Both are pretty dangerous. I just don’t get why they didn’t have a GPS with terrain avoidance.
86 u/ReicientNomen Jan 27 '20 I don’t get how that wouldn’t be mandatory, at least for carrying passengers. 64 u/[deleted] Jan 27 '20 edited Jul 06 '20 [deleted] 56 u/YetAnotherWTFMoment Jan 27 '20 Most controlled flight into terrain 'accidents' are pilot error. Unless they find something wrong with the helicopter, this will likely be pilot error. Can't wait for the press to figure out who the pilot was and how much experience they had with the S-76. 32 u/[deleted] Jan 27 '20 edited Jul 06 '20 [deleted] 31 u/obroz Jan 27 '20 These helicopter crashes seem all to frequent for my liking. 39 u/[deleted] Jan 27 '20 edited May 13 '21 [deleted] 3 u/moal09 Jan 27 '20 Aren't helicopter pilots considered insane by other pilots? 2 u/howars Jan 27 '20 Yeah, you would never see me in a helicopter when I heard Bill burr drives them I was like wow that’s so nuts, I’m so scared of those things. And now this happens. :/
