GPS still works in the outback!
I'm not a crash investigator but it certainly seems like something happened at a high speed. Is it too early to suggest dark night, next to a large lake, lack of towns and visual references... wouldn't be the first time for a chopper, regardless of experience.
Last light from my calc was 6:19pm.
Based on the pictures he appears to fly with a 296/396/495 on the dash.
