Bureau Blames Pilot for Crash of Osinbajo’s Chopper
The Accident Investigation Bureau has released the final report on the helicopter crash involving Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, which occurred at Kabba, Kogi State in February 2019, blaming the incident on a misjudgment of distance by the crew members, inappropriate landing techniques and non-adherence to the landing process.
He noted that the helicopter crew had initially sighted the football field before losing visual contact with the ground and the external surrounding. The bureau faulted the crew for inappropriate landing techniques and limited planning before the commencement of the flight. “The flight crew stated that they sighted the intended landing area as a result of the cloud of residual dust generated by the downwash of a police helicopter.
“The co-pilot began radio altitude callouts “35, 30, 25, 20 and 15”. At about 14:34h, the helicopter experienced a hard landing on the right main landing gear and rolled over onto its right side. All persons on board were evacuated uninjured.
