I love the drama...crash landing!! it was a very controlled landing, it just so happened that there was a problem with the nose gear. CRASH landing makes is seem like somehow this event was haphazard and out of control and unexpected. The pilot did everything right and landed the plane without major incident. ohhhh crash landing!! Sell those headlines!!
In a situation such as this, what would have happened is that the pilot would have had an IFR (Instrument) flight plan on file, as ALL flights within Bahamas airspace after sunset must be on an IFR flight plan...BUT, he would not activate that until he got up into the air and started to talk to air traffic control. They most likely took off, started to have troubles immediately, never got a chance to activate the flight plan and all that goes with that, tracking, etc before the flight was lost. ATC won't know to start search unless that flight plan is active and the flight misses check ins or arrival times. If they never activated the flight plan in the first place, all that goes out the window. Sounds like they had problems immediately after takeoff and the pilot was more involved with saving the aircraft, or TRYING to save the aircraft, than talking to someone on the radio. In a helicopter, when things go bad, they go very bad and in a big hurry.
