Pilot Reviews Audio of Fatal NBC LA Helicopter Crash

Veteran helicopter pilot and former news reporter Zoey Tur provided a preliminary assessment of the recent helicopter crash in Chatsworth that resulted in fatalities. Tur stated that audio from the incident suggested signs of engine failure shortly before the helicopter went down. Tur noted, "If you listen, you could hear the low rotor RPM annunciator horn going off. You could also hear the engine rev down. This was an engine failure, and slow response into entering an auto-rotation by PiC. No survivors." Tur is recognized for their contributions to Los Angeles television news, having covered significant events from the skies. The crash is currently under investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board, with the Federal Aviation Administration involved in examining regulatory and licensing matters. The cause of the crash has not yet been determined.
