Re: Lama accident in dense fog

Referring on one of the previous posts on the difficulty on selling Lamas these days. Frankly, I think it still a good workhorse for the mountains. Crashing em to get rid of them on purpose does happen but in this case, and I agree with tecpilot, that dude had gethomeitis to get his heini kicked upon return.

Did he survive? Is there a weather minima policy in place? And on top of it, the already bruised image of being a helicopter pilot just adds to the list of well wishers at AustroControl and the Department of Transportation. Welcome to the stringent world of operating under JAR regulations.
