In the Irish accident, two very experienced Captains flying a private S76 had a CAA examiner onboard experimenting with a GPS approach to the private landing site. They flew straight into the hills doing it
Slight semantics, but the CAA Examiner was not onboard - it was he who initiated the search action, as the aircraft was not there to meet him in Aldergrove the next morning.
