on Helicopter crashNegativeSep 17, 2026· MK Confidential
Alan Mack assessed the helicopter as suffering engine failure with one landing opportunity after power loss.
“they had some type of engine failure. And, you know, it's a single engine aircraft. So you lose that, you have... Essentially, think of Sully on the Hudson, right? You've got one chance to land that thing if you can't restart the engine.”

on Helicopter height-velocity diagramNeutralSep 17, 2026· MK Confidential
Alan Mack said helicopter safety depends on height and airspeed falling within a survivable envelope.
“there's what we call the height-velocity diagram, otherwise known as the dead man's curve”

“they're probably between 500 and 800 feet, which is right at the edge of that aircraft's height-velocity diagram.”

on Helicopter engine failureNegativeSep 17, 2026· MK Confidential
Alan Mack said engine loss rapidly reduces rotor speed and leaves little response time.
“you lose the engine. It drags down very, very fast. And you don't have a lot of time.”

on Helicopter emergency landingNegativeSep 17, 2026· MK Confidential
Alan Mack said pilots need diagnostic time, which prevented reaching the nearby airfields.
“you have to have time to diagnose the problem. And once they did, nobody could make those airfields.”
