8,577 TT with 1,250 in the S76. 10 years with the company. Instrument rating. CFI; CFII (Helo? Was he current IFR? Doesn’t say). Current biennial with EuroSafety as of May, 2019.
Sorry, guys - he seems a bit too long in the tooth for spatial disorientation. He ain’t no rich kid out over the water at night making a turn to final. And what the hell is this: “Zobayan was not authorized to fly in heavy clouds”? Was this a company restriction? Or was he non-current IFR?
Me? I’m gonna wait for the final NTSB report. (My quals? Type rated - ATP - in 707/720/737/757/767. 18,000+ total time. Air Force trained; retired airline pilot / line check airman. Current CFI/CFII.)
That’s fine, no question as to your quals. But I pose the same question as in my earlier post. What else are you gonna imply? You know well as I the vast majority of aircraft accidents are pilot error. Happens to old and bold. Get there itis in this case.
