apiaguy Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 2nd one down with fatalities... wanna start placing bets what the feds are going to do? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arotrhd Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 I'm will bet there will be an investigation. Just like any aircraft accident involving injuries/fatalities. There will be FACTUAL evidence gathered and reported. Final report will be issued. If further information/evidence regarding the the investigation is discovered or made relevant after the final report is issued, NTSB will revisit and perhaps modify their probable cause(s)and/or contributing factors. If you haven't gotten a sense of my sarcasm in response to "...wanna start placing bets what the feds are going to do?", I'll try to be a little more blunt next time. .Maybe make a guest appearance on the Today show or something and pop off your opinions there. Please don't speculate with subjects like this, or encourage others. If nothing else, don't post'em here on VR...go to the other place that likes to stir sh!t up with rumors and similar discussion. Almost all of us have had to experience somebody close dying in an accident, and had to deal with the after-effects to their family & friends. Let the investigation turn up what it turns up & learn from it. Show some respect for fellow rotorheads involved, as well as OUR industry and hold off on opinions. -WATCH FOR THE PATTERNS, WATCH FOR THE WIRES- 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apiaguy Posted October 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 haha... ahothd.. you've got it all wrong but oh well...I'm merely picking up that there have been 2 fatal accidents on a new design in less than 6 months of production. Given the history of the FAA and Robinson I would not be suprised to see them face some sort of additional scrutiny. Your comments directed toward me stir up more crap than a discussion of type design crashes. I must be flying at your same altitude...jeez ya a hole. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarantula Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) I think apiaguy only meant that the FAA has a history of regulating robinson helicopters, especially after they have a few bad accidents.

Fred0311 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 A good point but the making bets comment about something where people lost their lives does come off as being insensitive. That being said does any one know any details of the accident? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLH Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) A post over at Robinson Helicopter Owners Group says that the rotor came off: http://robinsonhelicopters.org/?option=com_smf&Itemid=34&topic=1328.msg6775;topicseen#new Mike Edited October 5, 2011 by MLH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kodoz Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Anybody been to the safety course for the R66? Robinson have an unofficial word about what happened, and whether the first fatal was also MR separation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
