[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know that some people on here really want to blame the female pilot, but I ask you to ask yourselves if you were training someone and they were taking risks you weren’t comfortable with, isn’t it your responsibility to get them back into the realm of safety?  And if the ATC is trying to make both pilots aware of a risk they are encountering, and you are in charge of answering, isn’t it your job to make sure you and the other pilot are aware of the risk the ATC is alerting you to before you answer in the affirmative and take responsibility for that risk?

Not trying to throw all the blame at the trainer, just think there was more than one failure here.  I feel sorry for everyone involved in this situation.

And again, just to echo what other folks are saying, if this training was really just the return trip of the helo necessitated by some initial (and perhaps not really necessary) VIP trip, we deserve to know that, too. [/quote]
No time to do that when 4 seconds later the PIC ignites a commercial passenger jet. [/quote]

Except that dude pilot answered affirmatively twice he saw the other aircraft and once was significantly before impact. And he agreed that they would follow behind. I don’t think you’d then allow pilot to move even closer forward to the danger (unless you don’t see it yourself, which would also then be your error) without being sure the pilot actually saw it. There was plenty of time after the first ATC warning. [/quote]
