Kenny Keller argues that pilot knowledge and poor decisions cause many fatal helicopter crashes. He's building a weather-decision tool and urges pilots to avoid flying when visibility is bad or local search and rescue teams are grounded.
So let's start a trend, a trend that will reduce helicopter accidents in the helicopter industry, because you know what? It boils down to lack of knowledge and bad decisions by pilots. And we're gonna do a special event today. It's gonna be live later today. And I just stopped at one of my favorite stores, picked something up that we're gonna reveal later. And the girl at the counter said, what do they use these for? And when I told her my description, and this is something we use as a tool in making weather decisions. And I got it back from my EMS days, and I don't remember who implemented it, but it boils down to the essence of why helicopters crash and why people need to have the guts to say no. People keep asking me about the, you know, recent tragic accident, and I ain't saying a whole lot, but I will say when the weather's crap, look outside and it's crappy, probably shouldn't be going. And when the local law enforcement and search and rescue aren't going, probably had not to be in the air. I will say that much. So later today, cool event. Gonna bring out something that I want to start a craze, man. I want to start it to help curb this epidemic of fatal helicopter crashes. So in the event today, we're going to talk about that. We're going to talk about knowledge and testing. Got a great question from a young man just this morning about getting ready to go take his test. And he's like, I'm going to a difficult examiner. What tips do you have? Well, it's all about knowledge, and I'm going to cover that today in our live event. So stay tuned and we'll see you later on today. Peace out.
