This helicopter ditched into the rough sea after suddenly loosing engine power, and instead of evacuating, the pilot decided to power out of the water causing the helicopter to flip over

Absolutely wild footage, this is a real world engine failure in a MD500 (Think Magnum P.I. helicopter) over Kauai, Hawaii out on a tour flight. You’ll probably have to watch this a few times but the video starts out with the helicopter under power and then the engine sound goes silent. The beeping you hear is the engine-out audio beep to inform the pilot that engine power has been lost. This maneuver that pilot is doing is called a Autorotation and the way to think about helicopter flight, the engine is turning this big fan (rotor blades) on top of the body and sucking in air from the top and projecting it downward to overcome the force of gravity. When engine power is lost, you experience a reverse in airflow because now gravity takes over and the air flow is coming from the bottom of the main rotor disk. The only thing the pilot can really do is to make sure the rotors keep spinning by changing the pitch of the rotor blades through the use of the “collective” which is a lever next to the pilot’s left leg and it only moves up and down. The pilot has to manipulate the collective during an auto rotation to make sure the blades keep spinning. If the pilot pulls up too much on the collective, the rotor blades will bite too much of air causing a resistance and slow the rotors down. If the pilot doesn’t pull enough collective.. the blades will speed up and potentially cause a catastrophic failure. The other control the pilot has is called the cyclic. This cyclic sits between the pilots legs and and manipulates individual pitch of the rotor blades to tilt the rotor disk aka “big fan” and make the helicopter go forward, backwards, left, right. So essentially in this type of emergency, you have to manipulate the controls in a delicate balance because no matter what, gravity is taking you to the ground because the engine is no longer producing power. The pilot did an outstanding job here given the geography and limited amount of flat terrain to put the helicopter on the ground. Thankfully it sounds like no souls were lost and only one injury according to a news report (see the link below)👇 Of course there is a lot more to helicopter aerodynamics but I’m trying my best to put this in simpler to digest terms. Big thanks to Combat Learjet for sharing and definitely worth a follow!

BREAKING: The Bell 206 helicopter that crashed into the Hudson River, k-lling pilot Sean Johnson and a Spanish family of five visiting Manhattan, ran out of fuel less than 15 minutes after takeoff, sources told Fox News. “The helicopter ran out of fuel less than 15 minutes into the flight.” Johnson reportedly radioed about needing to refuel minutes before the helicopter crashed into Hudson River, according to New York Helicopter Tour CEO Michael Roth, whose company operated the helicopter. "[The pilot] called in that he was landing and that he needed fuel, and it should have taken him about three minutes to arrive, but 20 minutes later, he didn’t arrive," Roth told The Telegraph.

Extraordinary footage captures the moment a helicopter experiences an engine failure and crashes onto a sandy beach along Kauai's iconic Nāpali Coast. 🤯🤯🤯 At the 9-second mark, the engine abruptly shuts off, and the audible beeping serves as a warning of the engine's power loss. With remarkable skill, the pilot guides the helicopter towards the beach, executes a crash landing on the sand, and miraculously saves the lives of all four passengers. From engine failure to crash landing, the entire sequence unfolds in under 30 seconds.

Russians continue their meltdown over the footage of a Su-25 that crashed into the sea yesterday. Apparently, the pilot died after drowning - he was in the water for 8 minutes, and no one on the beach bothered trying to help him, instead preferring to swim and drink beer.

Trees. Canyons. Power lines. Glad this little beast of a helicopter can make it to the areas unreachable by larger aircraft.

🇬🇷‼️🚨 FIREFIGHTER HELICOPTER CRASH One helicopter flew into the water tank of the other and destroyed its rotor, crashing straight down. No chance. The other flew on; only the water was released. Sad, especially during the fires when the boys are needed to stop the fire.
