Sun glare, rust, and THC—bad combination for a pilot.
Every pilot has to respect the importance of yaw discipline.
If only Andrews had gone for a refresher flight.
This wasn’t a mechanical failure, it was human factors.
A routine flight turns deadly with one uncorrected slip.
It’s frustrating how simple the cause was, but it cost everything.
The Cavalon could’ve been back on the ground safely—if.
I’ve seen how fast a gyroplane can flip when yaw control’s ignored.
Andrews’ story is a reminder that small mistakes aren’t minor.
A tragic reminder of how human decisions outweigh machine failure.
