Video Of Border Patrol MD600 Helicopter Auto-Hard Landing.
Friday, October 30, 2009 at 07:17AM On Oct. 15th I posted an article about a hard landing suffered by a Border Patrol MD600 Helicopter during a simulated auto-rotation. At the time the helicopter was being operated by a factory CFI with a senior BP pilot also in the cockpit. The training was being video taped by other BP pilots on the ground, because of their concern that the MD600 exhibits less than adequate auto-rotational capabilities.
PHP.com has obtained a copy of the video.
Also, as I stated in the original post, I have personally received emergency procedures training from the same CFI on several occassions and can attest to his professionalism, outstanding skill level, and expert knowledge of all things helicopters. You be the judge.
