[QUOTE="ViperRed91GT, post: 16358150, member: 48872"] Natural tendency is to slow down when coming up on weather like that. My guess is that most of the climb was due to slowing down, and then the lower airspeed caused the aircraft to fall at too low of a power setting. Once in the turn, potential spatial disorientation and/or fixation and didn’t realize he was in a descent. An S76 isn’t a powerhouse, but I guarantee it had enough power to stop the descent, even with the passenger load. However, the pilot didn’t apply it, and my guess is he never knew there was an issue. Edit: Qualifications - 2500+ hours military helicopter Commercial instrument helicopter Instrument fixed wing Military instructor pilot/instrument examiner Helicopter air ambulance pilot [/QUOTE]
