Interesting report. Thanks.
But they failed to precisely factor in what all VFR-at-night pilots know: Engines ALWAYS run rough when it's pitch black out.

It was clear in the report that the aircraft involved was not a VFR type. 4 engines.

Four engines has nothing to do with VFR vs. IFR.
You didn't understand the humor of my post so you obviously aren't a pilot.

Certainly not pilot enough to catch your no indicator humor.

I'm not a pilot, yet I think I had a pretty good idea (and a good chuckle).

That one is strange. I wonder why the pilot didn't reduce power to reverse the ascent. Any copter pilots here?
