Maybe people will be more accountable after the insurance companies chime in on this accident, and raise the minimums. It seems to be the SOP. I just read the report published in Rotor and Wing, and the causes go beyond just texting. I'm assuming that the pilot in question had 2000+ hours with all necissary ratings, yet he failed to control all aspects of the flight from start to finish (even failing to recognize the need to, need to enter an auto). The govenments verbage is vague in the article, so please tell me if I read it correctly or not. Anyway, my guess is that this accident will bring about changes that alter company policy accross the industry as it pertains to experience.
