Helicopter is a complex machine and requires more vigilance to fly safely. In valley flying in rough mountainous areas, the weather, essentially, visibility is of great importance. For regularly flown such routes, SOPs are set with cloud base, visibility etc with standard weather reports/forecasts transmitted, periodically. However, in this case, the pilots must have been quite experienced. I doubt if the cause of the crash was due to pilot factor. In my opinion the aircraft was flying low in the valley when a catastrophic material failure occurred, like in rotor failure. That is when the pilot can neither land safely nor he is able to transmit due to unusual/asymmetric forces faced. So, most likely, the fatal crash could have been due to material failure and not pilot error.

Incompetence, responsibility. Are we in a position to criticize when we don’t know anything about Iran? The President’s aircrew are one of the most qualified, trained, experienced and periodically tested and standardized. In this accident, I would place ‘pilot error’ and ‘weather’ , at the bottom of the probable causes of crash. Being a four decades old helicopter, lack of spare parts, low flight over rough mountainous terrain/valley, the most logical conclusion may be ‘catastrophic failure, followed by immediate ground impact’ where pilot hardly had time to land safely. It would be foolish and unnecessary to assassinate the president in such an area, when it could be done conveniently in Tehran.

@@StephenMazzitelli No, y'all are the first two to say something. Not the first two to notice it.

A transponder is for tracking location, speed, vector, etc of an aircraft. If a pilot does not want to be tracked, they could turn it off. Since they would still be susceptible to radar tracking, the pilot would fly low, not far from the ground. What likely made it crash was the pilot flying too close to the ground, which can easily happen in mountainous terrain. Especially in clouds and fog. The transponder being turned off had nothing to do with the crash. It couldn't have. The former Iranian president became a crispy critter due to the pilot's poor flying decisions. Someone should educate the press. 🙄

You are delusional. You probably think that the Palestinians deserve what the blood thirsty Ben is doing to them. You are a radical Christian.

This helicopter was 40 years old. It was for visual flight use and shouldn’t be flying in fog when the visibility was low to nonexistent. The helicopter is a relic and the parts to maintain it may not exist anymore. 40 years old helicopter shouldn’t have been carrying important people!!!

One of the nasty hazards of flight in cool weather is the risk of being trapped in a situation where the only choices involve penetrating clouds. Moderately risky in a fixed wing aircraft, spectacularly risky in a helicopter. Nothing even surprising about it.

Never knew that a plane looked like a helicopter 🤣🤣🤣🤣

A transponder only identifies airborne aircraft to air traffic control. Aircraft at low altitude in mountainous terrain, far from air traffic control, would not be "visible" on ATC radar with or without a transponder. A transponder does not aid in finding downed aircraft. It is not the same as an ELT - Emergency Locator Transmitter, which could aid in finding a downed aircraft. Reporting a "key device missing or turned off" is clickbait. It's irrelevant.

Agreed! A PERFECT opportunity to blame someone else, ANYONE else!

What I found interesting was the search party were laughing and jeering when they came across the crash site.

The journalist should try driving his car at 100 miles an hour down a deserted mountain road with steep drop offs, no barriers in very heavy fog. Then he will understand why this happened.

Khomeini's grandson was his main rival, and he was in charge of buying parts for these archaic government helicopters and military equipment. He inherited this job from his father who was known to be the main Iranian agent in the Iran Contra.

"A helicopter is a million parts revolving around an oil leak waiting for metal fatigue to set in." 1. Bell 212s are made in Canada by Textron, they are not made in the U.S. since the 90s. 2. Aircraft carrying govt. officials often turn off transponders and just request a "block" of airspace. 3. The main suspects would have to be the mechanic and the pilot. 4. The helicopter sounds like it was over weight limits. 5. In weather it is advised to always stay well above any terrain.

Transponders have no effect on the flying ability of helicopters or airplanes. That's like saying if you turned off the radio in your car that it somehow caused you to crash.

All a transponder in mode C will do is let the ground controllers know your position and altitude, and that system is line of sight. Below a mountain top you are not going to be able to send a signal to a ground station unless it is very close. If the Bell 212 had a functioning altimeter and a paper map in it, the pilot only had to keep the altimeter reading higher than the highest point along the route and fly a compass heading for a given amount of time based on airspeed. A simple handheld GPS would have been handy. Maybe the pilots took one for the team and decided to change history for their countrymen and eliminate the butcher of Tehran. MH370 anybody?

My question is, why didn’t Iran purchase new Russian made helicopters, which are properly equipped with modern technology and parts would have readily available to guarantee proper maintenance?

So basically everything we have seen from the place of the accident is just clips from the old accident.

To use transponder, a clear wireless contact with ground station is required. In this case, the helicopter flying low in mountainous area, in the valley will not be able to communicate with ground based transponder stations. Hence, their ground position may not be available with ground based units. So, here the Transponder is a non issue.
