I'm pretty certain there is a placard that reads "do not store anything under all the seats" [sic] in the factory bench seat equipped cabin. At least in the older models that i've flown.
But I'd be very surprised if they were running these machines with stuff stored in a non-approved way. |
Why did the helicopter crash?
Mechanical failure....pilot error? Any information out that begins to address the cause of the crash? Daytime...decent weather....windy....and it crashed during landing.....so what went wrong? Another ASplat hydraulic problem? |

Engine failure? All the parts looked to be right next to the aircraft cabin and fuselage?
Main Rotor blades did not seem to show much rotational damage on the leading edges. Same for the Tail Rotor Blades from what is visible. It was windy....but they were landing at the airport....not some confined area. Christmas Valley is pretty much out in an open Plain....no mountains very close as I recall. News reports are saying the landed hard then rolled over. Seems some folks are being pretty tight lipped.....even the pprune Accident Investigation Crowd. |
NTSB prelim confirms pprune posted information. And nothing more.
|
Any logical reason for the NTSB not to travel to the crash scene?
Would not that be a great place to initiate an Accident Investigation....survey the location of all the bits and pieces....photograph everything....identify any witnesses...locate security cameras and that kind of thing? |
