00:00 "If the body parts of the aircraft are scattered far and wide, that means it exploded in the
00:05 air.
00:06 Someone must have planted a bomb inside, or someone must have dropped a rocket, or someone
00:09 must have attacked the drone."
00:10 "We have with us Wing Commander-in-Chief, Captain Asim Nawaz, an aviation expert.
00:16 Assalam-o-Alaikum, Mr. Asim.
00:17 This news must have reached you as well.
00:20 It is a very sad situation.
00:23 Mr. Asim, please tell us, this helicopter, which is called Bell 212, twin engine and twin
00:30 blade helicopter, what kind of a helicopter is it and how does it operate?
00:36 We would also like to know from you, when the weather gets bad, how does it operate?
00:42 And what is this hard landing?
00:45 "This twin engine helicopter is called Bell.
00:53 It is the safest helicopter in the world.
00:58 It doesn't get damaged that easily.
01:01 If one engine gets damaged, the other one can still operate.
01:04 There is no problem.
01:05 And if there is a problem, the helicopter can land anywhere, even in the mountains.
01:08 If it finds a small space, it can land there.
01:11 Even if both engines get shut down, it can land in an autorotation and change the angle
01:18 of the wings and land comfortably.
01:21 So, it is very difficult to crash it.
01:24 There are very few cases in the world where a Bell helicopter has crashed like this.
01:29 So, this possibility that the problem is with the plane, I don't believe it.
01:35 I think it has been crashed.
01:38 And I can tell you as an expert, as a specialist in regional affairs,
01:45 What is the situation of the hard landing?
01:50 "The hard landing is called autorotation.
01:53 If the helicopter's engine shuts down, when it comes to the ground,
01:58 the air pressure is going upwards, opposite to it.
02:02 So, it rotates the fan, the RPM of the fan increases,
02:08 it has a pitch, the angle is less and the angle is more.
02:11 When the angle is less, it comes down from the speed.
02:13 As soon as it comes 15-20 feet up or 30-40 feet,
02:16 the pilot changes its pitch.
02:21 It roughens it, it gets thrust in that rough pitch,
02:26 the plane sits comfortably on the ground.
02:29 It keeps falling.
02:30 This is called autorotation.
02:32 Use of autorotation to land the helicopter without engine.
02:35 This is the problem.
02:36 So, during this time, is there enough time to maintain contact back to the country
02:41 through the radar?
02:45 No, the radar is looking at the helicopter,
02:48 but the pilot, because he is busy in autorotating the helicopter,
02:54 he gets himself busy in autorotation,
02:56 so he doesn't have time to call the air traffic controller and tell him what happened.
03:01 If he didn't tell the air traffic controller,
03:03 he didn't tell anything about autorotation,
03:06 he could have told,
03:07 that means the helicopter didn't fall by itself.
03:11 This seems like an international conspiracy or a real threat.
03:17 You know, the Muslims who try to establish themselves by contacting other Muslim countries,
03:23 that's what they get harassed by.
03:24 Q. Asim, like in jets, or in Boeing, or in other aircrafts,
03:28 there is a black box, is there something like this in a helicopter?
03:32 Yes, there is a black box in this helicopter.
03:36 Q. And tell me, there were many reports that distress signals are sent
03:41 if there is a situation of chaos.
03:44 How is this operation done?
03:48 The chaos landing of a helicopter is the easiest,
03:53 because it doesn't need a runway.
03:55 If there is a problem in the helicopter,
03:58 they will immediately land it in autorotation.
04:03 This is the chaos landing.
04:05 Q. Asim, we would like to show the picture that we have got from Malbay,
04:14 which is being reported on international media and Pakistani media,
04:18 in which it can be seen that only the tail of the helicopter is visible.
04:22 What can be guessed from this, that after a hard landing,
04:26 such a situation arises, or after an accident,
04:30 or as you are saying, that it has been tried to crash,
04:34 after that such a situation arises?
04:36 If there is a hard landing, then its tail is a little bit in the air,
04:40 in a few decades, within 20-30-40 days.
04:43 If the body parts of the helicopter are scattered far and wide,
04:48 that means it has been blown up in the air.
04:50 Someone has bombed it, or someone has shot a rocket,
04:53 or someone has attacked it with a drone,
04:55 or any aerial attack,
04:58 when its parts are scattered far and wide,
05:02 it has not fallen, it has been blown up in the air.
05:06 Q. Asim, we are also seeing this in this.
05:09 Obviously, the investigation will start now,
05:11 and then there will be some things.
05:13 It was a convoy, not a single helicopter.
05:16 There were three helicopters,
05:18 one of which has been damaged.
05:20 How much can the weather be affected by this?
05:24 And if the weather is affected,
05:26 then if these three helicopters fly together,
05:29 how much distance is there,
05:31 and how far do they fly?
05:33 How can two fly away,
05:35 and one is affected by the weather?
05:38 No, no, it is not like that.
05:41 It is exactly the same case as our
05:43 Lt. Gen. Sarfaz Hussain,
05:45 who was coming from Quetta, Karachi.
05:47 Two helicopters were also coming.
05:49 One went safely, and the other crashed there,
05:51 where its parts were scattered far and wide.
05:53 The way it was dropped,
05:55 Q. Asim, we would also like to know this from you.
05:57 Thank you very much,
05:59 Captain-in-Chief Asim Marsad,
06:01 the aviation expert present with us.
06:03 According to him,
06:05 the weather is not affected by this.
06:07 We will see what else is there.
06:11 But the footage that is being shown to us,
06:14 its tail is intact,
06:17 and the rest of the helicopters are…
06:20 He also said that
06:22 this is one of the safest helicopters in the world.
06:25 Because it is not only used for war,
06:28 but it is also used for civil purposes.
06:31 It is used for rescue and other purposes.
06:36 So, this is another worrying thing.
06:39 And it was not a common convoy,
06:42 it was a presidential convoy.
06:44 So, obviously, there will be so many security layers,
06:47 and so many security checks.
06:51 to be successful.
