J D 8 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Like I said a bit of paint and fil- - - Phew that was close,lucky other aircraft hit off center or prop would have done its worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Privett Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 First video - A rather expensive error of judgement. I don't suppose the Greek government have enougfh cash to do that too often. Second video - Heck that was close to being an awful lot worse. Read the full account written by the pilot, especially the final paragraph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Jones Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 He's no stranger to emergencies, see how quickly he reacts to the engine failure to trade speed for height. I'd trust him any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel R Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 "First video - A rather expensive error of judgement. I don't suppose the Greek government have enougfh cash to do that too often." Actually there are now other videos posted highlighting the engine failure - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LE3GpxD_IR0 Around ten seconds in is the slow motion bit where you can see the flash from the exhaust. Maybe it is more a case of the pilot having nowhere else to go, with an autorotating heli at ground level; perhaps the beach had people on it, in which case he did a pretty good job of a sharp turn around and safe ditching.
