Exactly as we suspected.. Judging by the snatchy lift, the inaccurate spot turn and the barely in control hover taxi, I'd say this was a very inexperienced EC120 pilot. Even a very low hour student would have been able to control a spot turn in calm conditions and taught not to be flying sideways that low to the ground. This accident and the death of an innocent spectator was the product of ignorance; somewhere there is an instructor who should called to account.
