HA35 Pilots Knew Of Serious Bad Weather And Turbulence Before Recklessly Flying Into It And Not Around It | NTSB Final Report Confirms ALG’s Investigation

The NTSB’s statement that the flight crew should have “gone around” the storm cell confirms a central aspect of our allegations: this was an avoidable accident.

ALG does not agree with the NTSB’s conclusion that it is simply pilot error that is causing the main rotor to impact the aircraft. In the real-world helicopters operate in a dynamic environment in which they can routinely and unpredictably encounter weather and/or flight conditions that can easily exceed Robinson’s narrow envelope for safe flight.
