Llama: quite right. 111 pages of so called experts summating that something unusual or intangible has perhaps happened to make the pilot err.
For goodness sake everyone - listen to yourselves. We're in this nanny state of ours because of naive statements like these on the last 111 pages.
There was NOTHING wrong with the A/c: FACT.
There was nothing wrong with the bloody weather: FACT.
There was no pilot incapacitation: FACT.
There was nothing wrong with the damn ILS: FACT.

The soft centred, fleshy bit in the middle of the helicopter made a mistake/miscalculated/disengaged from his duties/suspended logical thought/misidentified visual cues............

The pilot(s) made a mistake. Please can we label this accident appropriately and stop covering it in layers of mellifluous sophism!
