skyreaper Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Well according to that story, its either the E sucks in IMC or the pilot does. I believe they put dual VORs and an ILS in the E model, finally getting rid of the ADF... lol. I have to believe its equiped w some type of attitude indicator, altimeter, and VSI if its IFR capable. Clouds arent an excuse to crash. Quote
Yamer Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 I just saw this in my news feed too... My initial thought was pilot error but I'm not nearly an expert Quote
apacheguy Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Man they really made a mess with that landing. Why am I not surprised. Quote
rharris Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 Dash cam video of the accident. http://theaviationist.com/2014/04/26/taiwan-ah-64e-crash-video/ Quote
Talon64 Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 That's crazy! Looked like he was in a dive coming out of the clouds. Quote
rharris Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 I'm no pilot yet, but it seems that he got disoriented in the clouds, and tried to recover once he identified it. too little, too late. Quote
