It sounded like engine failure to me, however if that was it, the
pilot should have been able to manage it better than that. Does that
heli have hydraulic controls? What happens to the hydraulic controls
if the engine fails? On a car, you still have steering, however, its
a lot harder to work whe the engine quits turning the hydraulic pump.
Is it the same way on a heli? If it is, then maybe the loss of
control was the pilot trying to force the controls.

Dennis.

In an engine failure woudnt the Jet Ranger yaw to the left? It looked
like a pretty abrupt uncommanded right yaw to me.
