@user-gk4fc2fz4e 10 ай бұрын

Unfortunately that is an aerodynamic result of a high decent rate and low airspeed with power applied, known as vortex ring state or settling with power. The correct way to recover from this is to gain airspeed and reduce power, however being this close to the ground it would be fair to assume that the pilot would try to arrest the high rate of decent by pulling more power. Unfortunately this would only make the situation worse. Personal I think the pilot made a pretty good job of what could have been much worse. The Robinson R22 and R44 does have, to a degree, the reputation for accidents, it is worth noting however that this is mostly due to its popularity with largely inexperienced pilots because of their comparatively lower cost to purchase and operate. Having a considerable amount of time in many different airframes including both the R22 and R44 I personally think they are a safe aircraft if flown with care and respect. 👍🚁

One of the best days of my life was when I flew with Jim Cheatham in an R22. He learned his helicopter skills in the US Army and honed them to a fine edge in the skies over Vietnam. At the airshows in Salinas he took that tiny aircraft and did Immelman loops, then killed the engine to show the crowd his auto-rotation skills, among at least a dozen more amazing tricks. He flew me over the waters of Monterey Bay to get the pictures of Stillwell Hall on Fort Ord that I had been hired to do. I asked him how close to the water he could get and he responded by asking if I knew how to swim then put the R22 just about two meters away from the drink, flying backwards into the wind so I could get the pictures. Many an accident victim was saved by his work at Verticare, his flying business. He left this world a better place. The R22 might not be the best machine up there but in the right hands it can do much more than you might guess.

I call “settling with power”. Edit: As a former Army helicopter pilot of a fair number of years. I understand both the ring vortex state and settling with power. With this bird as close to the ground and the possibility of a light tail wind, this fits what I learned in my aerodynamics classes and continual check rides while serving in the Army. He had no way of flying out of the conditions. If he lived, you’ll likely have seen the collective buried into his armpit and him concussed, slumped over the controls. I hope the pilot and anyone else onboard was ok.

@davidclaudy4822 Жыл бұрын

@@Nik-gh6gz The G forces involved in a very hard landing can be fatal and not show any obvious physical trauma on the body. Of course you’ll see bruises. Maybe a broken hand or arm. You can tell who was flying as their thumb and their wrist will be broken from holding onto the cyclic. The deaths occur, by the aorta being torn from the heart and subsequent death. We had two student pilots on their initial solo flight around the heliport. They had a mishap and managed to stick the front skids into a dirt berm and crashed. The damage to the aircraft was minimal. Rotor strike of the ground and tail boom flexing. But, engine and transmission were still in their mounts and the aircraft didn’t turn over or catch on fire. The two young men looked to have survived at first glance. However, upon doing the extraction and immediate trauma assessment, they were found to both be deceased. Autopsy showed the g forces ripped the aorta around the heart during the sudden forward and downward movement of the helicopter and the g forces involved. I don’t know how this differs from a car crash, but it appears to have been the combination of both vectors on the body and the nature of the g forces involved that caused the loss of their lives. This happened at Ft Rucker at some point in the years before I got to flight school in 1989. Scary stories like this were teaching tools used by the instructors to show examples of what not to do. I flew OH-58’s as a Scout Pilot for the US Army.

@@miltonboeck3550 The Sea Knight (Phrog) was actually an outstanding airframe. I only experienced one hard landing, and that was because the pilot did an actual autorotation, meaning he pulled the engine control levers (ECL's) back to ground idle, actually taking both engines off line. He didn't warn me about it either. It was kind of a hard landing but the aircraft handled it well. I was beyond pissed off, told him if he did that again I was going to kick the shit out of him, even if he was a captain.

He descended into his downwash. After doing that, he increased power which increases downwash… but he’s already descending so as he chops the air harder, he continues into the air that’s already turbulent and going downwards and is made even more turbulent by the increased power Bad cycle. Fix is to push forward and accelerate away from the messy air. Keep power the same or drop a bit if able. A smidge of a drop is fine when it helps you accelerate away from the big drop. I have never flown a helicopter.

Sure you did buddy ;) and how do you not decent into your rotor wash, doesnt that allways happen when you decent...? Doesnt that just lead to loss of translational lift which you just counter with more collective - to me it sounded like the rotor was losing rpm at the end maybe he was doing an autorotation and raised the collective too early running out of energy in the end?

@kari53 10 ай бұрын

@jeffreylebowski4927 I can totally understand how you may think adding more collective pitch would correct the situation. However, this is what catches pilots out. It becomes even more critical when you are near max payload. Do a little research on this, and you will find out how some aggressive approaches may work and when they do not work. In short, you have no lift when you fall into your rotor wash. Same when a small plane lands right after a heli does a taxi. It'll slam into the ground due to the turbulance.

It looks to me like the pilot was trying to do a steep approach to a somewhat confined area landing. They came in way too fast with a decent descent rate. They slowed the forward airspeed too fast with a descent rate still greater than 300 feet per minute and that’s all it took to get into VRS. They probably didn’t realize what was going on and tried pulling collective to stop the descent. Unfortunately this will only worsen the situation and increase the decent rate, which we saw happen here. The other indicator of a rapid collective increase is the intense right yaw. A rapid increase in power proportionally increases the torque applied to the helicopter and the pilot didn’t anticipate the demand.

A lot of people saying vortex-ring/settling with power. INCORRECT folks. Clearly there is a loss of power at the end, listen to the engine/blade rpm at the end of the approach. There are so many reasons this is not settling with power i can't be bothered to write them all but 1) there IS an obvious loss of power 2) there is plenty of forward movement 3) with loss of power, tail rotor looses effectiveness and the chooper starts to yaw to the right (which it does). Everything in this video says loss-off-power, NOT SETTLING WITH POWER. I have owned 10 of those awesome machines with more than 3000 hours. That's simply not what settling with power is going to look like.

If you hear the blades starting to slow while the chopper is in flight that means the something is dreadfully wrong. We don't reduce power by reducing blade RPM. For one thing, the blades are quite flimsy and are only kept in the outward "coned" position because of angular momentum. If you reduced power by reducing RPM everyone would perish because the blades would fold up. The FIRST rule of thumb is never let your rotor RPM diminish.

The pilot exceeded the safe descent rate causing a vortex ring state to occur… AKA settling with power…

yeah we need to get off this. It's like saying that most people in motorized accidents die in cars. They must be worse. No.... there's just more of them and you need less education, accreditation and equipment to run cars. Mathematicians don't make statistics. Many idiots make statistics.

I flew around Canada in a Gazelle over a decade ago and the pilot told me that the Gazelle and other small helicopters need to be flown a bit like planes. Yes they can do other things but you need to keep them under control. They don't have the ability to power out of a situation.

I spent 500 hrs in an EC135 as a paramedic. The pilots warned never get in a Robinson as there’s not enough inertia in the blades and it’s single engined…….enough for me 👍🏻

Well yeah, if you have an EC135 as an option... you wouldn't want a Robinson. You can literally buy 10 R44s for the cost of an EC135. ($400K vs $4M)

This crash has nothing to do with rotor inertia or engine failure. It was completely pilot error and could also happen in an EC135.
