Hi jeremys and welcome!
I do believe I've seen this mentioned previously by another player as well. Do you happen to have video of this occurring that you'd be able to share?
I have experienced the same issue as the OP on Xbox One.
Issue is reproducible on Xbox One, in Pucara west of Todas Santos town fast travel, at the drop off location for the supply choppers.
I have 2 videos of me landing a supply helicopter at this drop off location. When my character exits the vehicle, the helicopter vaults up into the air and explodes, my character is knocked out, and I fail the side mission. This action usually causes the other helicopter at the site to explode as well.
Issue may be an object collision with the other helicopter at the landing site.
Please let me know how I can upload the 2 videos to Ubisoft or this forum. I don't know how to do it.

Sharing the videos you were able to capture will help us out a great deal, Neightsauce. The best way to do this would be to upload them to YouTube and then link them to us here in the forum. Sharing them in a ticket to Ubi Support is something else that will go a long way towards getting this particular issue both documented and tracked.
I've not been able to smoothly land a large military or supply helicopter since the controls update. Small helicopters no problem, land and get out , the helicopter stays there. With the large helicopters (i typically only fly them on supply drops), i can land, with the helicopter stationary on the ground, but as soon as i get out, the helicopter will 'jump' in some way. Some times it hops up in the air, inverts and crashes destroyed failing the side mission. Once, one shot off sideways and miraculously did an airborn flip and coasted down the side of the mountain, and ended up damaged but not destroyed. I was able thr chase it down, get back in and fly it back again, it still did a twist on exit but primarily stayed put the second time around. Sometimes it will twist sideways or spin, and hit an object next to where i land (exploding barrels are the best). It almost seems like there is a discrepency in the game of where resting on the ground is depending on if you are piloting the helicopter or if it is simply stationary and empty on the ground. Like you can land 6" lower than where the helicopter would stand empty so the second you get out, it pops our of the ground. That seemed like it made sense until last night, i landed a supply chopper on the ground and got out, but instead of the supply chopper jumping away as usual, the small chopper i never touched that was already at the RV shot sideways into the supply chopper sending them both rolling into the air and destroying both of them. It would almost be entertaining if resources weren't so valuable right now. I need tons of them and 3 out of 4 supply drops will fail because it typically wont give me the resources until i get out of the helicopter, and when i get it out it jumps and dies, failing the mission.
I've never video recorded or streamed my game play, but i believe the functionality is integrated to the xbox one I've jist never cared abour it. But i will look into it and try to get a video foe you guys if it really helps. I will also experiment with hovering a foot off the ground and jumping out instead of actually landing.
Regardless, there is certainly an issue here, seems apparently verified by multiple people at this point, and it would be reassuring if we got confirmation that the dev team was aware and looking into it.
I made a post about this same issue a day or so after the big patch was released. This video is a cut of many times it has happened to me in various levels of effect. Sometimes the chopper will just lurch sideways and all is fine. Other time it will flip completely and explode or push me out of the map. Rarely, it will do nothing at all. This also only seems to happen with the big choppers like gunships and resource ones.

I have the same issue I have uploaded a couple of clips of it happening on my Xbox profile (GT: Pluto 44). I find that it always happens on supply and gunship helicopters and when I exit the vehicle. When playing coop with someone they are able to get out without issue but as soon as I get out that is when the helicopter does a nasty hop that either flings my character up high enough that I die on impact or throws my character into the blades and kills me. Just as a side note for those having this issue and not able to complete the supply side mission you can just land and hold left trigger to hold to the ground on the green marker and it should complete then you can either just fly way and go to another place or fly up and parachute to the ground.
Apologies for the headaches this issue has been causing you guys as of late. Just want to thank everyone for reporting in on their experiences with this helicopter situation and to let you all know that our dev team is currently on the case investigating this.
What I do is keep on pressing on ctrl until I get mission complete, then you can exit the copper.

i play on xbox one and every time i land a supply chopper i wait for a second before getting out so that i complete the side mission but when i get out the chopper either starts spinning and knocks me out or gets shot into the air with me and i get knocked out. ive also been glitched into the ground and fell under the map and died. seems to have started happening after title update 6 i believe.
