Quoted from Fizz:I'm not a pilot, but in my industry, EVERYTHING has redundancy to avoid a single point of failure taking the system down.
It would seem to me that in a helicopter, the single most important element requiring redundancy would be the pilot.
Kobe was taking lessons from this guy. Kobe was the co-pilot.
Quoted from 3pinballs:Did they state somewhere that Kobe was indeed sitting up front as a co-pilot?
If so, wouldn't that take out the medical situation as he would have been able to help the pilot - unless he was new to flying.
I was told that there are 2 positions up front and almost certainly Kobe was in the co-pilot seat.
Quoted from Fizz:I'm usually pretty good at figuring out when people are joking around on the forum, but in this case, I'm not sure. Are you just messing with us or is this real?
I'm guessing if this were true it would have been highlighted in the news reports.
Not joking. One of our cigar members is a pilot and knows that craft. He said there are 2 controls there and because Kobe was taking lessons from that guy chances are he was in the c0 pilot seat. His opinion. Maybe the OP can weigh in....
