I am not always happy when Nigerians always contribute to what they don't have knowledge about and it's very sad
please what do you guys take the pilots as , a bus driver of what,what if you guys witness a cross wind landing or take off what are you going to say about that.
This Helicopter is Bell UH-1H Iroquois ("Huey")
You will all noticed that when it was landing something hit the ground that's the Tail Skid and it's designed for such purposes
Purpose of the tail skid:
1. Protects the tail boom
2. Prevents the tail boom from striking the ground during takeoff, landing, or hover:
Without it, a tail strike could severely damage the helicopter's structure.
3. Protects the tail rotor
The tail rotor is one of the most vulnerable parts of a helicopter.
By keeping the tail at a safe height, the tail skid helps prevent the tail rotor blades from contacting the ground or obstacles.
4. Absorbs impact loads
If the pilot lands with the tail too low, the skid contacts the ground first and absorbs much of the impact, reducing stress on the tail boom.
4. Provides a warning to the pilot
Contact between the tail skid and the ground alerts the pilot that the tail attitude is becoming too low, allowing corrective action before more serious damage occurs.
This is how it works:
During a steep takeoff or landing, if the helicopter rotates nose-up excessively, the tail skid touches the ground before the tail boom or tail rotor does.
You guys should not be saying things out of ignorance, those pilots are trained and professionals, every aircraft have its own working principle and those that design aircraft had make it in such a way that there are failed safe systems and safelife system on the aircraft
Reading people comments indeed there is a pandemic of Olodo uprising in Nigeria.
This is sad
Una really foolish on this twitter ngl
They should land “carefully” meters away from terrorists? People wey get rpg? 😭
Nah cutlass terrorists dey throw?
It’s a rescue mission bruh, if they aren’t rescuing they will just shoot from a distance.
@jayhemz@MrSam_Tee@Mozzay_Trey Leave him
He wants them to hover around and land “perfectly” meters away from terrorists so they can shoot rpg at the heli?
These guys are not even thinking deep at all
@MrSam_Tee@jayhemz@Mozzay_Trey They are simulating a rescue operation
I’m sure they have the time to hover and land perfectly 😂
Don’t worry, worse happens than that all across the world, it’s hidden behind classified information.
The day I bought this p last year
I just dey vex fr

If you can’t keep up with the exact reality of the country because “people around you are shielding you from the truth” make all of una gather comot then abeg
Iyinoluwa Aboyeji, co-founder of Flutterwave, reveals that the President of Nigeria doesn't know what is going on in the country.
He says President's reality is constructed.
He's in a motorcade driving so fast, so he can't see the surrounding, his phone is with an aide, and he doesn't read newspapers.
He has security briefings and that's all he knows.
