They are demanding that the self-taught pilot of the helicopter that crashed near Pervouralsk pay for the injured woman's treatment.
The Transport Prosecutor’s Office has filed a lawsuit with the Pervouralsk court seeking recovery from the pilot who caused the helicopter crash of the medical expenses for the injured female passenger. This was reported on Friday by the Telegram channel of the Ural Transport Prosecutor’s Office.
As the supervisory agency found during an inspection of compliance with flight safety legislation, the pilot committed a number of violations of that legislation. A citizen who does not have education in the field of civil aviation and the proper qualifications for aircraft repair and ensuring safe operation, and who flew without an airworthiness certificate, carried out a flight that led to the aircraft’s crash due to its technical malfunction.
The incident involving the crash of a Robinson R44 helicopter occurred on June 12, 2024, near the settlement of Bilimbay (Pervouralsk urban district, Sverdlovsk Region). On board, in addition to the pilot, was a female passenger. The man sustained injuries of moderate severity; the passenger’s injuries were classified as severe.
The transport prosecutor’s claim seeks to recover from the pilot the compulsory medical insurance funds spent on the treatment of both. Medical care was provided (emergency, outpatient-clinic and inpatient treatment) in the total amount of 462,246 rubles at the expense of compulsory medical insurance funds.
It was previously reported that the crashed helicopter was being piloted by businessman Igor Chistovsky. His wife also sat at the aircraft’s controls, E1.RU learned. The family used the helicopter as a car, flying on their personal errands. On the day of the crash, Chistovsky was giving a ride to a family friend.
