    After an investigation by the FAA and NTSB, it was concluded that the pilot was flying over the race when suddenly he heard an announcer on a loud speaker who was so atrocious that the pilot lost the will to live. After unsuccessfully dying in the subsequent crash, he ran down the hill to kill the announcer with his bare hands.

      That is what I thought too. He went back around into where his prop wash was still rolling. Thought he had time to scoot sideways too, but might have been scared of going over the people to get altitude by going downhill. If so, kudos for crashing in a field rather than risking people to save a machine.

    increased throttle. The pilot stated that the engine did not respond so he continued to lower the collective and looked for a place to

    The pilot was one of my instructors a good few years back. He was flying heavy with bad wind direction. He did a good job making sure he brought it down without hurting anyone. The owner was happy it was insured for more than it was worth. Sometimes you just need to tell the camera guys inside you just can't get the shot instead of forcing it and chancing a incident like this.

The pilot should always do what allows for safety.

I'm not saying he didn't mess up just saying that he was a good pilot making a lapse in judgment. I talked to him after and he understands the mistake.

    Yes I do fly R22's, and R44's. I'm a CFII with endorsements to instruct in both. Your statement that the helicopter shouldn't get into a low rotor situation because it has a governor is misleading and dangerous. The governor fine tunes the throttle input to keep the engine rpm at the appropriate level to keep the rotor rpm in the green. At high DA you can hit "full throttle" and the governor can do nothing to help.This finite amount of power is why it is challenging to fly high, hot and heavy.

    @straightwithpedals 11 лет назад +2

    Actually, what you see here, from the pilot's response to the low-RPM horn was absolutely correct: lower pitch, then increase throttle, failing which look for a landing spot. From experience, I have little doubt that the road would have saved the helicopter, but may have struck a racer. Given the circumstances, most pilots' reactions (mine included) would have been much the same. The more pertinent question is what led to the loss of power, and the NTSB concluded it was due to density altitude.

    • @blondblue1949
      @blondblue1949 3 года назад

      Yes. The pilot did do exactly what should have been done when he found himself there, however, he should have never found himself there; a hot day, too heavy, too slow, and too low, and no real place to land at that point. He accommodated the camera man instead of the aircraft and situation.

  • @straightwithpedals
    @straightwithpedals 11 лет назад

    "The pilot had just performed a left-pedal turn and the helicopter was facing upslope to the mountain. The low rotor warning sounded and the pilot lowered the collective and increased throttle. The pilot stated that the engine did not respond so he continued to lower the collective and looked for a place to land. During the forced landing on the downsloping terrain the helicopter came to rest on its nose, resulting in substantial damage to the main rotor, skid tubes, and tail boom." (ntsb.gov)

    @seaswirl79 I included the pilots report to illustrate that they got into and CAN get into low rotor RPM despite having a governor. The governor does nothing to help low rotor when a lack of power/high density altitude situation exists.

  • @seaswirl79
    @seaswirl79 11 лет назад +1

    Those things have governors and you shouldn't be getting into a low rotor RPM situation. Most likely, he was just too heavy, too high when it was too hot. If you fly helicopters like I do, it's called high density altitude.
    From the NTSB: The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:
    The pilot’s decision to operate the helicopter at a high density altitude near terrain, which resulted in a settling with power condition
