The death of a highly respected and experienced rescue pilot during a helicopter training exercise crash highlights concerning risk issues in a certain model, a coroner says. Roger Corbin, 57, was killed instantly when an AS350BA nosedived during a simulated hydraulics failure at Hobart Airport in November 2017. Corbin, who played a major part in setting up search and rescue operations in Tasmania, had more than 30 years and 14,200 hours of flying experience.
” McTaggart, however, noted it was not unusual for an experienced instructor like Corbin to proceed with the exercise in the level of crosswind on the day of the accident. It could not be determined what happened in the final seconds before the crash but McTaggart was confident Corbin did “everything possible” to regain control. Corbin’s widow Allana Corbin, an experienced pilot and the first woman to circumnavigate Australia solo by helicopter, said the inquest had hung over her family.
