Helicopter has rough landing at Ski Apache
|
Bit of T-cut and it'll be fine I'm sure, anything that wont T-cut we can cover with speed tape
|
At least the dust wont be telling mince pies?
|
Another classic case of HTG.
|
I cannot wait to hear the explanation for this bit of excitement!
|
Do you think "He rather fecked it up", would suffice :E
|
Smooth... :hmm:
|
I am pleased to tell you that you have passed your check ride |

CAT allergy |
Maybe the pilot saw a big spider on the windshield :)
|
Nothing to see here. Just a firm landing and low level hover taxi down the slope to a more suitable loading area. Move along.
|
Those valet parking attendants sure like messing around with the torque turns, approaches aren't their usual fare I guess. Should get away with just handing the keys back. |

Obviously he looks to be down wind, but the way the machine was still power limited after it bounced I wonder if the seat belt tail got caught in the collective track. Has caused a few whoopsies in past. Have had it myself, luckily no damage but gets the heart going.

No, when most U.S. pilots strap in there is no tail left to worry about.

Little late on the flare on that one Hoskins.....................................
|
Best slope landing technique I've seen for a while.
|
|
I'm curious whether he parked it where it ended up, or he parked it somewhere close by that was more accessible, or whether he continued on with the mission?
|
Not sure if the guy manages normal landings but he surely does a great job at slopes and flying the mast !!!
|
.
He get a 9 out of 10 for the artistic part ! . |
I hope the patient didn't see that...
|
Probably saw the sign "ski apache" and decided anything an apache can do, a squirrel can do better :ouch: |
There's like a million questions here, was he eating in flight and just forgot he had to land it or what, those pesky in flight meals on commercial operations!! |
Maybe he was caught out by one of those extremely fast moving fogs
|
Didn't see if they did high or low recon, almost looks like a pedal turn in to the tail wind and started deep decent. Don't know weight and D alt, but guessing 8000 ft ..ish? How the crew was briefed from the ground about the landing conditions (wind etc.)?
They were very lucky with this one. They shouldn't put lottery anymore, you are a winner already. |

Might be over 10.000 feet elevation....peak is about 11,300 feet high.
|
Surely that wasn't a real Pilot at the wheel? :{ 'twas the Patient at the helm me thinks :yuk:
|
VF. I suspect so. Again. And again. And again...seems pilots have been doing some dumb stuff lately, falling off hospital helipads, rolling off throttle in 60 foot hover, playing bouncy castle when there is no bouncy castle, etc etc. Maybe a passenger put that PX burner in the Truk lagoon as well?
|
G'day GB........the new-age of proffesionaljism :yuk: such a sad future for Piloting :{
|
Hey, at least he left the tail hanging over the ledge - just like VF says!:)

Yeah maybe but we're not signing him off until we have verification that his skids were aligned...
|
Ahhh but do they have to be aligned with the direction the aircraft is pointing, or the direction that his seat is now pointing considering it has probably torn itself loose. Extra points if one skid aligns with nose and one with seat!
|
After getting away with that "landing" they may as well be pointing to Mecca!
