The Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) reports that a fatal helicopter accident in British Columbia involved pilot distraction and safety-check failures during a ground test. According to the investigation, the pilot was distracted by his cellphone while the helicopter was on the ground, and he missed important steps on a safety checklist. The incident resulted in the death of a staff member who was struck by the helicopter’s tail rotor. The TSB findings describe how the pilot’s attention was divided during the test and how that distraction contributed to the pilot not completing key checklist procedures. The report focuses on safety factors, including adherence to checklists and maintaining focus during operational activities. The TSB’s conclusions are based on its investigation into the circumstances surrounding the accident, including what the pilot did and did not do during the ground test.
