  • If you Google "VH-WYS LTE incident" you'll find the full incident report there in the PDF file.

  • Thumbs up if you thought this was fake in the beginning with a 12 year old holding a mini helicopter on top of a 12 story building.

  • put the fucking colective down damn it! thats an LTE and then he fell in to hes own downwash! lucky you didnt had a mastbump for such low rotor RPM ! your blades could have exploded upwards!

    LOW RPM WARNING = COLECTIVE DOWN - CYCLIC FORWARD!

    i can hear the pilot pushed the colective even more when it started to spin!

    tisk tisk.

    (of course... i wasent there, i am siting on my home drinking coffe... BUT. all piltos know. LOW RPM = COLECTIVE DOWN! NOT UP!

  • @airisheaven no it waent! he almost killed everyone... the PILOT got the heli in that situtation.

  • WOW GREAT SAVE!!!! I ADMIRE THAT!!!!

  • @rotorheadroath She wasn't the one flying. If you listen carefully you can hear the pilot say i'm going down.

  • @pochito1810 Haaaa

  • The boaters sure got a nice show.

  • The real helicopters have lock tail gyro?

  • @Obelix6 because its a Robinson helicopter and they have low inertia rotor systems and the she was got into VRS quickly and then tried to initate a recovery by pulling more power making things worse. A rookie mistake. She probably wasnt paying as close attention to her RPM also.
