This emergency rescue helicopter almost became the emergency itself. The BK 117 was about to land to pick up a victim in Phoenix (USA) when it suddenly lost power on one of its two engines. Fortunately, no one was hurt.

  • VRS? Does penicillin clear that up?

  • hahaahaaaahhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaa­aaaa

  • i gotta agree, after watching a few times, looks like VRS, exacerbated by increased collective

  • this is a classic example of Vortex ring, any helicopter pilot will know about this and there is no excuse

  • great heli....and I agree with nebbo037 completely. a great heli with both engines. sustained forward flight on one engine is possible as long as it is already established in forward flight. hell of a landing procedure though :-)

  • I bet the cameraman still has nightmares.

  • @Velislide if you knew what you were talking about you would realise that an autorotation needs forward airspeed and a heavy Bk117 cannot hover heavy with only one engine. Guess your not a pilot...

  • LANDED!

  • is that a single or dual pilot helicopter
