R-22 Training Crash

[Ryan]

An R-22 was involved in a crash resulting from dynamic roll-over today. It was at YYJ and both student an instructor are okay, if a little sore. Instructor suffered a broken collar bone and the student received a few scrapes and bruises.

 

Knowing both the instructor and the student, I'm glad you are both alright! The machine is toast, but there are many more where it came from. Gonna miss that little ship. But glad I ain't gonna be missing you two fellas! Beer is on me when we see each other again.

 

Guess it is true. Any landing you wallk away from is a good one! Gonna go try to untie the knot in my stomach now.

So they say, that is until you've got a hundred miles of bush to walk out of.

 

 

:shock: an instuctor and a student? - Never should have happened -most likely a little bit of care would have kept it upright.

That's a pretty low thing to say. Unless you were there or know the circumstances then keep crap like that to yourself. Must be nice to have such a high chair to sit upon and judge the mortals eh?

Hey Ryan,

 

Glad to hear everyone is ok.

 

Is that the same R22 you trained on?

:shock:

Well I never left one up there yet! You must have a very large helmet.

[Kyle]

Easy guys.

[Ryan]

Yeah I do have a big head and an even bigger helmet.

Perhaps we can learn from this accident and not simply point and sneer? We all have our slices of humble pie my friend.

 

And yes, that was my poor little Robbie.

 

[407 Driver]

be careful Raqattack, we may be talking about you one day. I truly hope not, but if we do, I hope people here have something positive to say.

 

Ryan, I know how you feel with that knot in your stomach. I've felt it a few too many times myself.

[Kyle]

Please, easy on the verbage or I will remove this thread. Sorry, no reason for talk like this yet - could have turned out a lot worse.

[Figure 8]

Hey Ryan,

 

Sorry to hear about your 22 but glad to hear that everyone is okay. I was wondering if you could PM me and let me know which helicopter it is as I too did a little flying in 22s on the coast and I was wondering if it was my baby.

 

Thanks in advance!!
