    I worked with Denver when he was CO of the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center. He was one of the best leaders I ever saw and this video shows he's still a leader. I have a command coin he slapped in my hand 20 years ago emblazoned with the words "That Others May Live." He clearly has made that slogan his life's work. Wonderful seeing him again and I hope he's enjoying a well-earned retirement. Thanks for sharing Colonel, and thank you for a lifetime of service!

    I think it is important to point out the chain of events that lead to this incident. He took off after he stated the weather was bad, His dispatch asked him to try another LZ after he aborted. And when he aborted the 2nd time he got suckered into landing again because the Ambulance arrived. The biggest mistake that he made after going IIMC is that he tried to fly VMC. He made control inputs referencing what he thought was a light on the ground. This is the worse thing a pilot could do, we should never try to regain visual with the ground, once you go IIMC you should be committed and all of you concentration should be flying the aircraft. He sure did a remarkable job of recovering from the gyrations. I don't think too many pilots could have regained control after all the unusual attitudes this guy encountered... Great Job, thank you so much for sharing.

    There I Was, Been There Done That. I have recently retired with nearly 20,000hrs of helicopter flight time. I believe that pilots that fly for long periods of time will find themselves in similar situations. I, like Cpt Pletcher, have found myself in this situation several times. I won't go into them as this example is clear enough. I have spent many hours thinking about what has happened and what should I have done. So this I say to you, young pilot, As he mentioned he knew that it was clear to the west. 1. No before take-off check. Always do before take-off check 2. On Take-Off. Commit to an ITO 3. Climb straight out to a selected altitude. Then turn to the clear air. I could go on forever. And would like to if anything I say would save a life. But it would take volumes to cover all the mistakes I have made, and survived. One thing I would add, though, is to never trust an attitude indicator. Use it only as a secondary indicator. Set your heading bug and use that as your primary roll indicator using your attitude indicator as secondary. During VFR conditions practice by covering you ASI. Fully and partially.

    I know it is easy to second guess, but if the outcome of a flight is ever in doubt just turn it down. Why waste the first responders time by "trying it". Just turn it down from the get go. Learned this from experience. Glad they made it. Especially being in the AS350 IMC.

    Denver's story is oh so reinforcing. It reminds me that no matter how much experience you have, you can't change biological limitations. Mental tracking is a time-linear process. If you get off the track as you enter IMC, you may not get it back. Had it not been for muscle-memory "push, power, rudder, roll, climb", I would have pulled the wings off of my airplane trying to get back on the mental track in IMC. Thanks for sharing Denver!

  • @grtbluyonder88

    Interesting on many levels. Not really discussed was the old saw "trust your instruments". It's not clear whether the attitude indicator was wrong or he just thought it was. Also ignoring the altimeter seems to be another failure, one that if not ignored would likely have shown that the light was not a lamp post. Aside from the IMC issues and the desire to help the patient, the old and deadly 'ignore your instruments' could have been the last and fatal blow in this incident. In recent years pilot decision making has been emphasized in flight training. It clearly is just as important as the skills portion. Great of this guy to share.

    Excellent video. A good contribution to aviation safety. Surprising that an EMS heli, even one that apparently was certified only for VFR, didn't have a standby attitude indicator. I know it's not required by reg, but still. As to HEMS in general, there may just be too much irreducible pressure on pilots to take missions to justify the financial costs and crew lives lost compared to the incremental lives saved. On the ground, many EMS services have stopped running hot (lights & sirens) for the same reason: the time saved doesn't change patient outcomes enough to justify the injuries and deaths from traffic accidents.

  • @notsoancientpelican

    Here we have a BIG misconception that is THE BIGGEST CAUSE of these “accidents.” Listen: In professional flying it’s ALL ABOUT “limit(ing)...flying to the conditions (you) choose.” Really. In other words, we are *paying you* to judge conditions and when THEY AREN’T RIGHT, to NOT GO FLYING. Civilian flying is not a *military mission,* you DON’T HAVE TO GO. TURN IT DOWN.

  • @MikeKobb
    @MikeKobb3 жыл бұрын

    Fair point, and I agree with it. But I think, as the video points out, there are a lot of pressures on pilots in particular fields, like these medical flights, and that makes it very difficult to do neutral, analytical decision-making. Having something like the risk-assessment tools that they discussed here can help make that decision in a more structured fashion. And it’s probably not a bad idea for the really high-pressure situations like medical flights to have a dispatch group making the call. So, regarding my comment about Denver, I would amend it: “I hope he’s still flying for fun and recreation, where he wouldn’t feel the same pressures as he did when flying medical patients.” With that said, it’s also important to note that plenty of pilots flying for their own personal or business purposes have come to grief by making decisions either under pressure from others (who perhaps don’t understand the risks), or under self-imposed pressures (“I have to get home for my kid’s soccer game,” or “I have to get to this customer meeting.”) So all pilots can learn lessons from this flight. Pressure can be there, and having a framework to help make go/no-go decisions dispassionately (a risk-assessment tool, or perhaps a trusted person to discuss a flight with) is a good strategy.
