The February crash between two Utah National Guard Black Hawk helicopters caused millions in damage to the aircraft and was the result of pilot error, an investigation conducted by members of the South Carolina National Guard concluded.
A Black Hawk helicopter crashed near a ski trail at Snowbird Resort Tuesday, Feb. 22, 2022.of Snowbird ski resort during a training exercise Feb. 22.
The Utah National Guard chooses landing zones based on factors like an area’s proximity to populated areas — such as people, structures or livestock — the length of a landing area, slope angles, obstacles and wind. Thomas said the Utah National Guard tries to “match the training area with the types of state and federal missions we support.”
Usually, the Utah National Guard would reach out to the Forest Service in cases like these, in coordination with any nearby organizations like Snowbird. There are currently no future operations planned for the Mineral Basin landing area. The Utah National Guard is also reevaluating all of its helicopter landing zones, or “HLZs,” to “determine their suitability for training operations,” Thomas said. The Forest Service was not involved in the crash investigation.
The pilot in command of that helicopter then relied on flight instruments to determine his position and land.
