Ionian Sea Cyclone crash

[ocelot]

Last year a Canadian helicopter faceplanted in the ocean (we don't seem to have had a thread about it) and this week the report is out, and it seems the flight control software is the chief cause. I am not_surprised but it looks like it's fairly glaring: manual control inputs without disconnecting the autopilot confuse it.

What's it doing now?

Pilots bad...procedures, training, screening, regulations, oversight and more automation.

Indeed.

Fixed that for you.
