AO-1994-023
On 29 October 1994 at about 1000 hours, Aerospatiale AS 350B ZK-HWV collided with a valley side during a local scenic flight, killing all seven occupants. While no cause was established positively, it is probable the aircraft was flown into cloud inadvertently. A safety issue which prompted a safety recommendation to the Civil Aviation Authority was the absence of standards to guide pilots in setting height margins beneath cloud.
