@ LW

From numerous observations made I noticed two things that made the helo crash, and various types of auxiliary triggers were made to catch the helo at those times to try and avoid disaster.

The 1st observation made was when at dipping alt, the helo approached a high speed stall by going from 0 kts to 130 kts as the helo tries to climb from dipping alt, he loses control and crashes in the water.

The 2nd observation made was when the helo is on a fixed course and does an immediate course change and tries do achieve dipping alt. I’ve done this before in manual flight when I attempt to do a ‘break turn’ to offset vector speed in one direction, effectively reducing my speed 0 kts, but if done incorrectly, that will also put the helo into a stall with no sense of ownship control and literally throw the helo into the drink.

I can also give you all of the trigger parameters I’ve used in the workaround but I’ll have to look them up.


Hope this helps.
