•- no Terrain Awareness Warning System (TAWS).
•- impact point was 1085ft Above Mean Sea Level (AMSL).
•- pilot lost comms w/ ATC at 2300ft AMSL (AMSL not specified).

2. NTSB BRIEF:
Key info from brief. I’ll also provide questions/analysis in response.
PILOT
as of July 2019, the pilot had:
•- 8200hrs total (so more hours at time/date of crash)
•- 1250hrs on type (S-76).
A very experienced pilot. I flew 2500hrs over a 20yr career.

1. Track of #KobeBryant’s S-76B as it heads North West. Altitude slowly climbs to above 1000ft. Speed reduces to ~45kts as S-76 slows down and orbits (this is a standard manoeuvre if you’re approaching bad weather). Orbit looks in vicinity of Burbank.
2. Options on bad weather — slow down, go down, and, if needed land on. Or IMC abort. Transfer to instruments, full power, climb to altitude (above Safety Altitude - highest point of high ground in the area), talk to ATC and look for a cloud break.
3. A few points on weather minima for Visual Flight Rules (VFR).
VFR — 3 miles visibility, 500ft vertically clear of cloud and 1 mile horizontally.
SVFR — Under Special VFR, 1 mile visibility, and clear of cloud in sight of surface.
