Wonderful to see this video! Often during FAASAFETY seminars I find myself being the only one flying helicopters. Glad to see there are more of us out there 🙂

Are you guys looking at Trevor Jacobs staged plane crash?

[@Eltoca21]

While this is of course valuable information, it does seem like a rather damning indictment on the quality (or regulation) of maintenance to be expected?

[@Pork-Chopper]

Nothing stops you, PIC from doing your own thorough inspections and not totally relying or trusting the rotor craft mechanics/technicians, and grilling them if necessary. The PIC is ultimately responsible. You may not live to chew them out...

[@jeffgoin]

It just acknowledges the reality that humans, including mechanics, aren't perfect. The omission that caused this crash is EXTREMELY rare. But it was preventable by sufficient inspection. The fact that maintenance does such a good job overall is why staying focused is so difficult. You inspect a 1000 times and find nothing which will naturally lead to complacency. We are all susceptible. Hopefully it will encourage me to ask to do an inspection on my aircraft before it's buttoned up next annual.

[@Pork-Chopper]

@@jeffgoin Look at it this way. I'm a mechanic. And I don't trust other mechanics. If I have something done by another shop, I always double check their work. Believe me, I've had to send work back, because it was not done to the standard of quality I expect.

Please speed up orbital launch SpaceX!!!!!!. We must be on Mars before the China!!!!!!

[@MyNathanking]

And please speed up your ultimate decisions about knocking Trevor Jacobs The Plane-Crashing Asshole out of the sky for good for purposely crashing that airplane. Shit on him.
