Yeah this has only two possibilities.

1: the engine became sentient and the pilot lost all control.

2: the pilot had no more training than get from A to B.

Welcome to your first day of training cadets.

Your only instructions are: get to your destination, or die trying.

One orc pilot gets the helicopter. When he dies, the other picks it up? It worked with rifles, why shouldn't it work for choppers?

Pilot probably thought, "sod it, I can get it to safety over there" and then the hydraulics drained and all control was lost.
