Dang that’s sad. Condolences to family and friends of this family. 
 

8:50pm is a little late to be buzzing around rural areas. The moon was bright last night but still.

Does the CADORS query still exist? This accident doesn't come up on the TC site.

it does, but its limited at best. its not the cadors of the past. i think companies can petition the publishing of their oopsies now.

 

this is the reg details of his aircraft. RIP and hope the other kids get the support they need

Thanks, very little information. The reason I asked is that I read somewhere that this was a local night flight.

Yes, very sad and unfortunate......

Which in itself shouldn't be a problem.  Sadly, it reminds me of this one:  https://www.sudbury.com/around-the-north/report-on-fatal-helicopter-crash-near-timmins-released-1654365

Dark and wintry conditions are not a place to be flying a vfr helicopter.
