Well, I have told you that most rig operators demand this specification from their contracting aviation company because of the obvious hazard risk and load specification requirements in landing on their platforms Lies again. No oil company/rig operator will demand a specification that isn't built-in an aircraft. You said you worked as an aircraft engineer that's why I responded to you initially but its obvious you're just spinning tales. If indeed you worked anywhere near a Helicopter you'd know the process of jettisioning fuel involves a human physically opening the fuel valve which cannot be done inflight. So kindly stop with your fables. 3 Likes |

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?

Reference:
And for those speaking about fuel dumping, there are a few things to be understood.
Helicopters are relatively low flying aircraft optimised for operations in terrain that does not afford space or ground conditions fixed wing aircraft require to take off and land safely. Meaning small airfields, rugged mountainous or soft-swampy land or urban area ocated helipads.
When fuel is dumped is comes out of the aircraft through a pitot under pump pressure as a fine mist observed on ground as a contrail if two conditions are fulfilled. One, the aircraft is moving FAST enough to aerosol the fuel and two, the aircraft is flying HIGH enough for atmospheric pressure to suspend the aerosol long enough for it to be dispersed before gravity takes over (the reason why clouds are up there and not down at our feet). A helicopter traditionally does not do both relatively well.
Thirdly and most importantly as in this case, there are strict regulations as to where an aircraft CAN DUMP FUEL. In most countries it is strictly forbidden over populated areas for obvious reasons so an aircraft coming into Lagos (a sprawling metropolis) will have to fly out or fly by to the Atlantic to do that, further complicating any emergency.
The vast majority of helicopters operating around the world do so in predominantly urban settings so making fuel dumping a staple is just irrelevant. That is why today it is only military helicopters that do so and only for specific operational reasons in their designated military set ups.
Hypothetically speaking, if that Bell chopper had dumped fuel flying at such a low altitude and slow speed coming into MMA, several fires will have erupted along the trail perhaspos causing a lot more devastation. Hypothetically speaking as well, if the pilot had noticed any malfunction he should have just found the nearest spot to land immediately. A land no matter where is always better than a crash.
For any pilots reading this. Put your aircraft down immediately. Life is better than a bad name or earning a bad rap. it The company site stated clearly that they provide airlifting operations for offshore oil rigs. Dumping fuel over the sea is permitted and the scenario you painted of helicopters not being capable of dispersing the fuel in a fine mist is inconsequential when it is done over the ocean. Also, given that the flight chose a circumnavigated coastal route from PH, the pilot must have dumped his fuel prior to reaching Lagos mainland from where he hoped to run on vapor to the airport which would have been less than 5mins. |

They lack even the basic level of critical thinking.
Hunger and survival mode has destroyed most of their brain cells otherwise how can someone read this poorly headlined article and make such stupid comments like the pilot had no license and he flew a plane without fuel!
So people cannot even tell that the agency is focused on shifting blame to the Operator?
Where they are headed is to drop a big fine on them or close them so that the MD will come and drop something for the boys.

If my driver licence expires last month and I am driving today, it does not mean I don't know how to drive.
There are other primary cause of the accident which should be investigated and mitigated to prevent similar occurrence.
This does not however justify why a pilot would not possess a valid licence though Validity in aviation is not about knowing how to fly After 3 months or 6 months pilots go to renew license this achieved based on how emergency procedures test is passed So what it means is the pilot is rusty on helicopter emergency in his case 'autorotation' This is the main aim for helicopter pilots license renewal |

I am instinctively convinced that your take on the event timeline and perception of the regulatory bodies is correct as well as truthful. Please what's your opinion on this piece of puzzle, what's the essence of getting into a contraption( plane or heli ), whether as driver or rider, wherein you are 100% certain that in the event of a crash, you can't parachute out/eject, and that your chances of survival is almost zero? Something must kill a man but is it really worth the gamble with this flying thing.There has been huge advances in technology lately, what is the big deal in infusing an ejection/parachuting mechanism in airplanes and helix, just like in fighter jets. |
