Bell 430 CFIT
Unfortunately last friday was a bad day for helicopter aviation here in Mexico, a Bell 430 who was attempting a VOR approach to MMJA (Jalapa Veracruz) crashed killing its two occupants, apparently the aircraft hit very fast since it was completely destroyed by the impact.
IFR helicopter flying over here is not very common since most airways going to and from important places have MOCA's that are at least 14,000 FT and above, this obviously means few pilots are current for IFR flight, but lately with new aircraft arriving with modern avionics such as moving maps, 4 axis autopilots, modern radars, etc. I see a lot of colleagues flying IFR without much experience or currency.
So if you are ever in the positon just be careful,
