HACHAZO Turn to retreating blade side close of ground...

[jeepinbanditrider]

He's pretty close to the ground but if you have a hardover you can shut down the hydsystem and recover if you have the altitude and muscular strength which in this case he definatly wouldn't have had the altitude.

The helicopter wasn't flying anywhere near the speed necessary for retreating blade stall. He was doing 60 or 70 knots max.

@sam1174 what speed does retreating blade stall start to happen

[Se7enT9]

I think it's both; side-slip, then retreating blade stall at the end. Don't forget the effects of precession would cause a pitch up, not roll to retreating blade side.

[domsantini]

that was a case of side slipping all the way to the ground. The ultimate penalty for showing off

[Obelix6]

@domsantini that is highly unlikely!

Come to braincopter we have the best helicopter videos!!!

I think that it´s a side slip in a not enought power and very close turn to the retreating blade side. (Left in this helicopter) It´s my opinion but... I`m not sure. Somebody know this accident? :-/

I think it is a cyclic hardover...not retreating blade stall. They were not travelling fast enough for RTS. The ship goes over hard to one side. It looks like the pilot tries to recover, then it goes back hard over again. If a hydraulic "hard over" occurs, the pilot would try to correct by using his arms muscular force against the hydraulic hard over, but the force of the hydraulic system would prove too much.
