It sounds like the pilot did an extremely good job. But for a lack of luck, unfortunately.
Noting the observation that the iPad could have been a factor in the passenger's demise, I would recommend that all pilots should have a secondary tether for anything that isn't firmly attached in an aircraft. If you take a car to a track day, you cannot go out with a GoPro etc unless it has a secondary tie down. I have a tie on my iPad, as a consequence of something that happened to me recently. |
