## Resource

A tragic helicopter crash in Westmeath two years ago claimed the lives of instructor Antonin Kabelka and student Niall Cosby during a routine autorotation training exercise. Despite no mechanical faults, the Bell 505 lost control mid-descent, yawing sharply before crashing into a field and a piggery. Both men—experienced and eager to master the craft—perished in the impact. Investigators warn that repeated autorotations can lead to fatigue and loss of focus, urging flight centers to tighten safety protocols and supervision.
