This crash was very disconcerting, this operator operates 3 109S's and several Koalas, all crew had been to Italy at least once a year for simulator training, also all mechanics were factory trained and current, most aircraft are new and in TOP NOTCH condition, Fuel Exahustion is OUT OF THE QUESTION, highly experienced crew, out for a short flight, how can you run out of fuel 3 minutes into the flight when you had about 20 more minutes to go? That aircraft gives you plenty of warning . . . .
People are talking about TR failure, some say something about the ECU, some control system, who knows?
That aircraft had some sort of catastrophic failure that made it come down like that, I hope they find out soon and they let everyone know what happened, unfortunately the manufacturers such as Agusta and Bell take advantage of the fact that in countries such as ours accident investigations are kept very confidential, (stupidly) and this helps cover up many accidents due to mechanical fault.
