Honestly why Oga Harbert come carry him wife and son begin go to watch Superbowl for Las Vegas


What was really so special about this Superbowl to stake his family on it

Ok he reached US
Why not take transport?

Why helicopter?
After what happened to Kobe Bryant and his daughter?


Honestly this na grade one manipulation
Nothing anyone will tell me

Seriously cooked manipulation by his enemies


That's why intensive prayer is very very important
Before any traveling one does


Pastor David ibiyoemie in one of his preaching I listened said he had cancelled international travel many times before

One trip Dem don load him logage inside aircraft
He had premonition not to travel
He said he wasn't going again

This death is really very painful

Now I heard it's the oldest surviving daughter that will manage his business interests

Very small girl
The last two a boy and girl are not up to 4 years

Very painful situation

You are the ignoramus. I said helicopters have auto pilots, you talked about a helicopter pilot having to constantly pilot the helicopter. I repeat what I always say on Nairaland, many of you have poor English comprehension.

You made an ignorant misleading g comment reproduced below and I called you out.



You are wrong on that and neither did you address the issue of well equipped helicopters having 1) dual engines, 2) advanced weather and 3) ground proximity radars 4 ) night vision capabilities or 5) that the helicopter he boarded is a run of the mill single engine helicopter that cost about $2m new at a time when we have helicopters that cost between $10 and $20m?

In fact to reinforce your ignorance as per your comment above, an airline pilot does not need to get to cruise altitude to switch on auto pilot. Once he takes off he can switch on autopilot, headings and cruise altitudes are all pre programmed In the flight computer and if the destination airport is suitable equipped the auto pilot can even land the plane itself. Again ignorance on display!!!

Well you're wrong. Commercial planes follow routes in the sky which are controlled by ATC. These routes have waypoints designated by ground radio beacons.

First, autopilot is engaged only when at cruising altitude and not when climbing, as the pilot has to ensure positive rate of climb and gear up, and basically all the AP does is trim the aircraft to balance against uneven airflow on control surfaces. The pilot has to dial in headings to waypoints as given by the air traffic controller as the plane flies on its flight path, using controls on the flight director.

For example, after take off, the pilot might be instructed by ATC to go to a certain compass heading to intersect a beacon, and also be assigned an altitude for that airspace to maintain separation from other aircraft.

As the pilot exits an airspace into another one, he's handed over to that area's ATC on a given frequency, and then given instructions on flight levels (eg climb and maintain FL350) and even new airspeed which the pilot will dial into the flight director.

So yes, flight plans are filed and programmed but the pilot has to periodically control the plane to headings, altitudes and airspeed as directed by ATC along the filed flight path while the autopilot maintains speed, altitude and trim in the cruising phase.

I agree and disagree with you. Whatever instructions given by ATC are programmed into the flight computer, for the auto pilot to execute…… yes the pilot takes instructions as said but he merely adjusts the flight parelameters on the computer. the pilot is not the one doing the flying.. am I right or am I wrong? ….Exactly!!!


The point here is that the pilot does not manually fly the plane, adding inputs as dictated by ATC does not amount to manually flying a plane, it is still the auto pilot flying the plane. Correct me if I am wrong but I am sure I am not.

Where I agree with you and my error is that the pilot is subject to instructions from ATC but he merely inputs that into the computer. So I was wrong in saying he relies solely on the prepared flight plan.

Autopilot can be engaged at anytime once you take off even during climb. I have witnessed this myself. Some can even land with autopilot.

No you're wrong.

The instructions from ATC are not static simply because of the flight plan. If some aircraft experienced delayed takeoff or there are diverted flights, the corridor might become dynamic meaning flight separation by altitude or speed may need to be adjusted to avoid congestion and accidents.

When ATC gives heading, FL, and speed, the pilot manually enters those parameters into the flight director which commands the flight computers to actuate control surfaces to comply. This is known as commanded input. The autopilot cannot autonomously perform uncommanded flight parameter adjustments when ATC gives instructions, else you won't even need ATC and waypoints to begin with.

Also, changes in weather can dictate changes in headings and altitude. Emergencies will also require redirects to nearest airport.

Most pilots also manually trim the aircraft during most phases of flight.

The autopilot mostly helps in stabilizing the aircraft especially during the cruising phase.

Some single engine light aircraft are completely handflown especially when on visual flight rules.

With due respect I have been on private jets in the cockpit during takeoff. I am right l, you are wrong. Like I said the only part where you were right and I erred was that I did not take I to account t instructions by ATC during the climb phase and even then all the pilot does is input new instructions into the flight computer.

Ps: I hope you are not mixing up a pilot manually flying a plane to keep his airmanship up to date with a plane being incapable of climbing on auto pilot. Many pilots fly manually to keep their skills up to date not because they have to or the auto pilot cannot perform all phases of flight post take off.

You have to depogramme your mindset from pastor’s manipulation. Big pastors have private jets and fly chopper for convenience and time.

No.

You may have had the privilege of being in the cockpit but i doubt that's enough experience to understand the nature of flying.

I can show you a complete video of my flights on DCS and MS Flight Simulator on Airbus 350 from cold and dark to final.

No matter what, once a flight exits one airspace into another, that ATC relays instructions based on other aircraft in that airspace, and the pilot may be asked to go higher or lower or maintain. This is determined by traffic and weather in that airspace. So the pilot has to affirm the instructions and input any new parameters into the FD. Simple.

The act of turning the dials on the FD to go higher, lower, faster, slower, or new heading is the human pilot commanding the aircraft...this isn't done by the AP. Thus, this invalidates your argument that the pilot sips coffee and does nothing while the AP flies.

I also mentioned how pilots manually trim the aircraft.

Your assumption of what the AP actually does is the reality that needs to be recalibrated.

I suggest you make use of google and ask the simple question “can autopilot be engaged during climb?”

Below is In reference to an A320:

“Autopilot can be engaged at 100 ft above ground or 5 seconds after takeoff, whichever is later.”

BTW while I acknowledge you have some knowledge as opposed to the ignoramus who I initially engaged which is why I have responded with respect, it is clear at least on this matter that I have gained more knowledge by watching from the cockpit in a real plane that you have gained from your flight simulators because on this you are 100% wrong. I acknowledged previously that you were right about ATC. Instructions but it is still the autopilot doing the flying unless a pilot deliberately wishes to fly manually to keep himself fresh.

If you carefully read what you pasted, you'll notice that the AP may assist in the lateral direction of the takeoff or landing manoeuvre by controlling the 3 degrees of freedom: pitch, roll and yaw. This is stabilization!

I've told you a million times that the AP controls stabilization. And how does it do that? By controlling the control surfaces (ailerons, rudders, elevators, slats, etc) to maintain balance against buffeting airflow.

Let me say it again: the AP assists by stabilizing the aircraft so that the pilot doesn't have to manually keep the plane in trim.

You still need the pilot to level off and command the FD to headings towards waypoints and FLs. Who rotates the stick (or yoke) when V1 is achieved to pitch up and climb? The pilot or AP?

Go watch any video of a commercial flight from beginning to end and see for yourself whether pilots enter headings and altitude and speed across the entire flight or whether they sip coffee and allow the AP to fly completely.

My friend I am not arguing with you anymore. I have told you I have witnessed this many times on a 7x, I have googled to confirm, I asked you to google to confirm. I am not one who argues when I am wrong, as you can see I acknowledged my slight error on ATC during climb. But it seems you might be one of those nairalanders who are not here to exchange knowledge and learn and re-educate themselves when they are wrong but just to argue for arguing sake because their egos cannot take them being wrong. If that is the case, if you have indeed googled and you are still here arguing, then good bye….this conversation has past it’s sell by date!

Considering the location and time of the crash, it's highly likely the Wigwes had planned to attend the Superbowl holding in Las Vegas.

Many people don't understand the difficulty in flying a helicopter compared to an airplane.

Once a plane generates enough lift, it takes off. All the pilot needs is to get the aircraft to cruising altitude and after that he can sip a coffee or go use the toilet. The plane will fly itself until its time to land.

Helicopter pilots on the other hand need to actively control the aircraft from take off to landing.


In simple terms, they need to control the helicopter up and down, and left and right while the helicopter is moving forward.

Don't forget you're simultaneously controlling the X axis and Y axis which tilts the nose and tail up or down like a seesaw.

And this doesn't include landing the helicopter which is another challenge by itself.

There are so many variables that can stall the helicopter causing it crash.

A perfectly good helicopter can crash because it's traveling over a pocket of thin air and can't generate enough lift. If there's engine or rotor trouble, just start praying to God.

In sum, if you have alternative means of transportation use it. Only travel by chopper if it's absolutely necessary you do so.
