NTSB releases an investigative update on the B-767 runway excursion accident in Miami: ntsb.gov/investigations/Page…
Helicopter vortices are one of the most dangerous forms of invisible wake turbulence light aircraft can encounter.
Fixed wing pilots should treat helicopters the same way they do large aircraft!
Here's the footage showing the moment Pennsylvania State Police Bell 407GX (N873ST) collided with Cessna 150H (N23330) yesterday at Carlisle Airport.
One thing that immediately stands out is the hovering helicopter; it can generate significant rotor downwash, creating severe turbulence.
I wonder if the Cessna got too close to the Bell 407's downwash, potentially losing control or being pushed off its flight path. Could the helicopter's rotor wash have contributed to the sudden deviation that sent the Cessna into its path?
The investigation will have to determine exactly what happened; these are just my thoughts for now.
T-Minus 20 days until CFI initial checkride.
Feel like I could use ‘bout 80 to get prepped.
Any tips?
Passed my commercial single engine add on ride today. Another step closer to the Miracle on the Mojave master Nathan Fielder.
CFI/II next.
Mammoth said “don’t look at us!” 😂
Mammoth Freighters, which performed the passenger-to-freighter conversion of N705DN released a statement on yesterday’s low pass. They say the current owner was in control of the aircraft at the time. FAA records show Jetran LLC as the registered owner. flightradar24.com/blog/fligh…
