Helicrazy ..... I can only assume you can't read . Read my post again . Nobody would ever intentionally fly at all in 50 or 100 or even 500 m of viz .ok ? I am only saying that if you were stupid enough to get into that sort of situation you still have the option of hover taxiing to the nearest flat clear spot to land . You can still salvage the situation you have got yourself into !! That is the beauty of a helicopter ... You always have the option to slow right down and land , even if you have already messed up and gone into really poor weather . As I said before these options reduce if you go into hostile territory like forests and mountains.
Can we please drop this whole nonsense as we all know , just because something can be done doesn't mean it should !!!
The important point is , are we going to do anything proactive to help improve these statistics of helicopters flying into things ? Surely that is what should come from this tragedy.
