Yeah, I know. The open door being the left MLG wheel well cover. Lucky it didn't happen 30 minutes earlier otherwise it would have got very dynamic indeed.

An operator in the GoM managed to roll one over while trying to 'ground taxi' on a helideck

I'm not sure how you can do that unless you were half asleep and had no gas, passengers or freight.

I have no insight at all to this Travira accident. To roll one over with the engine running and not go over the side or injure or kill anybody is a remarkable stroke of good luck.

Have done that, not the roll over bit though, no other option when you suddenly find you have 40 knots up the chuff when wanting to take off.

Maybe, with 40 knots up the chuff, and you were light, and did a vigorous right turn and got a bit of up collective with collective/yaw coupling, things might get a bit interesting. But to roll one over, you really got to try pretty hard to do that.

I agree gulli, in my few k hours on the S-76 landing everywhere offshore and onshore including muddy fields with a semi bogged undercarriage, I never noticed a propensity for a rollover.
