DizzyD Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 I heard N7535G R44 suffered tail boom strike during a rumored hard landing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolftalonID Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Well if that is the case, that then becomes structural damage rendering it unairworthy. It wont be a rumor once classified as an accident and you wont have to guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyD Posted July 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 Is it unairworthy if let's say the tail requires a separate flight plan? LOL Most importantly, I was told there were no injuries! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Hunt Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 Are you talking about a stinger strike (relatively innocuous), or the blade flexing down to hit the boom (oh, dear...)? Totally different kettles of poisson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
