One of my A&P instructors, Marine CH53 mechanic, showed us videotape of a CH53A looping and rolling. He said that a CH53 on the ground will chop off the front of the cockpit if the cyclic is pushed forward abruptly. |

It never ceases to amaze me just how far the blades can flap. I can imagine the comment the pilot made right after that happened! :-) Does anyone know what kind of consequences the pilot might have faced after this kind of incident? Also, are there any significant maintenance issues for the blades and rotor system after something like this? It looks like a non-issue but you never know. Fly Safe, Steve R. |
