    I always always always use self checkout when available. Makes it easier to avoid annoying conversation.

    may as well put this here since its everywhere currently.




    sounds like the engine flutters a bit when it goes down.

    its at the beginning its very subtle but the engine noise drops for a split second and then whines up.

    I'm interested in what the ntsb will rule on this, granted the final report may not be for a year. The way the engine spooled up makes me think that there wasn't any issues with power but that somehow the collective was rapidly dropped, or that a connection failed causing the pilot to lose collective authority.

    after a second look, the rear propeller completely stops mid air.

    I think that is from the anti torque rotor's speed matching the frame rate of the camera filming.
    an example of it is this can be seen with the main rotor of this Hind seemingly being frozen.


    I thought at first that perhaps he had a loss of tail rotor control and had to drop collective to prevent a spin but I didn't see the helicopter start to yaw to indicate it.

    Thomas Hennessy said that Serenity is a made-for-TV-movie, Mal is a Solo Wannabe, and Jar Jar Binks is underrated during the CIG movie stream. I just had to vent my nerd exasperation somewhere.

    From my experience i would have to say that helo experienced a broken synch shaft and to avert an uncontrollable spin the pilot dropped the collective into a neutral position.. you can plainly see the main rotor blades at a level pitch and no flex to the blade indicating no load on them (positive or negative).

    1/2 of the tail rotor shows distortion by about 15 degrees, which is a further indicator of catastrophic failure of the synch shaft.... after bird strikes... synch shaft failure is high on the list of most helo crashes.

    there is a reason that components of a helos rotor system are named "Lord" mounts and "Jesus" nuts...because when they fail... there is a good likelyhood that will be the next person you see.
