Re: Helicopter accident near Calgary sends 2 to hospital
A poor execution of an auto?
Any Huey guys care to comment: do you do full down auto's or terminate to a hover?
Our Blackhawks terminate to a hover. Too much risk banging the rear stabilator. OH58 is full down.
As for the Blackhawk, the rotors can easy spin up past power off rotor limits, and we often have to pull collective to slow the rotors during the descent. I'm wondering if the Heuy is the same with the semi-rigid rotor.

Pretty gutsy of the President to go on the news right away like that. Well-spoken.

For the home owner who lives nearby and is concerned, easy solution for you. MOVE !!
I fly out of YBW and it amazes me that people continue to complain about the air traffic. Why did you build & buy near the airport ?? It has been existent long before your house was.
Sorry to go off topic and great to hear both pilot's are okay.
