uncomfortable interview without coffee with their boss

Lots of nose up, low fuel for a demonstration...did a donkey cough due to fuel starvation?

Don't know about other 412s but our EPs don't have any issues with fuel starvation and nose-up as all the fuel ends up in the tanks with the booster pumps in.

I'd probably call that "Settling without enough power".

It's truly amazing that two of those fast-ropers are actually running and only one of them has a pronounced limp after that. Their ROD on the bottom of that rope was definitely enough to break some limbs. As for the Einstein at the controls, it seems like he got behind the ability drag curve shortly after fastening his harness.

Two, I think you miss something.
All of the SF are inside the AC when it hits the deck!
Before only the ropes are thrown out and the end wads hit the ground before they were unrolled.

It looks like they're carrying the Tavor (bullpup rifle), and looking at the list of users for that, I reckon these are the Hondurans. They operate some 412s and the paint job / uniforms all seem to look similar to the video.

Must One have an Approach Gun to "shoot" an Approach?

He sure ain't a graduate of the US Army Methods of Instruction school.

Thing is-to throw my 2ct into the ring here-that in fully developed VRS, the cyclic input is pretty much useless-the helicopter will be so "wobbly", that the change in the angle of attack will have little to no effect on the movement of the helicopter any more......(this is just me talking out of my little experience teaching VRS-which, as we all know, is just a "demonstration" and happens at high altitude....so nothing compared to what probably happened in this video)..

In this video, the screw-up happened way before the helicopter reached the landing site.....

Was in Latin America... They did a quick stop , lost all available power/ airflow and had a ´landing´, Torque was ´well past the red ´...They were doing a demonstration for a TV crew and were trying to look good (hmmm well they did lol)

Apologies as I´m rear crew so terminology is lost. The Pilots said ´Puta´afterwards.. that was about it....
