NY

because of a medical emergency. The captain turned due east, towards
land, and opened the throttle...

Miami TV news helicopter crashes by
[email protected]
The reason we that he tried to do a loop on the helipad had asked the other helicopter near by to take a video. That's the real reason, he made a mistake, tail boom strike or the helicopter broke. But the truth is he tried to perform a stunt.

own sweat, and refusing to lower...

You will have to be signed off by and instructor for that aircraft. Do you
already own a flyable Scorpion? You will most likely have to get back in the
R22 for your check ride.

number of rotor blades by
Rob Fonhof
Just a theoretical question that someone may be able to help with.
Alot of helicopters have only two rotor blades, ie:Robinsons, Bells, etc.
Others have multiples, ie:dauphins with 4, Hughes etc.

What would happen if you had...

Engine Out Operation by

I'm curious. Can a Blackhawk, Chinook, or other large military
helicopter hover with one engine out? What is the procedure for one-
engine-out operations for large helicopters? I assume no one auto
rotates a 30,000 lbs helicopter???
The obvious internet searches didn't help.
