Flight profile. Linked earlier
Last tracks show climb. Minor descent previously.
Terrain avoidance? Others here know that terrain much better than me. Also points to powered flight.
Some pilots think flying instruments is a near emergency. Some helo guys think IFR equals “I Follow Roads.” We know from the comms that this guy was requesting special Visual flight rules and following roads when the controllers are sequencing IFR traffic, and dealing with a wave off or go around-likely due to weather.
I guess I don’t have much sympathy for the aviating just for Koby, his daughter, and the other occupants.

Slight decent....trying to get under the ceiling to see.
We've all heard stories directly from guys that do this, it's just insane to me.
I can imagine terrain avoidance is worthless when you are that close to the ground, too. Everything would be red.
