- The Federal Aviation Administration faulted the pilot of the helicopter that crashed in January killing basketball great Kobe Bryant and eight others for violating flight rules in a 2015 incident.
Zobayan was expecting clearance through the airspace but air traffic control declined to approve the request because of reduced visibility due to weather, according to enforcement records released by the FAA under the Freedom of Information Act late Friday. “Proper coordination should have included an earlier initiation of communication to allow time for receiving a clearance,” the FAA report added.The FAA report said Zobayan was counseled and added he “admitted his error, took responsibility for his action, and was willing to take any other necessary steps toward compliance.” The FAA report added he “was cooperative and receptive to the counseling.”
The interim report said examination of both rotor assemblies found damage “consistent with powered rotation at the time of impact.”
