Also, helicopters should not be blasting into clouds at 100+ knots- they have a good bit more flexibility to stay below them + a lot more flexibility on where to land.
Never thought about it that much- but makes sense.Les règles de l'aviation de base découragent de longues périodes de dur tirer vers le haut.

There might be fundamental airmanship involved in that picture.
HERE is Evan reading procedure and engineering manuals to try and figure out what pilots do wrong:

Originally posted by ATLcrew View PostThere are helicopters that even have FMS and autopilot with autohover, but they're uncommon. Many are IFR-equipped, but not certified.
Most of the time, the weather doesn't go COMPLETELY nor instantly to zero-zero and you might slow down to 15 knots and find someplace to put it down...I recognize it's New Yark, but...Les règles de l'aviation de base découragent de longues périodes de dur tirer vers le haut.

Now an NTSB report puts him back over the East River, completely contradicting previous reports.
Originally posted by BBC
The report says about five to seven minutes after take-off, he then "contacted Atlantic Aviation and made a request to return to the heliport".
After being advised to land, he then radioed to say he "did not know where he was".
The NTSB said he flew erratically over the city's East River, changing course and altitude several times before making a dramatic turn and straying over Manhattan.
I wouldn't trust the veracity of this reporting however. They've got the wrong building outlined in the picture.

Originally posted by GabrielPilot was identified and he was apparently a very experienced pilot.
On MSFS in my basement, with my great expertise, I THINK I would have slowed down, gone someplace safe, got on the radio and calmly sorted out what options were available...It's probably easier in my basement, but I think they actually teach those sorts of things in the real world and that they are often reasonably effective procedures.Les règles de l'aviation de base découragent de longues périodes de dur tirer vers le haut.
