    1. Scant details. If the Eurocopter was parked (likely scenario) it would be gross negligence on pilots part, i.e., not looking where they were going. As you say how does it happen. It is registered to what sounds like Honda Co. So it's a demo or flight test plane?

    2. It was a flight test aircraft. The HYD Pump over temped. The pilot should has call and asked us to tow him from the end of the runway to our hangar But no he decided to taxi and brake using the accumilator pressure. Buy the time he got to the parking area he was out of accumilator pressure. He almost ran over the ground crew because he did not even communicate to the maintenance crew (Me) who was on the head set. I was pissed
