A flying helicopter containing agricultural chemical spray crashed with another helicopter in Akita prefecture in July 1988. One pilot died ; another pilot returned home safely. The Akita District Prosecutor's Office decided to indict the returning pilot for "an accidental homicide due to criminal negligence" under "the law concerning punishment for acts endangering air navigation". The pilot was sentenced to eight month in prison with a stay of execution for two years from the Akita District Court in July 1995. An important point in this sentence is that it did not take into account Human Factors in flight. Human Factors expertise is now recognised as an essential component in aircraft accident and incident investigation. This sentence, however, did not examine the relation between "the visual angle" and "Human Factors". In this article, the author analyzes the crash case and insistes on the necessity to study Human Factors in accident investigations.
