Google "helicopter autorotation", you might learn something.
I don't need to. I already know about it. I've flown offshore numerous times and taken water survival, BOSIET, etc more times than I wanted to. I learned how to push on the corner of a window and swim out. Got the certs and cards to prove it. Probably flown more times than most here and anyone that knows how to swim can get out if a helicopter after it lands in the water if they are still conscious. But whatever. I'm sure 90% of you are pilots.

How many times have you flown in a helicopter? You could probably multiply your number by 10 and still won’t be close to the number of flights that I have been on.

This is irrelevant information.
A couple of the pilots I regularly have, have actually been through some serious situations including landing in the water. The worst chances for survival are during landing and take off. The best chances are with higher altitude.

If you know so much about helicopters, why would you say that an engine failure at altitude would be fatal for all on board? It will fall like a stone if the pilot decides to place it all in God's hands, but if he continues to pilot his aircraft and has the proper skills, a hard landing is in your future, not necessarily a fatal crash.

If you know about it and have been through all those classes, then why did you post this:

And if the engine goes out at altitude, everyone on board is a goner.
That is a 1000% false statement

quote:Cool you have flown a whole bunch. How about next time ask the pilot about auto rotation if you think engine failure will cause the helicopter to fall like a rock. Offshore workers are worse than flight nurses. Think because they fly on helicopters often they know everything about them.

You have no clue what you’re talking about, you dumb Boudreaux.
Posted on 3/11/19 at 8:18 pm to saintsfan1977
I actually am a pilot. You actually are ignorant. Sorry for the families.

Sad for the 2 guys families that lost loved ones today. On another note man I have a serious itch for a helicopter and somewhat of a need enough to justify it. What’s the truth are they really that dangerous? Any serious advice from those with experience?
