Gomer Pylot Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 From first reports, it looks like another case of CFIT. The EC135 is a very capable IFR machine, and my personal preference when I'm in an IFR capable machine is to file and fly IFR if the weather is even a little iffy, often even if it isn't, just for practice. I wasn't there, though, so I won't comment further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDHelicopterPilot Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 (edited) It is a very sad situation and I feel for the families and friends. We will have to wait to hear the final result of the accident. Although I am sure weather played a big role. My prayers to the families.
