Greek Apache crash





Video of a Greek apahce crashing. Supposedly it has an engine failure but actually looks like pilot error. What do you guys think?

Not nearly so certain about pilot error. If we'd seen the preceding seconds it might have been clear, but given the angle and starting velocity it sank a lot faster than I would have expected, and the pitch-up generated less deceleration than I would have expected if rotors were at full RPM and torque.

Frankly, we have one patchy angle that missed the key leadup, and we're trying to judge an unusual flight regime by eye. I'll certainly be interested to hear what the inquiry says.

And Dwayne, look up SAR turns.

Surprised but pleased to hear that both pilot and gunner survived.
Upside down in water after crashing can't have been a pleasant experience.

Autorotate to the fields how? It had already committed to a seaward heading and was negative pitch at low altitude.
