Fatal crash of US Marines’ Osprey in Norway blamed on pilot error
This should be free for each persons first five views. Pilot error was the cause of an Osprey aircraft crash in Norway in March that killed four Marines, the service said in a statement. (www.stripes.com) Más...B.S, blame the overly complex POS osprey and the mic that fielded it. Dead pilots are difficult to interview to say what went wrong yet all to often are assigned the guilt! All the streets around EAFB are named after dead test pilots.
"Analysis of the recovered aircraft data showed that while in the valley, the Osprey made a left turn at 68 degrees angle of bank, followed by an over corrected right turn of more than 80 degrees, the Marines said."
How about the possibility of a powerplant or hydraulics fail as they have been known for, since the USMC and training designees had already trained him on the bank angle limits!
Sounds much more like mechanical fail in a mechanical fail prone aircraft than pilot error!
and, BTB, a 5,000 PSI hydraulic fail, leak will sever anything in its path as rapidly as a plasma cutter.

5000psi hydralics??? That thing must be prone to leaks?
Wow what a deal guess you should head all accident investigations. And by the way what mic are you talking about was there some radio chatter durning the crash. And most of all always blame the mechanic we are always at fault never the pilot.
I don’t see any blaming of the mechanic in this post, nor a high frequency in NTSB reports.I think he was referring to a known system issue that might explain the flight anomalies.
You will see no NTSB reports on military accidents unless there is a tangential connection to civilian transport ops. IE charters for military service members.
A military aviation accident investigation, MAAI, sans some form of commercial ops. involvement is completely divorced from civil aircraft accident investigators, IE FAA, NTSB.

IE, the military will blame anyone but the MIC!

Some punctuation would be awesome. Might almost make this comment readable.
When the clutches slip, they sometimes reengage, which throws power back the other way, and “if the aircrew were unable to control the aircraft when the incident occurs, it could result in loss of control and uncontrolled landing of the aircraft,” Lt. Col. Becky Heyse told Breaking Defense. “The safety of our Airmen is of the utmost importance, therefore no AFSOC CV-22s will fly until we will determine the cause of the hard clutch engagements and risk control measures are put in place.” It’s not clear how long the tiltrotors will be grounded. The Navy and Marines operate hundreds of the aircraft but there has been no similar announcement from those branches.
