NTSB: Spatial Disorientation Cause of AW139 Crash
The NTSB concluded that spatial disorientation was the cause of the 2019 night AW139 crash in the Bahamas.

According to the NTSB, the probable cause of the July 2019 fatal Leonardo AW139 accident in the Bahamas was nighttime spatial disorientation, with lack of night flying experience and inadequate crew resource management as contributory factors. The accident killed the two-person crew and all five passengers, including American coal billionaire and helicopter owner Chris Cline.
