@r44flier great recovery...you cant account for passenger stupidity even when they're told what not to do...

This taken inside a hanger at an airport... lol :)

Where was this taken plz answer

Amazing how many experienced heli pilots commented here. I am not a pilot but I do know there was still a lot of energy in that rota at moment of touchdown. I assume the cyclic pitch was pushed forward creating enough life at the back of the rota to tip the aircraft forward.
The pilot elected to power up again and the bottom line was he recovered control with no damage.

@baconVader still doesn't change the situation. Close the throttle to avoid excess pivot aka something like a dynamic rollover. If he closed it immediately when he was bumped, he would have just settled on the ground. But I suppose any flight when you and the craft come out okay...is fine.

Nearly lost the tail cone.

This shows just how responsive the controls can be in a heilcopter. I've no doubt I would have made the cabin smelly.

From the video is seen he lands very clean and then happens some nasty unpredicted thing when he was already landed.In front of him he had a small airplane (not a good situation).he stabilized the Robinson fast.he didn't crash anything.
Im not a pilot and i neverever flow a Robinson, what i know they are very picky how your flying it.If the pilot is new to it they have a terrible high accident rate.

@MrUzminiNu The pilot was flying the helicopter terribly bad...He should have closed the throttle and and landed. He was being too heavy on the controls.

Phuuu...the pilod did a good job!
8. It was definitely scary stuff and I will forever live with the view of the tarmac in front of my nose, and one of the rear passengers screaming and shouting OMG.
Amazing that someone was there videoing it – it was as bad as it looks.
And finally, thank you for the well dones, and as for the few flamers – you try being in that situation and having to act quickly and unexpectedly, just when you’re concentrating on making a good landing with everyone watching.
