SS: It was Captain Rebecca Lobach who was 28 years old and a native of Durham, N.C.
Edit: Love that this is getting downvoted into oblivion. Sorry it didn’t fit your narrative, but this was the actual pilot that killed everyone.
>A checkride, as opposed to a normal training flight, creates some unique dynamics in the cockpit. In a checkride, the less experienced pilot can be nervous and eager to not make mistakes, while the instructor pilot is watching to see how the other pilot responds to different developments,” Bowman explained. “Sometimes an instructor pilot will test the less experienced aviator to see how they respond, but such a technique would have been unusual and inadvisable in that location given the reduced margin for error.
So whoever thought it was a good idea to do a “checkride” in bad conditions next to a busy airport is the one to blame for this incident not Rebecca.
What’s the conspiracy here?
I have not read a single article that confirmed she had control of the helicopter. There is already radio exchanges out from the incident, in which a male voice tells the air traffic controller twice that he does indeed see the plane. There hasn’t been enough time for an investigation to know the exact details yet.
