I think it is an HP.

no the blades need to spin,,, or you drop like a stone,, usually these incidents are non survivable,, you drop the nose and hope the airspeed slows the rotation i guess and try and flair before impact but in their situation just avoiding killing anyone else is about all you could do

Thank you for your reply. It is clearly stated that I am not certified at anything, meaning: not a real pilot. However I have put a lot of effort and time, during the recent years, to increase my knowledge regarding these magnificient machines. This quest is ongoing, therefore every constructive bit of information is welcomed and appreciated on this channel. Your comment made me do some additional testing in a simulator with following results. The height from where I was able to transition to autorotation with a significant forward speed (50-60kts) was 350-400ft AGL and above, provided the action was started immediately during the onset of yaw motion, meaning I anticipated failure, while IRL they would be needing extra seconds for analysis and end up spinning substantially even before taking any action. To conclude. Failure height in this video was set to 250-300ft AGL, which is below the height where It was (in a virtual enviroment) still possible to trade height for some airspeed. However I have later found out that the unfortunate G-VSKP was actually higher, at the 430ft RALT, and that might open at least theoretical possibilities, while the grim outcome is already known.

I prefer to use 3-axis mode only, but there is a COLL button (between AP2 and CPL) you can also press and disconnects collective. You must then move collective axis to synchronize and this is where things can get really messy. I think “force reverse collective” option reduces chances of over torquing a bit. Also switching AP to standby mode (SBY) does the same, methinks, you still gotta sync, though.

@@helichannel8475 I have tried pressing the COLL button but this does not give me back control of the collective. Turning AP off does not also work. I’m using a Logitech 3D pro joystick. Once autopilot takes control of the collective I have no way getting it back. Shame! It’s a nice helicopter but unusable if I can’t land it.

​@@nickmaguire5104 Pressing the button is not enough. You have to move your collective slowly across the range to synchronize.

World's highest helipad is in Himalayas built by India Siachen glacier 21000 feet or 6400 metres

Agree, stopped watching as I was reading the text and missing what buttons were being turned on/off. Oh well.

There are levers (DOORS/CARGO) on the middle console, to the right of your seat. You can also assign joystick axes to "thrust vector" for doors and "flaps" for cargo ramp.

That was nice

Well looks nice

The video looks nice tool

@@helichannel8475 linked your great video to helisimmer.com's facebook page, absolutely stunning video work!

Thank you for your support.

@@helichannel8475 honestly, you have some cool stuff, you should revive your channel man! there is much heli-stuff going on right now.

LOL

Definitely better “hands and feet” on the 212 Pilot.

Im pretty sure if you dump fuel at that low of an altitude, it doesn’t disintegrate like it does at high altitudes so its a major risk to the city’s infrastructure

@@audify3833 you worried about infrastructure over human life?

@@dragonredsinbad4631 fuel dumping systems aren’t fitted to helicopters for the same reason that a lot of newer aircraft lack the capability, and it has nothing to do with the environment Even if the helicopter did have the capability, I don’t think dumping fuel would have changed the outcome, as the fuel would not be able to drain fast enough
