Analysis
The plt attemped a descent and noticed the collective had locked up. Even with considerable pressure, he was unable to move the collective in either direction. He checked the system & made several remedial action attempts to no avail. An uneventful emerg landing was performed. A complete examination of the collective hydraulic system failed to disclose any system failure.
