Puff of smoke from #1 engine seconds before gaining altitude. There's a lot of arm chair pilots out there suggesting that the pilot lost an engine, pulled pitch to avoid high speed collision with the ground, and doubled back to water in anticipation of crash.
Everyone else seems to be convinced he was pulling a 1st CAV pitch roll and ran out of collective. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Puff of smoke from #1 engine seconds before gaining altitude.... That flash is the anti collision light, it's presumably mounted on the engine exhaust of the Greek apaches. The combination of strobe duration, shutter speed, and frame rate only catches some of the strobe flashes. Watch random aviation videos on YouTube and you'll often see erratic strobe flashes due to this. No military copter pilot in the world would fly like that with a face full of warning lights. Also that aircraft would easily have had enough single engine power to continue level flight. Lastly the cone angle on the rotor as he descends toward the water is way higher than you can get with single engine power at normal rotor speed. I hate to make assumptions, but all evidence in that video is that he was almost certainly attempting to show off. Does anybody know if the Greeks have GE or RR engines? |

CFII was vortex ring state involved in this accident, or was it just bad judgement? It appears that the aircraft was moving in clean air.

Speed less than 10 kts, power applied greater than 20% and rate of descent greater than 300 feet per minute. An absence of any of the three means no. Settling With Power or Vortex Ring State |
