Rabies Posted August 22, 2020 Posted August 22, 2020 I had an interesting experience whilst flying the Mi8. While at altitude, 9000ft, I decided to kick the aircraft out of trim for a rapid decent into a LZ. I rolled the aircraft to the right and applied opposite rudder, your rate of decent goes off the scale. At some point I lost visual reference to the LZ so I reversed the control inputs, it was shortly after this that I noticed both engines had flamed out. I was too low to attempt a restart and autorotated into a hard landing. Has anyone experienced a similar scenario?
Quadg Posted August 22, 2020 Posted August 22, 2020 not had this, but sounds like negative g causing fuel starvation? did you try this in a straight in approach? or a fast spiral from above the LZ?
