Adam Curry: AviationAviation Newschopper4 crash- May 7, 2004 Watching this video of New York's wnbc newschopper4 crash gives me the willies. As a licensed helicopter pilot I immediately realized this is a case of loss of tailrotor effectiveness LTE. Pilots call this a 'day wrecker'. Considering he was flying over densely populated Flatbush NY, I think the pilot made several life-saving decisions.http://radio.weblogs.com/0001014/categories/aviation/2004/05/07.html#a5617 |
