The Transportation Safety Board says a helicopter pilot killed in a crash in British Columbia almost two years ago was sick in the days leading up to the accident and reported “shivering uncontrollably” before the aircraft went down.
The board’s report on the November 2022 crash says the helicopter was on a surveying flight near Kitsault, B.C., in the province’s northwest when the pilot reported being “unwell” about an hour and a half after takeoff.
