I've encountered a recent issues with the flight model yesterday.

We were doing some Helo training in Beslan and all of our KA-50 were experiencing rotor strikes well within the flight envelope.

I would fall out of the sky when turning only slightly left when flying 250 km/h at 500 meters. At the current air temp (10°C) I should have been able to maneuver up to 300 km/h (at least according to the plaque on the left side of the cockpit).

Your track doesn't contain any replay information, so there is nothing to look at.

 

In case you don't know: the number on the HUD is NOT indicated airspeed.

IAS is shown on the HUD as a scale and it comes with a small 'max speed' indicator. Easiest tool to avoid overspeed.

 

The max speed does NOT account for maneuvering. It only warns you about a rotor clash in forward flight. Don't try to maneuver while the alarm is going off. Increase in collective and/or kicking the rudder the wrong way will most likely result in a crash (unless you know exactly how to handle the aircraft).
