Default Kompress hard landing

Looks like a two seater (tandem) CH-7 Kompress. Anyone with details on
this flight?

I don't think I'd classify that as a landing in any way, shape or
form. That was a crash.


I thought that any l;anding that you can walk away from was a good
landing. He walked...a little...

Default Kompress hard landing

At the start of the video, the nose of the heli is
pointed almost straight down as if he is coming
out the back side of a loop. I've not done that
many autos, but it didn't look like any of the
ones I've been involved with. It kinda looked
like a loop with not enough ground clearance.
Hard to tell from the clip. One thing for sure is
that his day went south in a hurry... Hope he
survived, because that much deacceleration can
cause massive internal injuries.

Looked like as soon as his two "crutches" let go of him, he slowly
crumpled to the ground.

Auto gone bad???

I have to admit I almost ended up like that. The autorotation minimum
ROD in the OH-58 is 43 knots however the standards call for 60 knots
prior to 100" AGL. By myself one day at Ft Eustis I thought I'd perform
a minimum ROD auto to the runway. I got too busy watching the rotor and
my intended landing spot I forgot to get back to 60 knots before 100'. I
found there was very little decel available and it was just one quick
pull to reduce the ROD. I was very lucky that time. But the picture in
my head at the time was just like that video.
