  • ADS-B data offered investigators a detailed picture of Kobe Bryant’s Sikorsky S-76B helicopter as it approached Calabasas on January 26, 2020. It revealed that visibility was bad, and getting worse-so why did the pilot continue?

    So in other words, Kobe Bryant didn't do anything to pressure his pilot. But his pilot are pressuring himself because Kobe is too nice for him. That's why pilots need to be professional in any case, and not mixing up emotional pressure with professional competence.

      Wrong. Kobe fired his previous pilot for a safety delay getting more fuel than minimum.
      When you fire one pilot for safety delays, that is pressure on the next pilot.
      This is absolutely pressure from Kobe to ignore everything but his whims, and he killed people with his attitude.

    No matter what Kobe Bryant may have said, which I doubt he gave any pressure to pilots, the pilot is the one at the pilot's seat. He was responsible for the aircraft and the occupants. A driver does not speed up when a nasty little brat keeps saying, "Are we there yet?" over and over. I hate to say it. I think this was entirely pilot error.

The pilot possibly admire Kobe on his work ethic and he tried to copy it. Do what ever it takes even flying 45 mins earlier than schedule. Imagine they fly at 9:45 instead of 9 kobe and people inside that aircraft are possibly still alive.

    _"Did Kobe’s Pilot Sacrifice Safety to Accommodate his Star Passenger?"_
    We'll never know, so the question hardly deserves emphasis in the face of the known facts, and the rational likelihoods. VFR into IMC, followed by spatial disorientation and loss of aircraft control, is a sadly common cause of accident. It's occurred countless times when pilots didn't have "star passengers" aboard, and it's happened even while pilots were flying alone.

    I was working at a convenience store in Reseda when this happened. The next day, Monday morning, a customer came in who worked at the Van Nuys airport, close to us. He said that the NTSB office was right next to his. The people from that office called him over and showed him footage from a security camera that showed the helicopter spinning wildly out of control as it fell out of the sky with the tail broken off. He said they speculated that the driveshaft to the tail rotor had collapsed. I believe this to be the truth as to what happened. But the pilot was dead anyway so just blame it on him rather than ground a whole fleet of expensive helicopters.

    • @cardinalRG

    • @cardinalRG
      @cardinalRG Před rokem +1

      Without visual reference, a human cannot remain physically oriented. In an aircraft, that means the pilot can’t keep the aircraft upright. That’s why instrument-rated pilots are trained to fly by instruments alone, even in zero visibility. But the pilot in this accident was out of practice, and became spatially disoriented, and was no longer able to control the aircraft.
