The EC130 flight was a charter. And I'm sure that the operator had night VFR weather minimums in their Ops Specs. But there's a problem. It's the same problem that Kobe Bryant's pilot found himself...

It will come out in the NTSB report, of course, but I'd bet that the "safety pilot" in the EC130 was a freshly-rated pilot (perhaps not even IFR-rated) who was going along for the experience. ...

No, Jim. The "safety pilot" is merely a sandbag. He probably has a rating but has too few hours to be considered a PIC. So he rides along on flight where the customer requests/requires two pilots....

I see a lot of criticism of this BSO pilot on social media and YouTube. Everybody simply assumes that he screwed-up by not pulling the good engine off and autorotating into a schoolyard. The internet...

A lot of people are criticizing this EC135 pilot for not landing sooner. We know the pilot had an engine failure - he reported that to the Tower as his reason for returning. Once the engine quit,...

It's easy to armchair-quarterback any accident. Pompous pilots say, "Well, what *I* would have done..." or "What he should have done..." Yeah, yeah...you weren't in the cockpit with him, so shut up....

In 1982 or so, when I was a mere lineboy, I witnessed a man walk into the tail rotor of a Bell 222 at the E60th Street Heliport in NYC. This, despite the fact that there were *two* customer service...

Well, SAS, some of us are hooked into this industry better than others. And by "others," I mean you.

If you get into one of those situations where the helicopter goes down faster as you pull up more on the pole, then you'll do one of two things: 1) If you're high...

PHI used to have us do 180 autos from 500 feet in a 206B during every year during Recurrent. No big deal. The key was to initiate the aft cyclic input first, or at least simultaneously with putting...

I began my r/w training in the mid-1970s, and I was mostly taught by guys who had recently returned from Vietnam. They INSISTED strenuously that I do a "hover-hang" check immediately after lift-off....
