From the NTSB final accident report: "Probable Cause: The pilot's inadequate pretakeoff checks which resulted in the magneto switch (key) remaining in the OFF position during the takeoff sequence and initial climb and the right magneto grounding intermittently." Pilot took off with the Mags in the OFF position. Engine continued to run because right magneto was not grounding properly. Well, it grounded properly a short time after liftoff. ;) Luckily pilot had significant forward airspeed despite being at a low altitude, facilitating the successful autorotation without injury to any on board. Had the helo been in a low airspeed/hover scenario at the altitude engine failure occurred (so-called deadman's curve), thing could've gotten ugly in a hurry. Pilot should've detected mag grounding problem during engine runup (which he did NOT perform). Becoming airborne with the ignition in the OFF position saved the lives of several hogs though I guess?

Have a read of NTSB accident report CEN21LA109. PS, it's been pretty funning listening to all the so called experts under this video and other videos of this incident, who claim x thousands of hours as pilots, flight mechanics, military, etc, with me knowing all the while that they were 100% wrong and yet they were 100% sure of themselves. The NTSB in their report confirmed what I had been saying, all along going back those two years since it happened. "I'm a military pilot with x,xxx hours in this, that and the other"... "I'm a flight mechanic of XX years"... "I've been doing this since before you were a twinkle in your daddy's eye!", "Go back to your flight sims kid"... etc etc and they were all WRONG! LOL The mag switch was set to OFF, so says the NTSB. There was an intermittent ground connection on one of the p-leads, so says the NTSB. Exactly what I said from day one. _"The_ _National_ _Transportation_ _Safety_ _Board_ _determines_ _the_ _probable_ _cause(s)_ _of_ _this_ _accident_ _to_ _be:_ _The_ _pilot’s_ _inadequate_ _pretakeoff_ _checks_ _which_ _resulted_ _in_ _the_ _magneto_ _switch_ _(key)_ _remaining_ _in_ _the_ _OFF_ _position_ _during_ _the_ _takeoff_ _sequence_ _and_ _initial_ _climb_ _and_ _the_ _right_ _magneto_ _grounding_ _intermittently."_

@@siennavanlife9502I must have watched this video 1000 times now. I can't count how many times I've watched this and just thought "wow WTF." So many things wrong with not making sure both magnetos are switched to "both" before taking off. You know read the high velocity diagram remember after taking off not to fly so low over trees. Real good hover to transverse flow to ETL take off profile. But you know probably wouldn't have thought the one Magneto he switched to was going to fail on him. Got the collective down, held it down, maintained a decent AirSpeed and RPMs and before he hit that tree and chopped the tail he looked like he had a good flare going. And it was a very nice landing no one was hurt not even a scratch it seems. Robinson does very well with those spring and yield skids. Could have been much worst. This is definitely the key to not being obsessed with radio calls and navigating before you go flying make sure you aviate, navigate, communicate. He didn't get mad and didn't Panic that's for sure and made a good Landing it was a good Auto. Pretty good flying. Just don't forget how important your startup checks are make sure to check both magnetos. I also sort of doubt he looked at the needles for much of a drop on the one Magneto he did test that he left on the on position he probably would have seen something was wrong. But yeah this is what muscle memory is All About damn good Landing. Maybe he could have brought the RPMs down to 90% And attempted a Max Glide might have gone over the tree. But obviously if you're starting the auto at 300 ft you don't have time for that. He had to 90° it as well so with the decision-making process he had to make the turn and did not necessarily even have much of a time to look for the landing spot and was trying to maintain the airspeed and RPMs at the same time. Anyone who has attempted 180°s knows that you have just seconds to make those decisions. You know just make sure like any pilot that looks for power lines that your flying high above them and you generally Fly Above the tree directly over it which might seem to backwards to someone that's not a pilot but for a pilot you understand that it's easier than to turn away from the tree if you lose the engine just like you practice when flying cross countries we're doing autos at the field and avoiding obstacles it's easier to turn away from the tree if you're directly over it then being near it and not flying directly over it and then having to turn and make the bad decision of actually going towards it because you have to make a split decision in seconds. And it's always 500 ft above obstacles 500 ft you're only 300 ft if you're above the grass which he started out with a good hover at the translation of lift to transverse flow to ETL profile but obviously didn't do the PreFlight correctly didn't fly over the trees correctly but did a damn good auto. And with Robinson like Bell and all other companies whoever they get the skids from those are manufactured spring and yield so even a hard Landing like that chopping off the tail which could potentially turn into full LTE if they didn't land so fast or forget LTE if they would have just been straight nose down like a pushover but he had a good glad profile a good level attitude the spring and yield came in handy and no one was hurt. Edit: was even talking to someone a few months ago about this video. They were like "how was that a good flare? They hit the tree." I said "no way if it wasn't a good Flair then instead of the tail hitting the tree they would have hit the tree. He had that flare coming up just correctly right about the height of that tree in about 40 ft begin cyclic flaire. Also the tail was chopped and he had just the right amount of speed directions and RPMs to have enough momentum that the helicopter continued a little to the ground without LTE without the tail or screw LTE there's no vertical stabilizer anymore so without a full straight nose down Landing. This is what auto rotation practice is for. Its why radio calls are third. Navigation is second. Aviate is first it's aviate navigate communicate. You know as I said before just taking a little more time to check those magnetos and make sure the needles don't drop too high of a percentage it's one of the most important things on that checklist. That's all. But the auto was muscle memory that's for sure

If i remember the accident report for this correctly, the pilot actually took off with the key in the "OFF" position. During post accident inspections a mechanic was able to recreate the engine running with key turned off and after disconnecting and reconnecting the magnetos the engine no longer would run with the key in the off position. That said, despite the big oopsie of leaving the key off, any landing you walk away from is a good one.

Here's the conclusion to the NTSB report of this crash. Pilot error during preflight. The pilot reported that it was the second flight of the day. After an uneventful first flight, the helicopter returned to the airport to refuel and pick up new passengers. The purpose of the flight was to hunt game. As the passengers were getting into the helicopter, a rifle was dropped on the dash of the helicopter which turned the alt switch, master switch, and clutch switch to off. The pilot immediately turned the switches back on and conducted a hover power and final systems check. The helicopter then took off uneventfully. About 120 ft above the ground, the engine sputtered once then lost complete power. The pilot performed a left turning autorotation to a field. During the descent, the pilot increased the throttle, but the engine did not respond. The helicopter impacted trees before it landed hard on a small mound of dirt and came to rest nose low. During the impact sequence, the main rotor blade contacted and severed the tail boom. The pilot never reported that he conducted the '˜starting engine and run up' checklist before taking off. This was confirmed by an onboard video. The video also showed the ignition switch in OFF throughout the flight, the impact, and following the accident sequence. During a postaccident engine run, the engine started uneventfully, and a magneto check was completed. When the ignition switch was in the right magneto position the engine rpm stayed the same instead of decreasing, indicating the magneto was not properly grounding. In addition, the engine continued to run despite the ignition switch being in the off position, indicating the engine was operating on one magneto. The ignition switch key was jiggled, manipulated, and even removed from the ignition switch, but the engine continued to run. The engine was shut down and electrical continuity was established from the ignition switch to the magnetos. The magneto grounding wires were examined and appeared to be properly secured. The wiring was tested with a volt/ohm meter and functioned normally. The grounding wires were reinstalled, and the engine was restarted. It operated normally and several magneto checks were normal. The magnetos were removed for a functional bench test and disassembly; no anomalies were noted with either magneto. The ignition switch was also removed, disassembled, and examined. No anomalies were found. Even though functional and disassembly tests did not indicate a problem with the magnetos themselves, the right magneto did not ground appropriately during the initial engine run. The anomaly was unable to be recreated after the magneto grounding wires were removed and reinstalled. Because the pilot did not perform all the required pretakeoff checks to ensure all the switches were in the correct positions prior to takeoff, the helicopter took off with the ignition switch in the OFF position. An undefined issue with the grounding wire caused the right magneto to not ground and allowed the helicopter to operate with the ignition in the 'off' position. The magneto likely grounded during the initial climb, and since the ignition switch was in the OFF position, the engine shut down. Probable Cause: The pilot's inadequate pretakeoff checks which resulted in the magneto switch (key) remaining in the OFF position during the takeoff sequence and initial climb and the right magneto grounding intermittently.

My assumption is a bad P-lead on the mags. NTSB report says this was the 3rd flight of the day so engine was most likely already warm and didn’t require a prime to start back up before this accident. The pilot failed to do a mag check after start up which resulted in the mag switch being set to off position instead of both. With a faulty P-lead the engine with still spark. I guess that with the vibration of the engine caused the lead to get a proper connection and cause the engine to quit since the key was in the off position. One thing that could’ve been done to prevent this is if the pilot followed his checklist after starting and before taking off (at least checking all components that are required to be on before take off. Make sure mixture is fully in, Mags are set to both, Engine and rotor RPM needles are matched, etc) Good landing though. Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing. One thing that could’ve been improved is once the engine failed he dropped the collective which is what you want to do in this situation but he pitched forward to try and gain airspeed which made him loose his rotor RPM which is why the Low Rotor horn was buzzing the entire way down. Great job turning left and away from the wires, they are a death sentence. Overall 9/10 on the landing (only one thing could’ve been fixed but at least everyone made it out) 0/10 on the post-startup/pre-takeoff checks, this entire thing could’ve been prevented if that key was caught before takeoff. At that point if they key was in the off position and I was the PIC and seen that with the engine still running that would be pull the mixture and have maintenance come take a look at it and determine and fix what is wrong because the engine shouldn’t be able to run at all with the key set to off or even start in the first place.

Everybody that said he didn’t had enough speed and didn’t flare are just clueless about the situation. He had enough speed and could’ve flare but was going directly to the highway and those electrical wires that you KZfaq specialist didn’t see. He gave up speed to avoid the highway and electrical wires by making that left hand turn. Even if the engine malfunction was caused by the pilot’s mistake, the rest was handled perfectly. Unfortunate mistake, but overall with the given flight parameters, his autorotation skills were perfect. If he didn’t had to dodge that highway, no doubts he would’ve landed 10/10.

Looked like a good recovery to me. I went down in a UH-1 into the Mekong River. I was the back seat commander of the ground troops for an operation. When all of the red lights came on, instead of just one, I knew it was terminal. And I shut down all talk in the back, knowing he did not need anything on the intercom. We were about 2000ft. to stay above small-arms fire, so I knew he had some leeway. He immediately turned into the wind and auto rotated into the Mekong, just about ten feet from the shore. Perfect spot. We waded out. The crew chief opened the cowl, where the shaft goes to the rear propeller, and the shaft fell off in his hand. He got down and puked. We were that close to a catastrophic failure. The only thing these Texas guys did not do was put out a defensive perimeter in case of being attacked by the Viet Cong - I mean boars. You know.

As long as your climbout is smooth to 500' AGL and you arrive at 60kt at the same time, you should be well positioned for an engine failure. Looks like this take off was low and fast, and you see the result. Still, given the position he was in, he did a great job trying to save it. Often though, prevention is better than the cure. 500', 60kts. Stay above those 2 numbers and you should be well positioned for an engine out landing.

@maximusjoseppi59043 жыл бұрын
the engine failed, this would be a lycoming or maintenance or preflight issue, not a robinson issue. In fact, the helicopter held up fantastically well given how bad the pilot's autorotation was.
@maximusjoseppi59043 жыл бұрын
@@dylanpowell2307 haha clearly, you aren't a pilot either. Robinson helicopters have an outstanding safety record when flown in accordance with their design parameters and with proper knowledge of their limitations. Part 135 operations do have more substantial maintenance requirements but mechanical failure isn't the main cause for crashes in any helicopter, including robinsons. You see more robinsons crash because there are about 10x more of them in use than any other aircraft, they're used in almost all training operations, and they're cheap so private owners fly them mostly which lends to pilot errors and simply more flight hours being the cause of a higher incident ratio. That being said, after watching this video closely, this was pilot error. The key is in the "L" position at 1oclock when it should be in "both" position at 5oclock. This has to do with the magnetos which give power to the spark plugs which makes them run. The pilot was essentially running only half the spark plugs, something that should only occur during a failure and only to land right away. This was pilot error and not the aircraft in any way. 👍🏻 Signed, someone that knows way more than you.

@@tristancervantes1855 lol im saying dumb shit. Im a volunteer firefighter and have pulled guns out of multiple houses that have burnt down or are burning down. Most the time the bolt is welded in place from the heat and anything not steel has melted or burned away. But lets say this gun survived, if you are dumb enough to use a firearm after its been in extreme heat like a house fire you deserve a Darwin. Heat stretches and substantially weakens steel, at that point you are far more likely to have the gun randomly explode when firing. If you need to see what happens when a gun explodes while firing watch Kentucky ballistics on youtube. Guns have had negligent discharges from falling but its incredibly rare, and when that happens its going to be right when it hits the ground because an internal component has to break, its not going to happen after its on the ground. It would then be the same odds of it having a negligent discharge as if it never fell. Ive dropped guns from treestands higher than what the helicopter was flying and never had one discharge.

@chad17553 жыл бұрын
Pilot did a fantastic job: He quickly assessed that he couldn't clear the road (powerlines are a death sentence), so he made the turn, and I think he briefly considered going for the more open clearing further to the left but he didn't have the altitude for that either, so he picked the best spot he couldn't and flew it in with what little autorotation momentum he had left. Excellent airmanship.

@Tom Gulbranson not true. I’ve had a r44 on two different occasions not turn off when I turned the key to the off poss. Because the mags were faulty and did not ground. If you know a R44 you can see the that key is not in the “both” position. You can also see when the pilot realizes it. Watch it again. After the auto when he reaches to turn the key to “off” he kinda drops his head an chuckles. That when he knew he fucked up.and the never turns the key because it’s off already
