You raise some good points in that one short post!
Inop Attitude Indicator....not covered.....now there is an interesting situation.
You are very lucky it was not a Helicopter you were flying at the time....the end result would probably have not allowed you to post about it.
SASless, I most certainly wouldn't be writing this post had I been in a helicopter. I think the main reason I survived and what sticks in my mind is I experienced some sort of phenomenon where the 42 seconds were the longest 3 or 4 minutes of my life. You are very calm and able to think clearly, I seemed to have so much time? But yes, little chance in a helicopter, especially with rising terrain as in this case. I wonder if Kobe's pilot or anyone else here has experienced something similar.
