damn at first it didn't look as if he was flying that low!

if you try hard enough you can crater anything

Cocky Pilot error fail!

Was this film work for "Firebirds" (Originally called "Wings of the Apache" working name). I do know a Bo-105 crashed in the making of "Firebirds" and the pilot died. Does anyone have any more information on this crash?

@eman20083421 Wanker, in 37 supposed years you got fuck all for brains or respect.

left stick at the top of the turn would have avoided this crash. there is nothing unusual about the BO-105. it is a rigid rotor system, but this was totally avoidable. he simply let his nose down and failed to pull out of the turn in time.

@heikokaftan Why does pulling pitch cause a right roll on this ship? I've never heard of that but I also know nothing about the Bo 105

One mistake is all it takes unfortunately, he was a good pilot. RIP
Siegfrieds accident is used in flight school to teach German Army Bo105 Pilots not to do the same. BTW this accident was more then twenty years ago and may be He didn't even know about this aerodynamic effect yet. His accident had to happen so that others would learn from it. I know all that because I have flown a military Bo105 for the German Army more then 1300hrs.

I have never read so much crap. This is a real Helicopter! Flown by Siegfried Hermann (not by Karl "Charly Zimmermann). Siegfried was a test pilot working for MBB in Germany. Flying this US registered Helicopter for a movie stunt. The reason that he crashed is a known aerodynamic behavior of the Bo105. Collective pitch pull causes the Helicopter to roll to the right. You do that at low altitude and you get closer to the ground. Usually pitch pull is to gain altitude but in this case it was wrong
