I think he was tracking straight because he kept his forward speed up. He seemed to be keeping his speed up for that reason, and was also the reason for the fast/hard landing. If he had slowed down he would have spun out of control.

Exactly why he kept his airspeed up.

Wind blowing over the vertical fin in the back keeps the helicopter from spinning if the tail rotor fails as long as you keep 40 to 60 knots of forward airspeed. If you slow too much or try to hover it will spin violently out of control... So, if in forward flight you do a run on landing. This guy did a good job of saving it.

@ripcurl010 We call that a run on landing.

never seen a helicopter land like a plane before

Looks like an AS355.

excellent landing. i mean outstanding. ive practiced tail rotor failures before. usually if you keep your airspeed above 40 knots you can maintain directional control. the wind rushing over the airframe keeps it steady. thats why helicopters are tear drop shaped.

Great frickin landing. wow.

@odeonprog saying "i know i'm right" is not very productive. it indeed comes a bit too straight for a too long time for a tail rotor failure induced autorotation. also he doesn't even flare at all. a tail number would be very helpful ...

High Tensile stinger did its job perfictly..

@pf126p I mean weathervaining.

@pf126p I know I'm right! It was my boss.

Probably because it slammed into the asphalt. Question is, why?
Sorry, why what? It's an AS 350.
