Kobe Bryant Pilot Deliberately Broke Flight Rules
“Today the National Transport Safety Board released its preliminary report into the January 26 helicopter crash in Calabasas, California, that killed Kobe Bryant and eight others. For the first time, it revealed that moments before impact the pilot deliberately broke FAA regulations meant to prevent just such kinds of accidents.
As previously reported, in the minutes prior to the crash, pilot Ara Zobayan was flying just a few hundred feet over the floor of the San Fernando Valley, which lies at an elevation of 800 feet. An opaque layer of overcast clouds covered the area at an altitude of 1,900 feet. As Zobayan reached the southwestern edge of the valley and crossed into Calabasas, the ground below him climbed higher until he was zooming 150 mph over the road at scarcely more than 100 feet, with hillsides rising up on either side into the low clouds.
Technically, Zobayan was allowed by FAA regulations to fly this way. According to Visual Flight Rules, as long he could see at least half a mile and stayed out of the clouds, he’d remain legal. But it afforded him little margin for error. Evidently, he decided it would be safer or more comfortable to climb to a higher altitude where he would have better visibility and room for maneuver. At 9:45 a.m., according to the new NTSB report, Zobayan called air traffic control and told them that he was going to climb up above the cloud layers to an altitude of 4,000 feet, which would put him comfortably above the cloud tops at 2,400 feet.
Up there, he’d be well above the rugged terrain and be able to see for miles. The problem was that to get there, he’d have to climb through 500 vertical feet of white-out clouds. “Its absolutely deliberately breaking the VFR rules,” says Paul Cline, assistant professor of aviation at the City University of New York.
The reason flying up into a cloud layer is illegal is because there’s a high danger of exactly what happened: Without visual reference to the ground, a pilot becomes disoriented, loses track of which way is up, and augurs in to the ground.
Ironically, the new report also reveals that just nine months before the crash Zobayan had received proficiency training in “inadvertent entry into instrument meteorological conditions and unusual attitude recovery” — in other words, the exact things that killed him.”

Damn, all of this came down to human error. Sh!t is still surreal
.
thanks
espn article is detailed as well
NTSB: Kobe copter was 100 feet from clear skies
"If this helicopter had had TAWS, Mr. Bryant and the rest of the passengers would be alive today," said Robb, a lawyer who has written a textbook about helicopter-crash litigation.
Reading all of this sucks but like I said we can't change anything, hopefully changes willb e made that will save lives in the future

Willie Cauley-Stein wore these to honor Kobe and his daughter.
I feel bad for the pilots family members. His name is forever fukked and they’re gonna deal with that shyt for life and it’s not their faultDamn, all of this came down to human error. Sh!t is still surreal
The one thing that bothers me is other pilots coming out and saying well if it was me in that situation bla bla
Would have prob been the same ending . I remember when my nephew had a seizure my mom is a nurse and works in paeds and deals with situations like that all the time but she froze up and had no idea what to do.
even when trained isn’t always a guarantee for success
Man it fukking sucks not getting to see Gianna do her thing as a full grown player. She could’ve had just as big an impact if not more than:
