- Crash, fortunately without injuries, of a helicopter of the Guardia di Finanza on Saturday morning at the airport of Bolzano. The accident occurred during a training session when the aircraft, an Agusta Westland AW169, was still on the ground with the rotors in motion. Suddenly it tipped over on its right side. The crew of two was uninjured. Investigations have been initiated to establish the exact dynamics of the accident.

he managed to crash an aircraft from a stationary position. That is a remarkable achievement. You can't even do that in a flight simulator.
@Robert S exactly, the MI-24??? Dont even get me started.
Something catastrophic happened to the flight controls or a severe pilot error. But I’ll go with my first guess.
By the way, I flew for the Army 89-96.
If he had released / dropped collective would that have helped? If he did, why did it not? Thanks and Best Regards!
@@blessedheavyelements8544 hard to say without more information. The best I heard was a failure to release the front nose wheel while they were taxiing. That’s is my summation after reading all the comments.
All of my aircraft I flew were skid helicopters. So, I don’t want to speak as an expert on something I have never flown. Keep reading the comments. There are some smarter people here on this topic than me.

If you gotta crash, it's best to do so before taking off!
Easier for that 911 call, to find the address.
Yes u r right
right...
Although a small crash with a huge gasped
Never have the truer words been spoken.
I like how the guy was running away, but still looking back because he didn't want to miss the show.
Yea 😂me too
Chaos is a rare thing to witness live
Yeah or he looked as a professional to see if he could do something. Somebody has played too much DCS World...
Would you look at it ?
More like casually walking away, either in shock, or just dumb.
as an expert youtube commentator i can unequivocally state the pilot is doing it wrong
As an expert I can tell you are a 🤡
I'm pretty sure aircraft crash investigators just blame the pilot no matter what anyway..
And for that, we thank you.

Loool great one!!
The ground is the best place for a helicopter to be when crashing
Word 😂
I love turtles 🐢
not if you were airborne though
Agreed, less height is better in cases like these.
@@cadendicky1855 wouldn't it actually be way better if there's no grounds at all? 🤔
You know you're a pro when you manage to crash a helicopter without even leaving the ground!
It's a complicated machine which doesn't forgive a tiny mistake. If a pilot is a noob he will total this thing just by sitting there.
The only way it could have been more poetic is if the engine was also off
A large number of helicopter accidents happen on the ground as it's the most dangerous place for a helicopter.
Actually he didn't "crash" the heli, it just turn over on spot.
@@marcelOberauer yeah, technically you need to be airborne in order to crash an aircraft, "technically"
Incident report says :
A Leonardo AW169, operated by the Guardia di Finanza (coded 504) started to taxi, paused, veered to the left, lost directional control and fell on one side, no injuries are reported. Substantial damage is reported on the helicopter. In base of the investigations and simulations made by Leonardo the accident occurred because the pilot didnt unlock the forward wheel and tried to began taxi, then he understood that the front wheel was blocked and he unlocked It, that caused the helicopter to veer to the left because of the thrust applied by the pilot and crash on the taxiway.
Very interesting. The pilot should concentrate upon finance matters and forget about being entrusted another helicopter.
That report doesn't make sense... but, why didn't pilot apply full right pedal or why didn't he cut the power (throttle) or something?
Because he panicked and happened to fast as many times when it comes to crashes of any kind @@DevrimBabacan
This event reminds me of my last day in Vietnam. I got into a Huey for my flight to Cam Ranh Bay, and as the Huey pilot was revving up the Huey engine, our pitch change link broke. Immediately the Huey rotor began to oscillate wildly. After a few seconds the pilot began to shut down the engine and the main rotor blades began to smooth out. Then the pilot ordered all 8 passengers to evacuate the aircraft. He didn't have to make that command twice. Later that day I caught another Huey ride to Cam Ranh Bay, and caught my DC-8 jet (Freedom Bird) flight home to my family and friends. I got home to Pennsylvania one day before the Woodstock Festival in August of 1969.
Great story! Glad you got home safely and thanks for your service!
Yeah but did you actually make it to Woodstock?
Very interesting read, thank you for sharing!
Ty for your service so glad you made it back🙏🏻🙌🏼👊🏻
@@johnnytyler5685 yes we have to know!
On a side note, now we know it’s technically possible to do donuts in a helicopter
😂😂😂
haha!
Love your positivity my friend.
You mean, it is possible to do it but probably a maximum of one time per airframe :D
Ok
From initial information, nose wheel lock was left on (it can only go straight). As the FP applied left pedal to taxi left, the aircraft didn't turn as much as expected. They stopped and likely realised that the wheel lock was still on and released it. Unfortunately the left pedal was still applied and the helo started spinning on the ground. Expensive error.
Pilot error then?
@@bird1lives Yes sir.
It looked like a pilot error and I couldn't figure it out how and I'm familiar with helicopter's mechanics. That makes totally sense.
Too expensive! That is why we normally train pilots using Cicare SVH4 first... who in his right mind will use a U$ 10 million helo as training equipment!!!
Still I do not understand why they cannot use right pedal then
that guy with the fire extinguisher better have at least got a raise. a man that devoted to his job, despite the obvious dangers involved w/ it, is a man you want to keep around
Yea he ran back even while shrapnel was still flying around.
Amazing capture ! Would you mind if I use part of this video , in one of my next episodes?Of course with a link back to your original video. Peace!
"Oops, I dropped my cell phone! I'll get it!"
😂😂😂😂👍
The crew said they were just going for a quick spin!
😂😂😂😂😂😂👍
I've heard of rotatling before takeoff but this example is a little extreme!
Yeah...spin of doom
ROFL 😹🤣😹😹😹🤣😹🤣
Get out. Lmao!
Makes me SUPER confident of the Guardia di Finanza being able to help anyone in need of help. Just WOW>

You know its going to end badly when your chopper is spinning round faster than the blade.
Hahhahahahahahahahaha
In that case you need to use handbrake
For all you keyboard critics out there, the flightline safety manual clearly states "If you are within 40 feet of an out of control helicopter, gently mosey away from the situation."

Knowing that nobody got hurt and everyone was ok, I find this crash hilarious. It's like some RL cartoon, Donald Duck trying to pilot the heli.

I'm thinking the pilot should leave that one off his resume.
That sounds like it would be for the best
pues puede ser falta de mantenimiento mecanico por parte de la empresa, podrian denunciar al dueño del helicoptero. ha podido matar a gente si ese piloto decide levantar vuelo.
No way man, any crash you can walk away from is a landing.
Should put on his resume that he did a donut in his helicopter.
@@paulmurgatroyd6372 --It never left the ground. Now, why didn't the pilot cut the power and flatten the pitch when the heli was not controllable? That could have saved it!
0:40 The pilot tries to turn the helicopter but the helicopter is not turning.
0:45 The pilot uses "a lot of power" trying to turn the helicopter, but he forgot to disengage the front wheel "lock".
0:47 The pilot disengages front wheel lock, now helicopter starts turning a lot.
Once he was in the spin, was there a way out without crashing?
@@deadbolt91765 opposite rudder should have stopped the spin but I think the pilot was so caught off guard with the situation that he did not react properly
my man just solved the crash
you gotta tell them that doe
There’s so many ways to crash a helicopter. Never seen that one before.
I'm no expert in rotorcraft but do you think it could have also happened because of the possibility of tail rotor failure that ultimately led to non-existent counteraction of the torque effect ultimately causing the whole thing to spin out of control?
Expensive loss of an aircraft indeed but it is incredibly fortunate that neither crew member were injured.
no
@@paulscott6605 Do you care to explain?
@@vinaymulukutla358tail rotor failure would generally cause the machine to spin in the direction opposite to what you see here, as a rule if viewed from above , rotors that spin anticlockwise have a torque reaction that would cause the fuselage to rotate clockwise, Newton's third law of motion, for every action there's an equal and opposite reaction. In this case the machine is on the ground and there's not a lot of torque at the main rotor subsequently, however you give it a bootfull of left pedal that's still a significant counteracting force for torque that's not at the level it would be when the helicopter is in flight
Do you know the definition of any of the words you used? 😂
@@rickwilliams967 Why don't you enlighten me? You seem to know so much more....
Every AW pilot has forgotten to unlock the nose wheel before taxiing. But letting it get to that point before noticing… yikes!
One thing is for sure: the quality of the helipad is superb. Not a single scratch even after hammered by the rotor blade. Who is the contractor of this helipad?
Odell Complete Concrete. His 93rd uploaded video on youtube s the pouring of that pad
Not from China.
The fire extinguishers guy was brave at standing there waiting to get to the helicopter
He should have known that any part of those rotors could have took his head off. His lack of awareness is is mind boggling.
@@gingerjessy yeah that kind of bravery lol
yeah, catching debris with his cape
@@fabiovezzari2895 being stupid is not being brave.
@@izil1fe You don't understand the concept of braveness. He is brave precisely because he knows the power of the machine and waits there facing that force waiting for the moment to help someone. Bravery has nothing to do with "ignorant" or "exaggeration" that would be the concepts of "stupidity". A man facing a beast to protect someone, even though he knows he will not(or can't, or have fewer changes to) succeed, is bravery and not "stupidity". I would say he is stupid trying to stop the machine by hand. But that wasn't what happened. He probably couldn't run and was worry about the human being in that machine. The opposite of the other civil man.
Aircraft Incident. Subject aircraft never transitioned into flight phase. Would be interesting to review the incident report about the findings of the investigation. Hope no serious injuries.
When we visited Disneyland as a kid, this is what my dad would do on the tea cups ride. We’d start spinning and he’d just keep spinning us faster until my head was pinned back and all I could see was sky. Thank God my dad wasn’t a helicopter pilot.
I don’t think he’s quite got the hang of it yet !👍🏻🇬🇧
Glad everyone is okay! Those bit's and pieces, that flew off, could have killed.
A similiar thing happened in 2018 on an airfield near my home. A military helicopter landed to fuel up. Got to close to the tower, where the gas station is, and touched it's wall. Pieces of brick hit an employee of the airfield and killed him.

Pre flight crash suitability test procedure?
this aircraft has a nose wheel lock, I think it was left on and they tried to turn, then when they released the nose lock it spun
I agree, nose wheel looking pushed
@We The Peopleright! Moreover there is no need to move the stick from center position while still on the ground. Could it be a fault? There would be no explanation for a full forward/right stick
@We The People I think pilots hold cyclic stick as holding rack in withstanding centrifuge force.
Its not by intention. But wheel lock might be the cause of accident.
@We The People Chopper had spined uncontrollably. Unless there're other holding rack for them ,I think they hold it instead naturally.
@We The People I think you misunderstand my meaning. I mean at the moment the pilots can't control the chopper anymore. He hold cyclic just to secure his balance weight.
This accident made me remember a similar crash on ground, when pilot made his 8 year old son sit on co pilot seat just for adventure and his son suddenly pushed the cyclic to extreme left..
Pre flight checks are actually very important

Stick to the original
So many things can go wrong when operating a helicopter. That looked like he lost tail rotor authority by the way the aircraft spun like that. The main rotor started to tilt and I didn't see any extreme angle in the tail rotor blades. Perhaps there was an issue with the tail drive shafts, or IGB, or TGB. Who knows? Either way, that was definitely a bad day.

Can't believe how casually that guy just walked away while looking back, the second it started turning you could tell something was seriously wrong, he should have been running as fast as possible to get around the corner of the building, he's very lucky he wasn't killed. And then there is the other guy who was behind him, just popping in and out of the building and when the chopper breaks apart he looks like he's just worrying about a bunch of luggage, doesn't even run to see if the people in the chopper are ok.. wow..
That gives the ground crew something to do, besides looking pretty next to that fire extinguisher.

You’d think the first time it spun round he’d shut it down!.
He’s got a real talent for turning a helicopter into a jigsaw puzzle!.
It looks as though a pilot trainee got a foot pedal stuck causing the aircraft to spin & tip. They would likely not have been injured as they would have been well restrained by the 4-way seatbelts & hopefully they wore helmets. The fuselage appears to be intact but the fire crew were lucky not to be shredded by the composite blade fragments tossed around.
This is bizzare, but that's what apparently happens when the small blade stops spinning.
