Abeg tell me something else, even in low visibility the pilot ought to have known when the plane is descending or ascending. How can you tell me my blind uncle won't know when he's falling from the sky?? Motion necessarily don't need sight to affirm.
you won't if you are in an airplane except you look outside which in his case was covered in fog

Was it his dead body that came out to grant this interview? To tell us he thought he was going up while going down? A pilot?

Nawa o. Pilot previously disciplined because of weather violations, he wasn't licensed to fly in poor visibility, now news of him erroneously reporting he was climbing while he was descending.

How did Kobe put his and his daughter's lives in the hands of this quack?

Spatial disorientation. Was the pilot not instrument-rated?
your instrument eating really comes to play in landing, and not in thick fog over mountains... With terrain proximity warning system confused... Mother nature is to be blamed bro.....

Are you an aviation enthusiast?, If you ate, you should know that spatial disrientation comes to play if you are a pilot and looking ousideo helps but not in this case with thick fog... Let me explain, do you know that you can walk in a plane while the pilot is undergoing a 30degree bank without knowing it?... Because you wontw fall.. or if a plane is crashing and falling out of the skies, that somonso who doesn't know what's going on can actually be walking and laughing because unlike the movie's tell us, things don't fall over?... I blame fog... It'll suprise you that fog and birds are a pilot worst nightmare and not even engine failures

They don't have to interview him. Pilots communicate with traffic control on their speed, altitude and other flight parameters. Black box records these data. Investigations have revealed that the pilot made mistakes

“Aviation in itself is not inherently dangerous. But to an even greater degree than the sea, it is terribly unforgiving of any carelessness, incapacity or neglect.” Captain A. G. Lamplugh

Hope you get my point..... Yes truly there are events(Act of God) beyond the capacity or control of any human, it's is fundamental in Nature, we categorise them as Natural disasters

every registered aircraft has what is called flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder inside a small book called Black box, somwere In the aircraft...

The flight data recorder, records everything single thing you do, in a graph like or other ways, and records everything the plane does in a graph like stafe.

While the cockpit voice recorder records every sound that is made within the proximity of the cockpit.

So putting everything together you can tell what the pilot did, at what time, and at what state of mind.

Oya pick your car and drive through thick fog at high speed and see wgaw it is... If you tell me why didn't he slow down, I'll ask you, do you know that an airplane slowing down will stall and fall to the ground? .... Read books and stop being silly olodo

.. but in this case I blame mother nature.

Clear case of spatial disorientation marred by terrain wake turbulence like I predicted and that explains the full power the helicopter was on before impact , the pilot was trying to climb as fast as he could while being caught in the downward draft of the terrain wake turbulence..Only a very experienced pilot that has trained for this will pull out of this ...The best move would have been to allow defend into the wake draft and bank out sharply from the perceptive direction of where the terrain was ,risky move but seems like the only chance

This case the pilot is actually to fault , he should never have taken off in that kind of weather in a chopper not equipped with the right equipment for such blind flying

Such a ridiculous report.How can a pilot push down a collective control to climb instead of pulling it up to effectively change the pitch angle of the rotor blades.Thats very unheard of unless they are saying there is malfunctioning in the connections between the swash plates and the vertical pitch links.Very bizarre knowing that a legend is gone.

One thousand seven hundred pages report..and the whole summary couldn't give the final report of what exactly happened except weird conclusion that the pilot was actually thinking he was ascending when the craft is descending...Abeg make give me water to drink..

At a point during take off in an airplane, it's difficult to say if the aircraft is ascending or descending. You get a sinking feeling making it seem the aircraft is falling off the sky when in fact it's ascending. Pilots also loose orientation often at this stage.
