Looks like this company lost a chopper just now. https://helitrans.no/ Reports says 6 souls on board, no details yet. |
4 people confirmed killed. The accident happened near the Arctic town of Alta. Still no further details, but the weather seemed clear (from news clips in Norwegian media) |
Airbus 360 Helicopter according to this paper: https://www.altaposten.no/nyheter/20...a-19826759.ece Article in Norwegian with a few pictures from the scene. |

Sorry about that: I did pull out the online dictionary, and you are correct Sir. (Speaking too many languages and you get mixed up, especially as you get older.) Mea Culpa, Mea Maxima Culpa. |

Could we perhaps be a little more respectful, hours after the accident? |

Not sure how you jump from "just speculating" to "case solved". CFIT is a plausible cause here. A mechanical problem not induced by the pilot is pretty unlikely for a 2 month old helicopter.

in my experience, it's the new ones that have the teething problems...

Six now confirmed dead, Swedish pilot and five locals in their early twenties. Helicopter was performing sightseeing trips for festival participants.

Can someone describe Jack Stall / Servo Transperancy as mentioned above. What exactly is it?
I'm guessing the servos lock up, and it can't be overridden. Do the accumulators help on the AS350? |
This topic has been discussed in detail a couple of times here at Rotorheads.

The Norwegians must offer quite the scenic tour experience if they are able to end up in jackstall.

Happens more than you think.
I had a pilot at the end of tree-planting season, giving all the tree-planters a ride of their life, high G turns, negative G pushovers, steep banks, nap of the earth stuff....funny thing when he was in view of camp, he flew like a fricken angel. Cant let the wrench see what he was doing you know. guess he didn't realize sound travels and i could hear every twist, turn and bank from miles away. bottom line, many pilots fall prey to giving the passengers a ride to remember...if they survive. |
Mechanics (Engineers for those who prefer that title) have done in many a Pilot and Passengers too....so what is your point re this particular tragedy?
