Give it a rest, the NTSB wrote the report more for the FAA more than any one else. The FAA will file the thing in the Round file cabinet. Well I never flown S-76's only Bell 206's and every single one of those 206 had a different lay out. The Pilots are dead so its easy to blame them, and the rules make the pilots the ones that will be blamed when all else fails. The guys flew into the water, killed themselves and there Passingers. Would a Radar Alt have helped yep it would provide it was turned on and working and the Pilots were paying attention. It all comes back to two pilots for some reason not paying attention and well it hurt them. But it has to be somebodies fault, NSTB has an adjenda, the FAA has theirs, Era well we all know what happend to them because if it, Sikorsky gets tared and feathered for not doing total fitting out there products, never mind that customers like to do their own pannels. All in all that report is just another circle jerk. Take it for what it is, learn from it and move on.
