Ok, thanks for the clarification. My mistake!

There's a short audio clip of the crew declaring an emergency to KPMP tower. https://forums.liveatc.net/atcaviation-audio-clips/fire-rescue-helicopter-crash-in-florida-sends-2-to-hospital/msg76156/?PHPSESSID=14dki3fhe3tn7s7af9nv5p0nn7#msg76156 I'll transcribe it here: "Pompano Tower, BSO...

Just watched a news conference from the BSO department. They said the crew knew they had a fire and tried to extinguish it. Also they confirmed a pilot parametic died as well as one person in the apartment building that the helicopter crashed into.

There is a longer video that shows the 60 seconds leading up to the tail boom failure. It's streaming smoke and I believe flames are visible from the left engine the entire time. It would be amazing to me if that didn't trigger the FIRE light, but I am not a rotorhead.

Really curious on this one. I assume they were flying the approach with the autopilots on when something went wrong. I would assume an autopilot disconnect would have happened immediately but it sounds like they continued to fight things for a bit?

Made this video with the ATC lined up with the video I took on my phone. Missed the flames though.

Velocity173, I agree, that's what I think as well... a compressor stall. I found the click on LiveATC.net for Chicago Depature (the audio is from 2017-09-03 2330 clip) and here's my transcript: at exactly 23:51:09 Zulu the pilot said "Pan pan, pan pan, pan pan, Speedbird twenty-romeo-heavy"...

I was at one of the park district pools in Arlington Heights, IL this early evening which is fairly close to KORD (about a 20-30 minute drive by car). At roughly about 5:47pm or 5:48pm everybody heard 5-7 loud BANGS in rapid succession and everybody at the pool looked up. I looked up and saw...

MauleSkinner, that looks like the wrong accident. That gives me some accident from 1990. I think it usually takes a little longer before an accident appears in the NTSB database.

I just learned about this plane crash a few minutes ago. I have personally met Vlado Lenoch a handful of times over the past 2 decades and even got to help him push "Moonbeam McSwine" (another P-51D) out to the taxiway at the Lake In the Hills Airshow (3CK) nearly 20 years ago. Very sad to see...

I was at Airventure on Saturday and and saw a couple of emergency vehicles going down towards rwy 36. Pulled out my scanner and it stopped on 121.5 with the unmistakable warble of an ELT. Uh oh. Walked down and snapped this picture. Plane caught a crosswind gust and pilot lost control according...

Shot with Garmin Virb Elite. The metrics are captured in a separate datafile while recording. The Virb editor then allows you drop in overlay templates which you can edit and customize or you can drop in individual gauges creating your own template. Tons of gauges and templates out of the box...

I think you are too high and carrying too much airspeed. I fly 172 R and S models. Here is a landing I did just over a week ago with the complete circuit. https://youtu.be/0PWYD1f_400 Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Did a similar flight back in May, from 3CK to KHAO which is just a few miles south of KOXD. Picked up my sister and niece and gave them a tour around Miami (and flew over KOXD). Watch out for traffic into Midway along the lakefront of Chicago. For some reason I encountered a 737 lower than usual...

I have my APSEL but use my home built simulator all the time. I practice all kinds of stuff in it. I even get to use my tablet and practice using Garmin Pilot which has a built-in interface to X-Plane. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Yes that is about right. Looked like the ceiling was lower than that. But maybe not. The only nearby airparks were behind him. I would have guessed he was below 1000 AGL over densely populated area. My building is 8 stories tall and he was pretty close to it. Who knows. There was a winter storm...

Maybe. That's to the northwest. He would have had to fly a circle around Ohare. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

I work in Oakbrook, IL, which is a subburb of Chicago. It is not far from KORD and KMDW. Anyway as I was walking out of my building last night at 6pm, I heard a single engine airplane over ahead. It was dark and it was snowing. The airplane was clearly scud running to the northeast, maybe at 600...

That's rather vague. What exactly do you want to fly? There are certainly many very complex aircraft with advanced systems modelling available. Maybe do a Google search for your aircraft of choice to see what is available and find some reviews. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

Disagree. Carenado's 172II is spot on. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
