I read this report with great sadness - I was skiing in Flaine last week and commented to my wife that the guy in the twin squirrel was not leaving himself any margin for error in the way he was setting up his approaches.. .I was on a drag lift when he got the rotors within 20 feet of the cables in the middle of a split-arse turn on to finals giving it lots of angle of bank and blade slap.. .If it was the same guy who crashed this week, then I am not surprised, only saddened that I did not go and have a word with him about toning down his flying a little.. .Flight Safety never goes away.
