Normally I never post military accidents because the machines are different, reasons are different, and the machines are in high risk operations.

 

This report is an exception because it stresses hor important enough reserve power is so darn important for military operations and not potential fuel savings... You know 3 versus 2 engines only, enough RESERVE power, DERATED rather then OVERRATED turbines  and stuff...

 

Officials release Pave Low accident report

 

Helicopter crash in Afghanistan blamed on engine failure

 

A question for those in active duty somewhere:

  • As anyone heard of a similar PUMA accident for example ??
  • If the MH-53J/M PAVE LOW did have 3 engineswould it have gone down with the compressor stall on one engine??
