Numerous training failures in the pilot's history. Got hired with 6,000+ helo hours and only 950 hrs fixed wing.
From the report - Found within his personal effects at the accident site was a handwritten note addressed to the
pilot. It advised he should not be “forced to fly through the clouds by any person in the back”
Loss of control in night (no moon) VMC. Primary MFD failure. Cockpit camera showed it hadn't worked on the previous four flights.
A review of the pilot’s certification history before he was employed by Hawaii Life Flight
revealed that he had six Notice of Disapproval entries in his Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) records. Of those six notices, three were in rotorcraft and three were in fixed-wing
aircraft, each one the culmination of multiple unsatisfactory training events. The records
detailed consistent deficiencies in the use of navigational systems, instruments, and
multiengine aircraft maneuvering.
A review of the pilot’s training record at Hawaii Life Flight indicated that during initial Advanced
Aviation Training Devices (AATD) training, which consisted of 6 training sessions during

December 2019, he had five unsatisfactory ratings. Of those, two were on the last training
event. The pilot was given two additional training sessions in January 2020 and all training
areas indicated “satisfactory.”
The pilot had been employed by Hawaii Life Flight for three years and had six mandatory
checking events. He failed three checkrides on the first attempt. Training records indicated
that following each unsatisfactory training event, the accident pilot was given additional
training, and subsequently reevaluated. The second evaluations were marked as “satisfactory.”
