I have been vindicated once more when I said the Helicopter ran out of fuel from the onset and even opened a thread explaining my position. P.S For those arguing the Helicopter couldn't have ran out of fuel I will breakdown why the helicoot ran out of fuel so you can learn . First an foremost the Bell 206 cannot dump fuel because it doesn't have the ability to ...not every aircraft can dump fuel , even your popular Boeing 737 has the ability to dump fuel . Most civilian helicopters don't have that ability .. To know why he ran out of fuel you will first have to know a little about the helicopter he was flying . The helicopter in question is a small helicopter called a bell 206 and the model he was flying was the single rotor, single turbine version and this version has a Maximum range of just 693 kms with full tank and carry 3 average sized passengers and the distance from Portharcourt to Lagos using his flight plan was about 623 Km so you see he had a very small margin of error for his fuel consumption variables ..any small adjustments to to his power demands during the flights would have left his fuel tanks stranded .. He should never have flown the Bell 206 beyond 500km before his next refuel and even the Helicopter manufacturers suggest such ...From record it suggest he has been getting away with that margin for a while and go used to risking it ... If he had just even one passenger less he would have made it to his destination which was just about 2 minutes away from where he crashed . 42 Likes 3 Shares |

ikorodureporta: Don't mind these idiots. The black box was removed from the crash site by the operators. This is not the first time that has happened. The pilot I suspect must have dumped his fuel in anticipation of a crash in an urban area. No pilot will fly with inadequate fuel and if it so happens to be so, would have made an emergency landing in an open area. Thirdly, the AIB coming out with this statement of the pilot not having a valid liscence is following the earlier NCAA's very unprofessional utterance long before AIB came out with their prelimunary report, that the helicopter in question was not approved for flight operations by them. Then how come an aircraft that was not approved for operations was being operated within Nigerian airspace by an unqualified Pilot? These NCAA idiots don't know they are even indicting themselves for failing to do their job. This is not the first time the useless NCAA has been in the eye of the storm. This same NCAA came out to tell us that the black box for Bellview Airliner that mysteriously crashed somewhere around Ibadan airspace in 2005 was stolen from their office in Lagos. I have met and interacted with several of these NCAA badged agents and I can tell you 90% of them have no businesss working in aviation talk more of being regulators. As for AIB, does ones do not have a single clue. My opinion of the timeline of events is as follows:. 1. Pilot notices a major fault 2. Pilot contacts Ikeja ATC notifying them of an emergency 3. Pilot dumps fuel in anticipation of a forced landing in an urban area 4. Pilot must have lost engine power or rudder control or both 5. Chopper can't be controlled by pilot and goes into a spin (highlighting loss od rudder control) 6. Chopper crashes 7. Onlookers swarm the site 8. Police do nothing to secure the crash site. 9. Airline representatives visit site and ecuavate black box 10. AIB cones in and as clueless as they are come out with their useless conclusion P S.

Tell us the truths OGA I don't believe you, the numbers of people driving without licenses in Naij are many, getting license from authority doesn't guarantee ones safety because most of the license are giving without proper assessment. If you know you know. 4 Likes |
