What went wrong with the skiboat tow?

Post by Guest »

I'm trying to understand the ski boat towing accident. Was this just a case of dynamic rollover due to tying the tow rope to only a single skid? Why couldn't the pilot correct?

There's at least two other forums where this has been discussed to some length.

Click here for the PPRuNe thread.

And here for the Vertical Reference thread.

Both discuss the helicopter towing boat accident. I'm not trying to close the discussion here, just making other's observations available as well.
