From what little can be seen in the video looks like a tail rotor failure. Not enough altitude to auto rotate in. Very sad. Helicopters are inherently unstable machines. Even with best of maintenance they fail quite often.

Agree with you, from the footage it seems to be spiraling which indicates a tail rotor failure... auto rotate recovery from that altitude in a spiraling motion is almost impossible, history shows when a helicopter goes wrong it goes really downhill quickly, very few recovery options with loss of main rotor power or tail rotor !

    At least out there in the UK it won't get "case closed" as a suicide.    

  • Unlikely to be pilot error, unless Mr Viscai was having a go at piloting. For the machine to go so seriously out of control points towards mechanical failure and this can only point towards maintenanc

Video not clear was in a spin... the experts will figure it out post it

RIP and I agree with the Tail rotor failure posts. But the investigation will tell all.

You said ausjet never had any problems or accidents after blaming thai mechanics for the failure without any proof and I showed you one example of one of their helicopters going down because of engine failure.  <removed>

Never blamed any mechanic..l blame the lack of service which is highly likely. <removed>

Lack of service ??? you dont make any sense at all. again you really need to get some professional help. Or at least learn to have a decent debate about something which you know nothing about except to blame others.

Only witnessed Military, but they just changed the whole Gearbox quit often [emoji576]

I am sure the British Air Accident Investigation team will do a thorough and detailed job to establish the cause of the accident. Maybe in time we will be able to watch the outcome on Nat Geo's Air Crash Investigation on TV. RIP to all victims.
