Murdoch Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 ... you beat me to it. The pilot of the 407 must be partially blind, the plane is approaching from the drivers side. ... PS: OK, I apologize to the fixed wing guy, after looking at it for a second time I realized that the fixed wing guy never even saw the helicopter, his view was obstructed by the wing. If you don't believe me go and sit in a cessna 206, 172 etc and see what you can see. ... You beat me to it with the view/wing obstruction. Another factor (a factor-not an excuse) might be the sun. Judging by the shadow of the Bell, the Cessna was approaching from the direction of the sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
