A nine-minute flight simulation of the approach into Shetland has been played at an inquiry into a helicopter crash which killed four people.
Inverness father-of-two Gary McCrossan (59) was among those who died in the Super Puma crash in 2013.
The sixth day of the fatal accident inquiry was shown a reconstruction of the approach into Sumburgh featuring some cockpit instrumentation and synchronised with a transcript from the pilot and co-pilot.
Just before the crash, pilot Martin Miglans said: "Wow, what's going on here."
The transcript of what he said added: "Wow wow wow oh no oh no no no no."
The inquiry also heard that Mr Miglans had flown into Sumburgh 28 times in the 12 months before the crash.
Sarah Darnley (45), from Elgin, Duncan Munro (46), from Bishop Auckland, and George Allison (57), from Winchester, drowned after the crash.
A survivor, Samuel Bull, took his own life in 2017 after suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.
The inquiry, before Derek Pyle, Sheriff Principal of Grampian, Highland and Islands, continues.
