Didn’t Bristow have a Puma do that on a rig offshore Malaysia years ago? I think Okanagan had an similar event with a Puma or 61 many moons ago. Both where shutdown at the time and vicious line squalls ruined the day.
I recall both resulted in rollovers. Saw some photos of both events. |
Yes - not new at all.

To be correct, its CP force - CF is an imaginary force…..

If the unrestrained blades started turning by themselves in response to the storm's winds, would this phenomenon be classified as "Ottorotation"?

Your best bet might be to upload it to YouTube then link to it from here. |

Ouch !!. It seems strange that, having shut down, if the pilots considered it necessary to tie the airframe down due to strong winds, they didn't tie the blades down.

The rotors never stopped turning, so trying to 'catch' and tie down blades in those conditions would have been extremely hazardous.

Goes to show what a crap rotor brake is fitted to the H175.

HSE are going to love this one. |
A couple of questions if I may. Was the aircraft shut down within the RFM wind limits? Having shut the engines down, did the rotor brake fail?
