Mi-17 helicopter forced landing on Turkish beach caught on video

The Mi-17 helicopter, which is part of the Azerbaijani Air Force, made an emergency landing on May 21. A rotorcraft flying as part of a military exercise landed on a beach in the coastal region of the Turkish city of Giresun.

The incident was caught on an amateur video. As reported by Azeridefence, there were six servicemen on board, none of them was injured, repair work is currently underway:

According to preliminary information, the helicopter made an emergency landing due to a technical malfunction of the engine.

A day earlier, a Spanish army rotorcraft Eurocopter Tiger made an emergency landing after colliding with a power line. She was taking part in the military exercise Adriatic Strike 2021 in Slovenia when the incident happened. The helicopter landed in a meadow near the Reichenburg castle in Brestovice. No harm done. In some cities, the electricity was cut for a short time.

There was a collision with a power line, despite strong vibration, the pilot successfully made an emergency landing. Both the pilot and the co-pilot were not injured, but material damage was caused

- explained the Slovenian military.

The crew was most likely rescued by "scissors" - the helicopter is equipped with special equipment, which, in the event of a collision, cuts the dangerous wire, but the fuselage can be seriously damaged

- noted in the Fighter Jets World edition.

As taught, and sat down ... well done pilot.

well, the technique itself is reliable and proven over the years of service)

That's for sure !!!! Simplicity, reliability and controllability in emergency situations ..
It's always been a Russian thing.

Very risky .. The pilot will have to scrub the floors in the guardhouse.

The Mi-17 (export version of the Mi-8) is a twin-engine vehicle.

And he sat down without even autorotting.
In the CR (emergency mode - the power of the CR for TV3-117V is 2200 hp) the remaining engine after failure - and landing. Not more than 5 minutes usually in this mode, but enough ... If more (which is possible) - then the engine overhaul.

If he flew along the sea at the moment of failure, then everything is relatively safe and predictable. There are many places on the beaches in Turkey. But if it's far from the coast, then you would have to get nervous ...

[Cananecat]

As far as I understood, he sat down on the plane.

- landed on the beach in the coastal region of the Turkish city of Giresun.
At least the stress will be relieved.

Conversation between two pilots:
-Look, buddy, what girls are in bikinis ..
- Put it straight on the beach, let's say a technical malfunction.
Hey girls, we come to you

If the vision does not fail, then one blade is missing (in the direction of the operator). What can we say about reliability even in such conditions. The vibration was probably eerie.

Leads. The Mi-17 helicopter has 5 blades, and all of them are visible.

[A009]

Not a specialist. So I was wrong

[Yujanin]

All blades are in place. After field repairs, the helicopter continued its flight.

[Puppeteer 111]

Hey connoisseurs. Nobody was confused by the word "incoming"?)))

[Albay]

The commentator on the video speaks of a malfunction of the motor. Azerbaijan's Ministry of Defense generally stated that it was minor malfunction.

[Nyrobsky]

The main thing is that everyone is alive and the car is safe.
Something went awry.
Over the past week, it seems like five incidents with aircraft, in which three pilots were killed (2 Belarusians and 1 Indian).

[not main]

Yes, "regular" landing "on the site"!

[Yujanin]

Interestingly, combat helicopters in service with the Russian Air Force are also equipped with President-S airborne defense systems?

[Synoid]

The pilots are good fellows, in both cases they were not taken aback and landed faulty cars.

[petrol cutter]

You will bring me to a heart attack.
I really thought our ...
