It still appears from the AIS data that the heli approached blackrock from the west tracking east with a track of 098 degrees as previously shown.It may have clipped the lighthouse outbuildings or something above the westerly cliff,at this point with severe loss of controlability from a compromised aircraft theoretically the heli could have ended up ditching anywhere around the islands perimeter?however the westerly side would have been the more obvious choice given the laws of physics.i guess all will be known when the fdr and cvr are retrieved the whole thing is very sad especially when these great pros saved so many people themselves.
