A terrible tragedy. I’m a Aircraft Tech but I have little Helicopter experience but the company I work with operates two Eurocopters one which is a AS350. I spoke with one of our Helicopter pilots who mentioned the Emergency fuel shutoff lever. This lever is pulled upwards and cuts off fuel supply. It requires only one action to active which is beyond me.
Usually devices like this have a detent or something additional to require activation. The mentioned that this is not the first time this caused an accident. The lever is located between the pilot seats and can be easily inadvertently activated. Being at such a low level there was no time to relight or restart engine.
The other issue he mentioned was the possibility of the floats installed incorrectly causing them to inflate on the inner part of the skid and not outward spreading the weight of the Helicopter out. This may be why the Helicopter rolled over. If it remained upright they may have survived.
I really don’t have any information on the harness. As with all the accidents there is always many things to lead up to it. It always my hope that if it’s due to any human factor that it is shared among us professionals to make sure it never occurs again.
That was a concern of mine as well. Thank you
Thanks so much for information . I’m leaning on putting most of $ towards a pair of monitors and purchase a pc that has room for expansion. Thank for your expertise
Thank you all for your help.

Hello All,
I considering building a P.C for Photo Editing. I currently have a Nikon D810. I was wondering if anyone has done this and can advise me on: processor, ram and graphics requirements? Thanks in advance
Beautiful! Used a tripod and your 55-200mm lens?
