THE SIKORSKI SH-60 SEAHAWK IS IN THE FLIGHT DECK OF A US NAVAL FRIGATE, NOT AN AIRCRAFT CARRIER. THIS BIRD SHOULD BEEN TIED DOWN TO THE DECK WITH A 12-16 POINT TIE-DOWN.
@bionictrucker1 they were trying to straighten the bird with the RAST system. I've participated about 100 times. Someone should have been standing by with chains in case it started to roll over.
Why didn't they chain the helo ? Idiots... I'm sure the CO of the ship and the Det OINC got a good reaming and they would have deserved it. Looks to me that numerous procedures were ignored across the board... Regardless of the conditions, this is unsat.
Been there done that on numerous cruises. Never saw anything like this.
Looks like they were traversing, engine plugs are in, brake rider in, when it rolls over the RSD is still moving. The tail cables rolled the helo over. Maybe the RSD wasnt locked to the RAST.
Nothing really Happened to the Helicopter the part that Took all the Damage was the Rotorhead and the Rotorblades, but this is Still Extremely Expensive! :((
Question - why didn't the captain turn the ship headway INTO the wind? This would have minimized any crosswind issues and maximized the safety of aircraft crew and flight deck crew. Thank God the rotors weren't engaged and the pilot was about to take off.
LoL the 2 blades that hit the deck the first time were already totaled from the first tipping and would need to be replaced...very mighty but delicate machines huh.
@mitcharooni LoL please think ,why would a helicopter be on a destroyer? Destroyers are like a floating gun and has no need or room for a helipad or helicopter its a fridgate.
@madvid1996 Actually. I am a LAMPs pilot. We do land on Destroyers. Now, you might be right and that isn't one, but sure looks it. Just in case you still think i'm wrong go look look for a picture of DDG-87 USS Mason and you will see that they actually have room for TWO helos.
:31 SUPERMAN is here! He can hold it down, watch as he uses his incredible strength to push the chopper back upright. Unfortunately, the mighty EVIL wind would not be denied on this day.

@shakenama at that time of night, it isn't the captain thats in control of the ship, its the officer of the deck, could be anything from a Lt. to a Lt. commanderin control. you'd be surprised just how ofter the bridge forgets that we don't have the bird chained to the deck and we're still in the process of straightening it out so we can stuff it in the hangar
@killyoubitch27 HSL stands for Helantisubron Light (Helo Antisubmarine Warfare Light- the light dictates that it deploys out to smaller ships ie: frigates, destroyers, cruisers, etc.)
This Happened on a Frigate. In order to pull the aircraft into the hanger you have straighten the aircraft. The XO walked in and said turn the ship and when they turned, thats what happened. Plus there were rough seas as well. We did this countless times underway and have come close to doing the same thing. Those who want to argue go away, Was in the Navy 6 years and over 2 years of being deployed. Look carefully at :48 and you will see the guide wire hooked up in the back. PS 22 Mil on its side
I was on watch when this happened, and the XO was not the reason. We were taking 6-8 foot sweels on the beam which was going to make straightening difficult, plus we were about to enter a traffic separation scheme, so the OOD called down to ask them to chain it down while we came about for better seas. The Air Boss called back up and said that it was chained, so the Conning officer had us come around.
@Kopihucky YER EXACTLY RITE ABOUT THIS SIKORSKY SH-60 SEAHAWK BEIN ON A FRIGATE INSTEAD OF AN AIRCRAFT CARRIER. I WAS IN NAVAL AVIATION AS A JET ENGINE MECH FER 4 YEARS STATIONED AT NAS NORTH ISLAND--SAN DIEGO, CALI. MY AIRCRAFT CARRIER WAS THE USS NIMITZ.
The issue was the sea state the ship was operating in. When the ship is taking large rolls and the helo isn't secured to the deck, this can happen. The air det was attempting to straighten the helo so it can be moved into the helo hangar.
winds string enough to blow a copter over but doesn't even faze the guy walking around on the deck huh? Sometimes they dump aircraft at sea. Seen it before. so whats up with the vid?
@BoracayOcean69 it seems to me in my novice opinion that it was the surf and the movement of the ship that caused this not the wind but your guess is as good as mine
Did you see that guy tring to stop it from tipping mate I font think your really going to do much het maybe you can help pay for damages to get under it that might help
It was during a straightening evolution. Thats why there are no tie downs, and nobody near the aircraft. the ship took a roll as the rear wheel was turning, like it is supposed to do. This was a lot of things happening at once. No ones fault, accident at sea, doing what it is designed to do.
sorry Lordkamel, but your wrong. i had 10 years on Lynx on destroyers and frigates and been in mega seas. Helicopter should be lashed/chained down....if you are moving it on deck, you use running nylon lashes. Here, with the ship rolling as it did...someone fucked up.
due to the fact that your s.o.p. are different from ours since I'm taking it that your british royal navy that we have tail cables that are under the deck that are hooked up to pull the helo from right to left and the belly probe keeps the bird on deck and we use chains to keep the bird stable during non movements. Its a safty issue when moving on deck having people around and hensforth that why we have the cables. The ship tried to correct a movement during a bad swell and that what happend.
@Nicoladrag Sorry Nicoladrag, In the Navy for six years, No nylons used in straightning or moving. High seas were an issue but with in limits. Guide wires and RSD (If the beams are working properly) will hold up to 10 degree roll. XO had the ship change heading and the seas were hitting the ship broad side instead of cutting through them.
I'm a little confused. Where is the deck crew securing the helicopter? Could somebody whose actually worked helicopter operations on ship enlighten us?
Been there, done that, got the pictures. Only ours was running hot at the time. Wave came, helo rolled over. *B-B-B-BANG!* We found bits of the rotors on the *foc'sle*.
Wow, these guys did such a great job tethering the helicopter..... NOT. I mean, come on, $50 in chains to prevent a $40,000 problem. I bet you some guy got fired on that one.
that's way more than $40,000 in damage, it's at least $100,000 probably more just for new rotor blades and probably rotor head and then more depending on inspection requirements for transmission and mast after that kind of accident.
And it wasn't a "carrier flgith deck because of strong winds", it was on a frigate, and there were 9 foot swells that we were taking while in a shallow turn
Funny story there. The airboss (the guy you see attempting to push it back over) had called us up in the Pilot House and told us it was secured to the deck, and that we were clear to turn the ship. however, in all reality it wasn't secured to the flight deck at all, and as is evidenced in this video, the damn thing rolled over. When NCIS showed up in Spain to investigate, he said he'd never spoken to us.
Ouch... shitty thing coming from an airboss -- hope he got his ass kicked out of the navy for that. I couldn't see clearly but was the helo crew still in there? If so they must've about shit their pants when it rolled...
@USN1985 it wasn't a pilot sitting there, it was the brake rider, enlisted sailor that pulls the handbrake whenever the move coordinator tells him to put the brakes on
Amen to FatKiwiBeerDrinker !! They are positioning the bird to tow into the hanger with the RAST system... and the CAM is hard-mounted to the boat so you don't see the rolling.
I rode the same thing with HSL-43 back in 1989... saved by ONE high-side chain.
In showing my age, my huey unit in Hawaii used to periodically do landings on the fan tail of a Navy oiler that was underway. And in every instant (over 30) of our skids touching the deck there were people attaching chains and securing the aircraft until we radioed for clearance to take off. I wonder if someone will have an involuntary allotment taken out to pay for those blades?
I see what was going on here. I spent 3 years on the USS Durham, 2 on the Lake Champlain and 1 years on the Carl Vinson. I was told by the HSL guys on the Champlain that you never go hard right rudder with a helo on deck, especialy while launching or recovering...lol
haha that guy ALLLMOST kept it from tippin over..... and that was just a joke.... for the ones that do know what happend surely it must of been the roll of the ship.. cuz its not that windy.. if they had strapped it down it wouldnt have tipped over
If you're not an HSL bubba you have no clue whats going on and therefore are unable to have an educated idea about this accident... Also that ACFT weighs 6.5 tons, wind is not going to blow it over rotors turning or not (which they aren't). And as every HSL Bubba knows, if somthings AFU then its the SHOE's fault (SHOE stands for: Stupidest Human On Earth)... you know who you are!!! and FFG's should all be scuttled, who makes a single shaft warship?
Allright for people who really dont know what is goin on, this is HSL-48 and I was there. The freakin crew and BM or QM or whoever started turning the boat while we were straightening it to get it in the hanger so uh yeah. It wasnt the wind or even the fact that we were turning the h-60. They turned the boat and believe me. The CO messed him up.
First off, this is NOT a carrier Flight Deck. This is the landing pad on the fantail of an FFG-7 Perry Class Frigate
Secondly it is not a high winds blowover. Look at the tags, yes they are blowing but this is not a high winds condition. from the looks the winds are about 20-30 knots which is normal.
The Crew was attempting to align the helo with the towtrack for pulling the helo into the hangar, this is what caused the twisting and the rollover. NOT the winds.
black hawk/seahawk blades currently cost $95,000.00 each (a piece)not to mention the cost of the airframe inspections that need to follow. chocks/chains were not installed
not 500 dollars, aircraft parts are fucking expensive. btw the wind was not only damage the the front rotor blades, it also damged the side. and maybe some instruments who knows.
Ummmm... price isn't quite close to what it actually costs. Looking at approximately $20,000-30,000 each, due to special material and parts. And as 41ACE had said... aircraft parts are expensive.
roll over, roll over... Good Boy!

Amen to FatKiwiBeerDrinker !! They are positioning the bird to tow into the hanger with the RAST system... and the CAM is hard-mounted to the boat so you don't see the rolling.
I rode the same thing with HSL-43 back in 1989... saved by ONE high-side chain.
Though I always DID like FFG's

In showing my age, my huey unit in Hawaii used to periodically do landings on the fan tail of a Navy oiler that was underway. And in every instant (over 30) of our skids touching the deck there were people attaching chains and securing the aircraft until we radioed for clearance to take off. I wonder if someone will have an involuntary allotment taken out to pay for those blades?

I see what was going on here. I spent 3 years on the USS Durham, 2 on the Lake Champlain and 1 years on the Carl Vinson. I was told by the HSL guys on the Champlain that you never go hard right rudder with a helo on deck, especialy while launching or recovering...lol

If you're not an HSL bubba you have no clue whats going on and therefore are unable to have an educated idea about this accident... Also that ACFT weighs 6.5 tons, wind is not going to blow it over rotors turning or not (which they aren't). And as every HSL Bubba knows, if somthings AFU then its the SHOE's fault (SHOE stands for: Stupidest Human On Earth)... you know who you are!!! and FFG's should all be scuttled, who makes a single shaft warship?

Allright for people who really dont know what is goin on, this is HSL-48 and I was there. The freakin crew and BM or QM or whoever started turning the boat while we were straightening it to get it in the hanger so uh yeah. It wasnt the wind or even the fact that we were turning the h-60. They turned the boat and believe me. The CO messed him up.

First off, this is NOT a carrier Flight Deck. This is the landing pad on the fantail of an FFG-7 Perry Class Frigate
Secondly it is not a high winds blowover. Look at the tags, yes they are blowing but this is not a high winds condition. from the looks the winds are about 20-30 knots which is normal.
The Crew was attempting to align the helo with the towtrack for pulling the helo into the hangar, this is what caused the twisting and the rollover. NOT the winds.

black hawk/seahawk blades currently cost $95,000.00 each (a piece)not to mention the cost of the airframe inspections that need to follow. chocks/chains were not installed

it was only the blades u blind twat...they dont cost very much....probably about $450-500each...not much if u think about it..?
McMintaboi 3 years ago
not 500 dollars, aircraft parts are fucking expensive. btw the wind was not only damage the the front rotor blades, it also damged the side. and maybe some instruments who knows.

Ummmm... price isn't quite close to what it actually costs. Looking at approximately $20,000-30,000 each, due to special material and parts. And as 41ACE had said... aircraft parts are expensive.

Good ole HSL-42 Det 6. Actually it was the Airboss (OIC) who tried to push it back. Heavy rolls and an RSD malfunction.
