German Military Helicopter Crash In Mali Caused By Incorrectly Set Autopilot by ToriBaze: 4:15pm On Feb 28, 2018
The crash of a German military Airbus Tiger helicopter in Mali  in July 2017 was caused by incorrect settings on the autopilot, Germany’s Spiegel Online reported.
The helicopter crashed while flying a peacekeeping mission in the West African nation’s desert north, killing the two crew members.
Spiegel Online said the Defence Ministry had informed the parliamentary defence committee about the new findings.
It said the autopilot controlled the airplane’s elevator.

It remained unclear who programmed the settings on the autopilot software, which were not found on any other Tiger helicopters.
Spiegel Online cited a report from the Defence Ministry as saying the autopilot flew the helicopter sharply lower, leaving the pilots no chance to manually take the plane higher again.
A parliamentary source confirmed the gist of the Spiegel report.
An Airbus spokesman declined comment and referred all queries to German military authorities investigating the accident.
A defence ministry spokesman confirmed that a report was presented to committee leaders on Tuesday, and said it would be discussed in greater detail with members on Wednesday.
He declined to comment on the reported cause of the crash.

Watch how mental slaves with incurable complex issues will now come and start some crapy analysis because the aircraft belongs to a White race. Had this occurred to any Black nation (the race to which they belong) you will see them cursing the hell out of themselves. They are Blacks but always forming whiter than the White. Foolish mental slaves.

Shut up, he said the truth. I am sure you are one of those he is referring to. Now let us hear your explanation of the sad event since it is a German military aircraft. #stopthementalslavery.

German operated helicopters are permitted to crash, only Nigerian owned choppers are not permitted.

I don't see any reason why helicopters should have autopilot in the first place. Autopilot is supposed to be for airliners that flies for longer hours and not choppers that their maximum flying hours cannot be more than one or two. I might be wrong though. Just my opinion
