Helicopter crashes on Roof of Manhattan Skyscrapper
No injuries reported as of yet. Small fire quickly put out. If true, Lucky all around. (mynorthwest.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
If I recall correctly, that Agusta sells for about six and a half million. What owner in their right mind allows an aircraft in that class to be piloted by someone who is not instrument-rated, given the unpredictable and generally crappy weather in the state of New York?
Someone who has zero idea of FARs and the reasons for them.....
No instrument rating and trying to scud run it back to his home base. The dive out of the clouds smacks of spatial disorientation. Clint Eastwood said it best: "A man's got to know his limitations."
Current reports indicate pilot was not IFR rated.
SO SORRY FOR THE MANS FAMIY AND FRIENDS..MAY HE REST IN PEACE..the weather was rainy,foggy and misty,so that may be a factor..there are a lot of helicopters in and around the manhatten area,but one of the news outlets reported this particular building and area is a "no fly" zone because it is close to the trump tower..the pilot was reported to be very experienced,so the authorities will find the cause to be sure..
You might want to revise this subhead above.
There, I fixed it for you.
