Unlike some other PPRuNe forums, Rotorheads has a long established reputation for exchanging differing views without being rude. Please don't spoil it.
Since you ask, I'm more interested in what happened immediately preceding the collision with the crane than what the pilot did/didn't do earlier.
Well said.

quite the same as texting and driving, especially if your a/c is fitted with AP. Not recommending it though - just saying its not the same.
