Kobe died in a plane crash. What defects in the helicopter killed Kobe?

The main cause of Kobe Bryant's death this time was that the pilot encountered foggy weather in low visibility, turned left and turned around, lowered the altitude of the plane, and crashed into the mountain without clear sight.

Kobe Bryant was killed in a Sikorsky S-76B helicopter, which can be regarded as one of the helicopters? Cadillac? . Although this plane is 28 years old? Machine age? However, because it is well maintained, it is also safe as a whole. But helicopters usually have them? Common diseases? Only when the visibility is high enough can the helicopter hover. Even if the plane can fly automatically, it needs to keep the lowest speed and fly according to the set route.

Although the accident rate of helicopters is not much different from that of ordinary passenger planes, the self-sustaining ability of helicopters is still relatively poor compared with that of passenger planes. Once the helicopter rolls or stalls during the flight, the pilot can neither take remedial measures nor land by gliding, which is prone to crash.

Judging from the flight trajectory of the helicopter before Kobe's death, the weather on the day of helicopter take-off was not very good. The fog caused the helicopter to lose its direction. The pilot turned to the surrounding tower for help, but was told that there were other planes flying nearby and the helicopter had to fly at low altitude. During the low-altitude flight, the helicopter encountered heavy fog. To avoid entering the fog, the pilot turned left 180 degrees. Because the helicopter rolled over, the altitude was further reduced, and the speed suddenly increased. The dense fog blocked the pilot's sight, which led to his failure to find the mountain nearby in time and to take further remedial measures when he found it, which led to the tragedy.
