@@littleferrhis He didn't remain clear of the clouds, he entered the clouds in an attempt to get on top (another 100' or so and he would have made it) and, it appears, spatial disorientation caused him to lose control. Until you've had to control an aircraft on instruments, in IMC, you can't begin to guess what it's like. I can't imagine what that would be like in a helicopter. I've got about 30s of time with just trying to take off in a small helicopter and even though I could see what I was doing, I didn't like it one bit (a friend of mine, also a CFI, "fixed it"). Instrument flying is a perishable skill. dviaviation.com/files/38800990.pdf The type of flying that he was engaged in didn't offer a lot of opportunity to maintain his instrument flying skills. I think it's safe to say that his job could be stressful. All of that added up to a bad ending. SVFR also has a visibility component and, so far, it appears that he didn't adhere to that either.

G'day, Even an Autopilot cannot hover a Heligoflopter in Instrument Meteorological Conditions...; the Autopilots in Choppers work by flying the Chopper like a Fixed-Wing Machine, Juan Browne suggested 65 or 70 Knots being their minimum Autopilot operating Speed. Perhaps the Pilot failed to transition from SVFR (Scud-Running with ATC Permission) to IFR, and tried to engage the Autopilot in desperation when already flying too slow....(?). The decision to take off was the first of a Chain of Errors which killed them all ; the Pilot should have told the professional Basketball Dribbler to fly it himself, and then - unless some other obedient Kamikaze could have been engaged to perform the Crash (oops "Flight"), the machine would've sat on the Tarmac while the Rich Man had a Tantrum & ordered an "Emergency" Limousine for the Trip.

It could have been descending at 2300 fpm with a forward true airspeed of 200 knots or 20 knots, it literally doesn’t matter; but the debris field suggests the higher forward speed with that 2300 foot per minute descent rate. You might also have a really slow descent rate, say 50 fpm, and have any combination of forward speed-a helicopter is capable of this. In level flight you will have no descent and whatever forward speed you want.

Iamkoool2 easiest way to explain what I said: Pilot flew in moderate weather that was declining. Pilot entered a cloud layer/fog so could no longer see his orientation in flight. He then proceeded to fly the helicopter straight into the hill under his own controls. This is my own opinion but some facts support it. When flying in clouds and fog you have to rely on your instruments to keep yourself in level flight. The NTSB is going to investigate and make sure those instruments were properly working. Small thing, when you’re in clouds, you can be flying upside down but physically your body feels right side up. What do you trust, your gut feeling that you’re right side up, or your instrument panel that’s telling you you’re upside down. (The panel rarely lies).

Go fly in a small cessna in the clouds. Your body will deceive you. You can feel like you are straight and level but you are actually banking in a dive. The only way to fly in clouds is with the flight instruments. Most fixed wing private pilots die within about a minute of flying into clouds. Look it up. VFR into IMC.... one of the biggest killers to private pilots. I am working on my instrument rating right now and I can attest to this personally. Your body will make you feel all kinds of things that are wrong when you are in the clouds. You can not fully understand this until you have experienced it. Go to any pilot forum. Everyone is suspecting the same thing. CFIT. Controlled flight into terrain. It is not uncommon and even commercial airliners have done it.... We will have to wait for the NTSB report.

If the FAA implemented every recommendation the aviation industry would go collectively bankrupt. Their primary job is NOT to make flying safer- its to enforce regulations that enhance safety, WHILE promoting and supporting the private aviation industry. i.e.- they are Required by their charter to consider the economic impact of regulation on the health of the aviation industry. The safest possible plane is one that no one can afford to build and operate, and so no on ever flies in it. There is NO way that a terrain avoidance system would have prevented this crash. ( you hear them going off in every cockpit recording of a plane crashing ) The Pilot KNEW he was low over hilly terrain. He thought he could sneak under the cloud deck and over the freeway thru a low mountain pass... but ran out of visibility. He may have been trying to execute a simple 180 to abort the attempt, and went into the cloud layer to gain ground clearance. When he started the turn he was well above the terrain... but the angle of his impact and his speed make it clear that he became disoriented as to his attitude and thought he was flying in a level banking turn when he was actually flying toward the ground... he may have wondered why his airspeed was going up, but by the time he saw the ground, just 100 feet below the bottom of the clouds, he was going so fast he could never have brought the helicopter to a stop before impact. The NTSB will probably painstakingly eliminate every other potential cause of this crash and end up with an analysis like that above. They are almost certainly pretty sure that is what happened... but they need to make sure they have not overlooked anything. What is confusing is that this pilot was not only instrument rated, but was a qualified instrument flight instructor. I don’t know why he didn’t just file IFR and fly in the clouds at an altitude well above terrain and where ATC could see him on radar and ensure he had a clear path, kept his eyes on his panel and ignored what his inner ear was telling him. Even expert pilots can make mistakes.

@christopherpardell44184 жыл бұрын
Claude what he did was to climb to be sure he could execute a 180, when he saw he could not make it thru the pass VFR. But in clearing the terrain, he flew into the low cloud deck. Flying VFR into instrument meteorological conditions is the second most common cause of fatal accidents in general aviation. Without external visual references, Your inner ear gives you false feedback as to your orientation in space... for example, if you are in a nose up climb, you feel yourself being pushed backwards into your seat by the force of gravity... however, if you are in a nose down dive, you feel the exact same sensation because of the acceleration downwards. It’s why it’s hard to learn to fly on instruments. You have to train yourself to totally ignore what you "feel", keep your eyes on your panel, and trust your instruments. He got himself into a nose up climb, and was looking out the window trying to peer thru the fog... but when he started to dive, he was certain he was still climbing. By the time he exited the cloud deck, he would have been looking down toward his feet think that was Down... but Actual ‘down’ was out his front window. By the time he cleared the cloud deck, he was moving at too high a speed to slow or pull out before hitting the ground. The cautionary tale is that this guy WAS certified for IMC and yet he still lost track of his orientation in space within a minute of entering the cloud deck.
