21jan2015 video:...and BANG goes the main rotor of this Alouette 3...
Oops... :ouch:
See ASN Aircraft incident 21-JAN-2015 Sud Aviation/Aérospatiale SA-316B Alouette III for more details... |
Looks like the blades flexed during low G.
He was too aggressive with the nose up/down attitude. Don't think the pilot will do that again in a hurry! Recovery was rather stable as he managed to keep the airframe level :) |
lol oh those third world opperators!
Glad there were only "minor" injuries.... and also the helicopter only sustained."minor damage".
Yikes. Hate to see what majordamage would be!:ouch: |
I don't think the Pilot could have been more aggressive if he was fighting of a Polar Bear. what a tit head.., looks like God was working well for the crowd that day..!
|
If you fly as if you're in a rigid rotor when you're not..... Hopefully no one got hurt!
|
wow.... :uhoh::eek:
|
Looks like the blades flexed during low G. Probably comes under the "Streaker's defence" - it seemed like a good idea at the time. |
AC,
To keep the aviation content maybe Gareth Evans' defence when he was Attorney-General and sent the F-111 to photograph the Gordon/Franklin debacle, 'it seemed like a good idea at the time' :rolleyes: Good old Biggles :p |
Rule nr 1
I am not completly up to speed with Angolan army justice but
if this pilot is send to jail for this, he now already knows prison rule nr 1: Watch your back when you bow down. Cheers SLB |
