Where'd the tail go?

Peter the "Pumpkin eater" will have all the answers.

Davy Jones's locker by the look of it.

Good job by the pilot. |
Excellent Airmanship!

Pilot and two passengers on board. Tail rotor fell off just after take-off. I've got a hunch the mechanic might be feeling a little nervous about it! I wonder if the passengers get a refund?

The funny video refers to the front falling off

Ummm I think the mechanic is safe 🧐 I’d be checking the leading edge on the blades 😬 |

Great there's been a happy ending for the pilot and the pax, guess somebody else will have some explaining to do, but on a lighter note I've now been enlightened by 'the front end fell off' .... just spend the last 10 mins watching several vids by the same guys!, ta very much and sorry if that high jacked the post!

Nothing wrong with the leading edges. The whole tailrotor is cutting edge technology! No Its a perfect example of a negative G tail boom strike. Maybe the pilot does believe it just fell off... |
The R44 main rotor blades are long enough to hit the tail and take it clean off, really?

Too far aft and too clean for a tail boom strike.

It will be interesting to find the reason. Gone from the gearbox. Sort of wonder if the tail rotor has struck a bird, drone or something has come from the cabin and taken out a TR blade |
