This is a Turbine Enstrom Helicopter on the Heli Pad of a Greenpeace ship some where off the coast of Ireland. One of the deck straps has not been released correctly, with what was very nearly disastrous consequence. Pilot skill and quick thinking saved the day.

  • good pilot

  • If you notice the helicopter rocks forward a little every time the deck of the ship heaves. once the pilot was light on the skids, a heave of the ship would be all it takes to get the helicopter airborne earlier than the pilot anticipated. Nice job putting her down, early recognition of tail rotor loss due to striking the deck. I dont know if I buy the deck strap theory that the poster indicates. You clearly see all the deck straps being removed and actually being taken away by the ground crew.
