they said it was a normal training exercise but it was actually training for an SAS mission .

"Vortex ring state," "rotor droop," "GPS problem." Thank God for all the YouTube aviation experts. Who needs mishap reports? I can just ask a YouTube expert. Sweet.

Was probably a vortex ring state. Given the bad weather the pilot was probably descending to fast vertically.

Damn, if they hadn't have lost the tail rotor he probably would have been able to correct that

look closely at the pilot door at 0:10 it looks like the gets open and the pilot falls out

[brankog7]

dont get it; the sea looked calm, visibility good, clear deck. gung ho pilot ?

[ebglider91]

The enquiry said it was rotor droop.

[superpiduh]

Aviation Week dot com has a small write up that indicated it was either a GPS problem or "rotor droop", a condition where the downwash of the rotor was at the same speed as the descent of the copter, causing the blades to provide no lift.
