CADORS Report: 2017P1375

I've also seen said video. It's quite high quality too which is good.

Having watched it with many other pilots out here, the opinion seems to be divided pretty evenly between LTE and Mechanical Failure. Personally, I side with the LTE camp.

Why didn't he pickle the bucket, that should have happened immediately whether it was LTE or Mechanical.

Oddly enough, I think the weight of the bucket may have contributed to him staying upright.

He did pickle it.  I saw it lifted out of the water with a 61 and the bucket was still snagged on the rear left spring.

Looks like LTE to me..appears to be lifting 90' to the wind as well. Glad no one was hurt

Looks like LTE, look forward to hearing the full investigation.
