The United States’ National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has concluded its investigation into the helicopter crash that claimed the lives of Herbert Wigwe, his wife, and their son last year.

According to the obtained final aviation investigation report, the NTSB determined that the probable cause of the crash was the pilot’s decision to continue flying under Visual Flight Rules into Instrument Meteorological Conditions.

This decision led to spatial disorientation and a subsequent loss of control by the pilot.

The NTSB also cited inadequate company oversight as a contributing factor.

The company, it said, failed to properly manage safety procedures, including ensuring that pilots were accurately completing and updating flight risk analyses, logging maintenance discrepancies, and verifying that the helicopter met Part 135 regulatory requirements before departure.
