EFATO is a calculated risk we all have to consider every takeoff Take a look at a heli height/velocity chart & the " deadmans curve ", where an engine failure is at an altitude too low for successful auto rotation It's a numbers game, despite our best efforts sometimes the deck can be stacked against you & you may find that "you are screwed" Disclaimer: not suggesting EFATO was the cause of this accident

Been a while since I operated under or read a CASA rule book but here in NZ if you're not medically fit, in my case motorcycle accident & broken leg,you're obliged to send your license to CAA for safe keeping & return upon proof of fitness Could this be the situation in this case ?
