Close to the ground
On its route west, the Sikorsky S76-B traveled above the freeway at about 160 mph. Near Mureau Road, the helicopter appears to have come within a few hundred feet of striking a series of hills, a Times analysis of publicly avalaible flight data shows. How close is not precisely clear without more detailed data.
A sudden ascent
For reasons that aren't fully known, the pilot then climbed rapidly — roughly 875 feet in less than one minute — and slowed the helicopter to about 125 mph. It is unclear why he made this decision, but federal investigators say that at one point during the final minutes of the flight he said he was ascending to avoid a layer of clouds.
An abrupt turn
The helicopter then diverged from its path by turning left, and began a rapid descent over Las Virgenes Road. It appears the pilot had lost contact with air traffic control by this point, according to radio recordings reviewed by The Times.
The crash
The 11,000-pound helicopter, now traveling at about 175 mph, crashed into a hillside east of a local water district facility, scattering wreckage over an area of about 600 feet.
